Materials: In this class, we will be using simple materials to create beautiful line drawings of flowers. You don't need any fancy or expensive supplies. A few basic tools. First, you need paper. Any paper will do, but I recommend using a smooth white paper that is at least has the size of A5 paper. You can use printer paper, sketchbook paper, or even watercolor paper. Next, you need a pencil. Any pencil you have will work. Here is mine You also need an eraser. Just any eraser you have at home. Then the pens from Micon or Micron. Or you actually can use any character pens you have. As I have another brand here, and I use both of these brands. And these sizes of light I often use in my work.

So let's commit to taking our time every day for the next seven days and see where this journey takes us. I can't wait to see your progress and your beautiful line drawings. Let's get started. 5. Techniques: In this lesson, we will be talking about the techniques that we will be using to create beautiful line art of flowers. One of the techniques we will be using is called Broken hatching. This technique involves using short, broken lines to create texture and depth. By varying the length and direction of the lines, we can create illusion of shadows and highlights on our flower. Another technique we will be using a stippling. Stippling is the use of dots to create texture and value by varying the size, spacing, and density of the dots, we can create a range of tons and values of our flower. To create a beautiful line drawing of flowers we will be combining the two techniques by using Broken hatching to create texture and stippling to add value, we can create a realistic and beautiful rendering of any flower. So let's get started and learn how to use the techniques to create stunning line art of flowers. 6. Observation: Observation is one of the most important skills you can have that as an artist. This lesson, I'll show you how you can observe a flower with reference to create a more accurate and detailed drawing. First, find a reference image of flower that you want to draw. It can be from a photograph or a real flower in front of you. Next, take a few minutes to study the flower. Shapes, lines, and textures that make up the flower. Pay attention to the details like the pedals stem and leaves. Once, you have a good understanding of the flower. Try to sketch it out largely using basic shapes like circles and triangles. This will help you get the proportions right before you add in the details. Here you start to add details. Keep looking back your reference image to make sure you are capturing the right shapes and lines. Pay attention to the way the petals overlap. The texture of the leaves and the curve of the stem. Remember to take your time to be patient with yourself. The more you practice, the better you get at observing and drawing what you see. So take a moment to find a reference image or flower you want to draw. And let's get started. 7. Day 1 : DAISY: Welcome to day one of our 7-day flower drawing class. Today we will be starting with the beautiful and dedicate daisy I'm excited to show you how to create a stunning , line art of this flower using the techniques we've covered in the previous lesson. By the end of this lesson, you will have a good grasp of the basic shapes, forms, and techniques used to create a realistic daisy. So let's get started. So this is the reference photo of Daisy that I have chosen for this lesson. Before we begin, it's important to take time to observe our reference photo. So you can see this daisy has a circular shape and nearly straight stem with the center also is a circular form. So to start, let's draw circle in the center of our paper. Don't worry about making it perfect. Next, we'll divide our circle into smaller species by following along with me. This step will help us create a better representation of the daisy Now, let's add the petals. Start from the outside of the small circle in the center and draw the first layer of the pedals Pay attention to the pedals that overlap. At more pedals. unnder the first layers, you can use the reference photo to add more variation to the second layers of petals. After finishing the pedals we can add the stem and the shape of the leaves. I use this pen 03 for the outline of the artwork. And they medium 01 for all details ink the pistil using small curves for the outline and stippling method to add details. Remember that the light source comes from the top left. As I actually use the top-left light for all my artworks. So we use fewer dots on that side of the pistil. Take your time for this step and feel free to pause the lesson as you work on your own drawing. We use the stippling method to add tails to the stem And the medium 01, we will use the broken hatching method and add more detail to the petals, starting with the lies that are often seen on the petals in the photos. And then add more lines to create shadow and value. And broken hatching method for the leafs. Follow along with me as we add these finishing touches to our daisy. I'm adding the shadow and value to the leaves like this. With the leaves, I often use different style and it really depends on the artwork. So for this daisy, I chose this style, for this type of leaves. Here is my final Daisy and am so excited to see your final daisy too remember that you can also download the guide from the class resources in the project section. Let's