How to draw a sunflower?
Begin by drawing a large oval,followed by a smaller one inside the first one.
Now see the picture to draw the petals around the smaller circle,keeping them within the line drawn for the outer circle.
Work on the rest of the petals in the similar manner.
You must have noticed how sunflowers have multiple layers of petals? So,it’s time to draw some partially visible petals behind the ones you just drew.
Next,carefully erase the circles and straight lines drawn for the outlines of your sunflower. Use the extended line below the flower to make the stalk.
See the picture to draw the simple leaf with its veins.
Check for any left out lines from the outline drawing and erase them to finish your sunflower.
Here comes the fun part as you will now fill the flower with the suitable shades of bright yellow,chocolate brown and green.
