Here’s how to draw vegetables and include their root system at the same time. You can even include a worm or two and a butterfly!
Vegetables Drawing
Drawing diagrams for plants, especially root-based vegetables, needn’t be dull and boring. In fact, they can make quite a colorful and interesting work of art. (Who needs one more boring black and white sheet to label?)
This tutorial shows students how to draw some vegetables pretty realistically (including the worms!) but keeps those different leaves as manageable as possible too.

Materials for Vegetables Drawing
- Eraser. Large ones you can hold in your hand do a much better job than just the pencil tips.
- Black Sharpie Marker. These fine point permanent marker pens make nice black outlines, have a good tip for coloring, and never bleed when they get wet. Use them with good ventilation and add extra paper underneath to protect your tables.
- Prang Crayons. These are a bit softer than other crayons so they sometimes look like oil pastels. They also have a some nice brown shades that Crayola does not have unless you buy their larger boxes.
- Crayola Crayons. The reliable brand that always works well. The 24 pack has some of my favorite golden orange and yellow colors that seem a bit richer and warmer than the ones Prang has.
