But this sunflower has something special - it is a drawing of a flower with a face! This cute personification turns an ordinary plant into a friendly cartoon character.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Cartoon Sunflower
How to Draw a Great Looking Cartoon Sunflower for Kids, Beginners, and Adults - Step 1
1. Begin the cartoon sunflower outline by drawing a circle. This will become the center of the flower. Inside the circle, draw two curved lines. These will be the cheeks of the smiling face. Enclose an oval shape above each to form the eyes. Shade another oval within each eye to indicate the pupils.
