How to Draw a Sunflower in Pen & Ink | Easy Step-by-Step Tutorial
Learn how to draw a detailed sunflower in pen and ink using only two Micron pens! 🌻
In this step-by-step botanical drawing tutorial, I'll show you how I simplify one of nature's most intricate flowers by starting with just a few simple circles and gradually building the petals, the spiral center, beautiful textures, and realistic shading.
Along the way you'll learn:
• How to construct a sunflower from simple shapes
• How to draw natural-looking petals
• The secret behind the sunflower's spiral center
• How to use broken contours to create light
• Pen and ink shading techniques for petals and leaves
