I’m interested in how other people draw flowers, as the flowers that other people draw look how they’re supposed. Like it looks like the real life flower, the flower I draw don’t really look like the real life one. Was wondering if you could give advice about how I could make them look more like the real thing?
"Of course ! I will try my best !"
"Ahem ahem !"
*Muse opens her book, out of which pictures of flowers and real flowers appears. She also gets a pen and start drawing*
Zoom in to see the whole text ! I just realised it's a little small ^^`
"In all, what is important is to understand the shapes and colors of flowers and try to portray them. If you are curious, you can look up why each flowers look the way they do ! Some will mimick insects to attract specific pollinators, while others will just create the most colors they can to be easy spot among the green of fields or forest. Some are turned to the ground, other to the sun. They all have reasons and meaning !"
As a creator, my advice is to study, and yes, trace a bit. Most of the pictures I used here are photos I took myself, and then I traced over it to understand how the flower work. Four petals, over, under, all the little parts, the core, the stem.
And then I redraw without tracing, see if it looks alike, if not, I try to understand what I did wrong and then try drawing it again.
It comes with such training
Have some more watercolors studies I did for school !
