Shade a Flower Rose when Drawing With a Graphite Pencil
Flowers are sometimes tricky to draw, but with the right tools and craftsmanship, you can accomplish your goal of making a beautiful shaded flower with graphite pencil.
Steps
- Hold the pencil at an angle and lightly create circular or ovular lines. Since you are holding the pencil at an angle, you should get thick lines. Shade the insides of the petals and the areas where the light isn't reaching to create a realistic look.
- Use either a facial tissue, your fingers, or a shading tool you can buy at any craft store to rub the section you just wrote on. Using a facial tissue is best because it helps create that flawless natural look.
- Use a small eraser to clean up the areas you accidentally shaded on.
- Brush off the eraser cooties and admire your graphite pencil flower!
Tips
- Take your time. Patience is the key to producing masterpieces.
