Drawings made with a simple pencil always look refined, stylish, and gentle. Similar canvases are sometimes found among the works of famous masters, but you can recreate them yourself. Anyone who is predisposed to this type of art can draw flowers with a pencil . Well, those who have not previously tested their strength in painting can try to use our instructions.
The basis for the picture
First we need a photograph of a plant or a flower in a living form. It’s always easier to draw, because not every person, even endowed with talent, can accurately convey the whole essence of the picture, which is in his thoughts. Nature or photos give a real opportunity to sketch every detail exactly, without missing anything.
Mark the area of the picture
Before you start drawing flowers with a pencil, you need to divide the sheet into zones. Select the place where the bud will be located, outline the area of the stem below. If your plant has leaves, mark them on the sketch. It is worth noting that when applying such preliminary contours, it is important to convey the form of the further drawing. If you intend to depict a lily, then the bud should be elongated, slightly expanded up. If there is a daisy or a rose in the picture, then make this area round or slightly oval. It is clear that the stalk should have an elongated, characteristic shape for it, from the very beginning.
Light but accurate sketch
Now pay attention to your sample: count the number of petals, measure their proportions, determine how far the leaves are from each other. Flowers are drawn with a pencil gradually, so the next step will be the application of the main details on paper. You need to circle each petal, give the stalk its thickness and shape, make the leaves look like themselves, and not like circles. Now look at your sketch from afar, and if it is proportional, the composition itself is not shifted to one side of the sheet, then go to the next step.
Precise work with details
Next, you need to draw flowers in pencil in all details. To do this, carefully draw each petal, each leaf. On them, in turn, streaks, stripes should be visible. Some of them may have an imperfect shape - keep this in mind. Thanks to such details, the picture will look more interesting. After such a study of the details, again look at the sheet from afar. Fix various bugs. Next, go to the finish actions.
Some final touches
To make the work look complete, you need to get rid of all the auxiliary lines. In this case, these are the edges of the petals that hide behind others like themselves. After this, it is necessary to give the picture volume. With the play of light and shadow, even pencil drawings for beginners acquire a lively and believable appearance. It is easy to shade the flowers, just shade the base of the petals, that is, the middle of the bud, and do the same with the leaves. The sketch itself will show you where the dash line should be directed, so there should be no problems with shadows.
In fact, drawings are simply and quickly recreated with a simple pencil. Flowers are the easiest to depict, as they can be drawn from nature. He does not change his position (unlike the person whose portrait can be drawn), so it’s easier for the artist to catch every line, every bend.
