A rose is an amazingly beautiful flower with an interesting bud shape, graceful petals, and a rich palette of colors. No wonder the queen of flowers is present on many greeting cards, and artists love to depict her very much. Schoolchildren also like to draw roses to please their mother, grandmother, beloved teacher, or just to admire a beautiful composition. Of course, children's masterpieces are simple and spontaneous, but adults can help a child improve his visual skills. For example, step-by-step drawing can be successfully used in various techniques.
Necessary tools and materials for drawing
For the fruitful creative activity of a student, adults, first of all, must equip him with a workplace - provide a spacious table. A comfortable chair is of great importance: a young artist should not sit bent over.
To work in various techniques, you will need the following tools:
- sheets of white paper A4;
- colored loose cardboard (for gouache painting);
- a simple pencil (soft or hard-soft), always sharpened;
- eraser;
- colored pencils (as an option - wax crayons);
- gouache;
- watercolor paints;
- brushes of different thicknesses.
You can draw a rose in graphic technique, colored pencils, paints
Another task for an adult is to prepare technological maps with step-by-step drawing schemes in advance so that the child always has them at hand (these may well be photographs from thematic sites).
How to draw a rose step by step with a pencil
A rose is not only a very beautiful flower, but also a rather complex object for drawing (a bud consists of many petals nested one inside the other). But if the child draws it with a pencil in stages, then he will succeed.
Do not press too hard on the tool when applying the first strokes. The approximate outlines of the flower should be such that the student can easily erase them in case of a mistake. You can draw brighter lines at the final stage of work (you can use a soft pencil for this purpose).
rose buds
A flower arrangement may consist only of a bud (or several), without a stem, surrounded by petals.
- First, you should outline the center of the bud.
The first stage is the designation of the central part of the bud
- After that, we build petals of various shapes around the center, below and above, on the sides. The degree of fluffiness of the flower depends on how much the artist extends the lines of the bud.
Petals of arbitrary shape should depart from the center in different directions
- Gradually, the rose becomes more and more magnificent.
The queen of flowers is getting more and more magnificent
- And finally, the charming bud is ready.
Lush bud already drawn
- The next stage of drawing is the image of the leaves. They should also be of different sizes and differ from each other in shape: some are fancifully curved, while others are more straight.
Around the bud, leaves of different sizes and shapes are depicted.
- And the final touch - you need to designate the veins on the leaves so that they become more realistic.
To make the image more realistic, you need to mark the veins on the leaves
Another way to depict a bud is to start with a spiral, gradually building petals around it.
The center of the rosebud resembles a spiral
Unblown rosebuds also look charming. The base in this case will be a small semicircle - it is from it that the stem stretches, at the bottom the bud is surrounded by small green leaves. In the upper part, you need to add a few petals: the degree of pomp of the flower depends on their number.
Drawing a half-closed bud begins with a semicircle, inside which petals are depicted
rose with stem
The next version of the rose is a flower with a stem and leaves. Let the bud be almost closed again.
- Let's start with the base of the bud and stem - this is not a big problem.
First, we depict the stem and the skeleton of the bud
- Next, draw the flower bud and its stem, designate the leaves.
We outline the leaves and the bud
- Then we make the leaves carved, and the bud more magnificent. The flower is ready, it remains only to color it.
The image remains only to paint in the appropriate color
Drawing a rose in a vase
Look great on the drawings of roses in vases or pots. Starting the creative process, the young artist must decide where he will start work: with a flower or a vase.
- The bud is depicted according to the already familiar scheme: loose or unopened.
First, we denote the buds at a certain distance from each other
- Then neat pointed leaves are added.
We draw beautiful small leaves
- At the last stage, a vase is depicted. You can play with its shape: make it more convex in the middle, in the form of a trapezoid, a long rectangle, etc.
The last stage - drawing a vase
Coloring the sketch with colored pencils
After the child learns to realistically draw roses with a simple pencil, you can start coloring the silhouette with colored pencils or crayons. The following important points are taken into account.
As for the colors used, roses are most often depicted by children in red. But this flower can have many other shades in the composition: pink, yellow, orange, lilac. Roses painted in a very dark shade of red - almost black - look spectacular.
Note that younger students in their drawings often simply fill in the intended contour with the desired color.
In the drawings of a younger student, there are usually no shadow transitions.
A small shadow on the petals looks much more interesting in the figure.
At an older age, children can already designate a shadow
Also, a spectacular artistic solution is the edging of the petals of a different color (for example, purple or brown, if it is pink or red).
