In this beginner flower drawing tutorial, I review and improve a subscriber-submitted pencil drawing of a purple cornflower with a bumblebee. This video focuses on how to draw flowers realistically using graphite, breaking down the process so beginners can clearly understand what to improve and why.

If you’ve ever struggled with flower proportions, petal texture, or making your drawings look more realistic with contrast and shading, this lesson is for you. I walk through how to properly block in a flower, adjust scale and proportion, soften pencil lines, and create believable texture—especially in complex areas like the center of a flower (disc florets)

You’ll also learn:

-How to start a flower drawing without feeling overwhelmed

-Pencil techniques for soft, natural-looking petals

-How to draw realistic flower centers with depth and texture

-Why contrast is critical in botanical and nature drawings

-How to use graphite, blending stumps, and erasers effectively

-Tips for creating background blur to make your subject pop

This is a real drawing critique and improvement session, perfect for artists learning pencil drawing basics, botanical illustration, or nature sketching. Whether you’re just starting out or refining your skills, these techniques can be applied to any flower drawing.
