An easy flower drawing starts with three parts: a center, petals around it, and a stem with two leaves. This page has 36 simple flowers to copy that way, from a rose, a tulip and a daisy to a lotus, a hibiscus and a full bouquet.
Every flower is drawn in clear black lines, so you can copy it freehand, trace it or color it in. Each one has its own free download, and the PDF has all four flower sheets plus a practice page.

Classic Garden Flowers
These are the flowers everyone knows. Each one has a simple trick that makes it easy to recognize.
Spring and Meadow Flowers
Small wildflowers are forgiving: they look good even when the petals are a little uneven.
Tropical Flowers
Tropical flowers have bold shapes, so they look impressive with only a few lines.
Bouquets and Pots
Once you can draw single flowers, put a few together in a pot, a vase or a bouquet.
How to draw a flower step by step
- Draw the center. A small circle for a daisy or sunflower, a spiral for a rose, a cup for a tulip.
- Add the first petals. Draw four petals like the points of a compass: top, bottom, left and right.
- Fill the gaps. Add a petal between each pair so the flower looks even.
- Draw the stem. Use one gentle curve; a straight stem looks stiff.
- Add two leaves. A pointed oval on each side of the stem, with a line down the middle.
Your turn: the practice page
The practice page has six empty boxes with a light dot grid. Pick six ideas from this page, draw one in each box and write its name on the line.
Tips for drawing flowers
- Draw lightly in pencil first, then go over the best lines with a black pen.
- Petals do not have to match. Small differences make a flower look natural.
- Look for the detail that makes each flower special: the trumpet of a daffodil, the spiral of a rose.
- Color the petals from the center outward, pressing lighter toward the tips.
