How to draw a rose step by step – easy 7 step tutorial

  1. Start by drawing a cone with a circular bottom as if you are looking at the rose from an angle, so you can see the top as well as the side of the rose.
  2. In the center draw petals in circular shapes as shown in the photo bellow.
  3. Keep adding petals but as you near the outwards corners of the rose the petals should be rounding out more. You can see in the photos below how the petals need to look and how to layer them.
  4. Outline the outer side of the body of the rose so it fits well with the petals.
  5. Now it is time to draw the bulb. Keep in mind, however, that we only see a small part of it, because of the angle in which we have drawn the rose.
  6. Add two vertical lines for the stem.
  7. Add the leaf and add a bit of shading to add depth to your drawing.

This is such an easy tutorial

Realistic rose drawing

  1. Start by drawing three circles as shown in the photo below.
  2. Add a heart shape around the circle in the middle, leaving a little tail. Also add a little squiggle in the middle of the circle.
  3. Now it is time to add a few petals. Look at the step by step photo tutorial below for reference.
  4. Keep adding petals around the second circle.
  5. As you are adding more petals to that second circle you will see the shape of your flower begin to form. Now you can erase the second circle with an eraser.

6. Now it is time to draw petals around the third circle. When you are done erase the third circle as well.

7. Keep adding petals to make sure that your rose has a finished look.

8. Now using a pencil and your eraser, define the lines of the petals. And remember the lines don’t have to be perfect, this will make your rose look more interesting.

9. Time to start shading. Start with shading between the petals first.

10. Keep shading the petals. This is a bit of trial and error. Shade as much as you want to add depth to the rose. If you see something that you don’t like, simply erase it.
