How to Draw a Hydrangea Easy With Depth Of Field
Hydrangeas are my favorite flowers. Did you know that they can change color depending on the kind of soil they’re in? Yep! Their such an amazing plant. They are popular choices for weddings and parties because of their natural bouquet shape and the beautiful varieties of colors that they can come in. This also makes them such a fun flower to draw!
A Hydrangea flower is actually a ball of many flowers so this drawing won’t be too tricky, but taking your time will make a big difference.
Supplies You’ll Need :
When it comes to supplies, you don’t need to have the fanciest, most expensive ones to be able to create.
In fact, I’ve gotten some of my best results by using a dollar pack of colored pencils. It’s all about what you do with them, not how much you spent getting them.
- Paper
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Colored pencils or crayons or markers (watercolor is nice too!)
How to Draw a Hydrangea Flower Head
Let’s get started:
Artist tip: point to the middle of your paper with your finger.
This will tell your eyes how much space you have to draw in.
It does not have to be exact!
1. First, let’s make sure our paper is in the landscape position, which means sideways like a train.
2. We are going to draw the area we want our Hydrangea to be in.
This is a guideline and will be erased eventually. Draw a big circle lightly in the middle of the paper.
3. Next, draw your first little flower towards the bottom of the guideline circle.
The flowers have 4 petals and should be on the smaller side.
4. Now, fill the whole circle with those little flowers, and try to keep them about the same size.
How to Draw a Hydrangea Flower Step by Step
How to Draw a Hydrangea Flower easy with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Flower drawing tutorial for beginners and everyone.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
Step 1
Start by drawing some small flowers of the hydrangea. For each flower, use curved lines to form four petals in the shape of a four-leaf clover. Notice how the flowers overlap.
Step 2
Draw more flowers, again using curved lines to form each of the four petals. Notice that one of the flowers has a different perspective – you’re viewing it from the side. Flatten the nearest petal, then draw curved lines from the three nearest petals to the adjacent flower.
Step 3
Draw more flowers, so that they overlap with the flowers already there. Use a curved line for each of the four petals.
Step 4
Draw more four-petaled flower, rounding the ball at the top of the flower. Connect some edges using curved lines.
Step 5
Start creating textures and details for the flowers. Draw curved lines in the shape of a star in the center of each flower. Two lines should extend into each petal.
Step 6
Continue drawing stars in the center of the flowers until all the flowers are facing forward. Texture the edges of some petals with wavy curves.
Step 7
Start drawing hydrangea leaves. For each leaf, start with a long curved line for the central vein. Then outline the edges of the leaf using a series of short curved lines that meet at jagged points. Notice that the leaves overlap.
Step 8
Draw more leaves extending at various angles from the base of the flowers. For each, use a curve for the veins and short lines that meet at the jagged points to form the edges of the leaves.
Step 9
Use pairs of curves to draw flower stalks. Notice how the segments branch to support the leaves.
Step 10
Color your cartoon hydrangeas. Most hydrangeas are white, light blue, pale pink, purple, yellow, or some combination of these colors.
How to Draw a Hydrangea
In this tutorial, I want to show you how to draw a hydrangea. This is a very beautiful flower that has a lush inflorescence. Hydrangea will become a real decoration of any personal plot, garden, park, or alley. Also, hydrangea can be grown in your home. Such a plant can decorate any interior. This plant is unpretentious and does not need special care.
Hydrangeas are of different types, which differ in size, color, and shape of the inflorescence. Hydrangea can be white, pink, blue, lilac, purple, yellow-green. In the picture, you can see a beautiful purple hydrangea. You can color your flower in the same color, or you can use any other shade.
The hydrangea inflorescence consists of a large number of small flowers. The leaves have a beautiful oval shape. You will depict all this in your drawing.
