The flower color of poppy species includes white, pink, yellow, orange, red, and blue. Some have dark center markings. Did you know that before blooming, the petals are crumpled in the bud, and as blooming finishes, the petals often lie flat before falling away.
How cool is that? Now let us try to draw our own Poppy flower by following these 9 simple steps.
How to Draw a Poppy
Materials
- Pencil
- Paper

Instructions
Step 1: Draw a circle.
First, we create a circle. This will serve as the foundation of your Poppy drawing and will also be the guide for all the details later.
Step 2: Add Inner Circles
Inside the circle we’ve made earlier, do another 2 small circles in the center. Make sure that the inner circles are inside one another just like our sample above.
Step 3: Add the Petals
With the guide of the bigger circle we have created, let us design 2 petal shapes inside. Creating a flat-leaf look alike.
Step 4: Draw Inner Petals
Now, imagine putting a shell inside those big petals we’ve made. Making the center circle our pearl. This time, add two inner petals using the inner circles as our guide.
Step 5: Fold the Inner Petal
Let us add a tiny detail on the right side of that shell we’ve made, making it look like our petal is a little folded.
Step 6: Draw the Stem
We shall now add our stem by just simply adding a straight line below our poppy flower.
Step 7: Add a Curve Line to the Stem
Make a curve line moving upward of that straight line. Making it look like the stem of an umbrella.
Step 8: Draw a Leaf
On the tip of our curve, draw a tiny circle on it. This will serve as the leaf. By drawing this one, our Poppy drawing will look more beautiful
Step 9: Finish up!
Now we are done. Let us color our creation with red for the flower and green for the leaf. We are free to use any color that we like. The important thing here is, we make our masterpiece a colorful one. Good job little one!
