How to draw a rose with a pencil?

Rose in stages - option 1

At first glance, it seems that the drawing is complex, but look carefully, the rose consists of simple shapes and lines. Draw, following the step-by-step overview, and you will get such a wonderful flower.

Draw a spiral at the top of the sheet. Be sure to draw without pressing the pencil so that you can later erase lines that have become unnecessary.

Add a semi-oval to the bottom of the spiral.

On the spiral itself, draw 4 parallel lines. This will be the inner rosebud.

Draw petals along the edges of the cup-shaped spiral - the core. Draw with a pencil, without pressing, one petal at a time, trying to place at least 5-6 pieces.

Draw wavy lines in the center of each petal.

This is how the rose flower turned out.

Let's move on to the stem and leaves. Draw an elongated semi-oval at the bottom of the flower. Draw a slightly curved line down from it, add thin needles.

Draw two leaves on the sides of the stem.

They have veins on them.

The rose leaves are slightly jagged along the edges; draw zigzag-like lines on top along the outer contour of the leaves.

Erase the previous lines with an eraser. Older children can immediately draw jagged leaves.

The rose drawing is ready.

All that remains is to color it with pencils or felt-tip pens, or, if desired, with paints.

How to draw a rose step by step – option 2

Another interesting way to draw a rose. The method is not complicated if you stick to the diagram, but it is also important to maintain proportions and sizes, since if the circular leaves vary too much in size, the flower will stretch to the sides.

Draw a circle using a compass.

In the middle, but not in the center, draw an arcuate line.

From the arc, draw two more arcs: one to the opposite side of the circle, and the second a little short of it. Add 3 lines to the center of the arcs to form the core of the flower.

Draw petals on four sides of the circle.

Add 4 more small petals between them. The flower is complete.

Draw a stem for it.

Draw the leaves.

Color carefully. The rose drawing is ready.

How to draw a rose for beginners – option 3

Here the rose is still unopened, rather its bud. Drawing is a little more difficult than previous options, since there is no specific diagram. You just need to watch the actions and try to repeat them as shown in the photo.

Draw a cup-shaped line.

Add two lines to the right.

Raise the bud higher with a few more lines.

Determine the height and shape of the bud by drawing a line on top as shown in the photo.

Draw two arcs down from the previous drawing and a small one to the right.

Add the core to the bud.

On the left, draw a branching petal.

The drawing of the unopened rose is complete.

Draw a stem with leaves for it. It can be of any shape: straight, curved, branching with several branches or one, with several leaves, one or without them at all.

If desired, color the flower.

I hope this step-by-step photo review answers the question “how to draw a rose.”

In this lesson we will look at how to draw a bouquet of three roses in a vase with a pencil step by step. Let's take this image as an example.

You can first draw from a vase. If it's more convenient for you, then start with it. I'll start with the bottom one, start drawing it from the middle and gradually build up the petals.

We draw the second one a little higher and to the right, and also start from the middle.

Draw the third rose bud on top.

Draw branches with leaves between them.

Draw more leaves and lower a small straight line down about halfway down the bottom rose, then lower the same straight line within the leaves. This will be the top of the vase. At the bottom, mark the height of the vase with a dash and draw its outline.

We shade the leaves in a very dark tone, using a softer pencil. We also apply light shading to the rose petals.

For a more beautiful effect, you can make the background in the form of diagonal lines. The drawing of a bouquet of roses or roses in a vase is ready.

Roses are very popular flowers, usually perceived as a symbol of love. However, they are very difficult to draw, as they consist of numerous layers of petals. You will have to carefully add them one by one, and then reveal the chiaroscuro of the entire structure. In this short tutorial I'll show you how to create your own rose from scratch without copying it from anywhere.

What you will need:

• Hard pencil (HB)
• Medium soft pencil (2B or slightly softer)
• Soft pencil (5B or softer)
• Sheet of paper
• Sharpener

Step 1

Start by drawing a drop or egg using a hard pencil. Try to press as little as possible. This will be the core of the rose.

Step 2

Draw the “open space” of the bud.

Step 3

Draw small petals inside this place.

Step 4

Circle these petals into a heart - it will become the outline of the other petals.

Step 5

Connect the heart to the rest of the bud - this will create the shape of new petals.

Step 6

Now another heart...

