Chamomile in scientific Latin sounds like Matricaria ("uterine herb"), traditionally used to treat gynecological diseases. Popularly, chamomile is a flowered plant that has many white petals surrounding a darker central part. In general, there are about twenty species of this flower. This plant is widely used for cosmetic and medicinal purposes.

Chamomile is one of the first drawings that children begin to draw, because it is not difficult at all. In this lesson "How to draw a chamomile" you can see this. The lesson will be presented in 5 stages, and at the end you will get a beautiful painted daisy. This bright and joyful flower is one of the unusual representatives of plants, its uniqueness is that the petals close at night and open in the morning, rejoicing in the sun.

How to draw a chamomile step by step

You can draw a chamomile by repeating the pictures in the lesson. You can create while looking at a computer monitor, or you can printpictures, if you think it's more convenient.

There will be red and gray lines on each picture, in each stage - this is necessary so that you can accurately repeat the drawing. The gray lines indicate the lines drawn in the previous step, and the red ones are what you need to draw in this one. By carefully following this instruction, you will learn how to draw a daisy without spending a lot of time and effort on it.

1. We outline the contours of chamomile

Draw three circles with light and quick pencil movements, do not press hard on the paper, the lines should be slightly noticeable, they only outline the drawing, at the end they will be removed with an eraser. One circle can be made an oval, so liveliness is given, tilt it a little to the left. Draw an oval in the center of each future flower - this will be the central part of the chamomile.

Now you need to outline the stems of the flower, do it with the same light movements, starting from the flower down, a little along the curve. Do not forget about the leaves, for this, from each stem, draw one or two small curved lines to the sides, where they will be in the future.

2. Petals and leaves

Draw the petals as U-shaped curves coming from the center of the flower. Notice how some of the petals are in the foreground and others are behind them. Their length depends on which way the flower is tilted.

Draw leaves along the marked lines. You can add a couple more if you like.

3. Finishing the stems

Now carefully draw each petal, slightly sharpen their ends, give each volume. The center of the daisy should be bumpy so that you can see that it is not smooth.

Large leaves have uneven edges, so we make indentations, draw small leaves with a slightly uneven line. Where the stems are marked, we draw two parallel curves.

4. Finishing the petals

In the core of the chamomile, put dots along the bottom edge. Each petal has two parallel lines in the center. In each leaflet, we denote the veins by drawing curves in it.

5. Finishing the drawing

Add more dots to each center, mark a shadow everywhere.

That's the end of the lesson "How to draw a daisy", it remains only to show imagination by adding something of your own.
