Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below

You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below

Step 1

Start by drawing two curved lines. The lines should cross each other, descending towards each other. This starts the flower’s petals.

Step 2

Continue sketching the petals. For each one, extend a curved line outward, then duplicate it towards the center of the flower. Repeat on each side to form a mirror image.

Step 3

Orchids have three extra petals, called sepals. Draw the first one with a curved line to enclose the space between and above the existing petals. Then draw two sepals below, using a curved line for each.

Step 4

Next, you will draw the column or center of the flower. First, draw a circle, leaving a hole in the bottom. Curve the lines down around this hole. Below this, enclose an irregular shape, again exposing the bottom and extending a set of parallel lines from it. Remove guide lines as necessary.

Step 5

Next, you will draw the orchid’s label or lips. Enclose an irregular curved shape, almost triangular, around the bottom of the column. This will fill in the space between the petals, completely enclosing the flower.

Step 6

Next, you will draw the flower stalk. From each side of the column, enclose a curved, irregular shape. Repeat to form a mirror image on each side.

Step 7

Add details to your flower. Texture the petals and sepals with curves. Draw lines along the length of each throat section and draw dots in the lower part of the column, called the stigma surface.

Step 8

Extend two curved lines down from the flower, forming the stem.

Step 9

From the trunk, extend a pair of narrowly spaced curves. From these, extend three lines that meet at a sharp point. This forms the leaf with its veins.

Step 10

Color your orchid. Orchids are very diverse and come in many colors. The most common varieties are pink, white, or purple, but they can also be yellow, red, blue, green, or a combination of these colors.
