Description: It was a very hot day yesterday, and because of the nice weather I wanted to make a few lessons on things that are related to summer. To start things off, lets learn "how to draw carnations", step by step. If you are one of those members that keep track of all the flower tutorials I do, you should already know that I submitted a lesson on just a carnation before. Carnations are very fragrant flowers that are not only very beautiful; they are also very colorful too. There is a color for every holiday that passes like red or pink carnations for Valentine’s Day, or green colored blooms for St. Patrick’s Day, and even white and yellow carnations for Easter. Drawing flowers is a great activity to do when you’re board because that is when you are at your most creative. Being creative means you will think up a bunch of ways to draw something and for a flower, I’m sure coloring it in will be the best part. Have fun drawing carnations everyone, and be sure to stick around Dragoart to see what else I have for ya’ll.
