Want to know how to draw a sunflower? Follow the easy video lesson to make this pretty spring flower.

It’s bright, colorful and great to use for any Spring crafts that you make at home. How about making a gift for Mother’s Day with it?!

The sunflower only takes a few minutes to draw, so don’t worry if you’re a beginner. It’s totally beginner-friendly! We’ll use Inkscape which is an open-source drawing software program.

Take a look at what we’ll be drawing in the video below.

The shortcuts that I use in the video can all be found in my Inkscape Ready Set Go! Ebook.

Inkscape has lots of keyboard and mouse shortcuts that can help you draw quickly. Once you know how to use them you’ll find that Inkscape is easy to use.
