Plant Life Cycle step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 1

1. Begin the plant life cycle drawing by sketching three teardrop shapes. These are the seeds. On the side of the page, draw another teardrop, this time with a line down the center.

Extend pairs of lines from this line, erasing as necessary; allow two to meet at a point and the others to create a "Y" shape. These are the roots and stem sprouting from a seed.

Do you know how a tiny seed becomes a massive tree? You can find out this and more when you sketch this plant life cycle drawing.

Plants can't run around like animals do, but they are still amazing. Many start as tiny seeds, sometimes as small as grains of sand.

This diagram follows an apple seed through its life cycle. You'll see it sprout and grow into a mighty tree, flower, and produce fruit - fruit that has more seeds inside! Thus, the cycle begins again.

This drawing is great for a science fair project. You can learn even more about plants. For example, this plant diagram drawing names all the parts.
