How to Draw A Daffodil Doodle
Follow along with our easy Daffodil doodle tutorial. Simply follow each step by drawing the part of the doodle in GREEN.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide where you want your daffodil doodle on the page and start by drawing the top of your daffodils corona (the trumpet like shape). This is an oval shape with a curved or frilly edge.
Step 2
Next, draw the bottom of the corona with a curved shape.
Step 3
To create texture, next add some lines to the shape you created in step 1.
Step 4
Now draw the stamen of your Daffodil in the center of the corona.
Step 5
The petals are next. Did you know a daffodil has six petals? Start by drawing the two top petals, hiding the first slightly behind the corona to add depth to your doodle. Each petal should come to a point at the end.
Step 6
Then draw the next two petals. I made the tip of the third petal look turned up slightly to create a 3D effect, you can copy this or leave it plain.
Step 7
Next, add the last two petals. Hide that last petal behind the corona.
Step 8
Time to draw the stem next. You can also add leaves here if you like. Daffodil leaves are thin and quite straight.
Step 9
The last step is to have fun and color your Daffodil drawing. You can add different tones of yellow, white and even orange.
