► Draw 2 or 3 short lines from the central line for the leaves.
► To draw the petals, start sketching small oval shaped curves from the center, touching the main circle.
► Draw U shaped curves for the leaves, keeping the short lines as the center of the leaves.
► Sketch the ends of the petals in such a way that the curves look softer and rounder.
► Sketch some small dots on the central oval to make the center of the daisy prominent.

► Sketch 2 more lines near the first 2 lines to represent the stem.
► Draw some U-shaped curves starting from the bottom of the stem to create the leaves. Make sure that the dimensions of the leaves are smaller than the petals.
► Make the outline of the leaves more jagged to give them a realistic look, and draw some short lines from the central spine of the leaves. ► Make the edges of the petals softer and rounder by using the 4B pencil. Draw some short, curved lines to create small thorns at the stem.
