Learn More About The Snake Plant Drawing

Snake plants are house plants with distinct green-and-gold leaves. Learn how to draw a snake plant in a simple vase.

You'll use a lot of curved lines to draw the snake plant's flame-like leaves.

Try practicing by drawing wide, sweeping curves and S-shapes on a separate page. Dynamic curves make the plant look like it's trying to reach the sky.

If you look at photos of real snake plants, you'll find that the stripes almost blend together like wood grain.

To capture this pattern, you'll draw thin stripes instead of thick outlines. Similarly, notice the curved shadows and highlights that give the leaves depth.
