Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing an Aster
How to Draw a Great Looking Aster for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the aster outline by drawing the flower’s center. Use a series of “U” shaped lines to enclose the fuzzy-looking round shape. Then begin drawing the elongated, overlapping, “U” shaped petals.
Drawing Step 2
2. Continue drawing long, “U” shaped lines to form the flower’s petals.

3. Continue to draw the petals of the flower, extending long curved lines from the center and doubling them back on themselves. You can even fill in extra petals between the existing ones if you notice a bare spot.
Drawing Step 4
4. Use long curved lines to finish drawing the petals of the first flower. Then, draw a second blossom from a different angle.
Again, use connected, curved lines to draw the flower’s center, but leave one side open. Fill the gap with overlapping petals shaped like rounded teardrops.
Drawing Step 5
5. Continue drawing petals around the flower’s center. Use long, narrow “U” shaped lines or extend lines from the center and double them back on themselves.
Drawing Step 6
6. Finish drawing the overlapping petals all around the flower’s center. Then, draw two long, curved, parallel lines to form the stem of the second flower.
Drawing Step 7
7. Erase a small portion of the stem, and extend a pair of curved lines from each opening. On one side, the lines should connect to the first flower.
On the other, use a series of lines to draw a half-circle shape that is jagged on one side. This is the base of a flower bud. Use long curved lines to enclose petals emerging from this sepal.

8. Finish drawing the bud’s petals, extending curved lines and doubling them back on themselves. Then, draw a few small leaves along the stem.
First, extend a pair of lines from the stem and allow them to meet at a sharp point. Extend a line from the point to form the leaf vein, and use a curved line to enclose the leaf around it.

9. Draw more leaves emerging from the twigs. For each, extend a curved line for the leaf vein, and enclose the leaf around it. Texture the flower centers with “U” shaped lines.

Your aster outline is now complete. Color your cartoon flowers. Asters come in many colors.
In the wild, white is probably the most common, followed by light blue and light pink. Cultivated varieties can come in almost any color.