The edging of the flower can be made in a different color - it always looks beautiful

The specifics of gouache drawing for beginners
Children love to paint flowers with gouache. After all, the compositions always turn out to be bright and expressive. This technique is ideal for beginner artists: errors and inaccuracies can be masked without damaging the picture.
Since gouache is opaque and contains white, you need to draw from dark to light, but not vice versa. First, the child must decide on the composition and color palette, and then begins to paint the dark areas. Light highlights and color accents are indicated in the final work.
In a gouache drawing, the background is of particular importance. It can be of two types.
- Uniform shading outside the pencil sketch: the rose itself and the background are indicated by certain colors.
- Fill. First, the background of the picture is drawn up, and when it dries, the flower is drawn directly (as an option, you can initially use not white paper, but colored cardboard).
Consider specific examples of drawing roses with gouache.
Bouquet of roses
- We make a pencil sketch of a flower arrangement.
Future roses are marked with circles
- Shades of green fill the background and draw the leaves.
The entire surface of the paper, with the exception of roses, is painted over with green shades.
- The next step is the design of the buds. Each of them is first painted over with white gouache. Until it dries, the petals are indicated by strokes of red.
Rosebuds are painted over with white gouache and complemented with red strokes.
- The final part of the work - with the help of a thin brush with white gouache, individual petals, leaves, blades of grass are highlighted. The composition is ready.
Fine decorative details are applied with white gouache
Rose on a green background
Gouache is good because it allows you to draw on a dark background. So, for a rose, you can choose a dark green base.
- Draw a red rosebud with a thin brush.
Draw a red bud on a green background with a brush
- The resulting image is blurred with water.
Blurring with water will create overflows of shades.
- With the help of light green gouache we depict a thin stem and graceful leaves. Thorns and veins on the leaves are denoted by a darker shade of green.
Draw the stem and leaves in different shades of green
- Next, we make the bud more voluminous: we mark the borders of the petals with a light pink color.
We decorate the petals in the bud with a pale pink color
- The final stage of the drawing is work on the background. Let's create beautiful overflows with the help of green strokes of a dark and light shade.
Strokes of light and dark green will make the background more expressive
Features of watercolor painting
Painting with watercolors is a more responsible job, since the flaws will already be obvious. But this technique allows you to create delicate and sophisticated flower arrangements. After some practice, the student will be able to draw quite realistic roses, from which it seems to breathe freshness.
First, again, a pencil sketch is made. At the same time, the drawing should be slightly noticeable (no need to put pressure on the tool). Then comes the watercolor. We must wash the paint with water: it should be almost transparent, without a pronounced color. When painting a bud, it is better to use several shades to make the rose look natural.
It is better to fix the paper with tape or buttons: when it gets wet and then dries, ugly waves can form.
Let's consider a specific example.
- The first stage is a pencil sketch of a rose.
Pencil sketch lines should be thin and soft.
- Raspberry paint is strongly diluted with water and applied with a thick brush to the surface of the bud. We mark the lower part of it with light green watercolor (also very diluted).
The bud is painted with highly diluted raspberry paint
- When the initial layer dries, the edges of the petals are shaded with paints of warm tones. The background is indicated by a dark cold tone (for example, purple). This will visually make the rose brighter. In this case, the light parts of the rose are shaded in a dark tone, and the dark parts, respectively, in a light tone. Color heterogeneity is only welcome: the image will be more natural. To indicate the veins on the petals, you need a thin brush. She is working on the base and the middle of the bud. It is important not to overdo it with dark shades, otherwise the pattern may become “cartoonish”.
Hello, Dear readers of my blog, Recently my child asked me to help her draw some kind of flower. And since I'm a complete zero in drawing. So I decided to draw a flower. Of course, the most famous flower is the rose. Therefore, we will draw a rose. Of course, I will not post my art here, but I will show several different ways.
I want to draw your attention to the fact that the first time it may not work out, it’s impossible according to the instructions or photos if you don’t know how to draw everything to do it right. Skill comes with practice. At the end of the article there will be several videos where you can see how roses are drawn live
How to draw a rose with a pencil for beginners step by step
1. Draw a simple spiral with a pencil on a piece of paper. We choose the size ourselves.2. From the middle of the spiral drawn by us, we draw a perpendicular thin line straight down. We select the length of the line ourselves, depending on how long the flower you want to have. Draw a wavy line upwards from the point of the line,
3. On the other hand, draw another similar line and connect it to the base of the drawn spiral
4. Now we need to draw leaves for our rose. From our wavy line that is connected to the spiral, draw another line.
5. We connect our lines by drawing leaves.
6. Draw the leaves by connecting the lines together. after which we draw lines inside the spiral, connecting them with the base of the rose
7. Our rose is almost drawn, it remains to paint on the bottom of the stem and the receptacle from which it will go.
9. It remains for us to draw a few more elements with a pencil so that our rose becomes alive. draw leaves on the left side.
