Drawing a flower can be a beautiful and relaxing experience. With some simple steps and practice, you can create a lovely and realistic flower drawing. In this tutorial, we’ll break down the process of how to draw a flower into easy-to-follow steps. Let’s get started!
Materials Required
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Drawing paper
- Reference picture of a flower
Step 1: Draw the Basic Shapes
Start by drawing the basic shapes of the flower. Draw a circle for the center of the flower, and add small ovals around it for the petals.
Step 2: Refine the Shapes
Next, refine the basic shapes by adding more details. Draw the stems and leaves by following the curves of the petals. Make sure that the leaves are jagged and uneven to reflect the natural look of a flower.
Step 3: Sketch the Details
Now it’s time to add the details to the flower drawing. Sketch the veins on the leaves and add more detail to the petals. Pay attention to the curves of the petals and add more depth to make them look more realistic.
Step 4: Add Shading and Texture
Finally, add shading and texture to your drawing to give it a realistic look. Shade in the areas where shadows would naturally fall, such as under the petals and leaves. Add texture to the flower by using short, curved lines to show the direction of the petals.
Step 5: Final Touches
Once you’ve completed the shading and texture, take a step back and look at your drawing as a whole. Make any necessary adjustments and add any final touches that you feel are necessary.
