Flowers drawn with graphite pencil came make bold artistic statements, but you may need to adjust the contrast to compensate for the lack of color.
When looking for flowers to draw, choose light and medium colored flowers which have interesting shapes and petal patterns.
Here are some suggestions:
- Roses
- Day Lilies
- Dahlias
- Tulips
- Daffodils
- Orchids
- Hollyhocks
- Calla lily
- Hibiscus
You can successfully draw flowers with a heavily textured shading technique if the same texture is used over the entire flower creating a unified appearance.
