Steps
Use your permanent black marker for steps 2 to 9. Use the watercolor highlighters after all the black lines are done in step 10.
- Practice drawing the teapot and the rose in the app using a stylus
- Draw the teapot first. Draw the teapot to fill the sketchbook page.
- Draw roses. Draw a number of roses on the teapot. Adding a partial rose near an edge gives it the illusion of being 3-D.
- Draw leaves on the handle.
- Draw ribbons between roses.
- Draw ribbons on the spout.
- Fill the background of the body with stripes
- Fill the teapot cover with rows of semi-circles
- Add curved stripes to the lid’s ball handle
- Color the drawing from top to bottom so it doesn’t smudge.