go to the next lesson. We're going to draw a rose. 8. Day 2: ROSE: Welcome back to our line art drawing class. Yesterday we drew a beautiful daisy using techniques we've been learning. Today we're going to take up a notch and draw a rose. Roses are known for their intricate details and unique petal shapes, making them a perfect subject for practicing our line art skills. So wrap your paper and pencils. And let's get started on drawing a beautiful rose. Here is the reference photo. I have chosen for you in this lesson I printed this rose on paper so we can see it better. We'll be using Micron pens in medium-size 03 and 01 for this lesson. Remember, you can always download the PDF guide from the class resources in the project section. Before we start sketching the rows Take some time to observe the reference photo. With this particular rose We can draw from the inside out, The inside of the rose hair and oval shape. So the first step is to draw the oval Next, draw the pedal starting from the half of the rose You can draw your own versions of the petals. as it doesn't have to look exactly like in the reference photo. I continue adding more details until the rose has all the pedals as in the reference. Now, add the stem and leaves it's time to ink the drawing. I’m using a medium pen 03 to ink the outline of this rose.. Oh, here I just realized I haven't finished this petal. So I'm gonna use my pencil to sketch first. And, actually it is hard to see how it looks even in the reference photo. so I think I just go with my version After finishing the outline, use the pen 03 to ink the remaining parts of the rose and then erase all the pencil lines. To add more details to the pedals switch to a smaller size, 01 and use the broken hatching methods. Start from the inside out. Remember to add more shadow where the light can't touch. Okay. Hi. Hey. Finally use the broker HE method to add details. Adding lines along the veins. Here is the final result of this rose drawing I hope you enjoyed this lesson and learned a lot from it. Tomorrow we will learn to draw tulips. 9. Day 3 : TULIPS: Welcome back. Today we'll be exploring the beauty of tulips. Tulips are known for their unique shape and vibrant colors, making them a popular choice among artists. In this lesson, we'll be focusing on the techniques we've learned so far and using them to create a stunning tulip drawing So let get started and take our art skill to the next level. In this lesson, we will learn how to draw our 2 tulips from the reference photo, and this photo is from Pinterest. However, feel free to draw all three if you wish. Before we begin, take a moment to observe the subjects and familiarize yourself with the shapes, and details. Let's start with the taller tulips As you can see from the reference photo, it has a unique shape that we aim to replicate in our drawing. Make sure you draw the petals that overlap firs, then add the petals that are behind. These will create depth and make your drawing look more realistic. Moving on the shorter tulip Begin with the leaf off the first one The form of this tulip resembles a rectangle with rounded corners. So draw a rectangle and add the rounded corners. Start with the pedal at the top left corner, or the overlapping petals first, depending on what's easier for you. I'll be drawing the three pedals behind first, then the remaining pedals Here's a small pedal that you can choose to draw. or skip Finally, add the stem and leaves. From today's lesson, I'll be using my medium pen 05 for the outline. Since my 03 pen's ink has run out. For the details, I will still be using my 01 pen. Now it's time to start inking And I usually begin by outlining my drawing first. Tulips have veins on the petals. So I like to mark those veins with my pencil before inking. This helps make the details in the pedals easier to think. Following the natural curves of the pedals, When inking details on the tulips pedals, it's important to keep in mind the direction of the lines and the variations in techniques The lines should follow the shapes and curves of the pedals and thicker lines can be used to create shadows and depth. It's also important to pay attention to the veins of the pedals and include them in the inking. Using a fine pen such as 01 or smaller can help create more dedicate details. Additionally, it's important to have steady hand and take your time to ensure that the inking is neat and precise. It's also important to keep in mind light source, and add shadows where necessary to create depth and dimensionality in drawing. Another technique we can use for the stem, is a combination of broken hatching as stippling. This will create an interesting texture that you might want to try. To do this, start by adding some broken hatching to create the basic shapes and shading of the stem. Then then use stippling to add more depth and texture. You can experiment with different levels of density and spacing to create different effects. Be sure to follow the natural curves and lines of the stem as you add the details. Do the same with the second stem. To make our tulip drawing look clean and elegant, we use the broken hatching method for the leaves, but we also add some additional lines to give the drawing polished finish. That's it for today's lesson on drawing tulips. I hope you enjoyed it and found it helpful. Remember to take your time when you're drawing and observe your subjects closely before starting. Try different techniques and methods to find what works best for you. Practice is the key to enrolling your skills. So don't be afraid to make mistakes and keep trying. Don't forget to share your drawings with us in the class project section. I can't wait to see your beautiful creations. See you tomorrow. 