Step by Step Tulip Drawing Tutorial

Steps 1-2-3-4:

Draw a wide “U” shape in the middle of your paper.

Then draw two “V” shapes on the top of the “U” shape, keeping 1-inch distance from the “U” shape. Join the two sides of the “V” shape with the “U” shape using vertical lines. This will create the base for your tulip flower drawing.

From the left “V” shape draw a diagonal line connecting the bottom. Similarly, draw another diagonal line from the right side of the “V” shape connecting the middle part of the previous diagonal line.

Draw two more upside-down “V” shapes on the gap between the front petals.

Steps 5-6-7-8:

Draw the tulip’s sepal on the bottom using curvy lines.

Draw a vertical line from the bottom of the flower.

Draw another vertical line along the previous line and keep a 1 cm distance.

Draw the leaves using curved lines according to your choice.

Steps 9-10-11-12:

First, take a light pink colouring pencil and color the entire tulip flower.

Then take a darker shade of pink and make the edges along the outline slightly darker. Use your finger or a wet paintbrush to blend the edges.

Take a light green shade color the leaves, stem, and sepals.

Take a darker green shade and similarly make the edges darker.

Step 13:

Use another darker green or black to draw the veins on the leaves.
