Joel Hickerson, grindog.com and today we are going to learn how to draw exotic flowers. First thing we'll try is an orchid. It is a little simpler than most. You have five petals usually on these and they kind of have their own shape. The thing about them is they also have a stamen that comes out and kind of steps out on its own, come back and delineate each different petal. Remember there is five of them and kind of have a crease in the center and there are a million ways to simplify these things and this is a little more detailed than we probably need. These petals may have leaves that come out to the side like that, darken them up a little bit to distinguish them from the flower and then another one might be some little exotics and you can get those by doing little starbursts and let's find little stars there and you can bring the petals down in the same location or their stems, excuse me, go on down here to the same point and then you get that look. Then the last one we will probably try is The Bird of Paradise which has a stem that kind of comes in from the side and it has a colored part that actually comes up the middle and actually comes a little farther and these on the sides are actually leaves whereas these are the colored ones. Now look at what we get from there. That's how you draw exotic flowers.