10. Day 4: SUNFLOWERS : Welcome back. Today we're going to draw one of the most cheerful and vibrant flower the sun flower, with this bright yellow petals and distinctive center, the sunflower is the beautiful subject to draw. In this lesson, we will continue to build on the techniques we've learned in the previous lessons and apply them to create a stunning sunflower drawing. So let's get started. In this lesson, we will be drawing a sunflower using the reference photo from unsplash.com. Before we begin, let's take a moment to observe our subjects Sunflowers have a similar shape to daisy but with a larger center and shorter pedals To start drawing, we will begin with with the center of the sunflower. Let's draw three circles to form the center. Remember to take this time to make sure your circle are evenly spaced sized Now, it's time to draw the petals of the sunflower. And we'll start with the first layer. There are no strict rules here, so feel free to choose any better you like is your starting point. Remember your drawing doesn't need to look exactly like the reference photo. Personally, I find these particular pedal appealing. So I'll begin by drawing it. Let's move on the petals on the second layer of the sunflower. You can draw them based on the reference photo or create your own unique version Don't be afraid to experiment to make your flower stand out. The many overlapping pedals of the sunflower make it a challenging subject to draw. to achieve the desired level of detail, it is crucial to maintain a high focus throughout. To complete the sunflower, we need to add a third layer of petals. This layer. This layer is usually smaller and more delicate and it fills the empty spaces between the previous layers. You can refer to the reference photo for guidance, or you can create your own version of the sunflower. Don't be afraid to experiment and make it unique. And now it's time to add the stem to your sunflower and erase any unnecessary pencil lines. This will give your drawing a clearer look before you start inking. Now it's time to ink our sunflower. As usual, I'll be using my 05 pen to outline the flower. However, this time, we're going to start with the center Before that, let me show you the technique I'll be using to ink the center. Let's look at the screen. To ink the center of the sunflower. We use a circular pattern technique. This involves making small circular strokes with our pen to create texture effect That's mimics the natural patterns of the center. So now I'm going to apply the technique to the center. First. I fill the outline of the center using circular pattern then I move inward to fill the rest of the center, For small center of the sunflower. We'll be using a technique similar to broken hatching, but instead of small straight lines, we will we will be using a series a series of lines that resemble rose thorns as you see on screen. And I use my 01 pen now. Now it's time to outline the entire sunflower using my pen As you may have noticed the petals of the sunflower have some lines or veins on them. So to make inking process smoother and faster, I like to use a pencil to mark out the lines first. Now apply the same technique as we did with the daisy's petals and add line details to the sunflower's petals Be sure to pay attention to the overlapping petals and areas where the light hits to create a more realistic look. We'll be using a broken hatching method for stem Since the stem is quite large, I believe that this method will be a fast and effective way to capture its details When shading the stem of the sunflower using the broken hatching method Here are a few things to keep in mind. First, pay attention to the direction of the hatching lines They should follow the shape of the stem Start with the line strokes and gradually increase the pressure to create a gradient effect. Try to vary the thickness of the lines and the spacing between them to add texture and dimension, Remember to leave some areas unshaded to create contrast and highlights to the areas where the light hits the stem. Finally, make sure to maintain a consistent pressure and angle throughout the shading process to ensure a cohesive and polished look. Great job everyone! I hope you enjoyed drawing this beautiful . sunflower with me today. Remember every sunflower is unique. So don't worry if your drawing doesn't look exactly like the reference photo. The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the process of creating something with your own hands. Thank you for joining me today and I can't wait to see your beautiful sunflower drawing! 