16 Amazing yet Easy Plant Illustrations

1. Introduction: Hello everyone. Welcome to my Skillshare class. I'm zooming either via an artist and an educator. In this class, I will show you how you can easily draw various illustrations for plants. These illustrations are really easy that even a non-artists can draw these easily. So this class is for artist as well as for non-artists. In these illustrations, I will draw the plant along with the planter. By the end of this class, you will be able to draw this plant illustrations on your own. In the next video, I will tell you the art supplies that I'm going to use in this class. And then there is a fun class project for you that you all have to submit. So let's start. 2. Material Required : For drawing these illustrations, I'm going to use a plain white sheet, a pencil. It is a brush pens and a black pen. You can also use any other colors, such as watercolors, poster colors, acrylics, answered colors, crayons, etc. Modifications are always welcomed. So use the material that you already have and then tried to create these illustrations. 3. Simple Flat Plant: Here I'm using a simple white sheet and uni-ball micro pen as black color. Let us start with our first plant illustration. I'm first trying the plant 0. And for this I'm going to draw two parallel lines and drawing them with a simple curve. Now, making another parallel line that is right, leaving some space from those two parallel lines. This will be the base of our plan TO now, I'll join from here to the base line with a little curved line. You can notice that it is not a straight line. It is a curved line joining this N to the baseline as we did for the first line. Now I'm highlighting the baseline to make it look like it's the shadow of the plateau. Now I will start drawing the plan for this. I'm going to make a line from here. Notice that deadline is also not a straight line. It's a little bit code, a little messy line, not a perfect straight line. Now I'm drawing the leaves around it. One leaves at one side and the other side. We are now done with the drawing part. Let's move on to the coloring part. Far this, I'm willing to use these brush pens. You can also use any other kind of colors. For example, watercolors post two colors, whatever you have for the leaves, I'm going to use light green color. You can also use a green color if you want, but I like light green color for the leaves. That is why I am using light green color only. Now I'm going to use this brown color to color. Now I'm going to use this golden color to color the top of this plateau. If you want, you can use any color for your planters. It says that I like this color, that is why I'm using it. Twice of colors is totally optional for planters. Now, I'm outlining the planter runs at the end with the same black pen that I drew it with. This will help us to get better finishing off our plant illustration. Now the basic plant illustration is ready, but if you want, you can decorate the planter by adding some design to it. For this, I'm going to draw some small dots over the golden area. To make it look more pretty. You can add more designs if you want. So it's ready.

I'm going to make two parallel lines, add some distance and then join these two lines with a curved line. Now from making the base, I'm going to add some more curves to the bottom of this plant. Now I'm making two lines over 90 to make it look like it's end designed to highlight the plateau. Now, for making a plant, I'm going to make two lines like this. You can notice that these two lines are not the exact straight lines. And now I'm making small leaves all over it. These are very easy and simple to draw leaves and you can also use any other kind of leaves if you want to. We're now done with the drawing part. Let's move on to the cultural part for coloring the leaves. I'm going to use light green color. And now also covering the stem of the plant. I'm going to use this dark green color. Now for adding the highlights to the planter, I'm going to use this golden color. You can use any other colors if you're using it, because I like to highlight the plant over the golden color. And now for clearing the rest part of the planter, I'm going to use this diagram. Hi. Now for adding more designs to it, I'm going to use this black pen to make some small dots over the golden. You can use any other design if you want to decorate your planter. So d shell. Now our second panelist station is also ready. We will move to the third value in the next video. 5. Small Stylish Plant: Let us now move on to the third plan. For this. I'm going to draw two parallel lines and trying them with a small curve. Now, making lines from the two ends endanger from the maze, making it look like a small parameter. Now for declination and adding two lines as a highlighter to the client. Now making this one be flying test. And then another nice at an angle with this one like this. Now we can return leaf on the top of these two news.

Now, I'm going to make two lines from both the ends n then join them through the base. Now for the highlights for the planter, I'm going to add two parallel lines. Meg does time vertically. Now as we did earlier, I'm going to make a really big leaf like this and another one like tears. And then one belief from the center of these two leaves. Now I have to make two packs of each leaf back as we did an add this plant, we made a straight line. Having alone makes them curves that well-differentiated back plan illustration from this plant illustration. So this is called, and now all over the leaves. And then I'm also doing some Smarties like that this time. It keeps going. We're now done with the drawing pack. Let's move on. And a half. That is turn left side of the leaf. But each leaf painted on the left side, this light green color. The rest part of the plant. You just have to be a little careful because adding one color to the other. Finally, plant. Now. Now I'm going to talk only the top part of the Planetarium with this yellow color. Now to add color to the rest of the plan, I'm going to use this tab down color. You can use any other calligrapher. One, this is two t of n depends upon this plays and the scene that you are doing these into. Now I'm going to add a highlight to the planter.

