How to draw a violet with a pencil step by step for beginners and children?
Violet is a beautiful and delicate flower, familiar to children and adults. In the picture, the violet looks special thanks to its bright colors and lush purple petals. You can depict a violet with pencils, crayons or paints. In any case, you should draw a sketch with a pencil so that the picture is neat and with clear edges.
Where to start drawing:
- Choose high-quality thick drawing paper. It will easily absorb any paint, will not bend, and the eraser will not tear it if you erase extra lines.
- Drawing flowers starts from the top. Draw lush violet petals and only then proceed to the leaves and trunks.
- Remember that in a violet, the flowers should attract more attention than the lush greenery or pot.
- Decide what kind of violet you are drawing: domestic or wild, therefore, draw it growing in the ground or a pot. Add details to the drawing.

How to draw a violet. Step-by-step master class.
So let's begin. Let's draw a flower separately to understand the principle of drawing and the shape of a flower. Draw the outlines with a pencil and completely color the flower with blackberry color.
We paint each petal separately.
Using black paint, make light, long strokes from the center of the flower to the edge.
Then we additionally add thin light lilac strokes, retreating from the center of the flower.
Add highlights along the edges of the petals with white paint.
Use black to tint the center of the flower a little more.
We paint the core with yellow paint and add a small dot highlight with white paint.
In this simple way you can draw a violet flower. Now let's get to more creative work!
Pencil drawings of violets for children for sketching
You can learn to draw beautifully only by drawing the main lines of sketches for a long time. Especially when it comes to images of flowers. It is important to remember the basic structure of the petals and stems, so that you can easily depict it yourself later.
You can draw templates, for example, violets, by printing them on a printer and attaching the drawing to the glass, covering it with a clean sheet on top. But even if you don't have a printer, just place a piece of paper on your computer screen and use light pressure with a pencil to draw the lines. Then bring the drawing to perfection by drawing the lines yourself and painting with paints.
