How to Draw an Azalea
Draw an azalea in 12 easy steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the big flower.
Step 1: The big flower
Near the top of your paper draw a flower of 5 plump round petals, one pointing straight up.
Tip Azalea petals are soft and round, like a trumpet seen from the front.
Step 2: Middle and stamens
Draw a small middle circle. From its top, draw 3 lines up the top petal, each ending in a dot.
Step 3: Speckles
On the top petal, around the 3 lines, draw 3 tiny red dots.
Step 4: The twig
Start under the big flower. Draw a twig of 2 close lines down to near the bottom of the paper.
Step 5: Left flower
From the twig, under the flower, draw a short stalk to the left. Put a smaller flower on its end.
Tip Keep it apart from the big flower, with just 1 petal tucked behind it.
Step 6: Right flower
Draw a short stalk out to the right with another small 5-petal flower on its end.
Step 7: Two leaves
Draw a pointed leaf from the twig on the left, a lower one on the right, each with a vein.
Step 8: Ground and grass
Draw a long ground line through the bottom of the twig. Add 2 grass blades on each side.
Step 9: Yellow middles
Colour the 3 little middles yellow.
Step 10: Pink petals
Colour the petals of the big flower pink, around its yellow middle and the red dots.
Step 11: More pink petals
Colour the petals of the 2 small flowers pink too, around their middles.
Step 12: Brown twig, green leaves
Colour the twig brown and both leaves green. Go over your lines and your azalea is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: an azalea, drawn by you.
