Got a wild idea today – ever thought about drawing a rose, but like, giving it hair? Sounds nuts, I know, but stick with me here. I grabbed my sketchbook and a pencil, thinking, “Why not?” Started with the basics, sketching out a simple rose. Nothing fancy, just your everyday garden variety.
Then came the tricky part – the hair. How do you even put hair on a flower? I began by drawing long, flowing locks around the petals. Made it look like the rose was peeking out from behind a curtain of hair. I used light strokes for the hair, giving it a wavy, natural look. I wanted to keep it a bit rough, didn’t want to get too crazy with the details.
Next, I added some shading to give it depth. Darkened the areas where the hair met the petals and around the stem. This made the whole thing pop a bit more. I kept flipping the sketchbook around, trying to get the light right. It’s like, the rose was coming alive or something.
I messed around with different styles too. One version had short, spiky hair, making the rose look like it was ready to rock out. Another had braids, which, honestly, was tougher than it sounds. Getting the braids to look like they were part of the flower was a real brain twister.
- Started with a basic rose sketch.
- Added hair around the petals.
- Played with different hairstyles – long, short, braids.
- Shaded the drawing for depth.
- Kept the style loose and fun.
Here’s a breakdown of what I did:
In the end, I had a sketchbook full of these weird, hairy roses. It was a blast, just letting my imagination run wild. It’s not every day you get to draw a flower with a hairdo, right? Might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but hey, it was fun. That’s what counts. And who knows, maybe I’ll try adding something else weird to a flower next time, just for kicks.
Anyway, that was my little art adventure for today. Just goes to show, you can find inspiration in the weirdest places. You just gotta be willing to try stuff out, you know?
