How To Draw a Simple Flower (5 Easy Steps)

Learn to Draw a Flower in 5 Easy to Follow Steps

Learn how to draw a simple flower in 5 easy steps. This beginner-friendly tutorial breaks flower drawing down into basic shapes so anyone can follow along.

and that’s because…

I’ve been working for years to develop a simple method to make drawing a flower easy as pie. So even you can learn how to draw a flower!

Step 1: Draw a Circle

Every drawing starts with simple shapes. This one is no different. Drawing a circle is the first step to drawing a flower. Big, small, doesn’t really matter. This will be the center of the flower. So, keep that in mind while you’re drawing it.

Step 2: Draw the Flower Petals

Time to turn this circle into a drawing of a flower. To do this we’ll draw some petals around the circle. Remember, they don’t have to be perfect. Give this flower character by adding a little wabi-sabi.

Step 3: Draw a Stem

Draw a stem coming out the bottom of the flower. Make it as long or as short as you want to. I drew mine a little bent but you can draw it straight if that’s what you’re into.

Step 4: Draw the Leaf

Draw an oval that overlaps the stem. This gives our flower the ability to photosynthesize. You can draw as many or as little as you like. I went with one leaf.

Step 5: Add the Flower Details

As usual, scratch it up. This is my favorite step. Do whatever you want on this step. This is your chance to get creative and make it yours. If you’re not a fan of the look you can skip it entirely.

Bonus Step: Color and Shade the Flower

If you’ve got time add some color to this flower drawing. I went with a simple daisy, but you can go as crazy as you want with the colors.
