Long ago the cactus was a rare plant that can be seen in the deserts of Africa or America. Now we think that the cactus is just a usual house plant. Some of the cacti serve as a food in the south. Some types of them contain a useful liquid for the body. The cactus absorbs maximum of moisture and then it quietly grows in the desert, without requiring a lot of water.
We offer you to draw this plant. But not deserted plant, but the house one – in the pot.
Basis
Draw a horizontally elongated oval.
Top
Draw two slightly curved lines to the bottom and connect them with a vertical line. You’ve got the upper part of the pot.
Lower part
Draw down two lines, tilting them at a slight angle. Connect them.
Plant
Start “planting” the cactus. Draw a large circle, part of which is intersected with the pot. Draw the figure with a help of the compass.
Extra lines
Carefully erase the circle’s lines which are intersected with the pot.
Hollows
Cactus is not perfectly smooth. It has hollows, similar to grooves.
Draw them from another side of the plant.
Flower
Our cactus will bloom, that’s why we start drawing a petal.
Draw the petals around the circle.
There must be five of them.
When you’ll finish drawing them, draw another layer of petals.
Big thorns
It’s time to decorate the cactus with the thorns.
Small thorns
Decorate the rest of the space on the lines with the small thorns.
Additional lines
The last detail – two additional vertical lines on the cactus. Now the drawing can be considered as completed.
