How to Draw a Pothos Plant

1. Begin the cartoon pothos outline by drawing two leaves. First, draw two curved lines that branch from one another like the letter “Y.” Then, use curved lines to draw a teardrop shape around each one.

Next, draw the flower pot. Draw a horizontal curved line that passes behind one leaf to form the top of the pot and another long curved line for the bottom.

2. Draw more leaves, some with “Y” shaped branching stems. For each leaf, start with a curved line for the stem and central vein. Then use curved lines to enclose a teardrop shape around it.

3. Draw more leaves, using curved lines for the central veins and to enclose the teardrop-shaped leaves.

Erase portions of the pot as needed. Extend a long curved line to form one of the plant’s vining tendrils.

4. Draw several leaves along the vine, erasing as necessary. Use curved lines for the central veins and the edges of the leaves. Then, extend another long curved line to form another vine.

5. Draw leaves along the vine, erasing as needed. Use curved lines for the central veins and the edges of the leaves.

6. Draw a long curved line from one side of the plant. Draw leaves along it, some of them partially hidden behind the pot and other leaves. Enclose a teardrop-shaped leaf around the end of the previous vine.

7. Draw more leaves along the vine. Again, use curved lines for the central veins and the edges of the leaves.

8. Use curved lines to draw more stems and teardrop-shaped leaves.

9. Draw one more stem with teardrop-shaped leaves. Then enclose a small, narrow oval above the plant.

Extend straight lines from the oval to the plant, then draw a short line above the oval. This is the pot’s hanger.

Your cartoon pothos outline is now complete. Color the plant. Some pothos are solid green while others are variegated with white, yellow, silver, pink, or dark and light green blotches.
