Asparagus study

Practice drawing asparagus with clear contours and a few selected details. Taper the tips into buds made from a few overlapping shapes. Add sparse stalk nodes and tiny gray accents under the bud overlaps.

A way into the drawing

1. Start with the main forms

   Lay out three long stalks at slightly different angles.

2. Build the overlaps

   Taper the tips into buds made from a few overlapping shapes.

3. Choose the finishing details

   Add sparse stalk nodes and tiny gray accents under the bud overlaps.

A small thing to tryVary the heights and overlaps so the spears do not look like repeated parallel lines.
