![Draw an arc How to draw a tulip: draw an arc](/f/c49751cb7bcecedebaa6882afcd63907.jpg)
Round the ends of the line slightly to the sides.
![Round off the ends of the line How to draw a tulip: round the ends of the line](/f/7274d0ff22c177086c4fe289d82fff74.jpg)
Round the line from the left edge. Bring it to about the middle of the arc, rounded to the left.
![Draw the left petal How to draw a tulip: draw the left petal](/f/3364fe13240240db40ea2744b0f05667.jpg)
Draw the right petal in the same way, stopping the line at the border of the left.
![Draw the right petal How to draw a tulip: draw the right petal](/f/50ad58f10ba78b7c65d6b72cb656700e.jpg)
Draw a small arc between the petals - the outline of the central petal.
![Mark the center petal How to draw a tulip: outline the center petal](/f/7bab97fa97d9a962aa263a1e884bdc17.jpg)
Add a small tip of another petal between the center and right shapes. Draw a smooth winding line down from the top of the central petal, and next to it, draw another one, almost the same.
![Draw the bud How to draw a tulip: add a bud](/f/9e660c036ce9ecaff2a878902ad82b2a.jpg)
Draw two parallel lines down from the flower - the stem of the tulip. Connect them at the bottom.
![Add the stem How to draw a tulip: add a stem](/f/91bcfd2cb923342bd03daef3fd17bc8c.jpg)
Draw a smooth line up from the lower right edge of the stem. Draw another rounded one above it and finish it at the beginning of the first one.

From the edge of the first line, draw down another curved line and draw it to the bottom of the stem - you get a leaf.
![Draw the right leaf How to draw a tulip: finish the right leaf](/f/bca8afffc341583d297507ad88702655.jpg)

How to draw a tulip
Draw the outline of the bud as a deep arc at a slight angle. From above, connect its ends with two arcuate lines so that you get an oval pointed at the edges.
![Mark the rest of the petals How to draw a tulip: outline the rest of the petals](/f/dce4933f469743e684ff59da7e2d216a.jpg)
Draw a rounded line down from the middle of the lower edge of the oval. Add another one at the edge of the bud. Connect the edges of the resulting petal from above.
![Add a petal How to draw a tulip: add a petal](/f/89e3f99d5b32771683802fe3a08cde07.jpg)
To the left of the petal, draw a short smooth line crossing the oval. Draw a small line from it inside the oval. Mark the edges of the other petal in the middle. Draw a small corner at the top right.
![Mark the rest of the petals How to draw a tulip: outline the rest of the petals](/f/dce4933f469743e684ff59da7e2d216a.jpg)
At the bottom, draw a thin, curved stem. To the left of it, add a long, curving line: start almost at the edge of the bud and end at the bottom of the stem. Finish the tip of the leaf, slightly going over the stem. In the lower left part of it, add volume by painting on a line rounded at the bottom.
![Draw the stem and the left leaf. How to draw a tulip: draw the stem and the left leaf](/f/c5f4f89312a058bc0a2caaacaf2cc30c.jpg)
To the right of the stem, draw a narrow, smaller leaf with a sharp tip.
![Draw the right leaf How to draw a tulip: draw the right leaf](/f/f76a1669830a3e88ce53e9f91835c88e.jpg)
Color the bud with a light orange color. Use a bright orange felt-tip pen to paint over the right outermost petal and the inner tip of the left. Use the same color to paint the bottom of the front and left petals, as shown in the photo. Add color to the left side of the back petal and the top right side of the left.
![Paint the bud orange How to draw a tulip: paint the bud orange](/f/870eba06172e2f6f0b79dd084f6727a6.jpg)
With a red felt-tip pen, trace the left edge of the front petal until it intersects with the left. Use the same color to paint the lower part of the left petal and add some red strokes just above. Trace the upper right outline of the same petal.
![Add red on the left side of the flower Add red on the left side of the flower](/f/a7319d828e76f9fa9dacda6550442516.jpg)
Color the right petal red. Lightly paint over the back petal. Draw a dashed vertical line in the middle of the front petal and add a few strokes to the sides of it. Color in the bottom of this petal.
![Add red on the right side of the flower Add red on the right side of the flower](/f/3bfccd790ae4f2a07225606297102d0e.jpg)
Use a colorless marker to blur the colors a little, as shown in the video below. Go especially carefully over the back and right petals, as well as the bottom of the entire bud. Try to achieve smooth color transitions.
![Go over the drawing with a colorless marker How to draw a tulip: go over the drawing with a colorless marker](/f/2450eb7ae824c9e6e1e02408db94b829.jpg)
Add orange to the top of the front and left petals. Lightly circle their joints again with a red felt-tip pen. If necessary, blur the colors again with a colorless marker.
![Draw the bud Draw the bud](/f/5a36c16d2273df54f67852c9ab4ad283.jpg)
Paint over the stem and the front of the left leaf with light green. Color the base of the bud, the top right edge of the stem, and the bottom of the left leaf with dark green. Lightly blur the colors.
![Color the stem and part of the leaf How to draw a tulip: paint the stem and part of the leaf](/f/3239d5107a1778cf4f5b28fc2df30b8b.jpg)
Color the entire left leaf with light green. At the bottom, next to the stem, add a dark green color and draw some lines on top. Blur the colors with a marker. Add another shade of green at the top and bottom - between light and dark green.
![Draw the left leaf How to draw a tulip: finish the left leaf](/f/af0bbaf9c72f7a77919d2c0d738e03d9.jpg)
