Crazy Busy Art Room Art Prompt 33

Happy Tuesday Artists!  Today we are going to be creating a drawing of potted cacti.


Supplies Needed:  Paper, pencil, eraser, black marker and medium of your choice (markers, crayons, watercolor paints)

I have posted photos to help you with the steps, but please read through the directions for additional instructions or creative choices.

Step 1:  Draw an ellipse near the center of your paper.  Remember an ellipse shape is a flatten oval.


Step 2:  Draw 2 curved lines from the outside of the ellipse shape to create the sides of a bowl.


Step 3:  Draw a slightly curved line to create the bottom of the bowl.


Step 4:  Draw a line to double the edge of the bowl.  This will help create depth.


Step 5:  Add a zig-zag line to create a little plant in your bowl.


Step 6:  Draw a long upside down "U" shape to create your first cactus.


Step 7:  Draw a slightly curved line to create the bottom of your cactus.  Erase the line of the bowl that is going through the cactus.

Step 8:  Draw a circle to create another cactus.


Step 9:  Erase the lines inside the circle.  If you want to,  you can add a flower on top of the cactus.


Step 10:  Let's make another upside down "U" shape to create a third cactus behind the small plant.


Step 11:  Add a smaller circle on top of this cactus.


Step 12:  Erase the lines to connect the 2 shapes.  Also, erase any bowl lines going through the shape.


Step 13:  Add another cactus shape if you wish.  Add additional cactus flowers if you wish.  Or more small plants.

Step 14:  Outline your art using a black marker.  If you are planning on painting, make sure your marker is permanent.

Step 15:  Using a black marker, add lines to each cactus.  You can add short tiny lines to make the cactus look pokey.

Step 16:  Using a black marker add small circles to make rocks in the bowl.


Step 17:  Divide your bowl with line to create different spaces.


Step 18:  Using vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and zig-zag lines decorate the spaces created inside the bowl.  Play with thick and thin lines.

Step 19:  Color  or paint your project with the medium of your choice.
