Total Time: 15 minutes

Starting in the middle of your page, draw a circle. Doodle overlapping shapes to form the petals of the sunflower. Keep the petals looking different- some skinnier than the others to make it look interesting.

Now we need to build more layers of petals. Using a pencil is helpful here, as you can draw overlapping petals quickly and ink only the ones on top completely.

Finish off the sketch by adding three leaves as seen below. Keep the leaves a little jagged and overlap the stalk.
