So today, let’s try to draw a few flowers and please our friends by giving them a masterpiece on paper. And at the same time we learn something new. Agreed?
Divine irises
A symbol of wisdom, trust, hope. Van Gogh himself painted them on his famous canvases. And Claude Monet not only depicted irises in his paintings, but also skillfully decorated his own garden with them.
Enchanting poppies
A symbol of eternal youth and unfading beauty. This beautiful flower grows in Europe and North America, and in some regions of Asia (China and India). A drawing of graceful poppies is a wonderful gift for your mother, grandmother or sister.
Drawing cornflowers
And this blue flower symbolizes spiritual purity, modesty and tenderness. They say that cornflowers have magical powers and protect the house from evil forces.
Important sunflowers
They are a symbol of labor, abundance, and, of course, the Sun - it is in his direction that they always turn their heads. And the sunflower is a symbol of the Motherland. Just as he always reaches out to the Sun, so a person is always with his homeland in mind.
Fragile bells
This is a hint that someone is thinking about You. Therefore, if you want to give a friend a pleasant surprise, draw this particular flower as a sign that you often think about him.
Narcissists
According to the Greeks, they symbolize pride and vanity. But the Japanese consider them a sign of silent beauty and joy.

Mysterious gentian
Symbol of summer warmth. It has long been considered magic potion.

The Lady of Flowers symbolizes passionate love, heavenly perfection and passion. In world symbolism, a golden rose meant perfection, a red rose meant beauty, a white rose meant innocence, and a blue rose meant inaccessibility.

Faded dandelion
Fragile and light, this flower is beautiful even when it loses its freshness and bright yellow color. I just want to blow on it so that its weightless fluff will fly far, far away with the summer wind. Dandelion is a symbol of openness and warmth.
Tiger Lily
A very bright and even slightly predatory tiger lily is a symbol of energy and enthusiasm. Of course - it is sophisticated and at the same time extravagant, and its colors also hint at its extraordinary strength!

In this tutorial we will look at an example of how how to draw a flower with a pencil. After searching the Internet for pictures of flowers drawn in pencil, we decided to take a lily as an example. The gardens grow about 30 different types and many varieties of these. We will draw from this picture: Let's start by drawing a circle in which it will be placed. There will be a stem underneath it. The main stem is leafy, simple or slightly branched at the top. In our example there are only two leaves. I don’t think there should be any difficulties with this, so let’s move on.
How to draw a flower with a pencil step by step
Next, start drawing each petal. Pay attention to their shape, and that these flowers usually have 6 petals. Proceed to drawing the stamens. This is how it should turn out for you: 
Next we move on to the image of Lily in more detail. Let's add spots on the petals. 
Next stage. Erase the auxiliary lines that we made in initial stage and outline the contours of Lily.

