Draw Valentine Flowers

A heart becomes the blossom in a Valentine flower.


Valentine's Day is associated with heart symbols and flowers, tokens of affection that show our loved ones how much we care for them. Design your own Valentine's Day card for a special someone and decorate the card by drawing a simple flower made up of a heart. Even a short note for someone in your home with this Valentine flower can brighten a friend's day. Practice drawing the flower using pencil, then use a green marker for the stem and a pink or red marker for the blossom.


Instructions


1. Draw a heart shape. Make an upside-down "U," moving from the right to left. Then, without picking up the pencil, continue the line and draw a "V." Make another upside-down "U" going from right to left without picking up the pencil, connecting back to the starting point.


2. Draw a line down from the bottom point of the heart to be the stem of the flower. Allow the line to curve slightly to the left to make the flower look less rigid.


3. Add leaves that are also in heart shapes. Draw small, sideways hearts along the stem, one on either side, with the points facing away from the stem. Arrange the leaves so that the one on the right is slightly higher than the one on the left to add a bit of whimsy.
