  • Question
    How do I make the colors like how you drew it?

    The How.com.vn pictures are animated, but you can use watercolors! Watercolors can make any shade, and to do that shade, just use a dark green for the base and leave a few spaces. Then add white to the green and put that there.
  • Question
    Can I use this tulip for a science project, and write inside of the outline?

    Yes, that sounds like a great idea. You can even color the inside of the tulip lightly if you would like to.

    First, start with a lightly-drawn free-hand circle, as large as the nail on the thumb. Then draw about 6 pinkie finger-length lines from the edge of the circle outwards, spacing them evenly around the circle. Then connect the ends of the lines with free-hand arches. Add a few loose lines starting from the middle of the petal back to the circle for petal stems.

      To draw a tulip, start by drawing a fork-like shape as the outline of the flower. Next, add a thick stalk coming down from the rounded bottom of the shape. At the base of the stalk, draw two long, irregular ovals to create leaves. Then, color in the tulip and add details, such as a dark green center on each leaf. You can also experiment with different colors and patterns on the flower, like polka dots. For tips on how to draw individual petals for a realistic-looking tulip, read on!
