1. Begin the cartoon ZZ plant outline by drawing its flower pot. Use curved lines to enclose the rectangular bottom and rim of the pot. Notice that the lines at the top of the pot don’t quite meet.

Draw a wavy line to indicate the soil, and extend two curved lines from it. Allow them to meet at a sharp point, forming the first stem.

Draw four teardrop-shaped leaves on its sides, and draw a curved line down the center of each.
