How To Draw A Leaf with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy drawing tutorial for beginners and kids.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
We will start this tutorial on how to draw a leaf by following the outline of the leaf. To do this, we’ll use two lines that start at the same point, curve outward and then back to meet at a point.
Step 2
Add a trunk
Every leaf needs a stem and that’s what we’ll be adding to the next part of your leaf drawing.
The stem is made up of two curved lines that come out from the center of the plane of the leaf. Then the trunk will be finished with a flat line at the end.
Step 3
Draw in the center line
Your leaf drawings are starting to come together now! We’ll add a few more details to it before we’re done and in this step we’ll add a center line to your leaf.
This line is called the midrib, and the veins of the leaf join it.
We will add these veins in the next step, so for now you just need to draw a slightly curved line to the center of the leaf.
Step 4
Add some veins to your leaves
In step 3 of the tutorial on how to draw a leaf, I mentioned the veins of the leaf, and in this step we will add them!
These should be pretty simple to draw, but they make all the difference in making your leaf drawing look more realistic.
To draw these in, simply add a few lines to the midrib of the leaf. They will come in different lengths, so you can look at the reference image for what length should be.
You can also add more or less lines to create a different look!
You can find some leaves in the yard or search for some pictures for inspiration on how you can turn these details into a variation.
Step 5
Pull out some final details
Your leaf drawing is now in great shape, but oftentimes some extra details can be just what a drawing needs! We have shown some shapes that you can add by drawing some small lines and circles to give the leaf more texture.
In addition to these, you can also draw some interesting details of your own! If I was drawing this, I would add a little ladybug gnawing a hole in the leaf. What interesting details would you add to add character to your leaf drawing?
Step 6
Finish your leaf with some color
It’s fun to draw a leaf with you, but there’s still one more step in this tutorial and it’s a fun one!
