Sunflower with Leaves Coloring Page

A single massive bloom dominates the upper half, its circular center packed with a honeycomb grid of seed chambers in this detailed coloring design. Broad petals spread outward in the characteristic sunflower formation, each one shaped like a stretched teardrop. Three hefty leaves jut from the thick vertical stem, their jagged edges and bold veins adding natural texture to the plant's framework. The seed head's geometric grid needs careful shading work-alternate light and dark values in a checkerboard pattern to build dimension. Give each petal a different yellow shade, from pale lemon at the outer tips to rich golden amber where they meet the center, creating a natural gradient. Layer forest green at the leaf bases with lighter sage tones following the vein lines, then blend chartreuse and olive on the stem for realistic botanical depth.
