Today, we’re going to learn how to draw a beautiful hibiscus flower. It’s going to be fun and easy, so grab your drawing tools, and let’s get started!
Here are the things you’ll need to draw your flower:
First, draw a small curve at the bottom of your paper. This is the middle part of the hibiscus flower. Then, draw two shapes that go up from the center and get closer at the top. Add eight little circles around the center to make it look interesting.
Now, let’s draw the petals! Start with the first petal by making a curve that goes out and then back in. Draw the second petal overlapping the first one. For the third petal, make it a bit bumpy and connect it to the first petal. Keep drawing more petals until your flower looks full and pretty.
Time to add some leaves! Draw a curve going down for the first leaf’s center. Then, outline the leaf with another curve and add a wavy line at the bottom. Do the same for the second leaf on the other side.
Now it’s time to make your flower colorful! Color the petals pink and the leaves green. To make them look more real, add some shading. Start with a darker color near the center and make it lighter as you move out.
Let’s make your flower look even cooler! Draw zigzag lines on the petals starting from the center. Do the same on the leaves with diagonal lines. This will give your drawing a nice texture.
For the finishing touches, use a black pencil to add shadows on the edges of the petals and leaves. Press harder for darker areas near the center and lighter as you go out.
Great job! You’ve drawn a lovely hibiscus flower. Remember, it’s okay if your flower looks a bit different. The most important thing is to have fun and keep practicing. Enjoy your drawing adventure, and happy creating!
Flower Observation Walk: Take a walk in a garden or park with an adult and look for real hibiscus flowers. Observe the different colors and shapes of the petals and leaves. Can you find other flowers that look similar? Draw a picture of your favorite flower from your walk and compare it to your hibiscus drawing.
Texture Exploration: Gather different materials like fabric, leaves, or paper with different textures. Feel each one and think about how they might feel similar to the textures you added to your hibiscus drawing. Try using crayons to make rubbings of these textures on paper. How do they compare to the zigzag and diagonal lines you drew?
Color Mixing Experiment: Use your coloring tools to mix different colors and create new shades. Try mixing red and white to make different shades of pink for the petals. What happens when you mix green and yellow for the leaves? Experiment with these colors on a separate piece of paper and see how many different shades you can create.
