Flowers are one of the prettiest things in the world. Let it be in any size, color, or shape. And who doesn’t love flowers? As a kid, even I loved drawing a flower, they were the simple ones looking somewhat like a daisy. And I guess even today kids love to draw flowers.
Roses are my favorite. They are one of the most gorgeous flowers and are referred to as the symbol of love. Drawing a single rose or dozen of roses is quite easy.

Guidelines to follow:
- Use a light but sharp pencil.

Step-by-Step Guide on How to Draw a Rose
Step 1:
Let us start by making the main body of the rose. Draw a big U shape and extend the ends to give a nice curve to it.
Step 2:
Join the two ends of the U with an oval. Make one half of the oval into a pointy end.
Step 3:
Now draw a curve following the lower border of the oval joining the ends of the U. Join the curve to the oval a little before where the U and oval meets.
Step 4:
Now, draw a spiral inside the oval. Draw the spiral in the shape of an oval and not a circle. It will make your inner part of the rose look better.
Step 5:
Draw a petal on the right side of the rose body. For this make a slanted U and join the tips to make a pointy end.
Step 6:
Then draw another small petal on the left side of the rose body. Start from the bottom end of the rose body and make a half side of the U in slanted position and then join the top part of this petal to U shaped body. You will see that your rose is ready.
Step 7:
Once the rose is complete, let us move on to draw the leaves. Instead of making plain leaves draw zig-zag leaves.
Step 8:
Now that the leaves are complete, draw the stem of the rose. Draw two vertical lines from the center of the two leaves with a very little gap in between to make a thin stem.
Step 9:
Erase the part of the U that intersects with the petal we made in step 5. Draw a small vertical curvy line in the middle of the main body of the rose.
See, there you have a beautiful rose drawing. Did you find it easy?
Now it’s time to color the rose with the colors of your choice. You can use red, yellow, pink to color the rose. For beginners start with simple plain colors, you can then add some other color for shading if you wish.
