Does your child want to learn how to draw and is cranky because he can’t draw flowers? You can easily and simply draw a rose if you do it step by step. This type of drawing is accessible even to the smallest, you just need to pick up a pencil and prepare blank slate and guided by our detailed instructions teach your child to draw such a wonderful flower as a rose.
So let's get started. Firstly set up a work desk. There is no other way, because the baby should feel like a real artist. A bright and free table is what you need. A comfortable chair for a child is also important, you don’t want the child to sit crouched or askew.
Secondly Let's prepare the artist's supplies:
- blank A4 sheets (no need to shred),
- simple is better soft pencil,
- eraser,
- colored pencils or crayons (some people prefer paint).
Are you ready? Show your baby technological map. Don’t laugh, it’s called so complicated for you, dear adults, but for kids it’s just a template. To make the rose beautiful, we will draw it exactly according to the template. Explain to your child that step by step means in a clear sequence.
First step. First draw the stem. It doesn’t have to be straight, the stem can be slightly curved, because in nature there are no clear and regular lines. Our stem will go diagonally to the leaf. At the top of the stem we will draw thin line circle. 
Second step. Let's make the rose stem thicker and draw a second line for this. Let's outline the basics of leaves and thorns on it, but what would we do without them? In the ball - the future bud, in the very center we will draw a central petal with a curl.
Third step. Let's draw the leaves. Three things will do just fine. Don't draw the jagged edge yet. Let's add three more petals to the central petal in the bud, as if emerging from one another.
Fourth step. Let's draw the rest of the rose petals. Notice each subsequent row of flower petals is slightly larger than the previous one. Decorate the leaves of the rose with veins, pay attention child that our painted flower is looking more and more like a real one.
Fifth step. Erase the extra lines in the bud so that only the petals remain. Draw a perianth on the rose - triangular sharp leaves peeking out from under the flower. make a carved jagged edge to all three leaves and add thorns.
All that remains is to paint. Although wait, the pot or maybe the rose will have a ribbon. Let the child come up with an addition to the flower himself. Ready? It's a matter of color. The petals are scarlet. stem dark green, dark thorns. Well, how did it turn out to be a rose? Be sure to date the drawing and place your child's drawing on a shelf or frame. I think drawing a rose was not difficult.
Good luck to you and your child in your creativity!
- From this article you will learn how to draw one of the most beautiful flowers in the world - a rose. Many people associate the holiday, if not with roses, then with many flowers, bouquets and small flower arrangements.
- A beautiful drawing of a rose, which can be done either with a simple pencil or with paints, will also lift your spirits. The signed drawing will convey the holiday atmosphere to the hero of the occasion for a very long time.
- Even a novice artist can draw one rose or a whole bouquet on a piece of paper if he follows our step by step guides. By using a simple pencil and a few felt-tip pens, you can not only convey the basic shapes of the flower, but also draw the petals and transfer their beautiful curves to paper.
How to beautifully draw a rosebud step by step with a pencil: diagram
If you decide to depict an open rosebud, then you will need to draw each petal. We draw without pressing too hard on a simple pencil, so that later it is easy to remove unnecessary lines. Just add lines at each step, checking the original picture.
Adviсe:
- Start drawing from the top of the bud. The main thing here is to stick to the shape of a spiral, which resembles a not fully open bud.
- After this, stepping back a little, begin to draw the petal: the largest and unfolded larger than the others in size, and then the others - smaller.
- When the rose acquires recognizable contours, start adding volume. Stepping back from the top of the bud, draw its lower part. If you hold out long lines, then the flower will not look blooming.
- Draw the petals on the sides of the flower. If you decide to depict a lush flower, then add more petals.
How to draw a rose step by step with a pencil: diagram
- Despite the fact that the rose is a difficult flower to draw, artists often depict it on their canvases. If you are just starting to learn the basics of drawing, then it is better to opt for simpler colors.
