Are you struggling to draw realistic looking flowers? This course focuses on teaching you to capture important details, like petals or even pollen, that makes your flower illustration look like its actual real-life counterpart.
Drawing a shape that resembles a flower is super simple. Weâve all been doing it since kindergarten and itâs one of the most common drawing motifs.
Drawing a realistic flower, however, is something completely different. As beautiful as they are, theyâre also extremely complex living things, full of various colour shades and elusive details that can make or break your artwork.
âI thought I knew how to draw flowers ⌠then I took Freyaâs class and found myself re-learning the basicsâ - Jane, Wyoming
Flowers, leaves, and other botanical motifs are naturally beautiful and often catch peopleâs attention. Itâs not surprising that you see botanical designs everywhere you look. Whether it's fashion, textiles, interior design, restaurants, packaging design, hip cafes or even social media content, flowers can make every design shine.
â
A gorgeously painted flower can be a stand-alone work of art or a filler for a main motifâs background. They are as versatile as they are wonderful to look at and theyâre often included in every field of graphic design.
Considering its popularity, you should really add botanical art to your portfolio as it can get you some amazing clients. Believe me, Iâve had tons of requests for floral illustrations over the course of my career. And to be honest, those were some of my favourite freelance jobs. đ
As mentioned above, in my fifteen years of working as a professional illustrator, Iâve done quite a few botanical designs for some of the biggest brands in their industries.Â
Through a long process of learning, Iâve taught myself the rights and wrongs of drawing floral motifs. Itâs the field of illustration Iâve spent the most time studying and practising. Iâve actually become so proficient at it that Iâm now teaching artists, such as yourself.Â
The demand for botanical art sky-rocketed in the last few years. Being able to constantly grow and pass my knowledge onto others enabled me to find out exactly what it takes to master floral illustration. â
Filled with a bunch of âinsiderâ knowledge, this course will give you everything you need to confidently draw any flower you want!
In this course, weâll start from the beginning and learn our way towards floral illustration mastery. Youâll leave the course confident enough to tackle any floral illustration you (or your clients) want.
By starting with different flower petals, learning about all the different types of pollen and getting to know various types of leaves, weâll build a strong foundation on top of which youâll be able to build on.
Youâll learn how to properly sequence your layers in order to capture the natural essence of your botanical designs. In addition to that, youâll learn how to select the exact colours and apply them to your painting to really nail the natural look of the flower.
By enrolling in this course, youâll get a set of brushes that we will use for the exercises for free. Weâll learn which brushes to use for different types of drawing techniques. Youâll also master drawing the lines to make your flowers really pop!
Paint flowers that people will recognize right away. Learn to recognize and capture complex details that make each flower unique.
Once you paint something in Procreate, you can use it in a bunch of different ways. Offering canvases of many shapes and sizes, Procreate allows you to print your designs onto various mediums.Â
Design your own clothes or accessories with beautiful botanical motifs. Print it as a poster or frame it with a gorgeous frame to get a one-of-a-kind painting for your wall or to give as a gift.
Create gorgeous phone or computer backgrounds or engaging content for your social media profiles that will drive traffic and boost engagement.
Over the course of my professional career, Iâve realized over and over again that the saying âpractice makes perfectâ couldnât be more true. Imagine learning to swim ⌠in your living room. Once you hit the water, youâd probably drown within minutes.
And since painting of any kind demands certain training of your muscle memory to master the various painting techniques, one thing is more than obvious: more practice equals faster improvement. Thereâs also no better way to really grasp the theory and put your newly-found knowledge to use than actually drawing.
Thatâs why I structured the course in a way that every lesson contains a follow-along exercise. This way youâll be able to practice while getting all the knowledge you need. And hey, in the end, youâll end up with quite a few art pieces that youâll be able to showcase in your portfolio.
Pets are family, and the demand for personalized pet portraits is ever-growing. This course not only adds to your artistic skills but also opens doors to new opportunities.Â
People rarely hesitate to spend on two things they cherish: their children and their pets. By mastering pet portraits, you can not only earn from your passion, but you also get to bring smiles to peopleâs faces.Â
And let's face it, there's something incredibly fulfilling about earning from something that brings joy to your clients, all while doing something you love!
Plus, think of the fun collaborations with pet shops, vet clinics, or even pet events! Your art could be the star of the show, connecting you with a community of pet lovers who truly value your work.Â
