Dandelion is a wonderful wild flower that can be seen not only in the countryside, but also in city yards and squares. Designers even specially sow dandelion seeds on cottage lawns to create the image of a natural meadow landscape.
Dandelion is widely used in folk medicine to treat diseases of the stomach and intestines. The leaves and stems of the flower are used in cosmetology. In national cuisines of some nations, you can even find recipes for salads, dandelion preserves.
A detailed description of dandelion as a botanical species of its beneficial properties can be found in any drug reference.
We are interested in the question of how to draw a dandelion.
How to teach children to draw this pretty flower? This question is asked by kindergarten teachers and primary school teachers. These phased drawings with detailed explanations will serve as an effective visual aid and talk about how to draw a dandelion with ordinary pencil and paints.
Any drawing begins with a layout. Mark the general light lines where you place the flower. Usually the image fits in the middle of the sheet. Then, using dandelion pictures showing a step-by-step drawing process, just follow our instructions.
We show how to draw a May dandelion blooming in bright yellow. Therefore, we pay great attention to the petals.
First draw the flower head. It should be drawn not by a compass, as in this drawing, but by hand. Mark the line of the stem going from the flower head and determine the places where you will place the leaves.
Now let's start drawing the petals. They grow from the center. It is important to distribute the petals so that movement is visible. They are slightly thinner at the base and slightly expand to the upper end.
Make the flower head “fluffy”. Along the edges, draw additional petals, the tips of which are hidden under the petals drawn earlier. So the flower head gains volume.
Now draw the leaves. First we draw thin lines elongated along, and then detail them: add bends, sharpen the tips, make veins.
The drawing is ready. We color it in two colors: the head is yellow, and the stem and leaves are made green. You can use colored pencils, watercolor or gouache.
How to draw a dandelion with a simple pencil? In this case, the picture of a faded dandelion looks spectacular when, from a light breeze of the breeze, its seeds are carried by small parachute fluffs. Before you start drawing, finely sharpen the pencil so that the line is light, flying, like fluffs of dandelion.
As in the previous case, we draw a basket in the form of a circle. But instead of petals, we depict achenes (a more accurate name for the seeds of this flower). First we draw thin stalk strings, and then we draw the so-called crests.
We draw several separately flying umbrellas – achenes. The drawing is ready.
You can depict a dandelion on a neutral background, against a background of blue sky, mountains, a flowering spring lawn.
