Lily of the valley study

Practice drawing lily of the valley with clear contours and selected overlaps. Hang four small bell shapes from short curved stalks, leaving space between them. Shape the bell lips and add a few light gray accents beneath the blossoms.

A way into the drawing

1. Start with the main forms

   Draw one gently arching stem and two broad leaves at its base.

2. Build the overlaps

   Hang four small bell shapes from short curved stalks, leaving space between them.

3. Choose the finishing details

   Shape the bell lips and add a few light gray accents beneath the blossoms.

A small thing to tryLeave space between the hanging bells so each curved outline is easy to follow.
