How to Draw a Vine
Draw a vine in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the winding stem.
Step 1: The winding stem
Start at the bottom, left of middle. Wind a stem up and over to the right, thin at the tip.
Tip Keep it wide at the ground so it can stand up.
Step 2: Leaves on the left
On the left of the stem draw 3 pointed leaves, like fat almonds, pointing up: low, middle and high.
Step 3: Leaves on the right
On the right draw 3 more pointed leaves pointing down and out, the top one at the tip.
Step 4: Leaf veins
Start on the stem at each leaf. Draw 1 curved vein out to the tip, stopping just short of it.
Step 5: Tendrils
Draw 2 curly tendrils springing off the stem, one in the middle and one near the top, each swirling once.
Step 6: A bunch of grapes
From under the stem's curl draw a short stalk down. Hang 3 grapes, then 2 tucked under, then 1.
Step 7: The ground
Start near the left edge. Draw a soft ground line across the bottom, through the stem, to the right edge.
Step 8: Grass
On each side of the stem draw 2 pointed grass blades, starting and ending on the ground line.
Step 9: Green leaves and grass
Go over your lines, then colour all 6 leaves and the grass green.
Step 10: Purple grapes
Colour the grapes a juicy purple.
Step 11: Brown stem
Colour the winding stem brown, and your vine is done.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a vine, drawn by you.
