You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
For the first step in learning how to draw a sunflower, we will start with a very simple step. To get started, just draw a small circle.
The circle doesn’t have to be perfect, so you can use the pen to draw it freely.
Step 2
Draw in the next circle
Once you have drawn your first small circle, you can draw another circle around it. This figure will be much larger and as you can see in the reference image, it is not a perfect circle either.
It is made up of many small curves to make the center of your sunflower drawing look more like the center of a real sunflower.
Step 3
Next, draw at the top of the petals

For the third step of how to draw sunflowers, you will start drawing the petals.
Using the reference image as a guide here will be helpful as you draw some thin triangles along the outer edge of the sunflower’s center.
You should do your best to make sure they are the same length and size if you can as you go around the circle.
Step 4
Now draw some more petals
Your sunflower drawing is starting to take shape! For this next step, just draw some sharp points between the gaps of each petal that we drew earlier as you can see in the image.
This will give the petals more volume and make the sunflower look much fuller.
Step 5
Next, you will add details to the center
In the next step of this sunflower drawing tutorial, we will keep it simple. For this step, just add some dots to the inner circle of the sunflower center.
This will give your sunflower painting a texture like you would see on a real sunflower.
Step 6
Next, you will add more details about the center
Now that you’ve added some details to the centerpiece, you can add some nice details to the rest of the centerpiece.
As you can see in the picture, we will draw some curves that look like a half circle. Try to add a small amount of these small lines to the outer circle for a more amazing texture!
Step 7
Now draw the petal details
The center of your sunflower drawing at this point looks really nice, so now we’re going to add some detail to the petals!
To do this, just add some lines on both the inner and outer petals as you can see in the reference image. This will again add some lovely texture to your sunflower’s look.
Step 8
Add to your flower stalks
Every sunflower needs a stem, so we’ll start adding that in step eight of this sunflower tutorial.
Step 9
Now let’s draw the leaves
To add these, you can use lots of curves and straight lines to recreate the shape of the leaves in the reference image.
Remember that each leaf will have a thin stem emerging from the main stem of your sunflower painting.
Step 10
Now finish it with some color
Your sunflower drawing is now complete and I bet it looks amazing! Your drawing only needs one more thing to complete and that’s some pretty colors!
Sunflowers are known for their bright and striking colors, so this will be a beautiful canvas to admire once you’ve added your color.
You can use a variety of mediums for coloring in your drawings to create some amazing colors.
Combining different media like acrylic paints, watercolors, crayons and pencils, each medium can bring a beautiful new color element to your painting.
