♪How to Draw a Flower2 (Cherry Blossom)♪


I'll continue writing about how to draw a flower

for hand painted nail art!!


Today, I'll show you how to draw
a cherry blossom flower, my favourite spring flower!!


Before you start drawing on the nail,
let's check what cherry blossoms look like,
(See Cherry Blossom Images )

and practice on a piece of paper first(^-^)/

After checking a few different photos,
you can tell the flower shape is like this...


A round petal with a little cut on the end.


Let's practice the shape
following the steps that I showed you
in the last blog

How to Draw a Flower?!


Practice practice practice practice
practice practice practice until you find
a perfect shape, size and angle etc...(^▽^)~♪




Then, let's try painting them
using acrylic paint!!

I used black, so that I can see
how I'm doing better(^-^)

 Adding water little by little with the brush,
mixing mixing mixing
until the paste becomes very smooth : )


It is always good to start drawing the outline first.



Then fill inside.


When the brush becomes hard on the end
and doesn't separate any more like this,

please dip the brush into the water
and separate the hair.

With practice, I think your body will remember
how to move the brush to draw cherry blossoms.

OK!!
I'll show you how to draw these cherry blossoms
on the nail next time!!



Thank you very much for reading (´∀`)ノ☆
