1. Find a picture of a flower, a fake flower or a real flower that you would like to draw close-up. 

2. Looking at this flower and filling up the sketchbook page, draw the whole flower or just part of the flower in pencil. Think of it like you're looking through a magnifying glass or taking a really close-up picture with a camera. The flower should fill the page. 

3. Color it in with your choice of materials.
