How to Draw a Swiss Cheese Plant

1. Begin the Swiss cheese plant outline by drawing its pot. Use a series of curved lines to sketch the rectangular shape. Use a wavy line to indicate the soil. From it, extend a pair of curved lines.

This will become the stem of the first leaf. Use a series of curved lines, doubled back on themselves, to sketch the deeply lobed leaf.

2. Complete the leaf, using curved lines that double back on themselves. Note how the lines meet at a point in the center.

Then, draw a long curved line down the leaf’s center for a vein. Extend a pair of curved lines from the base of the first leaf to form the stem of a second.

3. Use a series of curved lines that double back on themselves to enclose the shape of the second leaf. Draw a long curved line down the leaf’s center.

4. Extend two pairs of curved lines from the soil, forming two more stems. Allow two of the lines to meet at a sharp point. Around the tip of this compound line, enclose the deeply lobed leaf.

5. Enclose another deeply lobed leaf and draw a curved line down its center.

6. Extend three sets of lines from the pot, allowing one set to meet at a sharp point. Then, use curved lines, doubled back, to begin sketching another leaf.

7. Use a long curved line, doubled back on itself many times, to create another leaf. Draw a long curved line down its center.

8. Draw two more leaves partially hidden behind the others.

9. Draw another partial leaf in the background. Then, enclose rounded shapes on the surface of many of the leaves. Then, use curved lines to complete the top of the pot.

Your cartoon Swiss cheese plant is now complete. Color your drawing. Monsteras are bright to dark green in color.

The most sought-after varieties are variegated, meaning they have splotches of white or light green.
