Roses are often a symbol of romance and love. This flower is indeed beautiful and makes anyone stunned to look at it. However, if you don't have a talent for gardening, you can still make roses out of paper.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Roses in Perfect Blossom
Step 1. Draw any circle in the center of the drawing area as the center of the rose
Step 2. Add an irregular oval at the base of the diagonal of the circle
The oval will be the first petal.
Step 3. Draw a curved line from the small circle to the oval to make the second petal
Step 4. Finish the series of petals surrounding the immediate center by joining the other curved lines to the top
Step 5. Start drawing the first spiral around the previous spiral to create a second row of petals
Step 6. Surround the previous row of petals with an irregular curved line
Now you have the third row of petals.
Step 7. Join the outer petals with wavy lines and glue them at several points
Step 8. Draw the outermost rose petals
Step 9. Add the details of the rose complete with the petals and leaves
Step 10. Apply red for the roses and green for the leaves
Also add shading in the right place.
Method 2 of 3: Rose Motif
Step 1. Draw a small spiral right in the center of the paper
Step 2. Draw a petal on one side of the spiral
Step 3. Add the petals on the other side of the spiral
Step 4. Draw a third petal at the base of the spiral, sticking with the previous petals
Step 5. Add a small detail in the center of the rose spiral
Step 6. Add leaves on both sides of the flower, complete with small leaf bones
Step 7. Color the roses with a selection of red and green colors for the leaves
Method 3 of 3: Roses and their Stems
Step 1. Draw a vertical curved line in the middle of the paper as a reference for the rose stem image
Step 2. Add a line with thorn detail to the left of the curved line
Step 3. Also add similar details to the right of it
Step 4. Draw a leaf to the left of the thorny curve
Place the leaves slightly up.
Step 5. Add some more leaves on different sides
Step 6. Add the leaf details by drawing the leaf bones and some leaf veins
Step 7. Start drawing the flower from the base, which is the petal
Step 8. Continue by drawing the petals from the center and adding one petal to the right of it
Step 9. Add the other petals piled up
Step 10. Draw the details of the center of the rose petals
Step 11. Add details to the leaves by drawing serrations on the edges of the strands
Step 12. Erase any guide lines that are no longer needed
Color the rose and its leaves.
Step 13. Enhance your image by inserting dark areas and shadows to taste
Tips
- With only a pencil or pen, you can still create contrasts by playing different pressures or using different types of pens or pencils.
- Draw thinly first until you're pretty sure. It's okay to wipe all over at once, but you'll find it easier (and more relaxed!) if you do it slowly.
- Blending the lines inward is a shading technique to add depth and realism to your roses.
- Try mixing different colors to get your rose closer to its original color.
- Gently rub in the shaded areas and some bold lines to create a classic look.
- Squeeze the paper and tear off the edges to add an antique look to the roses.
- To make your roses look classic, color them red and give them a touch of light brown.
- Use a blunt pencil to add a natural feel to your drawing.
- Use a pencil to lightly shade areas of the drawing so you can highlight the shape.
- Before you draw a pencil, make sure you know the shape of the rose you want to draw.
- Try squeezing the image area to make the roses look more real.
