Everyone in life has different ways to approach tasks depending on the abilities or ways to think and learn, in the same way in botanical line drawing illustration there are different ways to approach a result. The idea is to review two different ways to achieve a botanical illustration so at the end of the practice you will discover which of the ways you are feeling comfortable or maybe you will find that you prefer the combination of both methods.

1. The first way is to break the flower down to have a better understanding of its parts and then draw it completely

2. The second one is to create general guidelines first and then follow those to get the great proportions and balance in your flower

Throw the course I will be bringing some practice sheets (PDF format to print in resources) that I design to guide you in the steps to approach the drawing from different ways.

PROJECT TIME

At the end of the class, you will choose one flower of your preference (different from the class) or draw the same orchid that I choose. Then draw it with the process you will feel more comfortable with step by step to get at the end a beautiful flower in ink.
