How to Draw a Jack-in-the-Pulpit Flower · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The top petal
Start near the top of your paper and draw a big round bump, like an upside-down U. Let both ends curl inward a little at the bottom.
Step 3: The side petals
Draw a round bump on the left, starting where the top petal curls in. Then copy it on the right so both sides match, like two puffy clouds.
Step 4: The bottom petals
Under each side petal, draw one more round bump that swings down and inward. Leave a small gap in the middle for the stem to start.
Step 5: The two eyes
Put two round dots in the middle of the flower, side by side. Color them in so they are nice and dark.
Step 6: The stem
Start at the gap between the bottom petals and make a little pointed tip. Draw two long lines straight down, then close the bottom with a small curve.
Step 7: The two leaves
On each side of the stem, draw a pointed oval like a lemon shape. Make one tip touch the stem and the other tip point out to the side.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a jack-in-the-pulpit flower
- Draw the top petal first and make it a little bigger than you think, so the other four petals have room to tuck in around it.
- Try to make the left and right petals the same size. Draw the left one, then look at it while you draw the right one.
- Draw the stem as two lines that stay close together, and let the leaves touch it so the plant looks connected.
