Let’s jump right into the fun of drawing ivy! Start by making simple outlines for the ivy’s stem and leaves. This is like building a strong foundation for your drawing. Once you have those outlines, you can add some shading to give your ivy more depth and character. It’s a great idea to take a quick look at the overall approach before you begin, as this will help you feel more comfortable with what’s coming next. Remember, every artist has their own unique way of drawing, so don’t be afraid to experiment and make it your own! Get ready to create something beautiful!

-
Draw the Stem
Start by drawing a long curving stem.
-
Add the Midribs
Next, draw short lines along the stem to outline the midribs. These will serve as guides for forming the ivy leaves.
-
Create the Leaf Veins
Add short leaf veins branching from each midrib as shown.
-
Form the Leaf Shapes
Now, draw the pointy outlines of the ivy leaves using the leaf veins as guides. Then, outline the thin stalks connecting the bases of the leaves to the main stem.
-
Add More Leaf Veins
Draw shorter leaf veins to fill in the empty spaces across the surface of each leaf.
-
Color the Ivy Drawing
First, use brown for the stem and leaf stalks. Next, color the ivy leaves with a dark shade of green.
