Baby Groot stole every scene in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and became an instant fan favorite across the Marvel universe. This tutorial walks through how to draw Baby Groot waving, capturing the little sapling in one of his most recognizable moments.
A Tiny Tree with Big Drawing Appeal
This guide breaks down the full drawing into 12 steps, with the last one being the colored result. Baby Groot has a deceptively simple shape, but the bark texture lines running across his body are what really sell the drawing. Getting those organic cracks and grooves placed correctly makes the difference between a stick figure and a living twig creature.
What Makes Baby Groot Look Like Baby Groot
- Oversized head with flat, jagged top
- Large dark eyes with small highlights
- Brown bark texture covering entire body
- Thin twig-like limbs and fingers
- No clothing or accessories
The Guardians roster on SketchOk keeps growing. Rocket Raccoon pairs naturally with any Groot drawing, and Star-Lord rounds things out if you want to build up the team. There is also Baby Groot sitting in a pot for a different take on the character.
Reading the Color-Coded Lines
Every step uses three colors so you always know which lines are new and which ones are already in place:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