11. Day 5: HYDRANGEA: Welcome to day 5 of our drawing class. Today we will be learning how to draw beautiful and intricate hydrangea Hydrangea are known for their voluminous blooms. And we will be focusing on capturing the unique shape, and texture though the techniques we've learned so far in this class By the end of this lesson, you will have a gorgeous piece of artwork and deeper understanding of the techniques and skills needed to draw complex flowers. So let's get started and create something truly stunning. Today we will, today we'll be drawing a hydrangea. Although it may appear complex at first glance. With closer observation, you notice that is's composed of several simple and basic flowers that are quite easy to draw. So before we begin, take some time to examine the hydrangea closely. We'll start by drawing the larger circle and then move on the smaller ones that are made up of the tiny flowers. As wee add big circle to our drawing. It's important to consider how big we want our flowers to appear on the page. Additionally, we may want to decide if we want to include the stem in our drawing or not. While drawing the small flowers is not necessary to replicate the exact look of the reference photo. As it can be quite challenging and requires a high level of focus. Instead, we can simply draw some flowers that catch our eye and then come up with our own version to fill in the rest of the space. For me, I like to use the reference photo as a guide and draw the flowers that I find most appealing before filling the remaining space with my own variations. In this step, we will focus on drawing the small flowers within, within the circles we have created We can start with the flowers we have chosen to draw based on the reference photo. It is important to pay attention to the overlapping flowers. And remember that we don't need to copy the reference photo exactly To ensure that our drawing is clear and easy to see. We will be inking while sketching However, it's important to be sure that you don't need to make any corrections before starting the inking process. Keep adding more flowers to your drawing until all the small circles are filled Remember that hydrangeas have lots of intricate details. So it's important to be patient and take your time. Don't rush or feel overwhelmed. Feel free to finish the drawing at your own pace in your own space. To complete the drawing, you can add some leaves to make it more interesting. You can choose to add as many or as little as you like. Remember to observe there reference photo for the shapes and sizes of the leaves. Don't feel like you have to coppy exactly. I attempted to include this stem in my drawing, but ultimately decided to exclude it as I felt that the drawing appeared, more harmonious without it. Now that we have finished sketching our flower, we can proceed to the inking process. To add more details to our drawing we'll begin by adding shadows where the light cannot reach. To do this, I'll be using my 05 pen to add shading to those areas. This will help to create a sense of depth in your drawing. After completing the shading of the dark areas, I switch to my 01 pen and begin inking the tiny flowers. I use the broken hatching method and add basic lines to the petals. It's important to pay attention to the overlapping flowers and remember to add more shadow to show the overlap. Don't be afraid to adjust your papers position as you work on shading Sometimes changing the angle or orientation of your paper can make it easier to add shadow to certain areas. I know this step can be time consuming and require a loss of effort as we have many tiny flowers to. However, I promise that all your hard work will pay off in the end. So take your time to focus and be patient while completing this step Now, it's time to add details to the leaves. These leaves resemble rose leaves, but I'll be using a different style for them. I'll be adding lines along the veins of the leaves using the broken hatching technique. Repeat this for all the leaves as well. Remember to add more shadow to show the overlap between the leaves and the flowers. Lastly, refine the outline of your drawing I often do this because it makes my drawing more stunning. Great job, everyone! We have completed our lesson. on drawing a Hydrangea I hope you found this lesson helpful and enjoyed the process of creating beautiful flower. Remember drawing takes practice and patience so don't be discouraged if your first attempt doesn't turn out perfectly, Keep practicing and you will continue to improve your skills. Thanks for joining me and I look forward to seeing you in our next lesson. 12. Day 6: LILIES: Welcome to day 6! Today we will be focusing on drawing lilies, a dedicate and elegant flower that has been a popular subjects for artists throughout history. Especially we will be drawing 3 lilies together, in a composition or actually it is a branch of Lily, which will allow it to practice creating depth and balance in our artwork. By the end of this lesson, you will have gained the skills to confidently draw this beautiful flowers. In the photo, this lily has, three flowers with the composition made up of ovals and circles. To draw these flowers, we'll start by sketching out their shapes It's important to note that the circle shape is behind the ovals So we don't need to draw the full circle. Don't worry about making the shapes perfect. at this stage. To draw this lily flowers, we will use the shapes we identified earlier, but we will start with the circle shape And drawing a small circle in the center. From this central circle, we will draw 5 lines that will make up the petals of the flower It's okay if your sketch isn't perfect, as we can refine it later, we will draw the pedals our first flower. You can choose which pedal to start with. Just try to replicate what you see in the reference photo without worrying about making it look exactly the same. Moving on the second flower, we can