Among the incredible abundance of flowering plants, the rose can easily be called the most popular flower. The rose is rightfully considered the queen, because it boasts a rich variety of shades, a slender stem and incredibly delicate petals. It was a million roses that the unknown artist gave to his beloved. You don’t have to spend your entire fortune on bouquets that will sooner or later lose their beauty, but give a painted bouquet of roses. By following simple tips, you can easily cope with this task and give a good mood to your loved one.
If you've never drawn before, try drawing a rose in the easiest way known, in just four steps. You will need a red pencil or felt-tip pen (you can take any other color or shade you like) for the bud and green for the stem. We draw an arbitrary spiral, then we draw out the petals and at the last stage we finish drawing the stem and several leaves.
To add volume and realism to the picture, add shadows. First, think about which side the light falls on the rose. After this, using gentle pressure, shade the required areas. If desired, you can paint the rose with watercolors or colored pencils.
- 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. With the help of a simple pencil and several 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 draw long lines, the flower will look unblown.
- 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 decide to depict a rose without much 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 for creating a beautiful drawing are desire and lack of haste.
- Diligence helps to reveal the artistic talents of even those who have difficulty creating 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 the lessons, which tell in detail about the techniques of applying pencil strokes, 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 in the smallest detail can 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. Then follow the step-by-step explanations, adding new lines to the original contours.
- Regular practice will help you transfer even complex shapes and pictures onto paper.
Step 1: draw the outline of the rose bud and stem
- We draw a 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. We draw all the auxiliary lines without pressing hard on the pencil.
- When the drawing is ready, we will get rid of them using an eraser. We draw two parallel curved lines under the circle. 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 the overall impression of 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. At the junction of the petals we also draw dark areas.
- 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 harsh 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 the rose leaves with green, and the bud with 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. Otherwise, the flower will look “flat”, two-dimensional.

How to draw a bouquet of roses in a vase with a pencil and paints?
Having practiced drawing rosebuds, open to varying degrees, you can begin a more complex drawing - 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 take their 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.

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, drawing a beautiful rose is not at all difficult, 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. The last step is to create shadows with light shading. Try to vary the pressure on the pencil to create a natural shadow. The leaves should be shaded with a darker shade, the petals with a lighter shade. 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 select 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.
Rose. How beautiful is this flower, personifying love and devotion! The floral symbolism of the rose goes deep into history. After all, even in ancient times, people made different ones and gave them to each other as a sign of love and respect. Thus, one given rose was equivalent to heartfelt recognition.
