1-We start our Dogwood branch with the flowers. Remember the circle exercise from a previous chapter? Use that here to place the blooms where they go.
2-After you are done, add the flowers within the circles, and erase the circles.
3-Now, add the branches.
4-Add more flowers the same way you started in the first few steps.
5-Add the branches last.
6-The leaves here are teardrop-shaped. Draw the stems first where you see stems.
7-Add in the leaves without the stems.
Take this time to see if you’ve missed anything.
8-Draw the stem coming from the top of the branch.
9-Add your buds.
10-Add the leaves on the end.
11-Add curvy lines for the small flowers along the branch.
Take your time. It’s not a race. No one is timing you.
12-Add in the centers of the blooms. Some are teardrops and others are lines.
13-Color in the leaves first.
14-Use a purplish pick for the flowers, taking care to leave the ends white.
15-With a bright pink, fill in the dots and centers.
