I apply it on top of the grey strokes and shade them. It is time for blending with the white pencil. It’s important not to overdo the drawing the cherry blossoms should stay light. I use the grey pencil to mark the contours of the cherry flowers. I apply hatches with the emerald green pencil to add details. I add the raspberry red color to the peony, accentuating the shadows between the petals. It is time to increase the contrast even more. To create a unified look for the artwork, I also add several hatches to the cherry flowers.
I complete the process of applying strokes with the rosy pencil. The bending parts of the petals are spotlit, so I avoid making them too bright. I continue increasing the contrast with the rosy color. The point is about applying a body of color, not just a single line. It helps me in separating the petals one from another. I add the rosy color, aiming at the dark places of the flower. I create an additional layer of the yellow color on the peony, accenting the upper parts of the petals. I apply the light green color to the leaves and the twig.
I draw the hatches from the core to the petals. With the lilac pencil, I add color to the central parts of the cherry flowers. I use a pencil of the creamy color to cover the peony shape with soft rubbing strokes. I intensified them while editing the scan so you could see them distinctly. The lines that you see in the image below are barely visible in real life. Lines made with a graphite pencil can mix with the color and make it seem dirty. I make a clean copy of my pencil sketch, transferring only general contours with very light lines.įor this step, I recommend using a grey pencil from your colored pencils set, and not a graphite pencil. 3. How to Draw Flowers With Colored Pencils Step 1 Hatching works best for adding details and drawing refined objects or textures. It is very similar to drawing with an ordinary pencil or pen the point of your colored pencil should be sharp. Step 2Īnother excellent method is hatching. This kind of stroke is perfect for smooth textures and a base color layer. The first way you can apply your tool is by making lines with soft rubbing strokes, holding your pencil at an angle. An overlap of tints and shades creates a much more interesting, impressive result than just one color. There are several principles to remember, and one of them is the importance of creating layers of color. 2. How to Apply Pencil Strokes Step 1Ĭolored pencils can help you achieve amazing results. You can leave it as it is now or mark shady areas, as I did for the central part of the peony, separating the petals with shadows. I also add stamens of the cherry blossoms they look like small circles. I add new details, such as a twig line, a couple of leaves, and new flowers. It is also a great trick to diversify our floral composition with a small cherry bud. Step 11Įach cherry flower has five petals, and I add them with pencil lines. The blossoms are facing in slightly different directions moreover, they are organic objects that can’t look equal. It is not necessary to put these circles exactly into the geometrical centers of the flowers. It’s time to mark the central parts of the cherry blossoms. I add several more petals that hide underneath and outline them with a blue pencil.
One more layer of petals, and this time I outline them with red. Then I mark the new group with a lilac pencil. I imagine that the petals arrange themselves around the core of the flower, and add another layer. I add several foreground petals and outline them with yellow. I draw an overlapping petal and a group of several rear petals. I draw a couple of new petals in front of the existing ones and outline them with a red pencil. The option of adding any colors to your sketch is entirely up to you. I also outline them with a blue pencil I will be applying a new color to each new group of petals so you can easily differentiate them. I draw the first central petals of the peony. I outline the core of the peony and fill it with small circles to mark the texture. With a pencil, I sketch an oval shape for the peony and smaller round shapes for the cherry flowers. I outline the composition in a general way. We’ll work without washing the strokes.ġ. How to Make a Pencil Sketch of the Flowers Step 1 My colored pencils are aquarelle, but this feature doesn’t really matter. A graphite pencil (I recommend an HB type).They are a powerful artistic tool, and the great news is that pencils are very simple to use. To draw this beautiful floral composition, we will use colored pencils. In this tutorial, I’ll show you the process of creating a nature-inspired artwork that depicts a peony and cherry blossoms, popular symbols of spring and flourishing.
