You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Attach the lotus petals to the center. To do so, use two curved lines, allowing them to meet at a sharp point at the top. The bottom should be flat or round like a teardrop shape.
Step 2
Draw a second petal extending from one side of the first. Again, use two curved lines, meeting at a sharp point at the top.
Step 3
Draw the third petal by extending two curved lines over the first, so that the lines meet at a sharp point.
Step 4
Draw more petals on the back of the flower, visible between the previous petals. Again, use two lines for each, allowing them to meet in points.
Step 5
Draw the lower petals of the flower. To do so, extend three sets of curves outward from the bottom of the flower. Allow lines to meet at points.
Step 6
Draw more petals between the existing upper petals, using two curved lines for each.
Step 7
Draw more lower petals emerging from the back of the flower. Then detail some of the petals by drawing lines of different lengths from their base. This adds depth to the flower.
Step 8
Draw the anther, or pollen-producing structure inside the flower. For each anther, extend two short, parallel lines from the center of the flower. Enclose the lines by drawing a circle at the top.
Step 9
Draw the environment of flowers. Draw a slightly curved horizon line passing behind the flower. Draw a lily pad underneath it by enclosing an irregular circle. Draw a few more lily pieces, each of which is an irregular circle like a cake with a slice from it. Detail the lily pads using short and curved lines. Then, draw wavy, horizontal lines of varying lengths around the lily to represent ripples in the water.
Step 10
Color your lotus. In nature, lotus flowers can be white, red, pink, purple, yellow, or a combination of these colors.