For those who still decided to depict a rose without having great experience in drawing, masters reveal their secrets in master classes. Here are some of them:
- You can draw a rose without experience in drawing flowers. The main factors creating beautiful drawing are the presence of desire and the absence of haste.
- Diligence helps to open up artistic talents even those who have difficulty making the simplest drawing.
- To get started, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with several basic drawing lessons. Now there are many sites where such information is accessible and informative.
Roses go well with other flowers
- Watch tutorials that go into detail about application techniques. pencil strokes, about how to do shading correctly, and which paper is better to use for drawing with a simple pencil, and which for drawing with watercolors.
- It is also worth choosing pencils of the appropriate degree of hardness. However, do not overload yourself with unnecessary information. One or two lessons will be enough to depict a flower no worse than an experienced artist.
- Try drawing simple three-dimensional objects. This will help you understand how to arrange things on the paper.
- Be careful and do not rush, because extra lines will not decorate your drawing, but can only lead to irreparable mistakes. Yes, if you draw with a simple pencil, then all additional lines can be erased (drawn without strong pressure), but real artists avoid drawing unnecessary contours.
- Try to study the selected object before starting to draw, so that the picture is the smallest details could be reflected in your imagination.
- To begin, draw a flower with an unopened bud. Its contours will be much easier for a novice artist to depict. Follow further step by step explanations, adding new lines to the original contours.
- Regular exercises will help you transfer to paper even complex shapes and pictures.
Step 1: draw the outline of the rose bud and stem
- We carry out conditionally horizontal line, dividing the sheet into two halves. In the upper half of the sheet we begin to draw a circle. We don't need a perfect circle, the main thing is to guess the size of the initial outline.
- After all, we will place a bud inside the circle. All auxiliary lines carry out without pressing hard on the pencil.
- When the drawing is ready, we will get rid of them using an eraser. We draw two parallel lines under the circle curved lines. This will be the stem.
Step 2: draw the petals
- In the center of the circle we will draw the unopened part of the bud. After this, we will conditionally divide the bud into two halves (in our example, this auxiliary line is blue).
- Now it will be easier to navigate: we have the right and left parts of the bud on which we need to draw petals.
Drawing petals
Step 3: Draw the Leaves and Add the Bud Details
- Let's pay attention to the petals.
- You don't need to copy them exactly: just give them natural curves.
Adding leaves
Step 4: draw the petals
- At this stage you need to draw leaves on the stem. Here you can also turn on your imagination and add a few branches with leaves so that the picture looks advantageous and the flower does not seem lonely on a sheet of paper.
- When drawing branches with leaves, try to give them more realistic sizes and shapes. Too large leaves will immediately spoil general impression from the picture. Let's finish the veins on the leaves.
- Let's draw the petals in more detail. Additional lines can be removed now, or you can do this at the final stage. You just need to keep in mind that the beauty of a rose lies in the correct image of the petals.
- We begin to draw lines under the upper, previously drawn outline of the petal, connecting the edges. We will depict each petal with two lines, so we can create the impression of petals slightly curved at the edges. The two lines of the petals will also help in the future to correctly position the shadows on the bud.
Drawing shadows
Step 5: draw shadows
- The rose is almost ready. We just need to give it volume with the help of shadows. In order to depict a falling shadow, imagine which side of the rose is under the light source.
- Fill the recesses between the petals with darker shadows, trying to press the pencil a little harder. We also draw dark areas at the junction of the petals.
- After all the shadows have been applied to the flower, lightly rub the shaded areas with a fingertip. This simple technique allows you to smooth out sharp lines, which will make the drawing more delicate.
Step 6: final
- You can make this stage the final one and remove all auxiliary lines with an eraser. The rose will look more realistic if the tinting with a simple pencil is replaced with colored pencils or paints.
- You can decorate rose leaves green, and the bud - bright red or any other suitable shade. When drawing a rose with paints or colored pencils, do not forget to also draw in deeper shades of shadow. IN otherwise the flower will appear “flat”, two-dimensional.

