Materials Required
Before we start drawing, let’s gather the materials required for this drawing. Here’s the list:
- A pencil
- A sheet of paper
- An eraser
- A black pen
- Color pencils or markers (optional)
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Sketch the Basic Shape of The Flower
To begin drawing the cute flower, let’s start by sketching the basic shape of the flower. You can create any type of flower shape you like with a pencil, but in this guide, we’ll draw a round shape flower. Draw a small circle in the center of the paper, which will be the center of the flower.
Step 2: Add Petals
In this step, we’ll add petals to the flower. You can draw as many petals and shapes you want, but for this guide, let’s draw six circular petals around the center circle. Make sure that each petal is evenly spaced and has a uniform size.
Step 3: Outline the Flower with Pen
Now that we have the basic shape of the flower, let’s outline it with a black pen. This will give the flower a defined and polished appearance. Go slowly and carefully around the edges with the pen to ensure that all lines connect to each other.
Step 4: Erase Pencil Lines
After outlining the flower with the pen, the pencil lines will be visible. Use an eraser to remove all the pencil lines.
Step 5: Draw Inner Details
In this step, we will add the inner details of the flower. Draw small lines or curves in the center to show the texture and depth of the flower. You can also add dots or small circles around the center.
Step 6: Add Leaves
Now let’s add leaves to the flower. Draw two small oval shapes on opposite sides of the flower. Make sure that each leaf in the same size and shape, or they can be slightly different.
Step 7: Outline the Leaves with Pen
Outline the leaves with a black pen. Go slowly and carefully around the edges with the pen to ensure that all lines connect to each other.
Step 8: Erase Pencil Lines
After outlining the leaves with the pen, the pencil lines will be visible. Use an eraser to remove all the pencil lines.
Step 9: Coloring (Optional)
To add some color to the drawing, use color pencils or markers to fill in the petals and leaves. You can be creative and use any color combination you want.
Step 10: Shade and Highlight (Optional)
If you want to add more detail and depth to the drawing, use a pencil to shade and highlight the petals and leaves. Shading will create a three-dimensional effect and give the drawing a more lifelike appearance. Add darker shades to the areas where the petals or leaves overlap.
