Helpful Tips:

Breaking down The Image

As you can see from the sketches, a drawing doesn’t need to be complicated to be good. Simplified minimalist drawings can be very striking. Breaking the image down into small, manageable and simple sections, means the sketch will start to come to life really quickly.

When you are happy with the basic shape of the initial sketch, you can begin to add the more subtle shapes within the flowers.

Looking carefully at how the light affects the tones you can start to create depth and 3-dimensinality in your drawing much more easily. Folds in the leaves and the overlap of petals will help you create depth in the drawing.

Use the shadow and tone to help create the effect. Rubbing, smudging and partial erasure of lines and shadow can help to make the drawing feel more ‘organic’ and dark 3B pencils will help you to make the most of the darker areas of any sketch.

Adding Detail

Final shading can also be done in many ways. Crosshatching the darker areas helps to push them back in the image. Whereas shading in a single direction can help you graduate the darkened areas more easily at times, as well as emphasizing the direction of the light.

Final details can be added with a very sharp pencil if needed. This can be used to draw attention to certain areas, emphasizing what may be very physically small, but important parts of the drawing.

Using different sizes of pencil tip can also help create the texture you will need. Using a rounded worn down pencil tip and then adding small very fine lines on top of it can help in many areas, but is especially effective with petals.

It is one of the tools I use when trying to create more realistic drawings. Different grades of pencil and line size makes creating shape and depth much easier.

Get use to drawing single flowers. Then you can progress to a small group or bouquet. When you have mastered that, start to think about a section of garden. Maybe a specific corner of a garden or field that you really love. Once you have learnt the basics, your imagination is your only limit.
