Drawing Nature: How to Draw a Rose by Monika Zagrobelna
.
Roses are very popular flowers, commonly seen as a symbol of love. They're very difficult to draw, though—they're made of many layers of petals. You need to add them carefully one by one, and then shade the whole construction. In this quick tutorial I will show you how to do it if you want to build your own rose from scratch, without relying on a reference. But if you want, feel free to check any of these Envato Market references to help yourself:
  • Rose in top view
  • Half-blown rose
  • Rosebud

What You Will Need

  • Hard pencil (HB)
  • Medium soft pencil (2B or slightly lower)
  • Soft pencil (5B or lower)
  • Sheet of paper
  • Pencil sharpener

Step 1

Start by drawing a teardrop/egg shape with a hard pencil. Use very light lines. This will be the inner bud of the rose.

Step 14

Go back to a hard pencil and use it to add a subtle texture to the illuminated parts. The darker your rose, the darker you can go here.
