The written step-by-step video tutorial:
Intro: Start off with a pencil sketch. In the beginning stages, don’t press down too hard. Use light, smooth strokes for sketching.
Step 1: Draw a small oval near the top of the page for the tulip's first petal. To draw the oval, start with a U- shaped line and then close off the top with a smaller curved line.
Step 2: To the left of the oval, draw two more petals using a vertical line and two pointy tips at the top.
Step 3: Draw two more flower petals on the right side the same way. A long line with two pointed tips at the top.
Step 4: Under the flower, draw two vertical lines for the tulip's stem. Make the line on the right slightly longer.
Step 5: Draw a long line that crosses the stem and slopes up for the first part of the flower's leaf. To the left, draw another sloping line that creates a pointy tip on the top, left side to finish the shape of the leaf.
Step 6: To the right, draw another pointy shape using two long, curved lines for another leaf.
Step 7: Below the leaves, draw a long, curved, horizontal line for the top edge of the flower pot. On either side of the line, draw a smaller vertical line for the sides of the pot's upper rim. Draw another long, curved, horizontal line underneath to close off the shape of the flower pot's rim.
Step 8: Under the rim, on the sides, draw two long, vertical lines that slope inward a bit for the sides of the flower pot. Draw a curved, horizontal line at the bottom. You can stop here if you'd like for a pot with a single tulip.
Step 9: To the left of the flower at the top, draw a U-shaped line for the base of another tulip. Tilt the U-shaped line a bit so that it has a diagonal orientation.
Step 10: Inside the U-shaped line, draw a long, curved line for the first tulip petal. Close to the right edge, draw a curved line with a pointy tip for another petal. Add three more pointy tips for the tops of the other flower petals.
Step 11: Draw two sloping lines under the flower for the stem.
Step 12: Below the stem, draw a long , curved line for the first part of the leaf. Draw another curved line underneath to complete the triangular shape of the folded leaf.
Step 13: Draw a vertical line to finish this leaf and draw a couple more lines at the top for another leaf behind the stem.
Step 14: On the top, right side, draw another U- shaped line for the last tulip flower.
Step 15: Inside the U shape, draw two curved lines for the side petals. At the top, draw three pointy lines for the tips of the other petals.
Step 16: Under the tulip, draw two long, sloping lines for the stem.
Step 17: Below the stem, draw a folded leaf using a couple of long, curved lines. This leaf is made up of two long, sloping lines with an angled line at the top for the folded tip.
Step 18: Behind the stem, draw two long, curved lines that come to a point for another leaf. Below the leaves, on the sides, draw two short, horizontal lines for the back edge of the flower pot.
Step 19: Using a pen or marker, carefully go over the lines to make your tulip drawing permanent. After inking, get rid of every pencil mark with an eraser.
Final Step: Color the flowers using any color you'd like. For this look, use pink. Color the stems and leaves green or yellow-green. Use orange for the flower pot. Don't forget to pause the video after each step to draw at your own pace.
