    It will help to have some reference images on hand. You can also use actual flowers, either from outside or in the floral section of a store. What you'll be looking for is a variety of shapes and sizes and different textures. I've created a Pinterest board and included the link in the description here. Feel free to use this if you like. Images on this board contain all seven of our main wildflowers that we're illustrating and as we go through the lessons you can refer back to this for all of your drawings - so keep it on hand and let's get started!


  • Illustration Techniques : Highlights/Shadows/Texture6:48

    The first thing we'll do is get our set of pens. You just want to have a variety. I’ve got a Micron set here in different sizes and ranges - so as long as you have at least three different sizes, you’ll be good to go. Let’s practice our lines, cross-hatching, and stippling skills!

Description

One of my favorite things to draw is flowers; especially wildflowers. I'll show you how to illustrate these, step-by-step, and we'll then work on a final project together that combines the lessons into a floral quote. No lettering skills needed!

You can use this art for personal use, or take your work and turn it into a greeting card or art print and gift it to someone special.

SUPPLIES - For this class, you'll only need a few things:

• your favorite ink pens, in a variety of sizes
(my favorite: Micron Pens)

• pencil

• regular printer or copy paper

• a curated Pinterest Board included for reference

• a printable template (pdf included)


WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
I'll show you some easy illustration techniques to create light & shadows on your florals, and how to add different textures to your work. We will use some reference images, and I'll take you through my process of creating a balanced layout. For the final project, we will combine the florals and text together into a fun composition. In the end, you'll have all the tools and skills you need to create even more floral illustrations!
