You can use your own custom brushes for coloring, and you can also use the [default brushes] in the software to achieve good results.
How to draw flowers quickly
This quick drawing method can be used to “draw a large number of flowers at one time” or “doodle with better rendering“.
If you are proficient in this technique, you can complete a complex double-petaled flower in as little as 5 minutes*.
Of course, this method can also be improved to draw flowers with exquisite details (you must spend more time on coloring and modifying the outline)
canvas size
- First, open a large canvas,
The so-called “large” depends on the intended finished size. For example: assuming the final size is “A”, then the original size should be at least 2 to 3 times the size of “A”.
- Try not to skip this step, because when you finally look at the picture, you will see the overall effect first, not the details**
When the large picture is reduced, the messy strokes when painting will also be compressed together. After the messy strokes are compressed, they will become details in the small picture.
Flower prototype
- The first step in drawing flowers is to draw the “shape” of the entire flower. The following is an example of a double flower with an oblique side angle.
※You can choose whether to add a border effect according to your personal preferences
- Use your favorite [Brush] or [Lasso Tool] to quickly draw the shape of the flower. Don’t pay too much attention to the outline, just let the shape be natural, because the growth of plants is inherently uncertain.
Then repair the cracks on the petals, you can skip this step.
Painting different types of flowers also starts with the same method. This technique is suitable for various angles. The difficulty of painting is usually side > back > oblique side > front.
It may be easier to understand using flowers with diagonal angles as a painting demonstration. It also contains a variety of angle characteristics.
If you want to learn to draw flowers from different angles, please use your browser to find real flowers as a reference, or go out for a walk and take some photos of flowers as a practice.
The Easy Way to Draw Flowers (Without Actually Drawing!)
Drawing flowers without drawing them? Sounds like a trick, right? It’s not. Last week, I showed you how to create 3 simple circles for floral wreaths. Today, I wanted to show you the easy way to draw flowers without drawing them! Now you can add easy flower wreaths to your bullet journal or around quotes or add flower doodles… The possibilities are endless.
Supplies Needed:
The only supplies you need for drawing easy flowers are a brush pen with a flexible tip and a piece of paper.
In my video, I used Tombow dual brush pens, but any other brush pen would work, too! A brush pen works well in this case because the marker has a pointy tip and a rounded base, kind of like a rounded triangle. The bigger the pen, the larger the flower. See below for some examples of easy flower doodles. Guess what? They’re all created without drawing and only using the tip of a brush pen. I even tried it with Crayola markers and they worked too!
Featured from left to right:
- Sta Metallic Brush Pen
- Sharpie Brush Pen
- Crayola Markers (I know these aren’t a brush pen, but they seem to work, too)
- Tombow Dual Brush Markers
- Water pen with watercolor paint
- Pentel Touch Brush Pens

About Me
Hi! I’m Tricia, the creative behind ChocolateMusings.com, I know how it feels to lose your inner muse. After years of darkness (which I call the dark ages of my life), I found my inner muse hiding in the forgotten corners of my soul, I vowed never to lose sight of her again.
Bullet journaling helped reignite the passion for art and living life again while organizing my days. I also discovered modern calligraphy and watercolor. Since then, my use of the bullet journal system has evlolved and I call it ‘creative planning’. Here on the blog, I show you how to use your planner to ignite your inner muse and explore creativity and art while staying beautifully organized and living a joyful life.
I invite you to grab some good chocolate and dive into my musings. Let’s ignite your inner muse.