How to draw a rose step by step with a pencil in the cells?
- Both children and adults like to draw in squares.
- If on album sheet it is necessary to make preliminary markings so that the picture fits into conditional boundaries, then when drawing by cells you only need to take into account the scale of the intended drawing and strictly adhere to the diagram.
- If you don’t know how to draw at all, then transferring schematic images in a box onto paper will not be difficult. The main thing is to be attentive and have some free time!
Drawing of a rose by cells
- And with a set necessary materials With this method of drawing it is quite simple: pictures can be created with felt-tip pens, colored pencils, markers, black and white using one simple pencil or even an ordinary ballpoint pen.
- One necessary condition: presence of a notebook in a square.
You can transfer ready-made simple circuits drawings, or come up with your own, using a photograph or picture you like as a basis. You don't need any knowledge of various complex drawing techniques.
- Why do we suggest drawing roses? Yes, because these flowers do an excellent job of decorating any diary or notebook.
- When drawing by cells, you need to start with the lightest diagrams, which provide a small number of cells for filling in with colored pencils.
- After simple pictures will begin to turn out without much effort, you can start sketching complex circuits, in which several colors are involved.

How to draw a bouquet of roses in a vase with a pencil and paints?
Having practiced drawing rosebuds open in varying degrees, you can proceed to more complex pattern– an image of a bouquet of roses in a vase.
Step 1: Let's prepare a draft and try to transfer the sketch of the drawing onto it. This will help you navigate the size of the future picture. We will also be able to outline in which part of the sheet we need to start drawing the initial lines.
Please note that the flowers in the vase are not positioned straight, but slightly tilted.
Step 2: a bouquet can be drawn without additional elements, but most often flowers collected together are drawn in a vase.
Step 3: flowers collected in a bouquet should differ in size and degree of fluffiness. Other flowers would be appropriate in such a still life. The main thing is that all elements are proportional.
Step 4: when all the flowers have taken their place permanent place in the picture, begin to add volume with the help of shadows, while deciding from which point the light falls on the bouquet of roses.
How to beautifully draw a heart with a rose with a pencil and paints?
A drawing depicting a rose with a heart will decorate both a birthday card and a Valentine's card. Let's try to draw a heart next to one of the most beautiful flowers - a rose.
- First, we draw the contours of a large heart. It will serve as the main element of the drawing, to which we will “complete” the missing details.
Let's start drawing a rose: outline the initial lines of the bud at the bottom of the heart.
Drawing a big heart
Add a few petals.
Drawing veins on the leaves
The most interesting thing remains: decorate the picture and frame it.
Beautiful drawings of roses for copying
If it is difficult for you to draw flowers from a photograph, then try to draw the contours of the pictures made experienced artists. Even with this method of drawing, you can show your imagination and choose colors yourself and experiment with their saturation.

I have prepared for you interesting master classes drawing roses in pencil and watercolor: from simple to the most complex. So quickly arm yourself with colored pencils and a brush - let's get started!
How to draw a rose with a pencil
1. Light movements Using a pencil, make a sketch of a rose: draw an oval bud and stem.
2. In the center of the oval, draw petals that look like a spiral.
3. Draw each petal clearly. Pay attention to all the bends and folds.
4. Make the necessary thickenings, highlighting the main lines on the flower and stem.
5. Great! Now do some shading in the shadow areas. This will make the rose more voluminous and more realistic.
Our masterpiece is ready to be tried on and decorate one of the walls of your room.
Interesting! Persia (Iran) is considered the birthplace of the rose. In the Persian language, the name of the flower sounds “gul”, and the country itself has long had a second name - Gulistan.
