When I begin, I try to simplify things. I noticed that they have 5 petals that are regularly spaced. If you draw a line down the middle of each petal, these &#8220;lines&#8221; would occur every 72 degrees&#8211;a circle has 360 degrees, and 360 \/ 5 = 72. Of course, we don&#8217;t have to be that exact. It is just useful to makes these types of observations. Then I just made a quick sketch trying to capture the basic shapes of the flower. If you look at a lot of hibiscus pictures on the Internet, you&#8217;ll notice special characteristics of different species. Start with the basic shape, and then modify it from there! Below is my quick sketch. I&#8217;ve left my construction lines (guide lines) in so that you can see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/integrativewellnessandmovement.com\/surfsnowandsky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200320_195648-893x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-356\" width=\"327\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/integrativewellnessandmovement.com\/surfsnowandsky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200320_195648-893x1024.jpg 893w, https:\/\/integrativewellnessandmovement.com\/surfsnowandsky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200320_195648-262x300.jpg 262w, https:\/\/integrativewellnessandmovement.com\/surfsnowandsky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200320_195648-768x880.jpg 768w, https:\/\/integrativewellnessandmovement.com\/surfsnowandsky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200320_195648-1340x1536.jpg 1340w, https:\/\/integrativewellnessandmovement.com\/surfsnowandsky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/20200320_195648-1786x2048.jpg 1786w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><figcaption>Rough sketch with construction lines.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Download these free PDF templates (free for personal use; please do not resell or repackage for sale).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Hibiscus, large template.
