How to Draw a Rose
- Draw a petal.
At the top of a piece of paper, draw a petal that looks like a drop. Please note that the upper sharp part should be pointing to the side.
- Draw another petal.
The second petal is a mirror image of the petal from the first step. Notice how the petal from the first step overlaps the one drawn in this step.
- Draw the inner petals.
These petals are like a collar. One petal overlaps the other. Their size should be noticeably smaller than the petals from the first two stages.
- Draw the sepals.
Draw almond-shaped sepals just below the bud. Note that unlike the petals, their tips should point slightly downward.
- Draw the stem.
You can draw the stem using two long, vertical lines, making it perfectly straight. Alternatively, you can make the stem slightly curved for a more natural look.
- Draw the twigs.
These lines should come from the stem and go up. Try to draw them at different levels to achieve more naturalness.
- Draw the leaves.
The leaves should be almond-shaped, and partly repeat the outlines of the sepals.
- Erase unnecessary lines.
Remove unnecessary lines from the rose drawing and outline it using a darker color.
- Color the rose drawing.
We painted the stem and leaves of the rose green and the bud pink. You can repeat everything as in our example, or use different colors.
