how to draw a realistic flower step 1

STEP 1.

Start out by picking your pencils. For this drawing I used an HB for sketching, a 2H for light shading/lines and a B for dark shading/lines.

STEP 2.

Before getting started it'll help to sketch some flowers just to get into the groove of things. Here I've tying to show you what to look for when drawing flowers. Basically figure out how many petals the flower has and what basic shape they form. The top flower is a hibiscus while the bottom one is a daisy.
