- 1). Draw a circle on paper. This will form the outline of the entire poppy so make it as large as you want the flower to be.
- 2). Run your pencil down the center of the circle to create a straight vertical line. Draw a horizontal straight line across the center of the circle. This separates the circle into four equal sections. Draw a small circle in the center of the first circle, where the two lines cross. This will form the center of the poppy.
- 3). Go over each individual section to make it appear more petal-like. Do this by running your pencil over the guidance lines, making the edges of each petal curved. Add detail to the petals by giving each one a heart-shaped top, with a small dip in the center.
- 4). Erase any unwanted guidance lines and color the center circle black. Color each petal red and blend in yellow at the root of each petal, where it meets the black center.
