The Gold Ring Sunflower
In this course I will take you through the steps needed to create a life-like flower that resembles the Gold Ring Sunflower!
Together, we will go create the flower in stages, starting with realistic seeds forming in the center of the flower with a spiraling effect, we will add a ring of pollen and a halo of golden petals. To finish off the sunflower we will create a crown of calyx leaves, a thick stem, and larger leaves so add depth to our flower.

When I first crafted this course, I meticulously thought about every challenge you might face as a beginner. My goal was to give you an insightful, step-by-step guide that's incredibly easy to follow. The benefits you're going to get out of this are tremendous. You'll gain a solid understanding from the ground up, with clear explanations and hands-on tips. Each module is organized to build on the previous one, so your knowledge grows in a logical, manageable way. And I've sprinkled in real-world examples to make sure these concepts really stick. By the end of our time together, you'll not only be more confident but truly prepared to apply everything you've learned here in your own projects.
