In this lesson, you will learn how to draw an easy leaf. The lesson includes six simple steps that any beginner can easily follow.
I invite all beginner artists to a new, interesting and useful lesson, in which I will show in detail how to draw an easy leaf.
This lesson will require your ability to draw smooth rounded and curved lines, so this task will be a good exercise for your creativity. Take your time during the lesson and try to make the same lines as shown in the example.
The figure shows a leaf of a standard form. This leaf shape is the most common. The leaf is divided into two parts and has a short stem. First you have to draw the outer contour, then you need to add small elements in the form of veins of various shapes.
You can color the sheet in green, red or yellow. It will be very beautiful if you take two shades and depict a smooth transition. So, get your art supplies ready and get to work.
