20 Beginner-Friendly Floral & Leafy Doodles to Try Today

If you love doodling or want to add quick, charming flowers and leaves to your sketches, you’re in the right place.

I’m excited to share 20 simple floral and leafy doodles that anyone can draw, regardless of skill level. Grab your sketchbook and a pen, and let’s dive in!

These doodles are perfect for patterns, greeting cards, or just practicing your drawing skills.

#1. Clustered Petal Flower

Let’s begin our floral doodle journey with something simple and beautiful—the clustered petal flower. This is the perfect warm-up to get your hands moving and your creativity flowing.

I start by drawing a bunch of overlapping petals. I keep the petals loose and relaxed—no need to stress about making them perfect.

As I move outward, I make each petal a bit larger than the one before. This helps the flower head look more open and natural.

Then, I draw a soft, curved line coming down from the flower to make the stem. 

From that main stem, I add another one branching off and draw a second flower head.

Next, I sketch a few leaves along both stems. I make sure the leaves are different sizes to keep the drawing light and lively. 

To finish off this doodle, I add a bit of line shading on the petals to give them some depth and interest.

And that’s it for this first flower. Simple, soft, and full of charm!

#2. Simple Leafy Branch

Now that we’ve done a flower, let’s switch things up with a quick leafy doodle. This one is super easy and fun to draw. I begin with a single main stem. 

Then, I draw small almond or teardrop-shaped leaves on both sides of it. I make sure each leaf is slightly angled and not too perfect.

To keep things natural, I vary the leaf shapes so they don’t look too even or boring. Just like that, this simple leafy branch is done—quick, organic, and great for adding a light touch to your sketchbook!

#3. Mini Sprig with Delicate Leaves

Here’s a cute little sprig that’s simple and calming to draw. It only takes a few quick strokes. I start with a short stem. Then, I draw teardrop-shaped leaves branching out from it.

To add some texture, I sketch tiny veins on each leaf. I keep everything delicate and very light. And that’s it—just a sweet, tiny sprig to add a gentle touch to your doodle page.

#4. Rounded Petal Flower

Ready for another flower? This one is full and layered, with soft curves and a natural feel.

I draw rounded petals overlapping to create a dense, layered look. You can make your flower head big or small—whatever feels right. 

Then, I add a curvy stem and sketch small leaves on both sides. To finish, I add a few extra petals to make the flower look fuller. That’s all for this charming yet straightforward bloom.

#5. Daisy-Style Bloom

Let’s move on to a cheerful daisy-inspired flower. I love how simple yet lively this one looks.

I start with a small circle in the center. Then, I draw long, thin, rounded petals all around it. I pack in lots of petals so the flower looks like it’s in full bloom. 

Next, I draw the main stem, and from that, I branch out tiny stems on both sides. On each of these little stems, I add tiny leaves. 

To finish, I shade the petals near the center with a few lines to add depth. And that’s it—our daisy-style bloom is done!

#6. Paired Fluffy Flowers

Next, I draw charming, fluffy flowers to keep things interesting. I start by drawing a small center, then add about five curvy, fluffy petals around it. 

After finishing the first flower, I draw another one nearby. 

Next, I create a central stem and add a branch connecting the second flower.  

To complete the look, I draw big, toothy leaves near the bottom of the stem and a few tiny leaves near the top. As always, I add some line shading to make the flowers pop.

#7. Dense Leafy Stem

I draw three curvy stems branching from a single point. Then, I add small almond-shaped leaves along each stem to create a dense, lush look.

To finish, I add tiny veins on some leaves to give them texture. These leafy stems look full and vibrant. Next up is a side-facing flower.

#8. Side-Facing Flower

This flower is similar to the daisy but is drawn from the side. I draw petals on the top half as if blooming from a bulb.

I add a stem and another flower branching out. Rounded leaves complete the stem.

Adding line details on petals or leaves makes this flower stand out. This flower adds some dynamic perspective to your doodles. 

#9. Cosmos-Inspired Flowers

Now, let’s draw flowers that look like cosmos. For these, I draw petals spaced slightly apart with curly edges. I add a stem and some toothy leaves.

To show fullness, I draw a second flower beside the first. 

I finish by adding line shading on the petals and veins on the leaves. These cosmos flowers have a light, airy feel. Now for some fun, whimsical line flowers.

#10. Whimsical Line Flower

I start with a cluster of lines shooting outward from a central point. At the end of each line, I add little circles or dots, creating a playful fireworks effect.

Tiny leaves on the stems add a delicate touch. These whimsical flowers are fun to draw and look great as accents in your sketches.

I add another one similar to this. 

It’s fun to draw!

11. Dandelion Puff

Let’s switch the angle a bit and draw a side-facing whimsical flower. Similar to the previous one, but now side-facing. Instead of dots, I add 4–5 small strokes from each line. It looks a bit like a dandelion puff.

The different angles and strokes give this doodle a fresh, airy feel.

#12. Wild Berry Branch

Time to draw something with berries. I start with a main stem and add many small stems branching out in different directions.

On these small stems, I draw small filled-in circles to represent berries. Clustering the berries close together makes the branch look full and lively.

#13. Downward-Facing Petal Flower

This flower has long, rounded petals falling downward. I draw about 3–4 flower heads to show a bunch.

I connect these flowers with stems and add many leaves to create a fuller look. Adding line details on petals and leaves completes the doodle beautifully.

#14. California Poppy-Inspired Doodle

I start with a small node. From this node, many-layered petals of different sizes emerge. I don’t worry about perfect shapes — just letting the petals flow naturally.

A stem and simple leaves complete the flower. I add line details on the petals to make the flower look more mature and interesting.

#15. Tulips: Two Simple Versions

First Tulip

I draw 2–3 almond-shaped, rounded petals sitting side by side. Some back petals peek out behind. Then, I add a stem with long, big leaves on both sides.

Second Tulip

This one is a bit more compact and tighter. The leaves are slightly bent near the tips. I add shading on the petals to give them more depth and form.

Let’s take a closer look at the two versions of tulips!

#16. Lavender Stems

I draw long stems with tiny clusters of small oval shapes along them to mimic lavender flowers.

I overlap two stems going in opposite directions for a natural look. Adding leaves at the base completes this simple and lovely doodle.

#17. Starburst Flower (Mini Sunflower Style)

Start with a small dotted round center. Add many pointed petals, keeping them close and slightly uneven for a natural look.

Add a stem and two big curly leaves coming from either side. I add extra details on the petals, leaves, and center to make it interesting. There you have a mini sunflower doodle!

#18. Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Branch

I draw many rounded leaves starting from the top and going down the stem. The leaves spread out wider near the base.

Adding veins to the leaves gives them texture and realism. This eucalyptus doodle is simple but beautiful.

#19. Leafy Branch with Berries

This is a great filler doodle. I draw a leafy branch combined with some small berry stems. It fits well with other leafy doodles and adds variety to any composition.

#20. Spiky Sprig

For the final doodle, I draw a couple of wavy lines as the main stems. Tiny spiky stems or thorns come out on both sides of the stems, creating a wild, textured look.

It’s a fun way to add some edge to your floral collection.
