Like any other plant, spruce propagates by seed. But getting to them is not so easy. Spruce seeds remain in the cone until a certain time, which is a reliable natural strength for them.
It is necessary
- Paper,
- pencil,
- eraser,
- paints.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide on which section of the paper you want to depict the spruce seeds. To display all the features of the seed, select a large enough area for the drawing.
Draw an acute-angled triangle with a pencil. Then erase the corners of the triangle with the eraser, leaving the main lines intact. Connect the lines together with rounded jumpers. If you've ever seen pine nuts, it will be easier for you to imagine the seed of a spruce. Paint the resulting shape with a dark brown color. Add volume with a smudge of brown paint in the middle of the seed. In the brown area, draw small dark brown spots and stripes of different shapes. Thus, you will depict a rough surface.
Step 2
Spruce seeds in botanical publications are called lionfish. They got this name because of their structure and method of distribution. Seeds are spread over large areas thanks to the dry pterygoid pericarp. The wind picks up the seed by this light part and carries it long distances. To depict the pericarp, add a petal detail to the element drawn earlier. An example is the petal of a chamomile or a common tulip. Tint the pericarp with light brown or light green paint. Its color depends on how long ago the seeds were released from the spruce cone. Highlight the free edge of the pericarp with a flesh color. Draw many fine lines with the same paint. The lines should be parallel to the long side of the pericarp.
Step 3
Spruce seeds are located on the inside of the seed scales of the cone. Draw two seeds close to each other. The pericarp of the seed should point upwards. Draw a petal-shaped scale so that it feels like the seeds are lying on its surface. Paint the flake with light brown paint. Then shade with vertical brown lines.
