Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing Lettuce
How to Draw a Great Looking Lettuce for Kids, Beginners, and Adults - Step 1
1. Begin your cartoon lettuce outline by drawing a long, curved line that becomes wavy on one end. Overlapping the tip of the first line, draw another wavy line. This is the top of the first lettuce leaf.

2. Draw another long curved line that becomes wavy near the end. Then, connect the two lines using another wavy line, allowing them to overlap where they meet. This encloses the first leaf.

3. Draw a long curved line below the first leaf, and a wavy line at its top. This encloses a second leaf, partially hidden by the first.

6. Use a wavy line to enclose a fourth lettuce leaf beside the third. Draw another line across it, giving its top depth and dimension. Connect the bottoms of the leaves with a curved line, indicating the cut stem on which the lettuce grew.

7. Texture the first leaf. Use pairs of long curved lines to sketch the branching central vein. Then, draw shorter curved lines extending out from it.

9. Texture the remaining leaves with long and short curved lines.
Your lettuce outline is now complete.
Color Your Lettuce Drawing
Color your head of lettuce. We've shaded ours green with lighter stems, as this is the most common type. But lettuce commonly has red or purplish tips to its leaves. Wilted lettuce may begin to appear yellow, pink, or brown.
