Today, I'm going to show you how to draw this flower wreath! The thing I love about this is that even though it looks complex, it's really only made up of smaller shapes. This would also make a beautiful greeting card if you did some hand lettering in the middle!
You will need:
The first step is to pencil in a circle that's approximately the size you want the wreath to be. This will guide the placement of your flowers and leaves.
You will need:

| Sharpie and Pigma are both great pen options. |
- Pencil and eraser
- Drawing paper: I recommend smooth cardstock
, especially if you're going to color it with markers. You can also get sketchbooks with thick paper in them to practice this technique.
- Micron pens
: I love Pigma's Micron pens because they allow you to draw some really tiny details, giving your wreath that delicate look.
- Fine tip Sharpie pens
: I love these pens, and the best news is they come in almost any color you could ever want!
- (Optional) Blank notecards

The first step is to pencil in a circle that's approximately the size you want the wreath to be. This will guide the placement of your flowers and leaves.
Begin by penciling in the largest flowers around the circle, leaving enough space between each one for the leaves and smaller flowers.
There are all kinds of different flowers you can draw, some of which you can see on the right. Try varying how pointed or rounded the petals are.
Next, connect your large flowers with three or four lines between each flower. These will form the stems that you will draw the leaves on. Draw a few lines extending from each of the stems for the stems' branches.
Begin adding leaves and smaller flowers to your vines. Don't feel intimidated by how complex they seem, since the leaves are really just made of circles and ovals. You can see how to draw them on the left.
Now, go over all your pencil lines with a fine tipped black pen, taking your time with this part. This is where I love Micron pens, because the super fine tip gives the wreath that delicate look. I use 002 pen for the main part, and then I add details with the 005 pen.
Erase your lines with a soft eraser. Remember that the smoother your paper, the longer you need to let the ink dry before erasing - or else you risk smearing your hard work! I usually wait about 15 to 20 minutes, just to be safe.
Now for the fun part...coloring your wreath! I love Sharpies, because they have a vivid, brilliant color, and they come in super fine tips. But if you prefer colored pencil, I recommend soft lead pencils. A starter set of Prismacolors
isn't too expensive on Amazon, and the soft lead gives a bright color.
