Drawing Supplies Needed
You can use any drawing supplies to draw a daisy, but here are the best tools for drawing.
Step 1
Start with a circle.
Step 2
At the top of the circle, we’re going to make an elongated oval shape.
Step 3
Now place a slightly curved line through the oval, this will be the style of petals we use.
Step 4
Now, repeat that shape all around the circle, but don’t pack them too closely together!
Step 5
In the spaces between the first layer of petals, we’re going to add the next layer by filling the gaps with curved arcing lines.
Step 6
Add the lines to the second layer of petals.
Step 7
In the middle of the circle make a much smaller circle.
Step 8
Make a ring circled around the first circle.
Step 9
Repeat those rings of circles getting smaller as you move outwards to the edges.
Step 10
Now, pick a corner between two petals and draw a line downward with a slight bend.
Step 11
Repeat that same line a bit offset from the first one to create the stem.
Step 12
Color in the stem, middle circle, and edges of the petals on the second layer to make your daisy have depth!
