Hi Richard- great photo! You can really see the spiral pattern on this seed head. In Wendy’s book “The Joy of Botanical Drawing” Chapter 8 covers this topic. She illustrates the spiral pattern on conifer cones and also strawberries in detail. You would use those same principles on the cone flower’s seed head.
Any suggestions on how to do the center?
