Flower Drawing – Step by Step

Flower 1

Let’s start off with this very simple two petal flower drawing, that is only a few steps. A cute dainty flower that looks nice and can be very decorative on a page.

Step 1

Start off with a simple stem, make it nice and curvy towards the top and not too rigid.

step 2

Draw in small little leaves at the top of the stem. The leaves should be going in different directions, two facing upwards and one facing down.

step 3

The final step is to draw in two big petals to form the side of the flower and you are done!

Flower 2

Next up is a daisy style very rounded flower, with lots of petals. Another simple and easy one to draw in a few steps. This flower will look great colored in yellow or any bright color.

Step one

Start off with a nice curvy stem again.

step two

Draw in a round circle for the centre of the flower. This will be where the petals take shape. Be sure to not make it too far away from the stem, otherwise the petals will be too long.

step three

Start to work in the petals around the centre. Turn your sketchbook around as you go, as this can help with the petals being in different directions.

step three

Fill in the rest of the petals behind the front petals to make the flower nice and rounded, and there you have your completed flower drawing.

Flower 3

Another pretty five petal flower with a big leaf. This reminds me of a summers day big and bright.

step one

Start off with a simple stem and a little stem for the leaf going out towards the left.

step two

Draw a big leaf shape on the stem and a line going through the leaf to give it some character.

step two

Draw a little centre just above the stem, but don’t make it too rounded to give it some shape.

step three

Draw in the five petals around the centre. Don’t be too perfect with the lines and let them be a bit wavy. It’s what makes this flower!

step four

Finish up by doing a few lines inside the petals and there you have it.

Flower 4

Next up is this lopsided flower, just to give some variety into the mix.

Step one

Start off with a mid size stem, and draw in two lone leaves on either side of the stem.

step two

Draw an upside-down wavy centre for the middle of the flower.

step three

Finish off by drawing four long petals going from the centre to the stem and you are done.

Flower 5

Next up is this little decorative flower, another simple flower drawing but looks really nice.

Step one

Draw a long stem with two leaves pointing upwards.

step two

Draw in the little leaf shapes just above the stem.

Step three

Next up is the three small petals just above the stem.

step four

Lastly draw in the little details, like the lines inside of the petals and leaves, and in between the petals.

Flower 6

This flower looks complex but I promise it’s not! Let’s take a look at it step by step.

Step one

Start of with the simple stem and two mini stems going out from the main stem.

step two

Lets start to give the flower a bit of shape by drawing in the first rounded petal. The other two petals will work around this petal.

step three

Draw in the next two petals around the last petal.

step four

Draw the little stems going out of the main stem, two batches on each side.

step five

Draw in the spikey leaf shapes on the side stems.

step six

Finish up by drawing in the details inside and on the petals.

Flower 7

Next up are these spring ‘bell’ style flowers.

Step one

As usual start off with the stem and stems on either side of the main stem.

step two

Draw in the three ‘bell’ flowers with pointy petals.

step three

Create striped lines inside the flowers for the detail.

Step four

Lastly draw in the leaves, but make sure they are rounded at the top edges.

Flower 8

Here we have another full on flower with a few buds and leaves.

step one

Start off with a thicker stem and two thinner stems growing out from that. Then draw a smaller bud to from where the little petals will grow from.

step two

Next draw out the leaves on each of the stems.

step three

Draw on the lines for the leaves and just above the stem and draw two little petals on the small bud. Just above the stem, draw a small circle.

Step four

Bringing the flower to life, draw five big sized petals around the centre.

step five

Finish up by drawing in lines from the centre to give it the extra details.

Flower 9

Another pretty flower, similar to the one before and has lots of character.

step one

Draw the simple stems of the flower.

step two

Next up is the small leaves coming out of the stems.

step three

Next is the small leaves around the bud and then draw the bud in between those leaves.

step four

Draw the centre and fill it in.

step five

Draw out the five petals of the flower, be sure to draw in one petal behind to give it a quirky look.

step six

Finish up by drawing in the lines on the petals to bring it all together!

Flower 10

Last up is this gorgeous daffodil drawing in just four easy steps.

step one

Draw in a stem, with the second stem curling into the main one.

step two

Next draw out the starting points of the buds, make them nice and pointy.

step three

Now it’s time to draw out the main flower with the petals coming out. Take your time with this to make it right. Start off from the bottom of the flower and work your way up to the main petals.

step four

Finish up by drawing in the lines on the flowers to give it the finished look and there you have your lovely daffodil!
