This tutorial is just to familiarize you with the basic characteristics of the flower and it’s use on buildings
HOW TO DRAW FLOWERS!!
Hello Everyone This is Nightshade. And today I wanted to go over How to flowers on Clip Studio Paint.
We are going to be going over Cartoon flower gestures & directions. The Chrysanthemum flower, Rose, Bougainvillea, Lotus, Orchid, and May lily
Flower Directions
For a simple cartoon flower, simply draw a baseline where the ground should be then create two circles, connect the two circles with a line
The top circle will be the center of your flower where the petals will grow around 🙂
Create arrows in the direction you want your petals to be!
Doing this will simplify the shape process
CHRYSANTHEMUMS
Chrysanthemums generally symbolize longevity joy and optimism, Various colors symbolize other important meanings as well, and Yellow means Immortality and the sun!
Chrysanthemums can be intimidating but we’ll break it down to the stem
Draw two SLIGHTLY curved parallel lines as the stem
Add a squiggly leaf on the side for fun
Make some lines recline backwards, Trust the process the more layers you create the more it’ll look like a chrysanthemum
Without color it may look like a cabbage but like I said Trust the process
Choosing colors Yellow, Marigold, Burnt Orange, Orange, and Green add them to your palette
Use the Millie pen and watercolor
It should end up something like this!
Pink Lady’s Slipper, Cypripedium humile / Cypripedium acuale
Dotting shady, pine-scented woodlands with luscious pink in the late spring, pink lady’s slipper orchids are one of the U.S.’s most iconic and fascinating wildflowers. They require very specific conditions to grow, depending on two other organisms for survival. One is a fungus in the soil from the Rhizoctonia genus, which breaks open lady slipper seeds and passes nutrients to it. The second is the bee, the flower’s only pollinator, which it lures into its cup-like flower with false promises of nectar .
Because of these particular growth habits – combined with humanity’s propensity to take beautiful things out of the wild – slow-growing pink lady’s slippers are considered species of concern in some parts of the country. Over two centuries ago, botanist William Bartram allowed that it was best to look, but not touch, this delicate wildflower in his Flora of North America, writing that:
“It is a favorite flower, from the circumstance of its continuing to bloom a long time. It does not, however, bear the soil or atmosphere of common gardens… I have repeatedly attempted to cultivate it, but have never had a plant to bloom a second season.”
If you live on the east coast and are interested in spotting these beauties for yourself, check out local native plant organizations such as Virginia Wildflowers to find out where you can find them this spring.
Lord Rothschild’s variety, Vanda coerulea
Prior to the late twentieth century, when plopping an $8 orchid into your shopping cart at the grocery store became the norm, the exotic flowers were limited only to the wealthy. So popular were orchids in the Victorian era that a name, “Orchidelirium,” was coined for the rabid collection and “discovery” of new species. Orchid hunters ventured deep into the world’s jungles and forests – sometimes, not returning – in their race to be the first to dig up a new, beautiful flower and sell it for a high price back in England.
Botanists and scientific illustrators capitalized on the mania, including Robert Warner, the primary author of The Orchid Album. Published in 11 volumes in 1872 – 1897 and containing stunning illustrations by John Nugent Fitch and by Gertrude Hamilton, the book was highly prized by orchid collectors and growers, and is still available in paperback for lovers or botanical art.
Among the many orchids in The Album is the Lord Rothschild’s variety, which was afforded particularly enthusiastic attention due to its deep blue color. Warner wrote, “This is without doubt the finest dark colored variety of this, the Queen of the East Indian Orchids that we have of yet the good fortune to see.”
Native to Southeast Asia, this orchid grows on exposed deciduous trees in the wild. While it is relatively rare in the wild due to over-collection and habitat loss , it has been used by many orchid breeders to create showy blue hybrids.
Yellow-fringed habenaria, Habenaria ciliaris
Another gorgeous native orchid, the yellow-fringed habenaria – often called the orange-fringed bog orchid – is found in sunny, marshy areas ranging from Florida to Ontario. Unlike most orchids, it is pollinated by butterflies – particularly swallowtails – which gather pollinia on their compound eyes as they stick their long proboscis into the flower to collect nectar.
While the Yellow-Fringed Habenaria is currently considered globally secure, it is vulnerable through much of its range, largely due to threats to its wetland habitat. Wetlands are particularly vulnerable due to climate change, urbanization of coastal zones and river deltas, pollution, and changes to water use. Currently, more than 25 percent of wetland plants worldwide stand at risk of extinction.
