How to Draw a Fuchsia Flower Printable Worksheet

This is a printable how-to-draw a fuchsia flower worksheet.

This lesson will help the young artist to draw a beautiful flower. It will push them a little beyond their comfort level. The fuchsia is a flower with a lot of graceful lines.

I draw these as handouts to give my students at the end of my class so they can have a project at home, or sometimes we do one of my worksheets when the student needs a little confidence boost.

PRINTABLE NOTES.

Draw lightly at first so you can erase later.
Start with large circles for where the flowers go to organize your picture. Put little ovals for the pods and small circles for the buds.

Divide the flower circles in half for the two parts of the flower.

The leaves are like long curving rectangles. Draw small ones near the buds and large ones near the flower. Put some behind the flower and one or two in front of a flower to hide a small part of it.

The flower is like a bell shape in the bottom part. There are three parts of the pod that curved upward; the one in the middle looks like an upside-down letter "V" The two on the sides are curved lines that end in points. The flower has crinkly edges, and there are petals that lap over others, so draw a curved line to show one or two of the other petals.
There are little hairs that come out of the bottom of the flower; draw them as two lines, each with one in the center that is longer than the others.

Go around the leaves and give them zigzag saw-tooth edges. Little stems go to the flowers, buds, and pods. Use two lines for each stem.

Use shading to give the effect of contrast depth by going dark in the background and leave the flowers white.
