Maybe you have been told to always eat your veggies. Now you can draw them, too, with the help of these easy, step-by-step vegetable drawing tutorials.
16 Easy Vegetables Drawing Ideas
Peas
Did you know that round peas grow in long pods that resemble green beans? You can discover them inside this drawing guide.
Lady Finger
Okra is called lady's fingers because the pointed pods resemble fingers with long fingernails. Check out the flower-like arrangement of the seeds inside the cut vegetable.
Broccoli
This tree-like vegetable can make your body strong. That is why in our drawing, the broccoli is personified with a face and with defiant hands on its hips.
Cauliflower
Cauliflower is related to broccoli. But unlike the cartoonish broccoli drawing above, this one has detailed leaves and a realistic texture.
Garlic
This vegetable is a bulb that grows underground. Each bulb can be divided into cloves. Note the bulges of the cloves on the whole garlic bulbs and the loose cloves below them.
Carrot
Carrots are one of the most well-known root vegetables. Sketch its triangle shape and the rectangular leaves on top.
Squash
Butternut squash is a fiddle-shaped vegetable. In this illustration, you can see what the whole squash looks like as well as the flesh and seeds inside when it is cut.
Green Beans
The green beans you eat from a can are short and cylindrical, as they have been cut. These beans are fresh from the garden - still long and with stems on top.
Salad
A fresh salad is a great way to enjoy your garden vegetables. Draw the round shapes of the plate, cucumbers, and onions, the heart-shaped tomatoes, and the leafy lettuce.
Asparagus
Asparagus spears are stems cut before they are able to flower. In our illustration, many spears are tied together just like in the grocery store.
Onion
You can draw the round shape of this root vegetable, as well as the pointed roots on the bottom and the leaves on top. The cut onion allows you to see the layers inside.
Lettuce
Romaine and green leaf lettuce are a bouquet of large leaves growing from a short stem. Sketch the leaves' wavy edges and branching veins.
Cucumber
Cucumbers are long, cylindrical melon-like vegetables. When cut into discs, you can see the teardrop-shaped seeds inside.
Eggplant
Eggplants are roughly teardrop-shaped vegetables with green leaves and stems at the top. You can see the disks that these eggplants have been cut into, along with the seedy texture inside.
Autumn Season
Fall is the season when the harvest comes to completion. Draw this farmer proudly parading his harvest of squash, pumpkins, and eggplant in a wheelbarrow.
Halloween Pumpkin
Pumpkins are fun to draw, and there are many on this list. This one has been carved into a jack o'lantern, with sharp, pointed teeth and glowing eyes.
More About Drawing Vegetables
Vegetables are not too hard to draw. As you work through the following tutorials, you will see them broken down into familiar shapes or simple lines.
How can you put your vegetable drawings to good use? Here are some ideas:
- Put your drawings in picture frames to decorate your kitchen or dining room.
- Illustrate a school report or poster about healthy eating.
- Make a recipe book for yourself or as a gift for someone else.
- Make stakes or markers to identify the plants in your vegetable garden.
- Let someone know how much you care by making a greeting card featuring "two peas in a pod."
Don't forget to have your crayons, colored pencils, or markers ready. Vegetables come in many bright colors. Sometimes, one type of vegetable comes in many different varieties, so don't stop with just one.
Even if your parents tell you not to play with your food, you can have tons of fun with these drawings. Try a bite, and try each tutorial, too.
