Drawing Flowers Technique and Tip

Whether drawing flowers or a leaf or an entire garden, you as an artist have to be prepared to make a visual statement about the subject with your pencil, pen, brush, paint.

The example below is from my collection of letters used by various Italian printers from 1497 A.D. In the center of the letter D you see blossoms, a popular motif even then.

Get discovered. Submit a piece of your finished artwork and I create a free artist web page just for you here. Follow the guidelines and I can let you know when your page is live.

Practice pencil sketching the following image.

A good exercise for you to try is to draw or sketch several elements within the letter D on separate pieces of paper. Draw each element as perfectly as you can. For example, you could draw the letter itself, the flowers inside the letter, the image outside the letter. Then draw them all together, just as well, on one piece of paper. Keep practicing and you will see improvement each day.
