Coloring tips for sunflower coloring pages (simple but works)
Picking colors that still look “sunflower”
- Petals don’t have to be one flat yellow. Try yellow + a bit orange near the center.
- The center can be brown, dark brown, or even olive green if you feel weird and artsy.
- Leaves look good with 2 greens: one light, one dark.
Shading without being a pro
- Shade the bottom of petals a little darker. That’s it, you already got depth.
- Make the seeds darker near the middle and lighter toward the outer ring.
- If you mess up, it’s fine… nature is messy too.
Tools that make it easier
- Crayons: best for little kids and fast coloring.
- Colored pencils: best for detail seeds and smooth shading.
- Markers: bright and bold, but put scrap paper behind so it don’t bleed through.
