Here’s a photo of the plant that I was drawing from.

I used my HB graphite pencil for a quick light sketch of the monstera plant.

I chose three colors – Dark Naples Ochre 184, Earth Green Yellowish 168 and Juniper Green 165 for my base layer of colors for the leaves.

Continue to color the leaves.

I colored the plastic pot with various shades of blues and greys and finished the leaves with some Deep Cobalt Green 158 and Pine Green 267. I used Raw Umber 180 for the potting soil and finished the window sill with Warm Grey II 271 and Warm Grey V 274.

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and choose the amazing variety of shades of the Faber-Castell Polychromos Color Pencils to draw your houseplants.
