How to Draw a Great Looking Orchid in a Pot for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the orchid in a pot outline by drawing its pot. Use a long “U” shaped line to form the deep pot used to grow orchids.
Enclose a partial oval shape near the top, and use a wavy line to indicate the potting medium. Then, extend a pair of curved lines to form the sides of the leaf.

Learn More About The Orchid in a Pot Drawing
Orchids are exotic, brightly colored flowers that many people keep as houseplants. You can add an orchid - or several! - to your collection when you learn how to draw an orchid in a pot.
There are thousands of different types of orchids. This orchid is a Phalaenopsis or moth orchid.
The latter name describes the moth-like shape of the petals. Check out this moth drawing to compare their shapes.
Some people think the orchid also resembles a lion's face drawing. Can you see the portions of the petals that look a bit like a lion's nose, its lower jaw with canine teeth, and its mane?
One more thing you might notice about this drawing is how deep the pot is. Orchids are kept in pots that are taller than other plants because of the way their roots grow.
