Learn More About The Dandelion Drawing

Dandelions are perennial flowers - flowers that return year after year - but are often considered weeds. The fluffy, floating seeds and rapid growth habits allow dandelions to spread quickly - much to the chagrin of homeowners who take pride in an immaculate green lawn.

Dandelions have many overlapping petals, similar in shape to the Chrysanthemum or carnation.

Did you know, though, that dandelions haven't always been considered a weed? Early European settlers brought the plant to the Americas as a food source.

The yellow blossoms can be eaten raw, fried, or made into a bitter wine.

The leaves can be eaten as salad, and the roots can be dried, ground, and steeped to provide a coffee substitute.

Dandelion roots and leaves have also been used for medicinal purposes.

Today, many children enjoy picking dandelions and blowing on the ripe seed heads, sending the winged seeds aloft.

Some folklore holds that if you make a wish and then blow all the seeds from a dandelion in a single breath, that wish is bound to come true. Sometimes, dandelions are used as symbols of love.

Would you like to draw a dandelion flower? This simple, step-by-step drawing tutorial makes doing so easy and fun.

You will learn to draw this flower using simple lines and shapes. All you will need is a pen, pencil, or marker and a sheet of paper.

You may also wish to use crayons or something similar - especially in shades of yellow and green - to shade your finished drawing.
