If your students seem to always draw the same type of flower, a new “how to draw simple flowers” tutorial might give them some extra inspiration. For instance, daisies are very pretty, and easy to draw, but there are so many other possibilities. Flowers can have tulip shapes, circle shapes, extra sizes, extra layers of petals and fuzzy lines. The goal is to have a variety so students can have practice drawing all kinds of different lines, and filling them with lots of colors.
Once the flowers are traced with a permanent marker, this little white edge trick will not only make them look brighter, it will keep colors from running together. All you have to do, once the flowers have been filled in, is to remind students to not paint the blue to the edges of anything. If they leave a little “glow” around everything, their colors will all stay true and puddles should stay at a minimum.

How to Draw a Simple Flower
-
Draw the core of the flower. Depict one small circle, around which you will draw the petals in the next steps.
Add two petals. Above the drawn circle, depict two petals using curved lines of different sizes.
Sketch out two more petals. You need to draw two of the same petals as in the previous step, placing them at the bottom.
Depict the last two petals of the flower. To complete the flower petals, draw two more curved lines.
Draw the stem of the flower. Below the previously drawn outline of the flower, draw one slightly curved line.
Add the flower leaf. On the right side of the previously drawn stem, depict the leaf using arcs of different sizes.
Add another flower leaf. Now draw a leaf similar to the previously drawn one, placing it on the left side of the stem.
Add details. To make the flower look realistic, draw the veins inside the petals using wavy lines.
Color the drawing. I suggest you color this flower using pink, orange, and green.
