Steps To Draw A Sunflower

The Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a living annual plant in the family Asteraceae, with a large flower head (capitulum). The steam of the flower can grow up to 3 metres tall, with a flower head that can be 30 cm wide. Other types of Sunflowers include the California Royal Sunflower, which has a burgundy (red + purple) flower head.

The flower head is actually an inflorescence made of hundreds or thousands of tiny flowers called florets. The central florets look like the centre of a normal flower. The benefit to the plant is that it is very easily seen by the insects and birds which pollinate it, and it produces thousands of seeds.

To grow well, sunflowers need full sun. They grow best in fertile, wet, well-drained soil with a lot of mulch. In commercial planting, seeds are planted 45 cm (1.5 ft) apart and 2.5 cm (1 in) deep.

Follow the steps below to easily draw a sunflower.

Step 1

We are starting by making two straight lines from pencil as in the drawing and adding a small circle at the top of the straight line as drawn below. ( Roughly )

Step 2

Now again draw a circle at the same point as in step 1. And draw a small (circle or oval) shape, one at the top of the sunflower’s head and one at the opposite side of the head and repeat the same steps two times in different angles as in the drawing. (Fairly)

Step 3

Then, now again repeat the same step as in (Step 2) on all the sides. Or We can say fill the remaining hair of the Sunflower, which is ready to shine. ( Fairly )

Step 4

Then, now it’s time to make the body of the Sunflower, draw a curve line in the straight line which we have drawn in (Step1) with the two leaves on it. You can also add more leaves according to your choice. ( Fairly )

Step 5

Now erase the rough lines which we have drawn in (Step 1).

Step 6

Lastly, now for the best part of drawing the sunflower, draw a Happy Smiling face as in the drawing and at the hair of the Sunflower make a small line as in the drawing. Finally now the Sunflower is ready to shine.

Colouring a Sunflower

After the drawing of the Sunflower is completed we move forward with colouring the Flower. For colouring, we had chosen some basic colours. You can fill colour according to our wish too.
