How To Draw Easy & Simple Cartoon Japanese Cherry Blossoms (Sakura)

What’s more beautiful than a sweet, pink cherry blossom flower? They signify purity and beauty with their beautiful pink hue. It’s Japan’s national flower. You know it’s my dream to grow a cherry blossom tree in my backyard (they grow well in our area.) Unfortunately, we don’t have enough backyard space in our condo home to grow a cherry blossom right now until we can move… so I decided since well, why not draw one to tie me over.

🖍️ Tools For Success

🎨 Parents: The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But – if you have them around – a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when you’re done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.