10. To keep the layout of the symmetry of the flower pattern on the other side, draw more leaves. With the help of simple steps, we were able to draw a rose
How to draw a rose with a pencil easily
From the example above, you understood how you can make a wonderful drawing in stages. In the picture below you can see how within 5-15 minutes, depending on the drawing experience, you can draw a rose with a pencil.

| How to draw a rose with a pencil very quickly |
- draw a circle, immediately lower the stem down from it. Draw an oval a little higher above the circle
- connect the oval and the circle with two wavy lines. From the circle to the sides we draw two more wavy lines, from which we will create the leaves of our rose. We paint leaves to the stem.
- Inside our oval, carefully draw a spiral with a pencil, and flower leaves.
- erase the line of the circle inside the rose with an eraser.
How to draw a rose with open petals step by step
1. First of all, to create our rose, we create a simple outline - draw a circle of the size we need. Our bud with petals will be located in it. draw the bottom stem2. In the middle of our circle, draw an oval which will be the center of our flower. We throw thin oval lines and a triangle from which we will build off and draw our rose petals.
3. Now you can carefully draw our bud petals. We outline the outer and inner petals with a thin line, if it doesn’t work out, you can always gently erase it with an eraser and try again. After you are satisfied with the sketch, you can proceed to the next step.
5. Once you are completely satisfied with the drawn petals, start tracing the outlines with a pencil to highlight the petals even more.
Then we draw shadows. If you do not know how to apply shadows with a pencil, then I recommend reading special articles on the Internet about this. As a rule, shadows are superimposed under objects in dark places. If you have a rose at home, take a look at it. Where are the darker places in it? Shadows are drawn the same way. You can also look at other objects in the house and how they cast shadows.
How to draw a rose with a pencil step by step with a photo
We draw our sketch of a rosebud with a petal, in which we will draw our flower.
As you have already seen in other examples, we need to draw a circle in which we will draw a rose. When the hand is already well stuffed, then without it you can already do without it. And immediately draw the contours of the petals.

| create the outline of our rose |
Gradually, draw the outlines of the petals inside our circle. If something doesn't work, you can always erase it with an eraser and start over.
After you have dealt with the rose petals inside, proceed to create the outer ones.
Unnecessary elements that we no longer need are erased.

- Fill. First, the background of the picture is drawn up, and when it dries, the flower is drawn directly (as an option, you can initially use not white paper, but colored cardboard).
Consider specific examples of drawing roses with gouache.
Bouquet of roses
- We make a pencil sketch of a flower arrangement.
Future roses are marked with circles
- Shades of green fill the background and draw the leaves.
The entire surface of the paper, with the exception of roses, is painted over with green shades.
- The next step is the design of the buds. Each of them is first painted over with white gouache. Until it dries, the petals are indicated by strokes of red.

Rose on a green background
Gouache is good because it allows you to draw on a dark background. So, for a rose, you can choose a dark green base.
- Draw a red rosebud with a thin brush.
Draw a red bud on a green background with a brush
- The resulting image is blurred with water.
Blurring with water will create overflows of shades.
- With the help of light green gouache we depict a thin stem and graceful leaves. Thorns and veins on the leaves are denoted by a darker shade of green.
Draw the stem and leaves in different shades of green
- Next, we make the bud more voluminous: we mark the borders of the petals with a light pink color.
We decorate the petals in the bud with a pale pink color
- The final stage of the drawing is work on the background. Let's create beautiful overflows with the help of green strokes of a dark and light shade.
Strokes of light and dark green will make the background more expressive
Features of watercolor painting
Painting with watercolors is a more responsible job, since the flaws will already be obvious. But this technique allows you to create delicate and sophisticated flower arrangements. After some practice, the student will be able to draw quite realistic roses, from which it seems to breathe freshness.
First, again, a pencil sketch is made. At the same time, the drawing should be slightly noticeable (no need to put pressure on the tool). Then comes the watercolor. We must wash the paint with water: it should be almost transparent, without a pronounced color. When painting a bud, it is better to use several shades to make the rose look natural.
It is better to fix the paper with tape or buttons: when it gets wet and then dries, ugly waves can form.
Let's consider a specific example.
- The first stage is a pencil sketch of a rose.
Pencil sketch lines should be thin and soft.
