Flower Drawings In Pencil

These flower drawings in pencil are basically all done as an outline.

Here is an outline of a pansy.

There are so many varieties of pansies. It is such a pretty flower.

They are ideal for decorating the cover of birthday cards. Especially in color.

I receive a lot of mail requesting simple drawings. You can easily copy any one of these drawings and use it in your projects.

Pencil flower drawings reduce an image to stark beauty and simplicity. I know we are all different, and that's a good thing, but I love black and white flower drawings.

The Poinsettia

For my next drawing, I decided to do a poinsettia. Or, should I say, my version of a poinsettia.

Poinsettias have a bright red flower with a yellow cluster in the center.

There are other colors available in cream, pink and white. It's very clever what they can do with plants now.

I used to have a beautiful red poinsettia in my garden. I couldn't help but admire that plant.

The Common Violet

This is a drawing of a common violet. They make such a cute ground cover.

I nuture my violets, I love to see them popping up everywhere.

The Daffodil

A daffodil is one flower that is very popular.

I love daffodils even though yellow is not one of my favorite colors.

By doing these flower drawings in pencil, I haven't done justice to the daffodil. It is much prettier in color.

Magnolias

Flower drawings in pencil turn out really nice if the flower is originally white. Just like magnolias.

My neighbor had a magnolia tree. I think they are only pretty when they are in flower.

A magnolia is commonly white. In Australia, they have a lovely purple tinge.

I did a lot of magnolia drawings, they look so regal.

The Fuchsia

I grow lots of different varieties of fuchsias.

I love the way they flower all year round.

We've been in drought conditions for several years and my outdoor plants have been neglected.

However, my fuchsias continue to thrive despite not getting much water. It's such a pretty flower.

Copying From Nature

I made a lot of notes to myself when I was researching which black and white flower drawings to include on this page.

I ended up with a huge list of my favorite flowers that I wanted to draw. It's obvious that I'm going to have to add a lot more pages of pencil flower drawings!

I was doing lots of rough sketches of flower drawings in pencil on almost every spare piece of paper that I found. It was such fun!

All of these drawings were done with a 2B retractable or mechanical pencil.
