How to Draw a Four-Leaf Clover
- Draw the first leaf.
So, first draw the first clover petal. We don’t create the basic shapes or layouts first, but draw the individual parts of the clover.
- Draw a second leaf.
Repeat the previous step and draw another clover petal. This is also very similar to the heart sign, just like the shape from the first step. Pay attention to the distance between the figures.
- Add the third leaf.
Draw the third petal. The sharp parts of all petals should come together in the center and even slightly overlap each other.
- Add the fourth leaf.
Finish drawing the petals. Check the symmetry of the entire design as a whole. Also, check the shapes of the petals and the distance between them.
- Draw the stem.
First sketch the side lines then the bottom edge with one short line.
- Make the finishing touches.
Using smooth short lines, connect all the leaves to each other.
- Erase the guidelines.
Then you can outline the clover drawing with darker and sharper lines.
- Color the clover.
Just color your clover green like in my example.

Improve Your Artistic Skills
If you want to give your drawing a more realistic look, then follow my tips:
- Add small veins to the leaves of the four-leaf clover using thin lines.
- Color the leaves unevenly and use different shades of green, because in real life there are highlights and dark areas on the leaves. In this case, the transition between different shades should be smooth.
I recommend that you practice further and draw a few more leaves of the four-leaf clover. As a result, you will notice that each time the shape of the leaves will be better and the plant in your drawing will look more natural and realistic. Draw as often as possible and gradually improve your artistic abilities.
Conclusion
I hope you did well with this creative challenge. There are many other plants in the world that have similar leaf shapes, and the skills acquired will definitely be useful to you in the future for creating new beautiful designs. You can also draw other plants on my website.
