Instructions

Step 1: Create a Pawn Shape

Drawing the body of the cornflower.

Have you ever seen chess pieces? If yes, let us start our Cornflower drawing by creating a pawn shape for the flower. This will serve as your guide and the basis for all the details of your cornflower drawing.

Step 2: Draw a Crown

Next, make a crown on the head of the pawn shape you’ve drawn earlier. This should look like an egg-like shape with the pawn in the middle bottom part of the shape.

Step 3: Remove Extra Lines

The next thing that we will do is to erase the excess line for it to look like a disc on the top of the head.

Step 4: Add a Zigzag Design

Next, through that disc you’ve drawn earlier, we add a tiny detail by creating a zigzag design that will serve as the pearl of our flower. Draw the zigzag line from the leftmost part of the egg-like shape, all the way to the rightmost part.

Step 5: Remove Unwanted Details