Attached to a bud.

Step 7

Again we draw the shape of the heart, but this time we make it less regular and more developed.

The lines connecting the heart to the bud, provided they are drawn correctly, will create the effect of depth.

Step 8

Now we need another petal. It has a more complex perspective, so be careful:

Step 9

We need to place the bud in the “bowl” of petals. First, let's make it from small petals...

Then we will add larger ones.

Step 10

New petals should be more and more curved.

Step 11

When you are finished, highlight more clearly those lines that will highlight the shape of the flower.

Step 12

Choose a softer pencil and shade the inner parts of the rose. First, lightly shade...

Then press harder to achieve a more substantial shadow.

Step 13

Use the same pencil to lightly highlight the edges of some of the petals. Just don't shade them completely!

Step 14

Again, use a hard pencil to add subtle texture to the highlighted parts. The darker you plan for your rose, the more you can now darken it.

Step 15

Take the softest pencil and add the deepest shadows.

You drew a gorgeous rose! If you want to post this drawing on the Internet, you need to scan or photograph it well.

I have prepared for you interesting master classes on 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. Using light pencil movements, draw 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 the 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 there was a white rose above the guests, everyone understood that the conversation at the table was not subject to disclosure. The catchphrase “Sub rosa dictum” (“I said under the rose”) has been preserved to this day. 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 you paint 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, and 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 known 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.

How to quickly draw a bouquet of roses

It’s not for nothing that they say: if you want to win a girl’s heart, give her roses. But don’t be sad if you don’t have 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 the caring author for a long time.

1. Make a drawing of a bouquet, vase and bow.

2. Using light pencil movements, sketch out the buds in the shape of ovals, complete 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 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 vertical lines on the vase. Make shading in the right places.

Color the picture with colored pencils and give it to someone you love very much.

Rose is an amazingly beautiful flower with an interesting bud shape, graceful petals, and a rich palette of colors. It is not for nothing that the queen of flowers is present on many greeting cards, and artists love to depict her. Schoolchildren also like to draw roses to please their mother, grandmother, favorite teacher, or simply 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 fruitful creative activity of a schoolchild, adults, first of all, must equip him with a workplace - provide him with 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 A4 paper;
• colored loose cardboard (for painting with gouache);
• 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 using graphic techniques, colored pencils, paints

Another task for an adult is to prepare technological maps with step-by-step drawing diagrams in advance, so that the child always has them at hand (these may well be photographs from thematic sites).

How to draw a rose with a pencil step by step

A rose is not only a very beautiful flower, but also a rather complex object to draw (a bud consists of many petals nested one inside the other). But if the child draws it with a pencil step by step, then he will succeed.

There is no need to 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 can consist of only a bud (or several), without a stem, surrounded by petals.

1. First you should mark the center of the bud.

   The first stage is the designation of the central part of the bud

2. After this, we arrange 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 extend from the center in different directions

3. Gradually the rose becomes more and more lush.

   The queen of flowers is becoming more and more magnificent

4. And finally, the charming bud is ready.

   A lush bud has already been drawn

5. The next stage of drawing is the image of leaves. They should also be of different sizes and different in shape: some are intricately curved, others are straighter.

   Leaves of different sizes and shapes are depicted around the bud.

6. And the final touch - you need to mark the veins on the leaves to make them 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 rose bud resembles a spiral

Unopened rose buds also look charming. The base in this case will be a small semicircle - it is from this that the stem extends, and 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 splendor of the flower depends on their number.

Drawing a half-closed bud begins with a semicircle, inside of which the petals are depicted

Rose with stem

The next version of a rose is a flower with a stem and leaves. Let the bud be almost closed again.

1. Let's start from the base of the bud and stem - this is not very difficult.

   First we draw the stem and frame of the bud

2. Next, we finish drawing the flower bud and its stem, and designate the leaves.

   We outline the leaves and bud

3. Then we make the leaves carved and the bud more magnificent. The flower is ready, all that remains is to color it.

   All that remains is to color the image in a suitable color

Drawing a rose in a vase

Roses in vases or pots look great in pictures. When starting the creative process, the young artist must decide where he will start working: with a flower or a vase.

