How to Draw a Frangipani, Plumeria Flower

I have two flower sketches for you today and they are going to be beautiful. Up first I will show you "how to draw a Plumeria", but they are also called Frangipanis. These beautiful blooming tropical buds can be found all over the tropical parts of the world like Brazil, Mexico and the Caribbean. The Plumeria is such a fabulous looking flower because of the subtle beauty that it holds. It has five pedals shaped like propellers, and inside each one is a distinct color. Now even though the Frangipani is beautiful, they have some side effects if you touch the sap from the plant. The sap from the plant can cause irritation to the skin and eyes if exposed to. There is a wide range of colors like pink, yellow, a combination of both and even pure white. You will also see this flower design on the backs, arms or legs of tattoo enthusiasts as it is a very popular flower tattoo. Anyways, enjoy drawing this sketch of a Plumeria or Frangipani and I will be back soon. Adios people!

Notice how the second pedal isn't as dark as the other. This is because the light source is coming from the left side of the flowers position. down in the middle the darkness remains.

Lastly, shade in the remaining pedals like so. The tips or ends of the pedals should be lighter then the rest. When you're done you can show people what you have just sketched out. Remember, you can always choose to use pastels, colored pencils, or even water color when coloring in this type of flower.
