Daffodils are a beautiful and bright spring flower and they inspire all of us. Do a few practice flowers on a cheap paper and then put together your own arrangement.
Draw the flowers lightly using a hard light pencil, you will want to switch to a darker one later on. Start with a circle and mark off 6 points for the star-like flowers. One way is to make two triangles to help line up the marks evenly. There are many varieties of daffodils but this one has large diamond-shaped petals. After you draw them in round them off. The center tube is just a hollow tube it is like looking down into a cup so shadow the top inside and the bottom outside, use an outward sweeping line. the center has a ruffle, draw an irregular pattern around the center. The daffodil has 3 or four blade-like leaves draw them with a shadow on one side and light on the other. be sure to add some texture on the ground and add a background.
These are very colorful flowers so try it in colored pencil or watercolor paint.
