If you want to learn how to draw individual parts of plants, then this lesson will be very useful for you, because now you will learn how to draw roots. The root is the underground part of plants, but in some plant species the root may be above the ground. Roots have similar functions, but different structures.

In the figure, you see a well-developed main root, from which lateral and adventitious roots emanate. The main root is wide and vertical, while the adventitious roots are thinner.

Freehand lines are allowed in this tutorial, so the shape and size of the roots in your drawing may differ from my example. The main thing is to remember the sequence of steps so that you can easily draw the roots of the plant if necessary.
