How to draw a Dandelion and turn it into a Painting

Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw a dandelion. Afterwards, some easy art supplies will help you add a colorful background. Sometimes the simplest drawings can make some of the prettiest.

This How to Draw a Dandelion tutorial shows how striking line drawings can be, when they are kept to just a few simple shapes. A very pretty dandelion can be drawn with just a stem, round center and lots of feathery seeds. Make a few of them flow away and you have a very pretty summer drawing.

Dandelions are a symbol for healing, whether from emotional or physical pain, and also surviving hard times as dandelions are the most persistent flower that never gives up. When you give someone a single dandelion or a bouquet, you’re giving a message of hope, telling the recipient to not give up and to persevere to sunnier times ahead.