How to quickly draw a flower using different techniques.
Draw what you like
The first step is choosing an object. Start with colors you like: it's always easier to paint what inspires you. Gerberas, magnolias or tulips - create a watercolor bouquet to suit your taste.
Determine the shape of the flower
Determine the simple, basic shape of the plant. It can be a cone, bell or triangle. You may want to get started quickly and skip this step. But believe me: this helps a lot and speeds up the process.
By sketching the basic shape with light lines, you will understand the structure of the entire plant.
Advice: The first sketch can be done in a sketchbook. When starting to draw on watercolor paper, do not use a very soft pencil or press too hard. Otherwise, the paper may be damaged and the lines will remain visible after erasing.
Draw leaves correctly
The leaves determine how convincing the image will be. The secret is to not interrupt the line of the main central vein. If it is out of place, the sheet will look unnatural. Start drawing the leaf from the central vein. Imagine that the leaf is transparent and you can only see its edges and veins.
Advice: When drawing, do not erase unnecessary lines immediately. Otherwise, there is a chance to make a mistake again. And if the wrong line remains in front of your eyes, it will be easier to draw the correct one next to it.
To obtain a soft, uniform wash, it must first be moistened with water. This allows the paint to flow naturally before it begins to soak into the paper, and gives extra time for the color to stretch (create a smooth transition from one color to another) and to blot out highlights.
Moisten from the middle and spread water towards the edges. Repeat a couple of times to make sure the paper is well hydrated. In this case, the edges will not dry as quickly. After you have evenly distributed the water, check to see if there are any “puddles” left on the surface of the paper, and if there are any, blot them with a damp brush.
1. Fill a brush with water and wet one leaf or petal. The surface of the paper should acquire a uniform shine.
2. While the paper is wet, apply paint.
3. Apply color to the edges of the design minimum quantity brush passes.
4. Gently stretch the paint to the edges of the element, while aligning the outline.
5. Before the wash dries, you can blot the paint to reveal the illuminated areas and emphasize the shape of the element.
“Color Stretch” Technique
Often you need to use two or more colors on one area. The advantages of this method are that you don’t need to add additional blur and it’s easy to immediately set the desired shape. You can work with any number of colors at the same time.
1. Clean water wet an individual petal or leaf, then apply the first color of paint.
2. While it is still wet, apply a second color of paint next to it.
3. Flatten the tip of the brush and create a transition between colors.
4. Continue until the transition is smooth. Try to work quickly before the paint dries. Avoid unnecessary strokes, otherwise streaks will remain after drying. In the example in the photo, such a stroke is visible on the fold of the petal.
5. Before the paint dries, blot the highlights and outline the veins on each petal. A gradual color change can be used to indicate the direction of light. Draw the rest of the petals in the same way. Work on them one at a time so as not to touch the still wet layer of paint on the adjacent petal, and when they are completely dry, proceed to the missed ones.
“Textured blotting” technique
This is an interesting technique that works well for complex pleated or wavy petals. For example, to simulate folds on the surface of a poppy petal.
1. Moisten the paper in the desired area and apply deep red paint using the wet-on-wet technique.
2. While the paint is still wet, add a dark color to the base of the flower. purple so that it blends in with the red.
3. Using a crumpled paper towel, blot the paint only once.
4. Lift up the towel.
5. Repeat a couple of times, using a clean towel each time to avoid transferring paint from the towel back onto the design.
6. Let dry completely and refine the highlights to create petal folds.
Advice: for the first wash, take it immediately rich colors so that you don’t have to enhance the color later. Dark shades will give a nice, strong contrast of dark and light in the pattern.
In this lesson you will learn how to draw a simple flower with a pencil. There are many different flowers in the world. There are big and small, beautiful and not so beautiful. You and I will draw a simple flower that even a child can master. So you don’t have to worry about the result - everything will work out for you.
But if you want a more difficult lesson, then watch last time. Now take a piece of paper and get started.
Step 1. Draw a circle in the center of a sheet of paper.
Step 2. Inside this circle we will draw another circle.
Step 3. This stage will be a little more difficult. Draw the flower petals around the entire circumference. The petals are approximately the same size as the larger circle. The petals overlap each other. Therefore, to make it easier to draw them, you can resort to the following trick. To begin with, let's draw one row of petals that are located next to each other without intersecting. Then we draw the second row, as if on top of the existing petals.
Step 4. Everything is simple here - draw the stem of a flower. We simply draw a vertical line from the drawing down.
Step 5. Draw semicircles around the inner circle. In the very center of the circle we draw a small circle with uneven contours.
Step 6. We outline the petals so that we get two rows: top and bottom.
Step 7 At this stage, draw a large circle with a pencil, and also draw a thickened stem of the flower.
Step 8 Adding details to our drawing. Afterwards we wash it extra lines and our plant is ready.
Now let's add some color to the drawing. Color the petals yellow, the stem green, and inner part brown and pink. Of course, you can choose the colors for coloring yourself, this is just an example color scheme.
Here we have drawn a simple one, but beautiful flower pencil. And they even painted it.
