Add New Question

• Question

  Are there any tips to help me draw easier besides practicing?

  

  You can make drawing easier by using basic shapes and then adding details. To draw a flower, all you need are some circles and ovals, then you just add the details. Of course, practice is always recommended too.

• Question

  How can I make my flower look realistic?

  

  Use different shades and colors. Try to use inspiration from the flowers you see around you, and don't forget to draw in and color a background.

• Question

  How do you draw and color with shades?

  

  Shading is just adding a darker color to the parts of the object light does not reach, and adding a lighter color to the areas that the light shines on directly.

About This Article

Article Summary X

To draw a basic flower, start by sketching a small circle in the middle of the page to represent the center of the flower. Next, draw a larger circle around the smaller one. Use the bigger circle as a guide to sketch in some petals around the central circle. Depending on what kind of flower you're trying to make, you can make the petals narrow or wide, or experiment with different shapes. To make the flower look more realistic, vary the lengths of the petals a little bit, and make some of them overlap with each other. Next, draw a stem descending from behind the circle, starting at the small, central circle. Sketch in a couple of leaves branching out from the bottom of the stem. To finish up your drawing, add some realistic details, like veins in the leaves and the fluffy texture of the pistils and stamens at the center of the flower. Go over the outlines of your drawing in ink, and erase any unnecessary lines, like the original outer circle that you used as a guide for drawing the petals. If you want, you can color in your flower or add shading when you're done. Once you're comfortable drawing a simple flower, experiment with other types, such as daffodils, roses, or tulips. To learn how to draw sunflowers, roses, and tulips, read the article!
