Time Needed: 30 minutes
-
Draw the Rocks
Start by drawing large oval rocks arranged in a shape that looks like the number “8.”
-
Add the Succulents
Next, draw small succulent plants nestled between the rocks. Erase any overlapping lines so the succulents appear planted within the rock garden.
-
Draw the Flowering Shrubs
Outline the bushy, rounded shape of the shrubs beside the succulents. Then, add small flowers.
-
Add the Fern
Fill in the empty spaces by drawing tall, pointy fern leaves.
-
Draw the Grass
Draw patches of grass surrounding the rock garden.
-
Color the Rock Garden Drawing
First, use shades of gray for the rocks and brown for the soil. Now, color the fern a yellow-green shade. Next, color the succulents light green. Then, fill in the shrubs with a darker shade of green. Use yellow and orange for the flower petals. Finally, fill the surrounding grass with a vibrant green color.
