Today, we are going on a fun adventure to draw a beautiful flower called a tulip! This guide is perfect for young artists, so grab your crayons and let’s begin.
Here’s what you need to draw your flower:
Start with the Letter “U”: Use your pink crayon to draw a big letter “U” at the top of your paper. Make it about the size of your hand.
Add Diagonal Lines: From the right side of the “U,” draw a slanted line down to the bottom. Do the same from the left side to make a shape that looks like a “Y.”
Upside Down “V”: In the middle of the “Y,” draw an upside-down “V” to make the top of the tulip.
Switch to Green: Take your green crayon and draw a straight line down from the bottom of the flower to make the stem.
Add Leaves: Draw two leaves on each side of the stem. You can make them tall and pointy if you like!
Coloring Time: Now that your flower and leaves are drawn, it’s time to color! Fill in your leaves and stem with green. Make it as colorful as you want.
Add Outlines: Use a darker pink crayon to outline the flower. This will make your drawing stand out and look amazing.
Practice Makes Perfect: It’s okay if your drawing looks different. The most important thing is to have fun and keep practicing!
Experiment with Colors: Try drawing the tulip again with different colors. How about a rainbow tulip?
Great job on drawing your tulip! We hope you enjoyed making your flower. Keep practicing and try new colors and designs. Happy drawing!
Flower Observation Walk: Take a walk in a garden or park with an adult and look for real tulips or other flowers. Notice the different shapes and colors. Can you find a flower that looks like the one you drew? Talk about the different parts of the flower you see, like the petals, stem, and leaves. Draw a picture of your favorite flower from the walk when you get home.
Color Mixing Experiment: Use watercolors or colored pencils to mix different colors and see what new colors you can create. Try to make a new color for your tulip. What happens when you mix red and white? Or blue and yellow? Use these new colors to draw another tulip and see how it changes the look of your flower.
Story Time with Tulips: Create a short story about your tulip drawing. What is the tulip’s name? Where does it live? Does it have any friends? Share your story with a family member or friend. You can even draw more pictures to go along with your story!