1. The bud is depicted according to the already familiar scheme: loose or unopened.

   First, we designate the buds at some distance from each other

2. Then neat, pointed leaves are added.

   Adding beautiful small leaves

3. 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 is drawing a vase

Coloring a sketch with colored pencils

After the child learns to draw roses realistically with a simple pencil, you can begin coloring the silhouette with colored pencils or crayons. The following important points are taken into account.

As for the colors used, children most often depict roses as 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 in their drawings, younger schoolchildren often simply fill the outlined outline with the desired color.

In the drawings of a primary school student there are usually no shadow transitions

The small shadow on the petals looks much more interesting in the picture.

At an older age, children can already identify a shadow

Another effective artistic solution is to have the petals edged in a different color (for example, purple or brown if the petal itself is pink or red).

The edging of the flower can be made in a different color - it always looks beautiful

Photo gallery: step-by-step drawing of a rose with a pencil

The basis for drawing a bud is a large circle. Drawing begins with a spiral. Petals are formed around the oval. The bud is drawn on the basis of an oval. You can start the drawing with both a flower and a pot. The shape of the bud resembles a heart.

Specifics of gouache painting for beginners

Children love to paint flowers with gouache. After all, the compositions always turn out bright and expressive. This technique is ideal for beginning artists: errors and inaccuracies can be masked without damaging the painting.

Since gouache is opaque and contains white, you need to paint 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 gouache drawing, the background is of particular importance. It can be of two types.

1. Uniform painting beyond the pencil sketch: the rose itself and the background are indicated by certain colors.
2. Filling. First, the background of the picture is drawn up, and when it dries, the flower itself is drawn (as an option, you can initially use colored cardboard rather than white paper).

Let's look at specific examples of painting roses with gouache.

Bouquet of roses

1. Making a pencil sketch of a flower arrangement.

   Future roses are indicated by circles

2. We fill the background with shades of green and draw the leaves.

   The entire surface of the paper, with the exception of roses, is painted over with green shades

3. The next stage is the design of the buds. Each of them is first painted over with white gouache. Until it dries, the petals are indicated with red strokes.

   Rose buds are painted over with white gouache and complemented with red strokes

4. The final part of the work is to highlight individual petals, leaves, and blades of grass using a thin brush with white gouache. The composition is ready.

   Thin decorative details are applied with white gouache

Rose on a green background

Gouache is good because it allows you to paint on a dark background. So, for a rose you can choose a dark green base.

1. Using a thin brush, draw a red rosebud.

   Draw a red bud on a green background with a brush

2. We blur the resulting image with water.

   Blurring with water will create shimmering shades

3. Using light green gouache we depict a thin stem and graceful leaves. The spines and veins on the leaves are indicated with a darker shade of green.

   Draw the stem and leaves in different shades of green

4. Next, we make the bud more voluminous: we mark the boundaries of the petals with a light pink color.

   We decorate the petals in the bud with pale pink color

5. The final stage of the drawing is working on the background. Let's create beautiful tints using green strokes of dark and light shades.

   Strokes of light and dark green will make the background more expressive

Features of painting with watercolors

Painting with watercolors is a more responsible job, since flaws will already be obvious. But this technique allows you to create delicate and exquisite flower arrangements. After some practice, the student will be able to draw quite realistic roses, which seem to emanate freshness.

First, again, a pencil sketch is made. The pattern should be slightly noticeable (no need to put pressure on the tool). Then comes work with watercolors. Be sure to wash the paint with water: it should be almost transparent, without a clearly defined color. When coloring a bud, it is better to use several shades to make the rose look natural.

It is better to secure the paper with tape or tacks: when it gets wet and then dries, unsightly waves may form.

Let's look at a specific example.

1. The first stage is a pencil sketch of a rose.

   The lines of the pencil sketch should be thin and dim

2. We dilute the raspberry paint heavily with water and apply it to the surface of the bud using a thick brush. We denote the lower part of it with light green watercolor (also very diluted).

   The bud is painted with highly diluted crimson paint.

3. When the initial layer dries, the edges of the petals are shaded with warm-colored paints. 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 with a dark tone, and the dark ones, respectively, with a light tone. Color heterogeneity is welcome: the image will be more natural. To mark the veins on the petals you will need a thin brush. She works on the base and middle of the bud. It is important not to overdo it with dark shades: otherwise the pattern may become “cartoonish”.
