The Easiest Rose in 16 Steps
This quick method is perfect for kids and total beginners. Draw lightly so you can erase any mistakes.
Step 1: Draw an oval, and inside it draw a spiral (swirl). This is the center of your rose.
Step 2: Add a curvy line below and to the left of the spiral to start wrapping the center.
Step 3: Draw a big heart-shaped curve around the spiral to form the first petal.
Step 4: Add another curvy petal on the right side that wraps the center more.
Step 5: Draw another petal curve on the lower left side.
Step 6: Add a new petal on the upper left. The layers are starting to build up.
Step 7: Add another petal on the right side to make the flower fuller.
Step 8: Add one more outer petal curve on the lower right.
Step 9: Below the flower, draw the small pointed leaves (the base of the bud).
Step 10: Draw the stem as a line going down from the base of the bud.
Step 11: Draw the outline of a leaf on the left side of the stem.
Step 12: Draw the outline of a second leaf on the right side of the stem.
Step 13: Inside the left leaf, draw a center line and small veins.
Step 14: Inside the right leaf, add a center line and veins too.
Step 15: Erase any extra lines and darken your outline with a marker. Your drawing is ready.
Step 16: Color it in last. Make the flower red and the stem and leaves green. Your rose is complete!
