Step 6: Draw the ribs on the arms.
Step 7: Start making the thorns that look like grass.
Step 8: Cover the entire body with the thorns.
Step 9: Color the plant green.
Kiddos would have a whale of a time sketching the desert plant on canvas. They would be glad to know that the plant can also flower and is an excellent house plant. It is a simple drawing exercise and the sketch need not be perfect due to the surface unevenness and varieties of the plant that are commonly available.
