Draw a poinsettia from the middle outward: a cluster of small round buds, a star of pointed bracts, a larger star behind it in the gaps, and a few green leaves underneath.
Build a lily from a cone and a six-pointed star guide, draw three petals and then three more behind, and finish with curled tips, long stamens and lance-shaped leaves.
Draw an angular, tapering branch, mark the clusters with circles, then build five-petal blossoms with notched tips and fine stamens, mixing front views, side views and buds.
Plan a meadow strip with a ground line and stems of varied heights, mark the flower heads with simple shapes, then add daisies, a poppy, bells, spikes and long grass.
Draw a lavender sprig from one curved stem, a narrow tapered guide and small teardrop buds in stacked rings, then cross several sprigs at a tie point to make a bunch.
Build a poppy from a tilted bowl shape, add two front petals and the back ones behind them, then finish with fine fold lines, a ribbed seed pod and a ring of stamens.
Draw the classic long-stemmed rose in profile. Build the bloom from a cup sitting in a shallow bowl, then add sepals, a curved stem, hooked thorns and a leaf of five toothed leaflets.
A rosebud is a teardrop on a stem with two overlap lines and narrow sepals. Follow the steps for a tight bud, then widen it into a half-open rose with a spiral at the top.
Draw an open rose from the inside out: a light circle and a small oval heart, a tight spiral, three wrapping petals, a middle ring and wide outer petals with rolled edges.
