How to Draw a Flower Basket
Draw a flower basket 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 rim.
Step 1: The rim
Start on the left, below the middle. Draw a wide flat oval for the rim and stop where you began.
Step 2: The basket
From the rim's left end, slope down and in, across the bottom, and back up to the right end.
Step 3: The handle
From the rim, draw a big fat handle arching up and over like a rainbow, left side to right side.
Step 4: The big flower
Under the top of the handle, draw a flower: a ring of 5 round petals with a little circle inside.
Step 5: Two more flowers
Lower down, one each side of the big flower, draw 2 smaller flowers in front of the handle.
Tip Rub out the bits of handle inside the petals.
Step 6: Two tulips
Between the flowers, draw 2 tulip cups: a U with 3 points on top, tucked behind the flowers.
Step 7: Leaves and stems
From the rim's front edge, draw stems up to the big flower and tulips. Add 2 pointed leaves poking out.
Step 8: Weave and ground
Draw 2 lines down the basket and a row of little bumps across it. Add a ground line underneath.
Step 9: Tan basket
Go over your lines. Colour the basket, rim and handle tan, around the flowers and leaves.
Step 10: Pink flowers, yellow middles
Colour the flower middles yellow and the 3 round flowers pink, around the middles.
Step 11: Green leaves, red tulips
Colour the stems and leaves leaf green and both tulips red. Your flower basket is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a flower basket, drawn by you.
