- 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 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 the presence of 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.
How to draw a rose
- 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.

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. 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 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 rose step by step with a pencil in the cells?
- Both children and adults like to draw in squares.
- If it is necessary to make preliminary markings on a landscape sheet so that the picture fits within the conventional boundaries, then when drawing in 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 of necessary materials, this method of drawing 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: having a checkered notebook. You can transfer ready-made simple drawing schemes onto paper, 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.
Rosebud by cells
- 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.

- Once simple pictures begin to come out without much effort, you can begin to draw complex patterns that involve several colors.
Drawing a rose by petals
This technique is equally suitable for drawing on paper or on a tablet. Here you don’t mark out the size of the bud initially, but complete it right in the process.
You will need:
Paper and pencil or tablet.
How to draw:
Start with the very first curl, from which the middle will go up in a spiral. Gradually begin to surround it with larger petals until the bud is harmonious. And don't forget about the leaves and green base of the rose.
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: 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: the bouquet can be drawn without additional elements, but most often the 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 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.

You will need:
Thick paper, markers, pencils.
How to draw:
Draw the basic outlines of the petals of the future rose with a simple pencil. Color the petals with markers, slowly moving in a spiral and layering the shade. And use pencils at the very end for detail and light and shade.
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.
We begin to draw the centers of the buds
We give the roses a more realistic look by drawing two petals under each bud.
Adding petals
Adding leaves
Let's add leaves: their edges can be made with small “teeth”. Let's draw the veins on the leaves.

How to draw a bud - a lesson for beginners
The image of the bud is also not difficult. It is worth remembering that all lines are smooth and slightly curved, which follows the natural contours of the flower.
Step by step drawing:
- For the base of the flower, we draw a small semicircle, and place a bud in it, which also looks like a semicircle, only elongated.
- We add leaves in the form of small wavy lines along the edges and one in the middle.
- Now we draw the top, retreating from the edge of the bud, we draw the petals that overlap each other, and we draw the same in the center.
