Draw Like an Artist: 100 Flowers and Plants: Step-by-Step Realistic Line Drawing * A Sourcebook for Aspiring Artists and Designers (Volume 2) (Draw Like an Artist, 2) Paperback – June 25, 2019

The perfect book for anyone who wants to draw flowers & their leaves and bring them to life with shading. It also shows the bud & a 2nd position of the flower.Don't dismiss this book because it is not in color. It has very easy steps of how to draw perfect specific flowers & their leaves & if you need the color go on the internet to your browser & search for the specific flower & you will get all the colors it comes in. The website Pinterest is also excellent for getting the color of flowers. For vine flowers the book shows the flower, stem & leaf but not put together as a vine but you can get the vine from the internet. You can also search "how to draw" & name the specific flower & generally you will get a finished drawing of the flower in color. The internet drawing instructions are not as specific as in the book. This book is great for both the beginner, art student & even the seasoned artist. I have been drawing for over 70 years & always struggled with flowers. My flowers have2 shapes, thin or fat petals & most of my flowers were unidentified. I can do a daisy, water lilly, clematis & sunflower & anything else is a generic flower.

Step by step illustrations of how to develop the drawing of a flower or plant. Easily understood, easy to navigate the screens on my Amazon HD 12 Fire Tablet. Perfect guide for children and adults. I streamed thus book thru Kindle Unlimited.

This book catalogs a sampling of basic flower and leaf shapes in a step-by-step drawing presentation.Pros:1) It shows you how to construct and evolve each type of plant part to a finished rendering.2) This is a good study book for art beginners to sketch and learn the different flowers and leaves and their parts.3) This is a good desktop reference when deciding on a floral composition to draw or paint.Cons:1) The print is very light which makes it visual struggle to see in detail.For some reason, publishers these days have gotten into this pale print mode. I suspect a profit motive in that lighter print means a cheaper, less pigment-saturated printing ink. Whatever the reason, a design choice or maximizing profits, it's a truly annoying practice that I wish publishers would vacate. I find this pale gray print in regular reading books, too, which makes them difficult to read and does not encourage reading because of this inserted and unnecessary reading obstacle.2) The names/label of each plant or leaf is positioned in the upper corner of the page; printed sideways. Because of the style choice of lettering, the pale color, and the unexpected placement of the labels, if you don't consciously go looking for them, you won't even know they are there.In general, if you are an artist or aspiring artist, this is a helpful reference book to have in your art library.

I loved,the,step by step illustrations that helped,me,draw,each flower and,tree. I would,suggest,this,book to others. Its a handy book full of a lot of drawings.

I have never been artistic in my life, but I love flowers and wanted to learn how to draw them. This book has been an excellent guide! The instructions are simple and the flowers realistic. I wish it showed different perspectives of flowers, but it has been great for a beginner and it's one of the few books I found with so many different flowers that you can learn to draw!

Love that it’s all pictures. I like to just follow the steps and not do a bunch of reading. Real nice variety. Also ordering the 100 animals drawing book.

For more advanced learners. Not my favorite as a beginner.

I really like this book, because it doesn't just cover flowers but other plants and foliage as well. Easy step by step instructions help me to get the shapes and form down pat! I recommend this book 100% for people of all ages to learn how to draw plants.
