Drawing a Japanese cherry blossom

Overview of the steps

00:06

Take the HB graphite pencil and start sketching the flowers. Start with rough shapes to define the composition of your drawing. Then you can keep adding more details to shape the flowers.

03:07

Use the Pigma Micron to trace over the lines of your design.

08:09

Erase all pencil lines.

08:21

Grab your Pigma Micron again and add details and light shadows.

11:11

Use the Koi Brush Pen to apply colour. Start in the middle of the flowers and leave the end of the leaves white.

11:24

Take a wet cotton swab or brush and use it to create a watercolour effect. This will give your work more depth and a soft colour transition from dark to light.

14:10

Let dry thoroughly and go back with your Koi Brush Pen to add some more colour. This will give a shadow effect, creating more depth.

14:33

Again, use a wet cotton swab to blend the colour.

15:44

Let it dry thoroughly again and go back with your Pigma Micron to add some more contrast.

16:12

Use the Gelly Roll Stardust Clear Star to apply details for a subtle glitter effect.
