It’s the perfect time of year to make the most beautiful art – a lily flower! There’s something so magical about the way lily flowers transform from just an outline to something so full of grace and delicacy. With just a few simple steps, you too can create a lily flower that’s sure to take everyone’s breath away!
Start With A Sketch
Before you start drawing, it’s important to have a plan. This is why it’s important to draw your lily flower design first. You can start with a light pencil sketch that outlines the flower’s petals. Be sure to switch up the shapes and sizes of the petals a bit to give your flower some extra personality!
Once you’re happy with the sketch, it’s time to start your masterpiece. Using either colored pencils or markers, start coloring in your flower. Remember to keep it light at first and then you can add more layers and darker colors as you go.
Create Dimension
To really make the flower pop, you’ll need to add a few of your own touches. Adding subtle shadows will give the flower dimension and create some contrast. Start off with a light pencil and then go over it with a darker color. This will help to give the flower a more realistic vibe.
At the same time, don’t forget about the added details that make a flower unique. Add a few freckles to your flower’s petals, or draw in some lines to recreate the patterns in the petals. Little details like this will take your artwork to the next level.
Highlight To Finish
Your lily flower is almost finished! Now you need to make it stand out by adding some sparkle. Once you’ve finished the details of your flower, put a few drops of white or gold glitter to the center of the flower. This will help it to shine and look extra special.
You can also use a silver or gold paint pen to draw in a few lines in the petals. This will help to break up the colors and give the flower a more ethereal feel. Just go lightly and make sure the lines aren’t too thick.
Frame It!
The last step is to frame your creation. Choose a simple frame that won’t compete with the beauty of the flower. A white or black frame will work best as these colors will help the flower really stand out. Alternatively, you could use some twine or ribbon to hang up your masterpiece, making it a one-of-a-kind wall accent.
You’re now ready to show off your amazing artwork! And best of all, no one else will have a lily flower quite like yours. Why not take the time to make a few more lilies and create a full bouquet? Hang it up on the wall and let your creativity shine!
