How to Draw a Bamboo Plant

1

Start off by drawing your heart like so. You can choose any style heart. A small stubby one, or a large wide one.

2

The next thing you will do is draw out the base of the pot which is usually ceramic.

3

Now we will start drawing the first of the bamboo step which starts to fork at the base. Also sketch in some leaves for the plant.

4

Okay, add the sections of bamboo shoots along with some sporadic leaves.

5

We will now start drawing the heart shaped bamboo shoots. At the crease of each shoot you will need to add small sprigs of leaves.

6

Continue to draw the arched shape of the bamboo plant, then add some small pieces of leaves.

7

Now you will finish off the heart shape by adding the last two sections of shoots. Add some small pieces of leaves, then you are done.

Description: Okay, so I know you guys have seen these bamboo plants in the stores like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowes, or wherever. Well I finally bought one after procrastinating that I would the other day and let me tell you, I love it. This lesson is going to show you "how to draw a bamboo plant", step by step. My bamboo doesn't look like a heart like you see here, instead it has a cascading intertwined look that is almost perfect in design. You can buy bamboo plants in a variety of styles. Shoots that go straight up, ones that are twisted within one another, or you can go and get the plants that are like mine, a a maze like pattern. One thing is certain, no matter what type of bamboo you like, they are all great. I chose to make a heart shaped bamboo plant because of Valentine's Day, but you can go with whatever you like. Have fun and stay tuned in for more tuts on the way.
