Want to learn how to draw a small flower? Grab a bit of paper and a pencil, because it’s never been easier! Drawing a small flower is quick and simple, even for those without prior art experience. All you need is a tiny bit of concentration, and you’ll be producing miniature masterpieces in no time.
To get started, you’ll first have to have paper and something to draw with. Pencils, felt-tips and crayons can all do an excellent job of illustrating these little flowers. The action is simple; start by drawing a single circle in the exact centre of the page. This is going to be the centre of your flower – and it just has to be perfect!
Once your main circle is drawn in, you can start to think about the petals that will make your small flower bloom. Draw 4 little lines coming out from the circle, and curl the tops of the lines inwards ever so slightly. Make the lines the same size (or close to the same size) to create a symmetrical masterpiece. Give your flower some little details, like a few more circles or even a few light scribbles – it’s your flower, Create it however you’d like.
You can also give your little flower a stem and some leaves to really round off the look. Use a couple of curves and lines to draw these; if you’re feeling extra creative you can add a little variation in your leaves like we did in the example. Your flower’s complete!
To create dimensional blossoms, experiment with different sizes of petals and use shading to bring your drawing to life. Making your petals look 3D makes for a highly realistic flower, and it’s easier than it sounds. Hold your pencil at a slight angle as you draw and make sure to add strength on the sides of the petals. It’s a simple process that can make your small flower look oh-so realistic!
A small bit of bravery can go a long way when it comes to your art. It’s okay to make mistakes; in fact, practice makes perfect! Draw, erase, draw again and soon you’ll have created a little flower that you can be proud of.
Have you ever heard of putting a little colour in your flowers? Here’s your chance to be colourful! Grab a few felt tips or even your set of trusty wax crayons and colour in your little flower masterpiece. Don’t be scared to mix up the colours; if you’re feeling extra brave (like we did) you can even create a streaky rainbow effect on the petals.
Itching for a challenge? Try creating bigger and bigger flowers as you practice. This way, you can refine your techniques and watch your drawings become better and better. You can even practice creating entire bouquets or flower beds – watch them come to life on the page and wait for the praise as your friends and family gush over your ‘million dollar’ artwork.
Drawing small flowers is a great way to relax and express yourself. Spend a few minutes each day creating a small flower and see how it brightens your spirits. Whether you’re from a family of budding artists or you’re just beginning to pick up a pencil, drawing a small flower is as easy as can be.
