2. ​​​Extend a curved, wavy line from the flower's center. Curve the line around, bending it to form a point amid the jagged waves, and then reconnect the line to the opposite side of the oval. This forms the first petal. Then, extend another wavy line from the center, curving it to meet the side of the first petal. This encloses the flower's second petal. Finally, repeat this process on the opposite side of the first petal, forming the third petal.

6.​ ​​​​​​​Extend a pair of narrowly spaced, parallel lines upwards from the flower's center, forming the style. Erase as necessary. At the tip of the style, allow the lines to diverge. Draw a small "V" shaped line between them, and connect the lines at the end using small circles. Extend small, elongated ovals from the style. This forms the stigma, which, together with the style, is called the pistil.

Learn More About The Hibiscus Drawing

Hibiscus are showy, ornamental, brightly colored flowers. Most are tropical, but some can survive mild temperate winters.

They are treasured by gardeners, not only because of their large, colorful blooms, but also because they attract hummingbirds and butterflies.

In various cultures, the hibiscus plant has many uses, in addition to its ornamental beauty. The variety that grows in the Philippines is crushed and its juice mixed with soap to produce a bubble-blowing solution with which children play.

In Tahiti and Hawaii, hibiscus flowers are worn by young women in lieu of a wedding ring; single girls wear the flower behind the right ear, while married or dating women wear it on the left ear.

The hibiscus is frequently used in artwork as well. It is a symbol of several countries and regions, including Haiti, South Korea, Malaysia, the state of Hawaii, and the Solomon Islands. Yellow hibiscus is the official state flower of Hawaii, where it is also called the Hawaiian flower.
