How to Draw a Lily

by: Cool2BKids

Step 1: Draw a big circle that surrounds a smaller one that is a little shifted to the right from its center.

Step 2: Draw three pairs of diagonally opposite curves that act as guides for the petals.

Step 3: Begin with sketching the first petal that resembles the tapering shape of a leaf with a couple of folds at its base.

Step 4: Same goes for the second that shows up at a different angle. A double margin at the bottom signifies a fold.

Step 5: The third one is devoid of a pointed end. It just has a couple of curves in that place.

Step 6: Now it’s time to draw four long thin filaments topped with oval anthers. Check how they cross each other.

Step 7: The fourth petal resembles the first two in shape and folds but for the orientation and size.

Step 8: The fifth petal complements the structure of the third.

Step 9: Border the flower with an oblong unopened bud on top and slender, curvy leaves at the sides. Note the series of lines running down their bodies.

Step 10: Finish the last petal that looks like a complement of the first though with a little overlapping. Erase guides and make the center prominent.
