How to draw a Rose

Learn how to draw this cute Valentine Rose of your very own.

You will need:
- Pencil
- Pen
- Eraser
- Paper
- Colored pencils or crayons
- Ruler (suggested)


Jeff's Tips & Ideas : Use lightly sketched pencil lines first for the structure. After, use a pen to draw in the final lines. When you're finished, erase the underlying pencil lines to reveal your drawing. Then - color it!

Let's start! Follow step by step our easy indications below !

STEP 1

Here's a simple framework to get started.

STEP 2

And a face!

STEP 3

And next - with red lines (something different for a change!)... go ahead and bring the flower part into view.

STEP 4

Keep going...

STEP 5

Notice how the spiral is brought into view with small connecting lines.  Makes a neat 3D effect!

STEP 6

Now, using green this time - begin to work on a leaf, as well as the part directly under the flower.  A few spikes work well...

STEP 7

Draw in the stem and the other leaf.

And alas!... Some color.
