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.
TIP: This is where using a pencil comes in handy. We can easily draw and overlap more and more petals to create a sunflower with many layers. Draw as many petals as you wish till your sunflower looks happy to you.
Finish off the sketch by drawing leaves as seen below. Keep the 3 leaves a little jagged and overlap the stalk.

I colored in my sketch with Dual Brush Pens here and added some ink details on top. I love how the yellow color looks on top of this kraft Archer and Olive Notebooks. You can read my Archer and Olive Notebook Review to see why I love these notebooks.
TIP: While coloring the sunflowers, add a shadow to the petals that lay in the layer underneath. If you have more layers, make sure you add shadows to each layer beneath. This will make the flower look rich and full!
