Line Drawing: Cactus & Succulent Edition
4.3(168)11k students
Line drawing is an accessible art form that works in both fine and bold line styles. This class catalogs and teaches how to draw twenty cacti and succulents in a doodle-illustration style—visual clarity without photorealism.
Each plant type (Pincushion cactus, Zebra aloe, Burro's tail, and more) gets specific attention to distinctive characteristics: how to suggest form with line alone, how to differentiate species at a glance. The doodle approach is forgiving and rewarding—mistakes blend seamlessly into the style. Perfect for botanical enthusiasts, doodlers wanting to expand their subject range, or anyone drawn to creating illustrated plant collections.
Line drawing is an easy art form featuring illustrative, doodle-like designs. It's used widely among artists of many types with both fine lines and bold lines. This class is a follow up from my Botanical Line Drawing class featuring flowers and leaves (which is not needed to take this class, although you should because it's fun!), and goes over 20 types of cacti and succulents.
This class will go over the following cacti and succulents in a "doodle" illustrated form
