Steps To Draw A Tulip
You can also follow our YouTube tutorial for visual guidance. To get started, refer to the short demo in the image below, and follow the steps to draw a tulip step by step.
Step 1: Draw U Shape
Let’s begin by drawing a leaf or petal of the tulip. Sketch an irregular “U” shape just like the one shown in the image above.
Step 2: Complete Petal
Next, draw two curves crossing each other to form two petals of the tulip as demonstrated in the image above. This will create two tulip petals.
Step 3: Draw Third Petal
Now, in the center of the two petals that were drawn earlier, add a small petal between them as shown in the image above. This completes the drawing of the three tulip petals.
Step 4: Draw Small Petals
Likewise, continue by completing the tulip’s petals. Draw two more small petals between the two petal leaves that were drawn earlier as shown in the image above. These small petals create a mountain-like shape inside the two larger petals.
Step 5: Draw Stem
As we have completed the flower part, let’s draw the stem of the tulip. Draw two curved lines in parallel making the stem. Ensure they are attached to the petals as shown in the image above.
Step 6: Draw Pointed Leaf
Tulip flowers typically have long, pointed leaves. To complete the drawing, add a pointed leaf attached to the stem of the flower as shown in the image above.
Step 7: Draw Another Leaf
To add another leaf to the tulip, draw a curved line as shown in the image above. Just sketch the curvy line from the base.
Step 8: Complete Leaf
Then draw another line to complete the leaf of the flower as in the image above.
Step 9: Grading
We have finished drawing the tulip flower, let’s add some faint lines to the petals and leaves to make it look more realistic. We’re now ready to move on to the coloring step.
Coloring a Tulip
Once the tulip drawing is finished, we can proceed with coloring the flower. We’ve selected simple colors for this task.
Tulips come in various colors, but we’ve opted for light pink for the petals and light green for the stem. You can fill in the colors according to your preferences.
Colour Details:
- Light Pink
- Light Green
After coloring, we get a realistic tulip. You can use a pencil color (we made it digital)
