Step-by-Step Instructions

Before you start, you will need:

• Paper
• Pencil

• Colored pencils or markers (optional)

Now, let’s get started:

1. Draw a circle in the center of your paper. This will be the center of the sunflower.
2. Draw petals around the circle. Make sure to make them uneven in size and shape to create a natural look.
3. Add more layers of petals around the first layer, making them bigger and wider as you go.
4. Erase the circle in the center of the flower, as it is no longer needed.
5. Draw the stem and leaves below the flower.