The Persians' interest in growing roses was picked up by the Greeks. One of Greek myths says: “When the goddess of beauty and love Aphrodite learned about the death of her beloved Adonis while hunting, she went to the mountains of Cyprus to look for the handsome man’s body. Thorn thorns and sharp stones wounded her fragile legs, and drops of blood falling to the ground turned into red roses.”
How to draw a rose step by step
If you are not new to drawing, and paper and pencil are your best friends, I suggest a complex version of drawing a rose with a pencil. Let's take the following image as an example:
1. Draw a long arc - a stem. Mark the upper and lower boundaries of the bud, as well as its center.
2. Now draw the middle of the bud. It consists of many curled leaves.
Gradually add other petals to the rose. Pay attention to the rigor and geometricity of the forms.
You will get a rose like this:
3. Draw the stem and leaves of the rose.
4. It's time to add shadows and make our flower voluminous. Look carefully at the photo of the rose and start shading the dark areas of the image. A soft pencil is ideal for shading.
5. Now add penumbra with light pencil movements. Note: petals that curl outward must have highlights and become darker closer to the edges.
6. Detail the leaves and add shadows to them.
That's it! The Queen of Flowers is ready.
Interesting! IN Ancient Rome The white rose was considered a symbol of silence. If during a ceremonial meal in the hall a flaunted white rose, everyone understood: the conversation at the table is not subject to disclosure. Still preserved catchphrase“Sub rosa dictum” (“I said under the rose”). This means that everything said is a big secret.
Roman soldiers wore rose wreaths to ward off fear before battle. Pink wreaths were also awarded to prominent figures in Rome.
How to paint a rose with watercolors
Roses painted in watercolors look especially sophisticated and elegant. To create the following image, the artist used professional paints. You can take the most common ones.
1. Select an image of a rose and make a subtle sketch. If it is difficult to do this yourself, on a sunny day, attach the drawing to the window and transfer it onto paper.
2. Apply an initial layer of paint. Color each petal separately. Before painting the next petal, let the previous one dry well, otherwise the colors will run.
To ensure the colors mix harmoniously:
- wet the petal with water and then apply paint,
- apply one color, then add another.
3. In addition to pink and orange shades, add purple, blue and cherry shades. This way you will be able to make the drawing rich.
4. When the roses are completely dry, move on to the background. The role of the background will be played by colored spots. Paints must be applied to wet paper.
5. When the first layer of paint is completely dry, start working on the shadows of the flowers. Along with coral, pink and red flowers, add yellow, purple, blue shades. The flower will become beautiful and expressive.
6. Make the background deeper by applying another layer of paint on top of the previous one. But make sure that the background does not stain the flowers or overshadow them. It is not very good if the surroundings are brighter than the object being depicted.
7. Detail the image by adding veins and shadows to some of the petals.
Congratulations! The picture is ready.
Interesting! Today there are 6,000 species of roses bred by humans. But the Japanese were the most impressive. They managed to grow a chameleon rose. This amazing flower changes color depending on the light. During the day the rose is scarlet, in the evening it is white.

4. Draw petals inside the buds. Don't forget the sepals.
5. And lastly, draw the leaves. There must be a lot of them, because we have a whole bouquet of roses. Draw on a vase vertical lines. Make shading in the right places.
Color the picture with colored pencils and give it to someone you love very much.
Rose is the recognized queen of flowers, loved by millions of people. Since ancient times, it has been a symbol of love, sung by poets, artists and great composers.
At first glance, draw beautiful rose It’s not difficult at all, although, of course, it depends on your level of preparation. However, almost everyone faces difficulties when drawing, some at the stage of creating an outline with a pencil, others at the stage of drawing shadows with paints.
How to draw a rose step by step for beginning artists will be discussed below.
Drawing a rose - step-by-step instructions for children and their parents
Stage 1. Drawing contours. To begin, draw the outlines of the future flower with thin interrupted lines. Externally, these outlines resemble a polygon. On the sides, draw 2 or 3 broken triangles - they will later become rose petals. In the center of the polygon, draw a circle without bringing its ends together (see image 1.1).
