1. Rough OutlineLightly sketch four circles to show the position of the flowers. Lightly sketch two heart shapes below them for leaves. Sketch curving lines for the stems.
Behind the flowers, sketch three more leaf shapes using curved lines.
2. Sketch Petals and LeavesWithin the circles, sketch petals using circular shapes. Outline the leaves with scalloped lines. For the leaves behind the flowers, show that they are folded over.
Do this by drawing one side of the shape with a curving line. Draw a second, scalloped line inside the shape.
3. Stems and ScallopsDraw the outlines of the petals with slightly scalloped lines. Draw two short, curving lines in each petal to show ridges. Draw in the stems.
Add a scalloped line at the bottom of the stems. Draw a small arc below the scalloped line.
4. VeinsDraw in the veins of the bottom leaves using double branched lines. In the leaves that are folded, the center vein can't be seen.
Draw narrow V shapes that curve toward the scalloped edges. Draw tiny circles for the centers of the flowers.
5. Shading and DetailShade the leaves with short parallel lines on either side of the veins. Shade the edges of the leaves with very short lines.
Use just a few short lines to shade each of the petals at the tips, Shade the centers of the flowers with a few very short lines.
