Discover the beauty of the Oriental lily, a popular and stunning flower. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through sketching a lovely lily in just five minutes. Grab a pencil, pen, eraser, and white A4 paper, and let's get started!
- Begin by sketching a large circle in the middle of your paper, then draw a curved line. Add a smaller intersecting circle adjacent to the larger one using a pencil.
- From the top left corner, draw two curved lines that extend towards the intersection point of the two circles (Pencil).
- Sketch additional curved lines from the top left corner, converging at the centre of the smaller circle. This essential step outlines the direction of the petals (Pencil).
- Using a pen, trace over the pencil lines to define the petals (Pen).
- Draw several "coffee bean" shapes around the smaller circle to create depth (Pen).
- Sketch the stamen to finalize the flower's outline (Pen).
- Gently erase the pencil lines to reveal a clean sketch.
- Add shading to the petals by drawing elongated lines from their base and a few short lines near the petal edges (Pen).
- Enhance the back of the petals with long, dense lines to create a sense of depth (Pen).
- Draw the flower's stems, leaves, and buds (Pen).
- Use a combination of long and short lines to define the bud's shape and texture (Pen).
- Create texture on the leaves with long lines, distinguishing them from the buds (Pen).
- Lastly, intensify the shading on the back of the petals with additional lines, perfecting the appearance of the oriental lily (Pen).