- Raspberry paint is strongly diluted with water and applied with a thick brush to the surface of the bud. We mark the lower part of it with light green watercolor (also very diluted).
The bud is painted with highly diluted raspberry paint
- When the initial layer dries, the edges of the petals are shaded with paints of warm tones. The background is indicated by a dark cold tone (for example, purple). This will visually make the rose brighter. In this case, the light parts of the rose are shaded in a dark tone, and the dark parts, respectively, in a light tone. Color heterogeneity is only welcome: the image will be more natural. To indicate the veins on the petals, you need a thin brush. She is working on the base and the middle of the bud. It is important not to overdo it with dark shades, otherwise the pattern may become “cartoonish”.
1. The contour of a rosebud is easy to draw
First you need to draw the outline of the rosebud petals. It is not difficult to draw a circle at the top of a sheet of paper for this. It is not necessary to draw it perfectly even, it is important to consider that the rose flower will be inside this outline, so immediately draw a suitable size for the outline of the bud. Do not forget that the bright lines are secondary and in the next steps of the drawing we will remove them. draw a rose continue in the next step, but for now, add a stem to the bud.
2. How to draw rose petals
First, draw the still unopened part of the bud in the very center of the rose. After that, divide the bud into two parts with a line (in the figure it is blue). Now it will be convenient and easy to draw the lines of the petals of the left and right parts of the bud.
3. Draw the leaves and bud details
Now you need to draw rose petals in detail. The contours of the petals do not have to be copied exactly from my drawing, they may have a different shape.
4. We continue to draw the petals
First, draw the stem of the flower with leaves. The number of branches and leaves draw arbitrarily. The main thing is not to make the leaves too big. Note that rose leaves are veined. For greater realism, they also need to be drawn. It remains to remove the extra contours and draw the petals in detail. In the correct image of the petals lies the whole beauty of the rose pattern. The top outline of each petal is drawn with two lines joining at the edge of the petal. This gives the impression that the edges of the petals are bent. This will also help us in the next step to create shadows in the bud, which will make rose drawing voluminous.
5. How to shade a rose with a simple pencil
At this stage, you have already drawn a real rose, it remains only to add shadows to the flower drawing will become voluminous. Imagine which side the bright light will be on to determine which side of the rose will be more lit. Where there will be recesses between the petals, you need to draw the shadows "thicker", pressing harder on the pencil. Shadows should also be at the junction of the petals. Lightly rub with your finger all the areas shaded with a pencil. This method smooths out sharp pencil lines, and rose drawing will look softer.
6. Drawing a rose on a graphics tablet
The drawing will look much more spectacular if, instead of tinting with a simple pencil, paint the rose with paints or colored pencils. Be sure to consider lighting when coloring with colored pencil. Without shadows, the rose will look "flat", two-dimensional. A picture of a rose with a simple pencil can even be slightly "tinted" with colored pencils. This is how I made the drawing of a rosebud (see below).
Coloring a drawing of a rose with paints would be just perfect, but only if you have them and if you know how to use them.
A rose can be drawn in many ways. In this way, it is convenient to draw an opened bud, drawing in detail each rose petal. Do not forget that the bright lines are secondary and in the next step of the drawing we will remove them. This step of the drawing lesson without comments, it is an addition to the main lesson. At each stage, you need to add selected lines with a pencil. They are colored blue.
After you learn how to draw a picture of one rose correctly, you can proceed to a more difficult task - to draw a beautiful bouquet of roses. Pay attention to how real roses stand in a vase, some of them have small buds that have not yet opened, the stems are tilted, the leaves have different sizes. The best way to draw a bouquet of roses is to draw a living bouquet, first with a simple pencil, and then paint with paints. But even if you do not have a real bouquet of roses, you can draw roses from a color picture or photo.
My very first painting with roses. The still life is made with oil paints. Please do not criticize much, I was only 12 years old.
The lesson on how to draw a ballerina is designed for those who already know how to draw well, since it is not easy to draw a person, especially to be able to convey the grace and grace of the dance. Ballerinas are given flowers, so you can draw a bouquet of roses lying on the stage.
Almost all flower drawings on the site are made in stages on a graphics tablet. You can use a color picture to color a flower that you have drawn in stages with a simple pencil.
There are millions of flowers on our planet, several hundred varieties of roses alone. When drawing a bouquet, you can add tulips or several roses, the main thing is that the color of the rose is combined with other flowers. The bouquet in the picture can be decorated with ribbons, leaves from other flowers.
Chamomile drawing is the easiest task and any beginner can learn to draw. Try to draw a chamomile, if this task is not difficult for you, then the drawing of a rose will also be "on the shoulder".
