Create a schema

First, the parameters of the flower and pot are determined. Professionals recommend taking a pencil, sitting in one position, and measuring the vertical with the tool at the same distance from the flower. Fix the border with your finger, then transfer these points to paper. The horizontal is measured in the same way and a cross is drawn. How to draw flowers in a pot according to the diagram:

1. Draw the contours of the pot and stem using a ruler if visual symmetry is difficult to maintain.
2. The container itself is slightly cone-shaped. Place 4 points and connect them with lines.
3. Indicate the height of the stem or branch of a flower. It all depends on the type of plant. Draw a thin line.
4. Some flowers have curved stems. Therefore, points at bends are visually marked along the line.
5. Leaves are processed in this way. The crosspieces are erased with an eraser.

Initially, the object is moved so that it is in the center of the sheet, so that there is emptiness at the edges of the image.

Flowers in a vase

Just like bouquets, flowers require focus and more time to complete. But vases are a great way to train the skills of a novice artist. You can place the still life on a postcard or a separate sheet of paper as a gift to a loved one.

We have selected several pictures to sketch for every taste. Strive for beauty with us!

For a beginner to draw flowers, it is better to choose a simple object to redraw.

Rose flower drawing

To depict a rose bud, you will need to be careful, because the flower has a large number of petals.

1. You need to start the image from the very center, sketch a spiral and petals around the entire perimeter similar to the configuration of the heart.
2. Then draw more petals next to each other, then a large number on top, but they are barely noticeable, for this reason they will not be large.
3. Continue drawing, the petals will be very large. Draw sepals at the bottom of the bud. Next, sketch out the stem, as well as the leaves on it.
4. The sides of the rose leaves are not even, so you need to make them with a small zigzag, they should look like real ones.

Shade the entire rose, but you need to do it in a light tone.

Shade the sepals, trunk, and leaves for the rose. The image of an elegant rose flower is ready!

Realism with chiaroscuro

The image will turn out really beautiful when the chiaroscuro is applied correctly. They work with a kneaded eraser. A tool in the form of plasticine takes any shape, so it is easier to brighten small details of the picture. How to draw flowers in a pot realistically:

1. Areas that do not fall into the light zone are darkened with high-hardness pencils. This can be seen on the redrawn object. These places are indicated by short shading, which are placed close to each other.
2. The parts on which the light falls are brightened with an eraser, erasing the excess with light movements. The same actions are done on the stem and pot. The containers are given the most rounded shape.
3. Chiaroscuro is applied not only to large areas by monotonous erasing or shading. You need to lighten the veins and even the texture. This is the only way the drawing will turn out beautiful.

The image is finally adjusted and the background is created. Drawing from life is almost finished. If the flower is on the windowsill, but the artist is not satisfied with this, then you can draw a table on which the shadow of the object will lie. This will enhance the effect. There will be a white background on both sides of the plant, but you should not paint it over with rough black lines, as beginners do - this will spoil the perception of the drawing.

Gladiolus flower drawing

Let's look at how to draw a flower with a pencil gradually, more specifically a bouquet of flowers. There are approximately 250 varieties (163 of which are immigrants from Africa), as well as 5,000 species, they vary in size, color, and color saturation.

This plant is perennial.

1. Draw the largest, front flower. The sides of the petals of this plant are not straight, but wavy. It is necessary to sketch out the largest outer petal, then the 2 lower ones, then the outer ones and the stamens.
2. Next, draw the first gladiolus flower from the bottom. We depict according to the same principle as the first one.
3. Sketch the flowers that are located behind the two main ones.
4. Draw the most central flower, leaves, trunk, and buds.
5. Perhaps shaded a little.
6. A bouquet of gladioli is ready!

If you follow these instructions, you can draw very voluminous and beautiful flowers. A wide variety and pleasant selection of flower images will not leave anyone indifferent.

Drawing details

It is necessary to study the object, and fill the diagram with details that move from large to small. Draw the exact shapes of the stem, leaves and pot, erase unnecessary lines. Asymmetry must not be allowed. Then the veins, texture of the plant and containers are indicated. How to draw a flower in a pot with a pencil step by step and simply:

1. Draw the branch of the element in more detail with veins. If this is a tree, then mark the bark. Everything is done with shading.
2. Leaves and flowers are processed. The bud and petals are outlined.
3. Place paper under your hand so as not to stain the image.
4. The drawn container should be level. At this stage, add a little volume, lightly shading the edges, but you need to start from the incident light on the plant. They mark the ground with curved lines.
5. Special attention is paid to texture. These are small dots, dashes and other particles on an object. We must remember that the foreground is worked out in as much detail as possible, and the background should be a little blurred. Use a piece of cloth to lightly wipe the designated elements, but not too much, otherwise the entire texture created will be smeared.
6. The outline of the image is made more saturated so that the flower in the pot is separated from the white background.

In all areas, the pictures create a light volume, which will make it easier to work on at the next stage of action.
