For the flowers, first draw a circle. Add curves to the sides of your circle, then colour in. For further depth, make some simple ‘filler’ shapes at the top of the flower. For the stems, make a dot under your peony shape and make a line. Draw long leaf shapes at the base of the line and wrap more leaves around the stem.
