Low, tall, green, yellow, with thorns and without spines, crowned with a beautiful flower or not blooming - all this is about cacti. Cute plants growing in flower pots on our windowsills remind us of the tropical edges, where the summer lasts forever. Guests of the arid deserts sometimes delight their owners with exotic appearance and beautiful colors, and deservedly use all the privileges of pets.

A indoor plant can arouse so much interest in children that they will want to draw it. Let's try to figure out how to draw a cactus. The article contains step -by -step descriptions of the cactus drawing both in the usual form - in a ceramic pot, and in the wild, where they grow to incredible sizes.

How to draw a cactus with a pencil in stages for beginners and children?

Cacti can be found in a variety of forms: round as a ball, with long, easily broken off “sticks”, or “tortilla” flattened from the sides, resembling fluffy white, green, thorny rocks or huge pillars. However, drawing these diverse forms of the same plant is not as difficult as it seems.

Learning to draw a blooming cactus

For work you will need:

simple pencil
clean sheet of paper
flomasters or colored pencils

Before drawing a blooming cactus, we outline the boundaries of the future drawing with a simple pencil.

We draw the simplest sketch of the prickly plant: start with a circle.

Add the processes down - small individual cacti that easily take root as an independent plant if they are separated. We draw a cactus contour with a slightly wavy line, because the plant has tubercles and outgrowths from which needles grow.

At the top of the cactus we draw a flower. To do this, we will depict its base: an inverted cone with highly rounded corners.

We depict another part of a cup of a cactus of an incomprehensible elongated shape.

Oval with a cup for a cactus pattern flower

We draw a blossomed flower. We show a number of triangular wide petals that are closer to the viewer.

Add small petals inside the flower: their upper part is also a triangular shape with highly rounded corners.

Along the entire cactus, draw tubercles from which the thorns will grow. We give them the shape of stars.

We denote the circles of the place where the thorns will be

On the processes of the cactus, we draw the bases for needles, but their shape is somewhat different from the drawn early: it is enough to draw small circles.

We begin to draw the base of the spines. Look at the photo - they resemble tiny stars, with a large number of processes.

Draw a stamens of a cactus flower and make painting

Add several bases for spines on a flower cup.
We depict long thorns - the main feature of the exotic plant. After that, we finish the middle of the flower - elongated stamens with twisted tops.

We remove unnecessary pencil lines. At this stage, you can draw the missing details.
We decorate the cactus with green, and the flower is pink.

True, it’s not difficult to draw even a flowering cactus? The main difficulty is to correctly depict small thorns.

How to draw a cactus in a pot?

We draw a homemade cactus in a pot - the way we are used to seeing it at home or in offices.

For work you will need:

compass
eraser
simple pencil
clean sheet of paper

Having determined how much space a pot will take on the sheet and what height the cactus will be, we begin to draw the upper part of the pot - horizontally elongated oval.

From the most protruding points of the oval on the sides we draw two lines down under a small inclination. We connect them with a vertical line. Twist the edges.
Having slightly retreated from the walls of the upper part of the pot, draw two more lines down, tilting them at a slight angle. Again, connect them at the bottom of the straight line.
We “sit” a cactus in a pot: draw a circle intersecting in the lower part with a pot. If you are not sure that you can draw a circle, then use the compass.
We remove the auxiliary lines in the lower part of the cactus, which is hidden by the walls of the pot.
We draw the grooves on the cactus. To portray them correctly, we remember how the cut watermelon looks like.
All grooves begin at one point at the top of the cactus. We draw curved lines over the entire circle of the cactus.
A flower grows from the top of the cactus. We draw its middle in the form of a circle and a small petal.
We continue to draw petals in a circle until there are 5 pieces.
We draw a second row of petals.
Along all the grooves, we mark the tubercles from which the thorns grow in circles.
It's time to decorate the cactus with spines. We draw them in the form of stars in random order. First, draw large thorns, and then add small ones.
We draw additional lines between the grooves and we can start decorating.