Stage 2. Draw the petals. The creative part of creating a drawing. The petals inside the outline are drawn in a chaotic order and of any size. We also advise you to depict them with thin interrupted lines, so that in the future, if necessary, you can correct the sketch without leaving marks (see image 1.2).
Having finished with the petals inside the outline, add splendor to the sketch by drawing similar petals, but outside it.
Petals can be depicted with smooth curves, curls, or rounding - as you like. Don't be afraid to experiment by periodically comparing your sketch to the template.
After the petals, move on to decorating the leaves. Give the outlined triangular contours smooth shapes, not forgetting to draw the leaves inside (see image 1.3).
Stage 3. Creating shadows with a pencil. To look natural, the painted flower does not have enough shadows. Select small areas of the drawing, which must include the side petals, the core and leaves, and create shadows on them with light dashed lines (see sketch 1.4).
The picture is ready.
How to draw a bouquet of roses in a vase
Have you learned to draw a rose using the method described above? Then you won’t find it difficult to draw a bouquet of these flowers.
Usually bouquets are depicted in vases, so we will give just such an example. To create a sketch, let's take a bouquet of three roses as a basis (see image 2.1).
Let's start drawing from the bottom flower. To create a blossoming bud, use the steps described in the "How to draw a rose" section.
In the same way, draw the remaining two buds, one slightly higher and to the right, draw the other above them (see image 2.2).
After creating the blossoming buds, move on to depicting the stems and leaves. Fill the space between the flowers with them, giving the picture volume. Pay special attention to the leaves of the lower rose, as they will hang down the vase (see image 2.3).
Now let's start drawing the vase itself. To do this, visually determine the middle of the lower bud and draw a small straight line from this point down. Draw a straight line on the right in the same way, maintaining the proportions so that the vase looks natural. Two straight lines define the neck of the vase. After drawing two arcs, create its shape. The straight line connecting the arcs will serve as the bottom of the vase (see image 2.4).
The sketch is ready. Last step– creating shadows with light shading. Try to vary the pressure on the pencil to create a natural shadow. The leaves should be shaded more dark shade, petals – light. Don't forget to shade the vase to give the image volume (see image 2.5).
The picture is ready.
How to paint a rose with watercolors
The first step to painting a flower in watercolor is creating a sketch. You can either draw it yourself or purchase a ready-made one.
Determine a palette of colors for yourself, and for painting the petals, choose two or three shades that are in harmony with each other. As you paint, apply one color first, then another. This is done to ensure a smooth transition and create a realistic picture.
Before starting work, lightly moisten the drawing with water and then begin to apply the first layer of paint to the petals, carefully painting them over. Before starting a new petal, wait until the previous one is completely dry, so as not to accidentally spoil the design (see image 3.1).
The most popular shades of flowers are pink, orange, purple, blue and cherry, mixed with each other.
When the first layer is dry, start creating shadows. To do this, identify the darkened areas (most often these are the bends of the petals and the core) and carefully add darker colors there. Then choose two or three petals for yourself and add saturation to them. Finally, don’t forget about the leaves and stem, which should also stand out in color (see image 3.2).
If desired, add a background while painting the details using a similar color palette. In this case, paints should also be applied to paper damp from water (see image 3.3.).
The picture is ready.
Having learned to draw roses on paper, many continue to improve and are eventually able to depict them even on their nails, which, of course, requires exceptional skill. If the described methods seem complicated, first try to draw the flower you like cell by cell with a pencil, pen or felt-tip pens. To do this, you will need a notebook and a drawing example, which you can either create yourself or purchase in a store.
Let's warm up by starting with a simple bowl shape. Musicians warm up by playing scales, athletes warm up by stretching their muscles, and we artists warm up by drawing some simple basic shapes!!
