Sunflower Line Drawing

This big beautiful sunflower needs a sturdy stem to hold it up. A single line just isn’t enough. Two parallel lines that diverge slightly as they near the bottom of the sunflower create a sturdy stem. Study the leaves on your real sunflower or your reference image. Construct the center of your sunflower sketch. Before we begin the construction steps, we have a quick note about how to draw the construction lines. If you are using a physical medium, we suggest using a very light and easily erasable pencil. For digital drawing mediums, draw the construction lines on a separate layer, so that you can. Begin by outlining the center part of the sunflower by drawing a circle. Be sure to position it in a way where you still have some room for the petals above and plenty of room for the stem and leaves below.