And here is another pattern of pots with cacti and a detailed description of how to perform it:

We draw three different cacti: two of them are round in shape, and the third is an elongated oval. Immediately denote the edges of the upper part of the pot.

Add processes on cacti. We draw the lower part of the pot: it is not deep and wide.

We draw rare leaves on a long cactus, draw vertical grooves on an average cactus. Using wavy lines, show the soil inside the pot.

We cover with rare leaflets a long cactus — "Cover" with rare leaves a long cactus

Add the thorns to our cacti: short - at the one on the left, in the form of a group of dashes along the grooves - in the middle cactus, with wavy lines, show the thorns on the highest cactus.

We clarify the shape of the cacti, add the lines on the pot.

Clarify the contours of the cacti, add the lines on the pot

A flower flaunts at the top of the middle cactus. We portray it, showing two rows of petals and the core.

Add the shadows and drawing of the cacti is ready.

Another lesson by drawing a cactus in a pot:

We depict a large circle - it will be a cactus.

From below at a circle at a certain distance we will draw a semicircular line - the contour of the flower pot in which the cactus grows.

We clarify the shape of the cactus, add the lines along the edge of the flower pot.

We draw semicircular grooves on a cactus. We decorate the top of the plant with small flowers.

Draw grooves and flowers at the top of the cactus

We lead a darker color to the contours of the plant and pot. We wipe the extra lines and give our cactus a natural look: we apply green paint on a cactus, paint the pot with brown color, and the flowers - purple or yellow.

We remove unnecessary lines with an eraser

We apply paints — Apply green paint on a cactus, brown - on a pot. Color the flowers in color, which you like the most.

Such a drawing can be placed in a frame and hang on the wall. Or draw on a small dense sheet of paper and give a lover of prickly plants.

Video: Draw a cactus cactus

We draw a cactus in a pot with children:

We draw three inverted pyramids. Their edges are almost vertical. Above each pyramid we draw the upper part of the pot, which in shape resembles an elongated rectangle.
Now we draw cacti: the first plant resembles a lot of elongated ovals, the second cactus looks like a zucchini with oval processes added on the sides, the third cactus semicircular with vertical grooves and a flower at the top.
We decorate the drawing with pencils or paints.
We draw the contours with a darker color.

How to draw a cactus in the desert?

We draw a cactus in the desert:

Cacti grow in arid areas, so we will draw the corresponding landscape. We depict the edges of the rocky rocks on which cacti grow.

We draw the edges of the rocks

There are usually many stones on the rocks. We draw a couple different in shape of pebbles.

Now we will “put” cacti in the sand of the large desert: some of them are elongated, some are round, but everyone has protruding processes.

In the background, mountains of a hot desert are visible. We depict them with wavy lines.

Inhale life into our desert landscape: we decorate the rocks with yellow color by changing shades, cacti - green, and make the sky clear, using blue paint.

Here's how you can draw a cactus giant:

we will apply the initial lines of all components of the cactus parts
we will draw a straight line slightly above the base of the cactus - this is the earth in which a cactus grows
we will draw grooves along all parts of the cactus
dropped the thorns
we will depict tiny stones on the ground
we decorate the drawing

Another cactus that can be drawn both in the desert and growing in a flower pot:

We draw an elongated oval contour of the plant, adding a couple of drop -like processes on the sides, and on them another couple of outgrowths.
We draw grooves throughout the plant and processes. Along the grooves we draw spines - small frequent strokes. Show the rocky soil with several strokes.
We decorate the plant with a dark green color and light green. We paint the soil with a yellow or light brown color.

We draw a cactus with a child:

To draw a cactus, it is enough to portray simple geometric figures: a cylinder, oval, circle.
We depict the oval elongated vertically, the lower end of which is “trimmed” with a straight line. On both sides, we finish the processes of the cactus, placing them at a small angle. Preteen the cactus in green.
