Step 1: The first step will be to draw the central part of the flower by making almost a full circle and then adding a smaller circle at the top of that.
Step 2: Next draw the outer petals which should be short pointed petals around the central flower. Also add a few lines on the central flower to create a look of more petals.
Step 3: In this step draw the leaves which will be two lines curving outward from a center point below the flower. Then add the leaves to those stems which will be jagged ovals.
