1 Outline For the stems, draw two slightly wavy diagonal lines that cross each other Lightly sketch a circle at the top of each stem to show where the flower will be Sketch in arcs for the stems of the leaves, then draw leaves using curved lines 2 Sketch the Petals Inside the circles, lightly sketch in petals Use wavy lines to show the way the petals overlap and curve around each other Show that some of the petals fold over by drawing a second curve near the top of the petal Finish each stem by drawing a second line 3 Leaves and Stems Make the leaves more realistic by outlining them with jagged lines Draw a curved line through the center of each leaf to show the vein Add a second line to each leaf stem All along each flower's stem, add small curving thorns 4 Finish the Petals Finish the petals by adding more lines to connect the lines you already drew Make the edges of the petals more irregular, changing the outline to include small points and curves Add more veins to each leaf by drawing gently curving lines from the center vein to the edge 5 Shading Draw shading in the flowers' petals where the petals curve outward To shade those areas, draw a series of parallel curving lines Vary the lengths of the lines Shade the leaves by drawing short parallel lines next to each vein Shade one side of each stem with very short lines