I'm adding this goes over so that I can add the backside of this planter. Now adding these two lines over here and then joining them with a little curve at the base. These represents the planter for this plant and making two lines straight out of this planter. These are not exact straight lines. Medea is, these are two parallel lines representing the stem of this plant. Now making this simplest level overdo it. You can notice the steps to make the flower over here. This is really simple. And this is yes, a tulip flower. And now I'm making leaves on both the side of this tulip flower on the stem and now adding these two lines representing it as unleashed, now completing the backside of this planter. So this represents a complete plan. The area that I'm highlighting and shading with the black color represents the inner side of this plant that represents the soil may be. And now I want to color this. I'm going to use this light green color to color the leaves first. I would also colored the stem of this line to it, this light green column. Now focus ring the flat. I'm going to use this light pink color to it. You can use a latent reddish color also that is up to you. My dad, I'm using this light pink, yellow. Now for cluttering the planter, I'm going to use this red color because I really like a tulip flat and a red colored pot. But if you want, you can use any other color as per your choice that so key up to you. I'm just adding the red color to each and every part of this planter and doing nothing more to it. This is a really simple plant illustration for a tulip flower. So adding some shade at the backside also to make it look more realistic. So this is now complete.

For this, I'm going to make this straight length first and then going to join the two ends of this line with the UPC calls below it. This represents the plan total value. Now I'm going to make here two lines to represent the highlighting part of this plant and making this highlighting path, whether it's totally optional for you. Now to make the plant, I'm going to make big, big leaves overview. And then continuing another leaf joined together, then another leaf and similarly on the other side of this big leaf. And we're going to make these two bigger leaves over here like this. And then dividing each leaf with this one line in-between each leaf. And now to start coloring, I'm going to use the golden dustpan first to add the highlighting part of this planter. And now I'm going to use this black color again to complete this highlighting part because this was not very much filled into between the lines. And then we'll move for UDL. Now took another rest of the planter. I'm going to use yellow color. I'm here using the local level, but you can use any color if you want. There is no particular color that you have to use our waste. So remember, you can use any color for the planters and you can also modify the shapes of the planters as per your choice and as per the space in your illustration. But because there are many centuries in which the illustration requires less space on more space to be covered. So that totally depends upon your illustrations. Now to collect the plant, I'm going to use the dark green colonial and going to color, and this side of each leaf, that is the right side of each leaf, there is no hard and fast rule that you have to call that only the right side of the leaf with the dark green, you can use the light green color to color the right side of the leaf and dark green color to color the left side of the leaf. That is totally optional. But I'm using this pattern in this class because I really like the shade of light green color first. And then on the right side adding the dark green color, which symbolizes that this is the darker side and this is the side that is being hidden from the sun. Now took a lead, the left part of each leaf here I'm using the light green color as per my statements. Now to add some designs to the planter handling, to use this black pen, to add some design to it. You can use any other design or any other Kylo to make designs over this planter. Like I am using this black color because this looks really good on yellow column, you can try other combinations to know how the peristyle and out to me on each other head.

Unique Beautiful Planter: Let us now move on to our seventh plant illustration. For this, I'm going to make two straight lines and then join them with little curves at both the ends. Now notice the kind of code that I'm making over hill because this is a really special kind of a planter with a very unique shape. Now I'm making this kind of a base for this. So this is really unique shape for a plan TO. And now I'm making a plant over it which is small spikes over it. Making so many bunches of it to make it look like there are so many small, small bunches in it. Now, for adding colors, I'm going to use this dark green color to add this color in some of these bunches. Not all of these bunches, but only a few of it. I'm also going to add this color to the tip of a few and then leave them to be filled with a light green color, which symbolizes that there is a combination of light green and dark green. Light green symbolizes that the plant is new and is it, and as an IT growing stage. So that is what I want to denote a using the light green color. So now I'm going to use this light drinker to fill the rest of the space of leaves in this plant. Now to add colors to this loss, I'm going to use this light blue color over here to add color over this line in this top part of this planter. And then going to collect the complete base with this and leave some space between these two blue lines. I will use another color for this to make it look that it's a class CNIT glossy kind of service.

Now for the plant, I'm going to make this spike kind of a thing over it to make it look like these are the great leaves of this plant. So these are the leaves and I'm not going to do much in it. D is either leaves representing the complete plant. So make as many leaves as possible for you in this plant. Now for adding colors to this illustration, I'm going to use this light green color to fill and then leaves of this plant. Now to collect the plant are all Islam using the same green Carlo. If you want, you can use any other color. But because I want to make the same kind of a plant and same color planter. That is why I am doing so.

I'm not going to color the whole with the dark green or with the light green. Because I want to show that there are some new leaves and there are some onlys. And this plant is growing and it's growing stays it is, that is why I'm going to use green color more in it. You can read it the proportion of light green and dark green as per your choice. There is no hard and fast rule in this thing. Now, for coloring, I'm using a really different color that is orange, because I like orange planters. That is the only reason for using orange, yellow, you can use any other color if you want. You can use a combination of colors also for making some more designs over it.
