Learn More About The Potato Drawing
For centuries, the potato has been one of the most important food sources in the world. It is native to the Andres Mountains of South America and is a distant relative of the tomato.
It is thought that the potato was domesticated nearly 2,000 years ago, and it entered European markets during the 1500s. It is also called a tater or spud.
How do you like your potatoes? This versatile vegetable is often served mashed, baked, as French fries, as potato chips, in soups or casseroles, and so much more.
There are over 1,000 different types of potatoes, and some varieties grow wild throughout the Americas.
Did you know? Both the potato and the tomato are part of the nightshade family. This means that their leaves and stems contain a toxin. This is why potato sprouts are cut away before cooking.
Otherwise, a stomach ache, headache, or other symptoms could result. Potatoes are generally not eaten raw, as cooking them destroys much of this chemical compound.

Throughout the years, a number of potato-themed characters have come and gone, often in advertising. Perhaps the most enduring is Mr. Potato Head. The toy was invented in 1949, with plastic parts that were used with a real potato.
Later, a plastic potato body was included. The toy has remained in production for three-quarters of a century, with Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head making famous appearances in films such as Toy Story (1995).
Would you like to draw a smiling potato similar to Mr. Potato Head? This easy, step-by-step cartoon drawing tutorial is here to help. All you will need is a pencil, an eraser, and a sheet of paper.
