How to Start Drawing Your Daisy
The easiest way to begin is by drawing the center - it's almost perfectly circular, but with a bumpy edge. Make it really irregular, not zig-zagged. Then add the petals that are in front of others - the ones that you can see a complete outline of. Then add the ones that are tucked in behind those, such as the ones dotted in the example. Notice how the ends of some of the petals aren't pointy. Some will be perfectly flat, while some might be tilted slightly, so narrower, or even curled. Observe your photo and copy the shapes.If you're going to use a Paint program....
Because I was just sketching this daisy casually, I didn't worry too much about lines meeting perfectly or overlapping. If you want to color your drawing using a computer paint program, you'll want to make sure that your lines all meet up exactly, so they will contain the 'fills'. This is called closing your polygons - the polgyon is a shape with many sides - so each petal or part of the flower is a polygon that you need to enclose in order to fill it without painting the background the same color.
