Stem and Leaves Sunflower Coloring Page

Layered petals surround the sunflower's textured center, where crisscrossing lines create the dense seed pattern characteristic of mature blooms in this detailed coloring design. The substantial leaves feature prominent central veins with smaller side veins branching outward, giving each leaf a realistic botanical structure. This botanical illustration balances the circular flower head at the top with the vertical strength of the stem below. The seed head's crosshatch pattern needs careful attention with darker tones to create depth, while the petals could feature warm yellows ranging from golden to pale lemon. Try shading the leaves with multiple green values-darker along the veins and lighter between them-to emphasize their three-dimensional form. The stem might use gradual shading on one side to show how light falls across its cylindrical surface.
