How to Draw a Handprint Flower
Draw a handprint flower 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 flower head.
Step 1: The flower head
Above the middle of your paper draw a fat egg with a flat top, bulging a little top left.
Tip This is a handprint: the palm is the middle, the fingers are the petals.
Step 2: A happy face
On the flower's middle draw 2 round eyes close together with black dots, and a small U smile.
Step 3: The tall petal
From the top of the middle draw a tall petal up, round the tip, and back down to the line.
Step 4: Two more petals
Draw a shorter petal each side of the tall one, each from the middle's line and back to it.
Step 5: The little petal
On the far right draw the shortest petal, leaning out a bit, from the line and back down to it.
Step 6: The thumb petal
From the top of the left bulge draw a fat thumb petal leaning out left, back down to the bulge.
Step 7: The stem
From under the middle draw a gently curving stem, fatter lower down, stopping well above the page bottom.
Step 8: Two leaves
Draw a leaf each side of the stem, from the stem out to a point and back, one higher.
Step 9: The pot and ground
Round the stem's bottom draw a flower pot: a wide rim with a narrower pot under. Add a ground line.
Step 10: Yellow middle, pink petals
Colour the flower's middle yellow, leaving the eyes white, and colour the five petals pink.
Step 11: Green stem and leaves
Colour the stem and the two leaves leaf green.
Step 12: Orange pot
Colour the pot and its rim orange. Go over your lines and your handprint flower is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a handprint flower, drawn by you.
