How to Draw a Sweet Pea

1. Begin the sweet pea outline with a series of wavy curved lines. First, draw a backward “C” shaped line.

Around it, draw wavy lines to enclose what appear to be the wings of an upside-down butterfly. Then, draw another curved line from the bottom of one wing to its top.

2. Draw another curved line from the previous line to the side of the opposite “wing” so that the blossom is symmetrical. Detail the flower with wavy and curved lines.

Then, begin drawing another blossom from a different angle. Use a curved line to enclose an irregular teardrop shape. Then, enclose a semi-circle on one side of it.

3. Use three curved lines to enclose additional petals. Then draw the stem. Use a pair of long, curved lines that pass behind the other blossom.

Near the bottom of the stem, extend two short curved lines that meet at a point, forming a leaflet.

4. Draw a long, curved line passing behind the first, beginning another stem. Extend two curved lines from it also, but don’t let them touch.

Draw a line upward from the second blossom. Use curved lines that meet at jagged points to sketch the sepal of another flower. Then, use wavy curved lines to enclose two petals.

5. Complete the stem, drawing another curved line parallel to it. Use curved lines to enclose a small sepal and large petals on top of it - another blossom.

6. Use a curved line to enclose one more large petal on the previous flower. Then, use curved lines to draw the sepals and petals of yet another sweet pea blossom.

7. From the stem, extend two curved lines that meet at a point, enclosing the leaf.

Along another portion of the stem, use a series of curved lines to enclose a jagged sepal, then long curved lines for the flower’s petals.

8. Enclose three more leaves, each consisting of two curved lines that meet at a point. Then texture the leaves with curved lines.

9. Texture the remaining leaves with curved lines. Then draw spiral-shaped lines, the vines, and tendrils that the sweet pea uses to hold onto trellises or other plants.

Your sweet pea outline is now complete. Color your plant. Sweet pea flowers are often a combination of colors including white, yellow, pink, red, and purple.
