Easy Steps to Draw a Flower

You don't need any special or expensive tools to make easy flower drawings A simple piece of paper and a regular pencil will do the work just fine..

Learn how to draw a beautiful flower by printing our step by step tutorial and follow these simple instructions using basic shapes:

Step 1

Start by drawing a triangle pointing downwards. This will be our first petal!

Step 2

The next step is to add three circles at the top – notice how the middle one is larger and the ones on each side are made of a smaller circle. Erase extra lines.

Step 3

Great! Now we have a petal. Repeat the process four more times to make a circle of flower petals. See how the outside of the flower petals appear like curvy lines once the extra lines are erased.

Step 4

Add a little circle to petal shapes.

Step 5

Now add a circle in the middle part. Erase extra lines. You now have the central part of the flower.

Step 6

It's time for details! Add a stem a the bottom by drawing a long line. Or a short line! You decide.

Step 7

You can add a leaf or two to the stem. Add little dots for simple shading or flower doodles.

Step 8

Get creative! Draw more different types of flowers with different details, different styles, different sizes to make a beautiful garden!
