What You’ll Need
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Sharpener
- Drawing paper
Step 1: Draw the Outline
To start drawing a rose, you need to draw the basic outline of the flower. Begin with a small circle in the middle of the page, this will be the center of the rose. Then draw a slightly larger circle around the center circle, this will be the base of the petals. Finally, draw a larger circle around the second circle, this will be the outer edge of the petals.
Step 2: Draw the Petals
Now it’s time to draw the petals. Start at the top of the center circle and lightly sketch a petal shape that curves downward toward the outer circle. Continue drawing petals around the center circle, making sure they overlap slightly. Once you have completed the first layer of petals, add a second layer of petals behind the first layer. These petals should be slightly smaller than the first layer.
Step 3: Add Details
Now you can add some details to your rose. Start by drawing the stem of the rose, extending it from the bottom of the flower. Add thorns along the stem by drawing small triangles. Then, add some leaves by drawing two curved lines on either side of the stem. You can add as many leaves as you like.
Step 4: Shade and Texture
Finally, it’s time to add some shading and texture to your rose. Use your pencil to shade in the petals, adding darker shading to the areas closest to the center of the flower. Add some texture to the petals by drawing small lines that follow the curve of the petals. Shade in the stem and leaves, adding some shadow to create depth.
