Tips for Simple Flower Drawing
I will say it again, just in case you didn’t believe me. Anyone can draw, especially an easy flower drawing.
Really, anyone!
And anyone can draw a flower too, just start at the basic level and practice your skills often until you can draw more detailed designs.
If you can write your name, you can draw.
Before you start learning how to doodle flowers here are some basic drawing tips that will help you create beautiful floral art:
- Start with simple shapes: Most things around you can be drawn with basic shapes like circles, squares, and triangles.
- Pencil first: Get used to drawing with a pencil where you are free to experiment without worry about making mistakes. Then you can just erase and carry on. Here is my favorite doodle pencil.
- Experiment with mediums: Maybe you love drawing with a pencil and shading the light just right? Or you may find creating bold colors with fine tip markers is more your style. Finding a medium you love to use will help with creativity and skill.
- Be relaxed and move when you draw: Don’t keep your arm stiff, try drawing from your shoulder rather than your wrist.
- Practice. Lots. And forget perfection. Have fun and make mistakes.

Types of flower drawing
Before we get to the tutorials, let’s talk a bit about different types of flowers drawing.
When you look at drawings of flowers you will see that they vary a lot in detail and difficulty. Some drawings are very detailed and realistic, while others are basic and some others are just a just made of a simple pencil outline.
Apart from the minimal or comprehensive details, you also have different styles such as cute flower arts, cool zentagle patterns, colorful designs, and creative flower drawings.

Start with the basic shapes and practice until you feel more comfortable trying other templates.
And if a particular flower feels too difficult, just try and draw different flowers instead.
