How You Can Make Perfect Dahlia Flowers in five steps

Dahlia is a gorgeous looking flower that gives fresh accent and fits nicely in journal, but I was always scared to try it out due so many big and small petals, until now.

I did numerous failed attempts to draw this flower until I found one secret: build the foundation of dahlia flower correctly. Now I definitely can say that Dahlia is another easy option to decorate plans.

Take a look at my step-by-step instructions and create your magnificent Dahlia flowers.

• Draw a circle with a pencil, it will help you to determine how big you want to make your flowers. Now fill the middle with three petals, usually I direct them in the same direction as the flower stem.

• Make four extra symmetric petals around the middle.

• Add petals symmetrically until you have a beautiful symmetrical circle.

 

And here it is, Dahlia seemed so heavy to me but appeared very fast in drawing.

I also recorded step-by-step video tutorial, take a look:

Here is my April plan, where I first tried Dahlia flowers that inspired me.
