Steps To Draw Mistletoe
Here is a quick preview of today’s tutorial. We tried to make this tutorial very easy and simple. Follow the guide below to draw the mistletoe step by step.
Step 1: Draw Circle as Berry
Let’s start our drawing lesson by sketching a small circle. We are using a free hand to draw the circle. We are using a marker for a clean look but we prefer to use a pencil if you are a beginner.
Step 2: Draw More Berries
Similarly, add two circles on the right side to represent more berries. Here we have three berries.
Step 3: Draw First Leaf
Now, let’s add a leaf to our mistletoe. So from the bottom of the berries, just sketch curve lines to make a curvy leaf of our mistletoe.
Step 4: Complete First Leaf
Continue from the previous step and start to sketch curve lines to complete our mistletoe leaf. Finally, we have drawn the first leaf of mistletoe.
Step 5: Draw Second Leaf
Similarly, we have to draw a second leaf of mistletoe. So in this step, just from the second berry at the left side sketch three curve lines to form the half leaf.
Step 6: Complete Second Leaf
Now continue from the previous step and draw three more curve lines to complete our second leave of mistletoe.
Step 7: Sketch Third Leaf
We are repeating the same process on each step so here also let’s sketch the three curve lines from the 3rd berry to make the half leaf of mistletoe.
Step 8: Complete Third Leaf
Continue the previous step, and sketch three lines to complete our third leaf. Finally, we have our beautiful mistletoe ready for this Christmas.
Step 9: Add Midrib and Veins to First Leaf
Now on the left part of the first leaf, draw a small line at the middle of the leaf to make a midrib of the leaf and also add small lines joining the midrib to make the veins of our leaf.
Step 10: Add Midrib and Veins to Second Leaf
Now similar to the previous step, again on the left second leaf just sketch a straight line from the middle of the leaf for midrib and add some small lines to represent the veins of the leaf.
Step 11: Add Midrib and Veins to Third Leaf
Finally, on the third leave too we need to add midrib. So here we just draw a line at the middle of the leaf and again add some small lines for the veins of the leaf. At last, we have our beautiful mistletoe.
Coloring Mistletoe
We have a lot of drawings for this Christmas like we have our Christmas tree, snow globe, Santa Claus and a lot of art stuff on our website. Mistletoe is one of the best decorative items for this Christmas and we have finally drawn our mistletoe. Let’s color it on the next step.
We have a lot of fun sketching our mistletoe and coloring will be more fun and exciting. Let’s get in at first we have color our berries to dark red color and for the leaves, we have just used a green color.
