How to Draw a Red Rose

In this how to, I will be guiding you step by step in the process of drawing a beautiful red rose. Be sure to see the following steps provided by myself :). All images provided by I 365 Art.

There are 9 steps in total. Some tools you will need:

-pencil/pen
-paper
-a nice eraser

If you are doing this digitally, I would suggest using a decent pen tablet for this.

Step 1

Start off by drawing the rose petals. By the end of this tutorial, you should have about as many rose petals as in the preview picture :).

Step 2

Remember that the rose petals are not going to look exactly alike. Add some diversity to your petals.

Step 3

The different shapes of the rose petals are what make it such a beautiful flower.

Step 4

Notice that my rose is beginning to appear more layered as I go.

Step 5

This should be about the halfway mark at this point.

Step 6

The rose is becoming a lot more fleshed and is beginning to look, well, more like a rose! Almost there!

Step 7

This is the very last step for the actual rose. Now we move on to the leaves and stem!

Step 8

Draw some slender and slightly pointed leaves from underneath the rose bud.

Step 9

For the last step, draw in your stem. And that's that! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. If you have any questions, feel free to write them below. Also, feel free to visit my daily art blog I 365 Art to see what i've been brewing lately! ;D
