How to draw a beet step by step

Step 1: Sketch the beet body

First, draw a rounded shape. Note that this is an asymmetrical circle. It will form the body of the future beet.

Step 2: Add the beet leaves

Now sketch the leaves of the beet. As you can see, the stalks are very thin, while the leaves are broad and slightly curved.

Step 3: Draw the leaf veins

Draw the veins inside the beet leaves. Refine the contours; use smoother, cleaner lines. Arrange the straight lines at sharp angles to the central veins of each leaf.

Step 4: Shade the finished beet

Draw the shadows to make the beet look more solid and realistic. Do not forget to add a cast shadow on the ground. Start with the dark areas, applying the densest shading there. Next, add the midtones.
