Drawn light
How to draw a hibiscus will be told in this article! Hibiscus, still known in our country under the name of Chinese rose, has long since changed its status from the purely indoor plant to the title one of the most fashionable, beautifully flowering crops for garden design. Surely many people have heard of the plant “Chinese rose”, but not everyone knows that it is one of the common species of hibiscus.
Hibiscus belongs to the mallow family (Malvaceae). In warm countries, there are many varieties of this plant growing right outside. It can be a small tree or an evergreen shrub. Hibiscus is honored as a sacred symbol in many nationalities, for example, in China, Malaysia, and India. Although the hibiscus is a “Southerner”, it is perfectly nestled in our homes. For indoor cultivation, the most commonly used are Chinese hibiscus, Syrian hibiscus, and dissected-petal hibiscus.
Hibiscus seedlings are now on sale almost as widely as various varieties of roses. At the same time, species of hibiscus are being actively replaced by hybrid hibiscus, which are able to overwinter in open soil even in the conditions of the middle zone. Growing garden hibiscus is not so easy, but all efforts and care and the choice of a suitable location and shelter will pay off with the unique sight of huge gramophones – flowers on the lush crown.
Hibiscus are mainly:
- Perennial for open soil with shelter;
- Annual plant;
- Perennial in cache form or with digging for the winter, which, with the onset of cold weather, is removed to light cool rooms.
In the last two variants, you can grow Chinese hibiscus, or Chinese rose (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), Syrian hibiscus (Hibiscus syriacus), swamp hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos), and herbaceous hibiscus triple, northern hibiscus (Hibiscus trionum).
But in this article we talked about drawing hibiscus in the most simple and understandable form!
For a general understanding, hibiscus is grown in the open ground, and then it overwinters without problems only two species—hibiscus hybrids and some varieties of hibiscus Syrian, which is often called a hibiscus garden. At the same time, Syrian hibiscus are not always tree-like shrubs, and hybrid hibiscus are herbaceous perennials.
The difference today between them is erased, because winter-hardy Syrian species also lend themselves to hybridization and are obtained selectively. Therefore, it is legitimate to assert that only hybrids can winter in the conditions of the middle strip in the soil, but the origin and specific species name are not as important as the form of growth – shrubby or herbaceous. When buying, it is more reasonable to focus on the nature of growth. Powerful root tubers of hybrid hibiscus are preserved under minimal shelter even in very hard frost, above-ground parts – only in woody and shrubby forms under shelter.
Let’s get to drawing the hibiscus right away!
Hibiscus Drawing Easy
Step 1
We start drawing the hibiscus (Chinese rose) by drawing the stem and the location and size of the flower itself.
Step 2
The next step in drawing a hibiscus is to outline the top of the petals.
Step 3
Then, we finish drawing the lower part of the petals and the stem leaves.
Step 4
At this stage of hibiscus drawing, we create the base of the large leaves of our plant.
Step 5
Next, we draw the outlines of the leaves and petals of the hibiscus in colored tones.
Step 6
Draw the top petals of the hibiscus with colored pencils.
Step 7
Color all the petals of the hibiscus in a carnelian color.
Step 8
Draw the stem in a light green color.
Step 9
Create the final bright-colored texture of our hibiscus.
