Dahlia Seen From Above With Rings of Pointed Petals

A single large dahlia fills the page, seen straight on from above. A tight cluster of small, pointed petals sits in the middle like a closed bud, and rings of bigger petals open outward around it, each ring a little longer than the last. Every petal has fine hatched lines running from base to tip, and the outer edges are drawn with thicker, bolder outlines. There is no stem, background, or leaves, just the bloom on white paper. This free printable suits older kids, teens, and adults who like patient, detailed work. Try shading from a dark color in the center to a lighter one at the outer petals, so the flower looks like it has real depth. Colored pencils work best for staying inside the thin lines.
