How To Draw Vine Leaves

Download Article

Jungle vines can be spotted hanging from tree branches. They often grow so long that they extend from one tree to the other. Here's a simple tutorial that shows you how to draw them.

Steps

1

Sketch a simple curved line. This will be the basis for the vine's form.
2

Add lines on either side of the above line. This will add thickness to your vine.

Now draw another line for contrast. This time, make it look like it's curving around your first vine.

5

Add in leaves. You can also add more vines and any other details that you want.
6

Add any other detail you'd like.
7

Color it and you're done!

The more vines you draw, the thicker the jungle will look. The less vines you draw, it'll look like it has more open space.
Question

Depending on the amount of leaves I draw, how does it change the look of my forest?

Thicker forests have thicker vines with more leaves. Also, drawing moss on the vines makes them look older.

As long as it erases well and is sharpened to let you draw the details, any pencil should be fine.

Just add them in the same step as drawing the leaves. In step 5 while you add leaves, it says that you can add any other detail you want. Just do it in the same style, and the same way/direction you drew the leaves.
