How To Draw Flowers : Lilies Made Easy With A Step By Step Guide

1. Introduction: Hi, my name is Aska. and I make drawing tutorial videos. In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to draw these lilies. I will cover how to draw lilies from two different angles, pluss some buds, each with its own step-by-step guide. So anyone can follow along, we will then put it together and create this drawing. So grab a pen and a drink of your choice and enjoyed the lesson. 2. Supplies: Here's what you need. Any paper, pencil, pen, and an eraser. You don't need any fancy art supplies. Just use anything you have available. If you're Ready, let's get started. 3. Guide: Now we're going to create a guide. This is important to get the balance right. We first need to draw a circle. You can freehand it or use something round like this washi tape. Then draw around it like this. Now we're going to divide into six imagine pizza slices if that helps. This guide is gonna be erased at the end. So it doesn't have to be perfect. And that's the guide done. 4. Stages & Pro Tip: Now I'm going to show you the order of each step. First, we are going to draw three petals here on these three lines. Next, three more petals here on these three lines. Then we're going to do a pistol and staimens in the center. Lastly, we will add the details. A big characteristic of the laziest, the way the petals curve. Now let me show you how the petals flow. All six petals curve outwards so the flow of the petals goes like this. Keep this in mind. It will help you get the right a lily look. 5. The first three petals: So first, we're going to draw three main petals on these three lines. Going along with the flow we talked about before. Draw two curved lines like this. Then make these into petals by adding curved lines. Just like this. Next we're drawing one more here. Start by drawing a curved line like this. Then turn it into a petal with the pointy end again. Looks good so far. 6. Background petals: Now we're drawing three more petals on these three lines. I like starting with this left one. Keeping the flow of the petal in mind again, draw a curved line like this. Then create a petal shape with the pointy end. Now, draw another one on the right side. Don't forget the pointy end. Now the last one we curve differently from this point of view. So it will look a little bit shorter, just like this. 7. Pistil and stamens: Now we're going to add the pistol and statements in the center of the flower. Lilies have one pistil and six stamens, but I'm going to draw four stamens them to keep it simple and effective. I find four to five. It's a nice amount for, an aesthetic, Look, let's start by drawing four lines here, coming out of the middle of the circle. Make them thicker than the rest of the flower. And connect the petal lines, If disconnected, then add little oval shapes on the top of the lines, just like so. That's the basic shape done. In the next step, we will start adding the details in such as veins, shadows, and increases to bring this to life. 8. Depth and detail: In this stage, you are going to add thin short lines to give it depth and detail. Applying less pressure will give you thinner lines even with the same pen. So this is normal pressure. This is less pressure. Now we're going to add details petal by petal. First, draw lines in the middle of the petal like a V-shape. Then add lines around it just like so. A short line from the edge of the petal as well. So a V shape. Then lines around it. Then a short line here. And then repeat the process for the rest of the petals. How did it go? Not too difficult, right. 9. Final touches: Okay, You're almost there. This step is easy. We just add in some dots to each petal. Make sure to add the dots petal by petal to get a nice balance. Simply add dots near the center of the flower, make larger dots close to the center. and smaller dots spreading over the petals. And repeat this process for the rest of the flower. It's just a few dots, so have fun with it. And that's it. Erase the pencil lines and you've done it. You've drawn a lily. Well done. Now I'm going to show you another version, it's more like the side profile of a lily. The stages are simple again, so anyone can follow it. 10. Second Guide : Let's start with a new guide. Draw a circle. Then add two horizontal lines on the top and the bottom. Then draw a vertical line straight through the middle stopping in here. This is the center of the flower and it's a little bit lower than the center of the circle. Then draw two lines from where the horizontal line and the circle meet. Now two curved lines here and here. And one more on a slight angle. Again, this doesn't have to be a perfect guide. It gets erased later anyway. 11. Starting your second lily: So first we're going to draw the main three petals on these three lines, starting with the front petal here. We then have three more petals behind on these three lines. After that, the stamens in the center. And lastly, we can add the details. So let's get started. So first we're going to draw the front petal here. As this lily is at a different angle. The petal looks shorter. Start with this V shape in the center. Then draw these two curved lines. And then at this point. 12. Adding two more petals: Now we're going to draw two petals here. Start by drawing a curved line from this point. And then another one from this point. Next, create petal shapes like before, with the pointy ends connecting to the front petal. That's the main three petals done. 13. Background petals: Next, we're drawing three more petals on the three lines. Let's start with the left one. Draw a short line here, and another one to the end of the guide. Next, add a curved line like so. It's a petal done. Now let's draw the one on the right. It's just a curved line to the end of the guide. Then turn into a petal shape using a line like this. Make sure these two petals are both pointing down. Next is the petal at the back. This petal doesn't have a pointy end as it's curved behind itself. Make it flat like this. In the next step, we're drawing the center of the flower. 14. Stamen lines: This step, It's just like the first lily. Draw four lines and make them thicker than the rest of the flower. Then add small ovals on the ends. And That's another lily shape done. 15. Second lily details: Now let's add the details. It's just like the first lily Start with thin lines around the center of the flower. A short line at the end. And repeat. Lastly, add some dots. It's done. Well done, you've done it. Now, you can draw two slightly different versions of a lily. In the next section, I'll quickly show you how to draw lily buds. 16. Buds: The grand for this is simple. It's just the line with an oval. That's it. Now to turn this into a boat, you need three steps. Step one, draw two lines at the base here. Not an oval on the top, with an extra line like this. Step to simply add some lines from the top and some from the base. Don't overdo it. Just a fee would do. Step three. Now, other small leaf to the base of this board. Gesture or thin leaf shaped like so. Then add some lines all the way through. Erase the guide. And now you're ready to turn everything into a beautiful illustration. 17. Application: Now that you've made it through three sets of tutorials here already to put them all together to draw this. As always, we're going to start with the guys. Simply skipped circles where you want the flowers to be. Cure all stem lines and connect them to the flowers. And place your boss and leaves and add the rest of the guidelines. Now, let's start the actual flowers. When you're happy with the sketch, we can start to outline the whole thing with a pen. We're not in the details to the leaves are extra lines at the tip of the leaf to give it more depth. All these details bring the illustration, life and each dawn. Well done for making it to the end. Now you can draw these perfectly with some practice. Thanks for following along with me. I hope you enjoyed it. See you next one.
