How To Draw A Flower Step-By-Step Tutorial

Here are the simple step-by-step instructions for easy flower drawing tutorials! We are drawing a favorite flower, the daisy in this tutorial.

First things first, orient your paper vertically. This means the short end of your paper is at the top and bottom. This will allow for the flower drawing to take up most of the paper and the stem.

The first step is to start by drawing the center of the flower. Draw a small circle on the page.

The next step is to draw a flower petal off of the middle circle. You can make the flower petals whatever length, but I like to keep them around twice the size of the center circle. Starting in the middle of the first petals, draw another half petal. This will give the illusion that there are petals behind the other petals.

Continue to draw in your petals. Varying from full petals to half petals.

Drawing the Stem and Leaves

Finish with similar size petals all the way around the flower.

Next, add the stem off the bottom of the flower. This can be as long or as short as you want. We drew a straight line off the bottom petal to create the stem. This can be a different shape stem with a curvy stem too. If you are looking to add a flower pot at any point, you may want to make it a bit longer.

For the last step, we are adding leaves to your stems. Draw a line out from the middle of your stem, and then you can make your leaves a curved line basic shape like the petals, or a scalloped like we created above. An optional step is to add lines in your leaves if you feel you want them to have texture.
