Cartoony Lesson #7: How to Draw a Green Leafy Plant

Welcome Cartoony Drawing-Seeker!

The free drawing lesson that used to play on this Web page has packed its little cartoony self and moved on up! Yes, it was so popular with googly searching creatives that it's now been published in my exciting printable e-playbook, You Can Draw Cartoony Things! which features this drawing lesson and 14 others, plus 13 of my original Nit Wits comics and more drawing resources to inspire creative cartooning, imagination, humor, and play (click on book covers above to learn more). Thank you for your interest! — Chris Dunmire, Author

This cartoony green leafy plant makes use of repetitive forms (leaves) that are layered and drawn smaller the further away they appear visually. After you draw the outline of the plant, make the color of the leaves more interesting by alternating light and dark greens. Nit Wits #2 ("Purrassic Park") made use of a similar leafy plant.
