Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Draw the First Two Petals
Draw a broad rounded petal at the upper left. Add another above the center, leaving their inner ends open. Place one short inward-facing crease inside each petal.
Pro Tip: Leave plenty of empty space below for the stem.
Step 2: Add Two Right Petals
Draw a rounded petal extending toward the upper right. Add another below it and place a short crease inside each.
Pro Tip: Let the two petals meet at a small inward dip.
Step 3: Complete the Bloom and Center
Draw the remaining petal at the lower left with a short crease. Add a large circular center joining the petals’ inner ends.
Pro Tip: Keep the center large enough to hold a simple face.
Step 4: Draw a Smiling Face
Add two small oval eyes inside the flower’s center. Give each eye a curved inner detail and a tiny highlight. Draw a small upward-curving smile beneath the eyes.
Pro Tip: Place the smile halfway between the eyes and the circle’s bottom.
Step 5: Extend the Stem
Draw two long, gently bending lines beneath the bloom. Join them at the bottom with a short rounded curve.
Pro Tip: Keep the two stem edges close together along their length.
Step 6: Add Two Leaves
Draw a pointed leaf extending from each side of the lower stem. Add one curved central vein inside each leaf.
Pro Tip: Aim both leaf tips outward and slightly upward.
Step 7: Color in your drawing!