If you are drawing a rose, a butterfly drawing can decorate and complement the rose drawing. Draw a butterfly flying up to the rose or sitting on the top leaf. There is no need to draw a butterfly on the bud itself, since this is the main object of the rose drawing.
The house can be drawn in many ways, such as making a roof of tiles, drawing double doors, or adding a chimney lined with bricks for a fireplace. To revive the landscape near the house, you can draw roses growing in a flower bed.
I have prepared for you interesting workshops for drawing roses in pencil and watercolor: from simple to the most complex. Therefore, rather arm yourself with colored pencils and a brush - let's start!
How to draw a rose with a pencil
1. Make a sketch of a rose with light pencil movements: draw an oval bud and a stem.
2. In the center of the oval, draw petals that look like a spiral.
3. Clearly draw each petal. Pay attention to all the curves and folds.
4. Make the necessary thickening, highlighting the main lines on the flower and stem.
5. Great! And now in the places of the shadows, hatch. This will make the rose more voluminous and realistic.
Our masterpiece is ready to try 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 interest of the Persians in growing roses was picked up by the Greeks. One of the Greek myths tells: “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 body of a handsome man. Thorns of 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 a beginner in drawing, but paper and pencil are your best friends, I offer a difficult version of drawing a rose with a pencil. Let's take the following image as an example:
1. Draw a long arc - the stem. Mark the upper and lower borders of the bud, as well as its center.
2. Now draw the middle of the bud. It consists of many twisted leaves.
Gradually add other petals to the rose. Pay attention to the severity and geometric shapes.
You will get such a rose:
3. Draw the stem and leaves for the rose.
4. It's time to add shadows and make our flower voluminous. Take a close look at the photo of the rose and start shading the dark areas of the image. A soft pencil is ideal for hatching.
5. Now, with light pencil movements, add penumbra. Note: petals that curl outward must have highlights and become darker towards the edges.
6. Detail the leaves and add shadows to them.
That's all! The flower queen is ready.
Interesting! In ancient Rome, a white rose was considered a symbol of silence. If during a solemn meal in the hall a white rose flaunted above the guests, everyone understood that the conversation at the table was not subject to disclosure. The popular expression “Sub rosa dictum” (“I said under the rose”) has survived to this day. This means that everything said is a big secret.
Roman soldiers wore wreaths of roses to get rid of the fear of battle. Rose wreaths in Rome were also awarded to prominent figures.
How to draw a rose with watercolors
Roses painted with watercolors look especially sophisticated and elegant. To create the following image, the artist used professional paints. You can take the most common ones.
1. Choose an image of a rose and make a subtle sketch. If it is difficult to do it yourself, on a sunny day, attach the drawing to the window and transfer it to paper.
2. Apply the initial coat of paints. Color each petal separately. Before you paint the next petal, let the previous one dry well, otherwise the paint will flow.
To mix colors harmoniously:
- wet the petal with water, and then apply the paint,
- apply one color, then add another.
3. In addition to pink and orange shades, add purple, blue and cherry. So you will be able to make the drawing saturated.
4. When the roses are completely dry, move on to the background. The role of the background will be played by colored spots. Paint must be applied to wet paper.
5. When the first coat of paint is completely dry, start working on the shadows of the flowers. Along with coral, pink and red colors, add yellow, purple, blue hues. The flower will become beautiful and expressive.
6. Make the background deeper by applying another layer of paint to the previous one. But make sure that the background does not stain the flowers and does not overshadow them. It is not very good if the environment is brighter than the subject being depicted.
7. Detail the image by adding veins and shadows to some of the petals.
Congratulations! The picture is ready.
Interesting! Today, 6,000 types of roses are known, bred by man. But it was the Japanese who surprised me the most. 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.

No wonder they say: if you want to win a girl's heart, give her roses. But do not be sad if there is not enough money for a luxurious bouquet. Rather, run for whatman paper and colored pencils - a bright picture will be an excellent birthday present and, unlike fresh flowers, will remind the birthday girl of a caring author for a long time to come.
1. Draw a bouquet, vase and bow.
2. With light pencil movements, sketch out buds in the form of ovals, finish the stems and bow. Make the bottom of the vase round.
3. Give the buds characteristic shapes for roses. Draw a second line along each stem to make them thicker. Detail the bow.
4. Draw the petals inside the buds. Don't forget the sepals.
5. And the last thing - draw the leaves. There should be a lot of them, because we have a whole bunch of roses. Draw vertical lines on the vase. In the right places, make hatching.
Color the picture with colored pencils and give it to someone you love very much.
