Question

How do I draw a one dimensional flower?

Community Answer

Don't add color tonality; color the flower in with a solid color (no light or dark areas). Use a black or grey outline.

Question

How should I shade the petals?

Community Answer

If you are focusing on the center, which looks best, you would shade both sides a medium tone of the color, and blend using your finger or a tissue, moving from the center, out to the right, or from the center, out to the left.

Question

How do I draw a more realistic lotus flower?

Community Answer

Your shading and highlighting will help a lot if you plan to color it with any sort of color, but if you want it to be a pencil-only drawing, use a tissue to blend out shading lines, and place shading strategically.
