Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Cosmos Flower
How to Draw a Great Looking Cosmos Flower for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the cosmos outline by drawing the fuzzy center of the first flower. Use a series of small, connected, "U" shaped lines to enclose the round shape.
Then, extend pairs of lines to outline the ray flowers or petals. Connect each pair of lines with a wavy line.
Next, draw a "V" shaped stem using pairs of curved lines. One branch of the stem should support the first blossom.
Drawing Step 2
2. Continue drawing ray petals around the center of the flower. Use two curved lines for the sides, connected by a wavy line at the end.

Drawing Step 4
4. Complete the circuit of petals around the second flower. Use curved lines for the sides of the petals, connected by wavy lines on the ends.
Drawing Step 5
5. Draw another stem using a pair of long curved lines. Enclose a round flower center above it using a wavy line.
Begin drawing petals around the flower's center. For each petal, extend two curved lines and connect them on the end with a wavy line.
Drawing Step 6
6. Continue drawing petals until you have completed the third flower. Then begin drawing the lacy leaves, erasing as necessary.
Extend pairs of curved lines from the sides of the stem, sometimes, allowing them to branch into a "Y" shape.
Drawing Step 7
7. Extend more pairs of curved lines from the stems. Draw smaller pairs of lines or "Y" shapes branching off of them.

8. Continue to sketch the branching "Y" shaped leaves. From one of the flowers, extend a pair of curved lines to form another stem.
At its top, use curved lines to draw a tulip shape. These are the leaflike sepals at the base of an unopened flower.
Complete the Outline of Your Cosmos Flower Drawing - Step 9
9. Use overlapping curved lines to draw two curved layers of the unopened flower. Then, detail the cosmos flowers with small "U" shaped lines in their centers and longer curved lines along their petals.
Color Your Cosmos Flower Drawing
Your cosmos outline is now complete. Color your cartoon flowers. Cosmos come in many, many colors. The centers are usually yellow but are sometimes red.
The ray petals can be orange, purple, pink, with, or red. Many have darker shades around the centers or at the tips of the petals.
