How to Draw a Gerbera Daisy
Draw a gerbera daisy 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 round circle for the middle, about as big as a plum.
Step 2: Top petals
Start on the circle's top. Draw a slim round-tipped petal back to the circle. Do 4 more round the top.
Step 3: Bottom petals
Draw the same slim petals round the bottom half, so 10 petals go all the way round like a clock.
Step 4: Short petals between
Between every 2 long petals, draw a shorter round-tipped petal, about half as long.
Tip Two rings of petals make it look fluffy and full.
Step 5: Inner circle
Inside the middle circle, draw a smaller circle, leaving a thin ring all the way round.
Step 6: The stem
Start under the bottom petal. Draw 2 lines down to near the bottom, getting a little wider apart.
Step 7: Two leaves
From the bottom of the stem, draw a long wavy leaf out left and back. Do the right.
Step 8: Ground and grass
Draw a ground line under the stem, nearly edge to edge. Add 2 small grass blades far out each side.
Step 9: Yellow ring
Colour the thin ring round the middle yellow.
Step 10: Orange petals
Colour all the petals orange, the long ones and the short ones.
Step 11: Brown middle, green stem
Colour the small middle brown, and the stem, leaves and grass green. Go over your lines.

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