For many people, creativity is the main meaning of life. People strive for self-expression through music, poetry and, of course, drawing. If you are far from art, but want to join it, this article is just for you. Today we will tell you how to draw an aster in different techniques and on different materials.

Drawing with a pencil

First of all, you need to outline the outline of the flower. Thus, it will be possible to immediately arrange the branch on the sheet. And how to draw an aster next? The next step is to outline the opened flowers and buds. There will be 5 asters on our branch. Four of them are fully opened, and the fifth is in bud. We immediately outline the leaves, because the flowers will overlap them. We draw branches. And then draw the leaves of an elongated needle shape. We divide each of them into two parts. One of them is shadow, so we shade it.

Let's move on to flowers. How to draw an aster with a pencil? This flower resembles a chamomile. We start drawing from the core. And then we draw the elongated petals. Remember that astersare different: with needle and round leaves. You can’t mix them, since we are drawing one branch. We draw individual leaves in the bud, and draw the greens from below. Our sketch is ready. Optionally, you can darken some of the petals.

Drawing an aster with watercolors

And again we start with the layout. How to draw an aster in watercolor? We outline one flower. It will be half-opened, thus making a beautiful contrast between the purple aster and the green. The flower is outlined in a semicircle. In the middle of it we make a core and draw petals from it. All of them will be directed in one direction, in the upper right corner. The petals of the handle will be small and they should increase towards the center.

When the sketch is ready, we move on to the watercolor image of the aster flower. You can draw it with any paint, in our case it will be a stretch of purple and green. First of all, we outline the yellow core and let the paint dry. Then fill the whole flower with light purple paint, and immediately mark the leaves and twig with light green paint.

When the first layer is dry, with a saturated color of the same colors, we pass over the aster again. We emphasize the base of the petals with dark paint, but leave the tops light. The situation is different with leaves. The foreground is worked out in dark green, but the background is not touched, it will remain light.

We draw asters on fabric

The image on paper is not always realistic, but often. And here is the drawingfabrics cannot be made photographic. How to draw an aster on fabric? This art is called batik. The drawing is applied with special paints on silk. We stretch the fabric on the stretcher and proceed to creativity. First of all, we draw the outline of the flower. Aster petals do not have to be straight, they can be bizarrely bent in all directions. And since we depict on one branch, but a clearing, our flowers can be varied. For example, some will have needle-like leaves, others will be drawn rounded or, in general, in the form of strings. Having drawn the contour with a reserve, we begin to fill it with paint. In our case, we used purple to create an effect of believability, and most importantly, recognizability.

When the drawing is ready, it can be detailed. For example, draw dots, commas or bizarre geometric shapes. The main thing is that the background is not too conspicuous and does not distract attention from the colors.

Draw an aster on the body

Today it is fashionable to decorate the forearms, back or arms with various images. It can be either a tattoo or a drawing with paints or henna. We will tell you how to draw an aster in stages. First you need to outline the outline of flowers and leaves with a thin brush. Astra will be the center of the composition, so let's start with it. Let's draw a big circle, and in the center another circle, but smaller. Fill the middle of the flower with yellow, and immediately, before the paint is dry, add brown along the edge.

Draw purple petals. First, the first row, which is completely visible to us, and then the seconda row that is half hidden. At the base and at the ends we darken the petals, and in the middle we make a stretch to a light purple color. While the paint dries, we detail the center. Let's put small dots of brown paint and large dots of light yellow.

Detailing the petals. In the middle of each you need to draw a dash in dark purple or black. It remains to draw the leaves. Like a regular flower, they should have a kind of zigzag around the edges. To make the composition look more interesting, on the right we will have one large leaf and one small one. But on the left there should be three of them. One big and two small. Fill the leaves with dark green paint and quickly dilute it with white, but only along the edges of the zigzag. The final action is the image of the contour and the study of the veins in black.
