How to Draw a Bluet
Draw a bluet in 11 easy steps, about 8 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 middle.
Step 1: The middle
Near the top draw a small circle for the middle of the flower, about as big as a plum.
Step 2: Eyes and a smile
Halfway down the circle draw 2 big egg eyes with black dots. Add a wide U smile under them.
Step 3: Four fat petals
Start on the circle's top. Draw a fat petal up and back down to it. Repeat down, left and right.
Tip Four petals like a plus sign, each as long as the middle is wide.
Step 4: The stem
From the bottom petal draw 2 gently bending lines down to near the bottom, a little wider apart there.
Step 5: Two buds
Under the petals, curve 2 stalks out from the stem. End each with an egg bud in a little cup.
Step 6: Two leaves
A hand below the petals draw a fat leaf on each side of the stem, pointing out and up.
Step 7: Leaf veins
From the stem draw one gently curved vein out through each leaf, stopping just short of the tip.
Step 8: Ground and grass
Draw a ground line across the bottom, stopping near each edge. Add 2 grass blades each side of the stem.
Step 9: Yellow middle
Colour the middle yellow, going round the eyes and 2 small cheek spots. Keep the eyes white.
Step 10: Sky blue petals
Colour all 4 petals and the 2 buds sky blue.
Step 11: Pink cheeks, green stem
Colour the cheek spots pink. Colour the stem, leaves and bud cups green, then go over your lines!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a bluet, drawn by you.
