Draw four long cylinders for the bamboo poles. Draw them straight or bent; it's up to you. -

Draw the bamboo culms (or stems). To do so, draw four small cylindrical shapes and place them measurably apart, dividing the bamboo pole into five equal parts. -
Repeat the previous step. This time, draw smaller cylindrical shapes on the skinnier bamboo poles. -
Draw the leaves. Draw the leaves of the bamboo by drawing leaves into the shape of a fan. Then draw the leaves by spreading them on the bamboo poles. Make sure that the leaves appear to be behind the poles. -
Draw leaves in front of the poles. -
Outline your artwork. Outline by inking over your penciled drawing and erasing your pencil marks to clean up your drawing. -
Color your bamboo artwork and you’re done. Color it by using different variations of green such as yellow-green and forest green.
