Step by Step Cabbage Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Start with a Leaf on the Bottom
Draw one big leaf curving upward. It looks like a wide, smiling mouth with a leaf vein inside.
Step 2 – Add Another Leaf Beside It
Now draw a second leaf curving from the opposite side, overlapping slightly with the first.
Step 3 – Draw the Round Cabbage Head
Above the leaves, draw a large circle to represent the main cabbage head. Add curvy lines for leaf texture.
Step 4 – Add More Leaves Around
Draw two smaller leaves sticking out from behind the cabbage. Use wavy lines to make them look leafy and natural.
Step 5 – Finish the Leaf Layers
Add one more layer of leaves on top to make your cabbage look full and fresh.
Step 6 – Add a Face (Optional!)
Make your cabbage extra cute with two eyes and a smile in the center. Now it has St. Paddy’s Day spirit!