1. Draw two anchor points, placing them horizontally, opposite each other.
2. Connect the dots with an ellipse. 
The ellipse is one of the key shapes that is used to create thousands of objects. Similar in importance to the trapezoid, which allows you to draw boxes, tables, houses and so on, the ellipse will allow you to draw three-dimensional curved surfaces of cylindrical objects: a cup, a rose, a tiger cub, a hat, a jellyfish. Practice drawing six ovals in a row using anchor points.
3. Draw the bottom of the cup. 
4. Using a guide line to the SW (you should draw it from memory), indicate the position of the light source in the upper right corner. Draw a horizon line. Shade the bowl from dark to light, creating a smooth, shaded transition. Look at the huge visual effect that little shaded piece in the right corner of the cup creates. This little shaded detail will be very important when you draw a rose, lily, orchid or any other flower.
5. Now, before drawing the rose, I want to introduce you to one important detail that I call “peeking” lines. This tiny detail - the small line of overlap that defines the folds or folds - has a huge visual impact, allowing you to make rose petals appear around the bud. Best exercise to introduce you to this fun flying flag activity.
5a. Draw a vertical flagpole.5b. Pick two anchor points. 
5th century Draw three quarters of an ellipse. 
5g. Draw the width of the flag. 
5d. Round the bottom edge of the flag a little more than the top. The bottom part is closer to you, so you need to distort it by bending it more than the top part.
5e. Draw the "peeping" line, the most important part of the exercise. This tiny line creates a huge visual effect. This uses overlap, location and size all at once.
5g. Looks great! Now let's spin the flag in the opposite direction.5z. Draw two anchor points of the ellipse. 
5i. Draw a three-quarter ellipse, but this time twist it top edge on yourself. 5k. Draw the width of the flag on each edge. Make sure you make the closest one a little longer so it appears closer.
5l. Curl the bottom of the flag. Remember to bend it a little more. This is where distortion is your friend. 
5m. The lower back line should be drawn a little more curved than the front, guided by the law of location. Take a look at the sample.
5n. Now, let's apply all these curved lines to the swirly flag. This exercise will be transferred directly to the rose. Draw another flagpole. 
5o. Pick two anchor points and draw half an ellipse that curves towards you. 
5p. Start twisting the ellipse inward. 
5 rub. Complete the spiral. Stretch it to the side and always keep the middle close. We'll also discuss this when we draw water ripples in a later tutorial. 
5s. Draw the width of the flag. 
5t. Curl the bottom edge of the flag a little more than the top. 
5u. “Push” the back bottom edge further away. 
5f. Draw the important "peeking out" lines of each edge. It's definitely "BAM!" the moment of a drawing when it becomes three-dimensional. 
5x. Draw very dark "secret" shadows between the intersecting lines of the flag. As a general rule, the smaller the cracks, crevices, and corners, the more you will darken them and the more depth you will give to the drawing. Finish with blending. 
I know that the warm-up was a lot for one lesson;), but now it will be much easier for you. A good practice is to draw a cup and three different flags. Now let's use the techniques we just learned to drawing roses.
How to draw a rose?
6. Draw a bowl and add a stem to it. 
7. Draw an anchor point in the middle of the bud. 
8. Start drawing the petals in a three-quarter ellipse spiral. 
9. Continue twisting the spiral, sticking to these ellipses. This distorted form forms a three-dimensional bud. 
10. Finish the spiral on the outside of the bud. Erase the extra lines. 
11. Draw the central thickness of the petals and the first “peeking out” line. We're almost to the "BAM!" moment. 
12. Draw the next peeking line. 
13. Draw the remaining width line. BAM! Here it is - the depth has focused on our beautiful rose. 
14. Draw very dark and very small “secret” shadows inside. Please note that you also need to do some shading along the edges of the petals. 
15. Complete the rose by placing the light source in the top right corner and casting shadows on each curved surface opposite. Draw some thorns on the stem and leaves. Done!LESSON 9: PRACTICAL TASK
