How to Draw a Flower: step-by-step instructions

The new lines in each step are shown in red.

Step 1
Draw a circle near the top of the page. This is the center of your flower.
Step 2
Draw five big rounded petals around the circle, like the fingers of a hand.
Step 3
Add a second row of smaller petals peeking out between the first ones.
Step 4
Draw a long, slightly curved stem going down from the flower.
Step 5
Add two leaves on the stem, one on each side.
Step 6
Finish with a line on each petal and little dots in the center. Your flower is ready to color!
Now color it!
Color the front petals pink and the petals peeking out behind them red. The center is yellow with black dots, and the stem and leaves are green.

Tips for a better flower drawing

Draw lightly in pencil first so you can erase and fix the petals.
Keep the petals about the same size so the flower looks balanced.
Let the stem curve a little: perfectly straight stems look stiff.

Coloring your flower drawing

Once your drawing is finished, go over the pencil lines with a black marker or fine-liner and erase any leftover pencil. Then grab crayons, colored pencils or markers. Start with the biggest areas first and finish with the small details. Not sure which colors to use? Look at the colored example under the last step: it also prints on the steps page of the PDF.
