Are you interested in drawing roses? Look no further! I've come up with an easy tutorial that anyone can follow. With a little practice, you'll soon be filling your house with stunning sketches of roses. Trust me, I've been there!

Quick and Easy Rose Drawing

I've created a simple poster to get you started right away. If you want more detailed instructions, just scroll below. Each step is color-coded: pink/red for the first line, purple for the next, and blue for the last. The light green represents what was erased at the end of each step. Drawing roses is all about using your imagination to create petals and assembling them to form a beautiful flower, whether you're drawing a sideways view or a top-down perspective.

For the roses I drew below, I used the Macro Refine Colored Pencils, a great alternative to Prismacolors if you're looking for something more affordable. To achieve this drawing, I used the Strathmore Bristol Paper, which measures 11 by 14 inches.

Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions

I've drawn three roses for you: one facing the viewer, another at a slight angle, and the last one facing halfway away.

  1. Begin by drawing a small oval shape, which will serve as the center of the rose. Add a few lines inside and outside the center.
  2. Start adding petals that radiate from the center. These are slightly curved lines that go around in a circle.
  3. Keep adding more and more petals, occasionally making some of them slightly pointy toward the center.
  4. For the rose facing the viewer, continue working in a circular motion, adding 3 to 5 petals for each layer.
  5. Aim for a balanced look. In the photo on the right, I've marked which petals were drawn first with dots.
  6. Add a few more petals all around the circle. Congratulations! You've completed the first flower.
  7. Don't forget to add a stem and a few leaves.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Now, let's move on to the second flower!

  1. Start with a tube shape with a slight opening.
  2. Gradually change the opening by adding curved lines to indicate petals.
  3. Draw a petal that wraps around the rose's center, starting from the outer line and bringing it around to the front. Then, add two lines extending from each end of the petal, and draw a slightly curved line to indicate a slight bend at the edge.
  4. To create a slight opening, draw two curved lines from the back of the rose, forming a heart-like shape in the front. Add more indications of bent and curved petals.
  5. Keep adding petals that look more open, making sure they are attached to the base of the rose.
  6. Finally, add a few more petals, including one that bends outward and covers part of the base.
  7. Draw a stem and more leaves for the second rose.

Second Rose

For the third rose, follow these steps:

  1. Start with a heart-shaped petal, as shown in the photo above.
  2. Add a few more petals, all attached to the base.
  3. Add even more petals, showing from behind the first part of the rose.
  4. Like the second flower, add a petal facing outward. Don't forget the stem and leaves.

Third Rose

To give your drawing a more vibrant look, you can add a background. In my case, I wanted it to look like an open sky, so I used a light blue color to draw a few clouds. I also used the same light blue to add shading to the roses and leaves. I filled the sky and background with various shades of blue. White coloring pencils were used extensively on the flowers and clouds. To add dimension, I used black to darken the bottom of the page where the background extends. Dark pine green was used to enhance the leaves and add extra details. Lastly, I used light green to add more color to the leaves and stems, as well as to provide shading for the white roses. To create shadows on the roses, I used pink, tan, and yellow. I also used silver to shade the clouds and added more blues to the sky and roses.

Here are the colors I used:
