"Hello, my name is Savago Lome from savagolome.com. I'm here on behalf of the Broward Art Guild. I'm going to show you how to draw carnation. Let's draw some oval right here and the other one here. This is actually our flower and this is the calyx. Then extend the calyx and draw the thin stem like this. Now let us draw the petals. They are long and pointed. Take your time because the carnation has a lot of petals. It's very beautiful flower; just like this. Be creative, add some kind of nice shade on it. Now put some strokes on the calyx and at the cureth leaves on the stem like this and our last pair. So you can add some shades on the calyx and on the leaves so our flower will look more realistic.
