So, how do you keep in the realm of cuteness when drawing cute little flower doodles?
Here are a few quick points to keep in mind when you’re making these types of easy floral doodles.
Tips for Drawing Cute Little Flower Doodles:
- Keep your floral doodles tiny & small
- Try making them look cartoony
- Do this by exaggerating proportions like making the petals more rounded or bigger in comparison to the stem
- Simplify the floral forms by using simple shapes like ovals, circles, etc.
- Stay away from too much detail
- You can imply details by adding a simple line or two to indicate thickness, curvature of petals, or even a couple dots for a flower’s receptacle – but anything more and it’ll look too complicated, crossing over into realism – unless that’s what you’e going for!
- Keep them quick by sketching a doodle under 10-15 minutes
- Anything more & you’re spending too much time on it

2. Carnation
Time : 5 Min.
Have you ever seen a carnation?
They’re not as common as some of the other flowers in this list but still pretty and fun to draw.
Carnations are easy to spot from their petals. They look like they all are stuffed into the flower to the point where they look like bunches of ribbons or paper bundled together!
How to Draw a Cute Carnation Doodle
Something to keep in mind when drawing easy floral doodles of carnations, is to sketch wavy lines then add dimension and thickness to them, just like when drawing a folded ribbon. Only, you’ll be adding petals and a stem!
- Start by drawing a curved triangle for the carnation’s center
- Draw a larger half-circle petal underneath the triangle
- Add more petals around the center, using the same shapes in Step 2
- Draw the carnation’s larger petals around the flower’s center that you drew in step 3
- You can make these petals more square-shaped & angular
- It gives your cute little carnation doodles more variation
- Continue doodling in the rest of the larger petals until there’s no empty space around the center
- Draw a smaller half-square underneath the carnation
- It’s for the flower’s base, giving it more dimension & depth
- Then, draw a line from the center of the flower’s base for the stem
- Draw 2 triangles at the stem’s bottom for the leaves
And you’re done!

4. Daffodil
Time : 5 Min.
Daffodils are extremely unique looking. If you see one, you’ll know!
They usually are yellow but what makes them so recognizable are the cylindrical centers of petals growing up out of the center. Keep this in mind when drawing easy floral doodles of daffodils.
Easy Daffodil Doodle Drawing Tutorial

- Doodle in the top petal by making a bulbous leaf with an angled tip
- Repeat step 3 for the other 2 petals
- Draw in 3 more sketch lines for the remaining 3 petals
- Doodle in the petals around the lines you drew in step 5
- Add the stem with 2 straight lines under the flower
- Draw 2 leaves at the stem’s bottom, making them a bit pointed

5. Sunflower
Time : 5 Min.
The sunflower is another common but extremely popular flower with yellow petals and a large brown center.
Theses gorgeous flowers are actually quite big and are used for things like sunflower oil and sunflower seeds.
How to Draw Cute Sunflower Doodles
- Draw a straight line for the stem.
- Sketch in the receptacle / bulb on top of the stem.
- Try to make it larger – sunflower bulbs are quite big for flowers
- Doodle in upside-down ‘L’s’ for the leaves, right under the bulb.
- Like in the previous tutorial, sketch in lines for the leaves and radiate them around the entire bulb. You can use pencil for this step if you’re worried about making mistakes.
- a. When drawing sunflower petals, you can reference the sunflower leaf shape I drew in the corner
- b. Using the leaf shape, try your best to draw that shape around each of the bulb’s lines. Your doodle should start looking like a sunflower.
- c. To complete the leaves, draw triangles around the bent portion of the line or just connect the tip to the lower half of the leaf?
You’re finished drawing should look like this:

What Are Cute Flower Doodles?
Cute flower doodles are simple little drawings of flowers most often created with pen or ink but you can use any material you like. These flower doodles are cute due to their simplicity and lack of detail.
The point is to keep them quick and simple.
A good starting point is anything less than 10-15 minutes.
If you’re looking for the perfect beginner-friendly black pen to use when drawing cute flower doodles or quick pen drawings, check out this 0.5mm Staedtler pigment liner from Amazon here. It’s the one pen I use specifically for drawing doodles.
The ink flow is extremely consistent, permanent, & you get a pure solid black pigment, unlike other pens that have a blue or purplish tint to them. And what’s great about the 0.5mm tip is that you can create smooth dark lines that you can easily see but are thin enough to add fine details.
If you’d like to try a variety of different sizes ranging from 0.3mm to 1.0mm, this 4-pack of Staedtler pigment liners from Amazon is great way to try out different sizes and vary your line thickness and details. Plus you get 2 pens for free!
