How to Draw Clover
Smart Art Institute Online - Drawing and Painting Art Lessons
Clover is fun to draw. This lesson could also be called How to Draw a Shamrock because the shamrock is a three-leafed clover. It is also known as a symbol of Ireland. You could draw a shamrock in honor of St. Patrick's Day. |

When I was a kid, I used to love to plop down in a patch of green and look for four-leafed clovers or make necklaces by attaching one bloom to another. Clovers remind me of lazy summer afternoons and I often find myself doodling pictures of them when I am talking on the phone or sitting in meetings. You will have fun drawing them too, so grab a pencil and a permanent marker along with some watercolor pencils and a paint brush.
Now let's get started with the How to Draw Clover
step by step drawing tutorial. |
Clover Drawing Tutorial Part 1:
Draw a shape that looks like a cross between a heart and a triangle. Now draw two
more, with the pointy parts almost touching in the middle.
|
|
Clover Drawing Tutorial Part 2:
Now you are going to connect the three shapes in the middle with lines and add a stem
to your clover where the leaves connect.
|
|
Clover Drawing Tutorial Part 3:
Draw a line down the middle of each leaf. |
|
Clover Drawing Tutorial Part 4:
Starting at the pointy part of the leaf, make tiny lines on each side of the leaf's
middle line so that it forms a V shape. Make these lines until you fill up each leaf, creating a ribbed texture.
|
|
Clover Drawing Tutorial Part 5:
A little less than halfway down on each leaf, make a thick zigzag line that goes down in
a wide V shape to the edges of the leaf.
|
|
Clover Drawing Tutorial Part 6:
With watercolor pencils, color the zigzag portion yellow, the stem green and color
every other stripe on the leaf green. |
|
Clover Drawing Tutorial Part 7:
Dip your brush in clear water and blend your colors on the clover. |
|
Clover Drawing Tutorial Part 8:
Fill in the background with the color of your choice and blend with clear water. If
desired, once the paper is dry, outline the clover in permanent marker. |
