The essential equipment for a successful rose

To draw the first lines of your flower, take a pencil , a criterium, a pen , a black marker or even a marker .
As a support for your sketch, you can opt for a white sheet , a rigid drawing sheet of the Canson type or even a colored sheet.
Then to color your rose full of techniques available to you, all you have to do is make your own choice between; colored pencils , markers , oil or water -based paint, gouache , chalks or crayons … or any other options that we hadn’t imagined.
Two other essentials will be necessary for you, it is nothing other than the famous pencil sharpener and an eraser in order to obtain the best possible result and to be able to erase all the failed lines.
We remind you that drawing lessons are just a hobby and an activity, you have the opportunity to learn how to make different elements, but there is no pressure to put yourself under any circumstances. We are here to have fun and the result is not very important so let yourself go and let your creativity and inspiration speak .
Finally, if you prefer to work with a paper version of our tutorial, this possibility is available at the end of this page.
Above all, have fun !

Step 1: The center of the rose

Let’s go ! We are going to start our tutorial on how to draw a rose, make sure you have all the necessary materials to hand and if it is good for you then we are going to start.
The first step is very simple… Just draw an oval shape at the top of your page.
And now step one is complete. (We did tell you that we are simplifying the drawing for you)
More seriously if your shape is not quite oval and it is perhaps closer to a banal round it does not matter on the contrary, because the rose is the fruit of nature and all roses does not look alike. The “flaws” of your lines will make the difference and the beauty of the flower.

Step 2: The rose bud

This step is again very simple.
In the center of your oval shape from the previous step you will be able to draw a spiral starting from the center of your oval and which will join your shape at a point.
Your bud is now finished.

Step 3: The sketches of the petals

Let’s get down to business now: the rose petals.
For this you will draw a heart around your oval from step 1.
You’ll start the heart by touching the top of the bud, the rest of the strokes don’t have to touch the oval.
We remind you that if the heart touches the bud at several points, it does not matter.

Step 4: The first petal

We are going to move on to making the first petal .
To do this, take your pencil and draw a shape along the right side of the from step 3.
This shape should follow the curve of the heart and descend until it forms a point
Do not panic, let yourself be guided by the sketch of Charles the Little Farmer below

Step 5: The second petal

Our rose will have to have a second petal .
It will be a question here of drawing a new curve retracing the right side, this time, of our heart.
The line will thus join the line of the previous step.
And here are the petals of your flower are now finished.

Step 6: The continuation of the rose

Your flower isn’t finished yet, but don’t worry these are just the last few details, the biggest is done.
First, you will be able to finish your flower by drawing a U shape starting from the bottom of our left petal, going down forming a pot shape, then going up to reach the bottom of our right petal.
All shapes are acceptable, let your creativity and your pencil strokes take over.

Step 7: Finalizing the flower

It’s all in the final details …
In this step, we are simply going to add a few lines to add realism to our rose.
At the level of the oval shape of step 1, add at the bottom of the latter and on each side, a line that will connect the shape to the heart.
At the level of the right petal add in the continuity of its point a curve which will thus connect it with the base of the flower.

Step 8: Leaves

In this new step, we are going to draw small leaves at the base of our rose.
Below the rose draw some kind of triangular shapes resembling flowers.
You can draw four like us, but there can also be more or less.

Step 9: The stem and the last leaf

Still a little patience your rose will hatch! We are well and truly at the penultimate stage of our drawing.
In this step, we will be able to draw a stem and a large rose leaf .
For the stem nothing could be simpler, draw two lines, starting from below the leaves of the bud and going down parallel to the bottom of your drawing sheet.
For the large leaf then, draw a leaf, on the left or right side of the stem, which will be connected to the latter with a small line, and which will be crossed in its entire length by a line.
Refer to our sketch if in doubt!
For more realism you can add, all along the stem, small staggered peaks .

Step 10: Coloring our rose

Congratulations little budding designers. You have arrived at the last stage of the realization of the rose: its coloring .
Indeed, it is now necessary to embellish it by giving it colors.
For the stem and the leaves, we advise you to color these elements in green .
As for the flower, we opted for red , but you can choose pink, blue, yellow …. or even mix colors.

Your rose is wonderful, worthy of the one found at the florist or seen in the movies. You have some great talents, I say! Why not come and continue training by going to see all of our drawing tutorials of the farm and its animals ?
