Practice Drawing Cherry Blossoms

People often see drawing artists as people that are just naturally good at drawing. The truth is that just like any other craft, drawing is a skill.

The more you do it, the better you’ll get. If you want to learn how to draw well, practice…practice…practice. If you want to get good at drawing cherry blossoms, I recommend sketching the flower often. Sketching for 20-30 minutes a day is a good start.

I think that using references is a great way to improve your drawing skills. Some people think that drawing from reference is cheating. I’m here to tell you that that’s not true.

To perfect your cherry blossom drawings, use references of the flower to study and learn different techniques. Just make sure you don’t copy someone else’s work and claim it as your own original creation.
