This is a roundup post for those looking for interesting flower drawing ideas in one place. We’ll learn to draw virtually all known flowers using graphite pencils in a few years. That means I’ll keep updating this post frequently with new drawing tutorials.
So, it would be helpful for you to bookmark this post for future reference so you don’t miss any of the updates.
How to Draw Different Types of Flowers Easily
Roses
If you’ve been looking for an easy guide to help you learn how to draw a rose, then you need to read this post! To get the most out of it, grab your range of graphite pencils, a piece of paper, an eraser, and a blending stump, and follow along!
I have outlined seven easy steps to guarantee that even a 7-year-old can follow along and draw a realistic rose without sweating it out.
However, don’t feel bad if your final piece doesn’t look exactly like mine. With time and practice, you’ll be so much better at it, I promise.
Cherry Blossoms – Sakura
Cherry blossoms, or Sakura, are some of the most gorgeous flowers celebrated for their beauty. These blooms are prized for their delicate, white or pink, short-lived flowers.
Talk of scarcity adding value.
Because they bloom for only a short period of time, they teach us a very important lesson: the fleeting nature of life.
As artists, we need to appreciate the background story behind our subjects. Otherwise, why does it even matter?
Enough said.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to draw them.
Orchids
In my experience, drawing an orchid realistically requires understanding its morphology. Besides, you’ll be able to focus on specific parts rather than the whole, making the whole process less daunting, especially if you’re a beginner.
Again, I’m not asking you to become a botanist. You just need to learn to look at one aspect of the flower at a time, draw that, and move to the next.
This post is about drawing a moth orchid, which is pretty standard in most households. These orchids have two lateral petals (left and right) that are almost identical, a dorsal sepal (top), two lateral sepals (bottom left and right), and a mid-section comprising the column and labellum or lip, Etc.
In other words, representative drawing requires a clear understanding of the subject or its reference photo.
Conclusion
It’s my goal to make tutorials for drawing any flower imaginable. While it’s nice to do it all alone, I recognize the drawbacks of not involving other artists.
Therefore, this is an excellent opportunity for you to share your ideas on drawing different types of flowers as long as they haven’t already been covered here.
I’ll also do my best to update this guide with your creatives.
