It can be challenging to get the angle looking correct when drawing flowers, to make them look as if they are facing a certain way!

In this lesson I'll show you how to understand and draw the conical shape of a flower when it is facing to the side or any other direction. If you want to transform your flowers from looking like cartoons to something much more realistic, this class will help!

We'll spend part of the class learning how to draw simple flower shapes at different angles, to understand how they become distorted from a particular viewpoint.

I'll also go over how to draw leaves using a photo reference.

Finally we'll draw two quick sketches of daisies and poppies. If you are just starting out, this part might be a bit quick but it's just to show how you can use what we've learnt in the class to draw realistic looking flowers. Feel free to spend more time working on your flower drawings after the class has finished!

You'll learn:

• how to draw the basicshapes of flowers facing different directions
• how to draw folded leaves
• how to use simple shapes for quick flower sketches