see the sepall in the reference photo. So we'll start with that. First, we'll sketch the lines for the pedals and then draw the petals based on those lines. I personally like to erase unnecessary lies from the first flower before drawing the petals of the second flower. This helps me see my drawing better, but you can erase any unnecessary lines whenever you want. It just the way I do it to make my drawing easier to see. We start drawing the petals of the second flower the same way we drew the pedals of the first one. For the third flower we also begin with the sepal and then draw the lines that make up of the pedals. You can see the stem comes from the sepal of the first flower. So we will draw the visible part of the sepal and then move on to the stem After that, we can add some leaves and other small details such as the filaments and anthers for each flower. Moving on, we will ink the flowers using broken hatching method. First, we will use 05 pen to outline our drawing and then we will add details with the 01 pen. Lily flowers have a distinct depth at their center and it's crucial to capture that depth while still maintaining the elegant look. I struggled with this at first, but with practice, we can improve our skills To make inking easier. Don't hesitate to rotate your paper. Pay close attention to overlapping areas and use more lines to capture the shadows. When it comes to inking the anthers and filaments, feel free to choose a style that suits your preference. For me. I use doodle lines for the anthers and the broken hatching methods for the filaments Keep adding details to the petals until you're satisfied. In final step, use the broken hatching method to add details to the stem Paying attention to the areas with more shadows To draw the leaves of the lily start by sketching some lines and then add more detailed lines along the leaves. Before finishing, I like to refine the outline of my drawings to make it look stunning. In conclusion, I hope you enjoyed this lesson of drawing a Lily Remember, practice makes perfect and with patient and dedication, you can improve your skills. Don't forget to pay attention to details and capture the depth of the lily. Keep practicing and I can wait to see yours stunning Lily drawings to you in the next lesson. 13. Day 7: POPPIES: Welcome to day 7 of our drawing class. Today we will be learning how to draw poppies Poppies are beautiful and vibrant flowers that are often associated with remembrance and appreciation. In this lesson, we will be using all the techniques that we learned in the previous days to create a stunning and realistic poppy We'll pay special attention to the texture and shading off the flower. And by the end of the lesson, you have a beautiful poppy drawing to add to your collection. So let's get started and discover how to create a beautiful poppy drawing step-by-step. In this lesson, we'll be using different pens sizes for different purposes. We'll use 05 pen for the outline. 01 pen for the details and 003 for the hair or fuzz of the stem the zero-zero three pen is the perfect size for capturing the hair on the stem As with previous lessons, it's important to take time to observe your subject and pay attention to its details before beginning to sketch. This will help you capture the essence of the poppy and make your drawing more accurate. We will begin by drawing those poppies, starting with their basic shapes and stems as seen in the reference photo. For the first Poppy, we will draw its pedals which are easy to replicate based on the reference photo. Moving on the second Poppy, we will start by drawing the longest better from the oposite side of the flower and then continue with the other pedals. We will also give the center pistil a basic shape for easier drawing later on. Since the reference photo doesn't clearly show the pistil we will draw the immature seespod of the poppy and the stamens around it Feel free to draw along with me if you'd like. Now it's time to ink. our poppy drawing. We will be using the 05 pen to outline our drawing. As may already be familiar with the technique and my way of working since this is our last drawing lesson. After that, I'll switch to the 01 pen to add details, starting with the seedpod using broken hatching method. The poppies pedals have texture, so I'll use my pencil to sketch out those lines on the pedals first and then use the 01 pen for inking. When adding details. to the poppy petals, It's important to pay attention to the overlapping pedals and shadows where the light cannot reach. Use the broken hatching method. And add lines along the veins of the pedals. You can also rotate the paper to make it easier to ink certain areas. It's important to feel comfortable and relaxed. while inking and to add enough lines to achieve the elegant look without overworking it. For the stem we'll use the stippling technique and add more dots where there's more shadow on the stem. Moving on the fuzz or hair of this stem We will switch to the 003 pen, Although is maybe difficult to see the hairs on my drawing. I just draw lines that come from the stem and make sure not to apply too much pressure. As in previous lessons, I often redraw the outline of my drawing at the end to give it a stunning look. Congratulations on completing this lesson on drawing poppies, as well as the last drawing lesson! I hope you enjoyed the process of sketching and inking these beautiful flowers.
