We show how to draw a dandelion in May, blooming in bright yellow. Therefore, we pay great attention to the petals.

First draw a flower head. It should be drawn not by a compass, as in this figure-drawing, but by hand. Mark the stem line from the flower head and identify the places where you place the leaves.

Now let's start drawing petals. They grow out of the center. It is important to distribute the petals so that movement can be seen. They are slightly thinner in the base and slightly widen toward the upper end.

Make the head of the flower "fluffy". At the edges draw additional petals, the tips of which hid under the petals painted earlier. So the flower head acquires volume.

Now draw the leaves. First we draw elongated along thin lines, and then we detail them: we add bends, we sharpen the tips, we make veins.

The drawing is ready. We paint it in two colors: a yellow head, and we make the stem and leaves green. You can use colored pencils, watercolor or gouache.

Draw a few separately flying umbrellas-achenes. The drawing is ready.
