How to Draw a Cactus
- Draw the basic outline.
A cactus has a main stem, which, in fact, holds the whole plant. It should be drawn oblong and oval. You don’t have to try to make the stem as even as possible, because there is no ideal shape.
- Draw two small stems.
Draw two small ones to the standing large stem. Also, you do not need to arrange them directly opposite each other. They should be a little uneven, you can make one slightly higher than the other.
- Add needles and additional lines.
As you know, a cactus has a lot of needles. Draw these needles on top of the main large stem and on top of the two small ones. Also, the plant has irregularities, so you should draw several lines around the perimeter of the plant. Draw three on each stem.
