• Add volume to the bud and extend it down a little. The degree of flower looseness will depend on how far you extend the lines of the bud.
• Now draw the side petals on both sides of the bud. Add petals according to how full you want your flower to be.

The most famous and sought after flower at all times is the rose. It is not surprising that there is often interest in how to draw a rose. After all, it is given as a gift for various holidays, depicted in illustrations on greeting cards etc. This can be easily explained, because despite the sharp thorns, the rose has an incredibly pleasant smell and exquisite appearance. Count a large number of types and forms of petals of this flower, but today in my step by step lesson, we will learn to draw a standard rose. Regardless of the fact that the drawing will be depicted in pencil, the view beautiful flower does not lose power.

Tools and materials:

1. White sheet of paper.
2. A simple pencil.
3. Eraser.

Stages of work:

Photo 1. First of all, we create the shape of the future flower, namely, we draw a circle:

Photo 2. Let's draw another shape in the middle of the circle. In its shape it will resemble a grain:

Photo 3. We begin to draw the middle of the rose. In the center, the petals fit very tightly to each other, so let’s outline their peeking tips:

Photo 4. Add a petal to the right. Its upper part will have a sharp end. Don't forget this considering all the petals. Please note that the growth of the petal begins from the central round shape:

Photo 5. On the left we will draw another petal, and also outline a shadow on it. It is located at the base:

Photo 6. Now let's draw the petal on top. It is located between the two petals and will resemble a slightly square shape:

Photo 8. The outermost petals will be the largest of the entire flower. We make the ends sharp and the shape a little square:

Photo 9. We complete the construction of the rose. It’s not scary if the ends of the petals slightly extend beyond the previously outlined circle. After all, this flower does not have strictly defined boundaries:

Photo 10. Use an eraser to remove all unnecessary lines:

Photo 11. We begin to apply shadow to the middle of the rose. We make strokes from the place of petal growth to the top:

Photo 13. From the middle we continue to cast a shadow on the nearby petals. The place where the petals grow will always be darker than the edges:

Photo 14. We will draw a shadow where the petals grow, and also add a little along the edge. This technique allows you to make the drawing more voluminous:

Photo 15. We continue to add shadow to the remaining petals, mainly on right side roses:

Photo 16. We finish working on the shadow on the flower. We make the left part of the petals darker than the rest, because the light falls in to a greater extent on right:

Rose is the recognized queen of flowers, loved by millions of people. Since ancient times, it has been a symbol of love, sung by poets, artists and great composers.

At first glance, drawing a beautiful rose is not at all difficult, although, of course, it depends on the level of your preparation. However, almost everyone faces difficulties when drawing, some at the stage of creating an outline with a pencil, others at the stage of drawing shadows with paints.

How to draw a rose step by step for beginning artists will be discussed below.

Drawing a rose - step-by-step instructions for children and their parents

Stage 1. Drawing contours. To begin, draw the outlines of the future flower with thin interrupted lines. Externally, these outlines resemble a polygon. On the sides, draw 2 or 3 broken triangles - they will later become rose petals. In the center of the polygon, draw a circle without bringing its ends together (see image 1.1).

Stage 2. Draw the petals. The creative part of creating a drawing. The petals inside the outline are drawn in a chaotic order and of any size. We also advise you to depict them with thin interrupted lines, so that in the future, if necessary, you can correct the sketch without leaving marks (see image 1.2).

Having finished with the petals inside the outline, add splendor to the sketch by drawing similar petals, but outside it.

Petals can be depicted with smooth curves, curls, or rounding - as you like. Don't be afraid to experiment by periodically comparing your sketch to the template.

After the petals, move on to decorating the leaves. Give the outlined triangular contours smooth shapes, not forgetting to draw the leaves inside (see image 1.3).

Stage 3. Creating shadows with a pencil. To look natural, the painted flower does not have enough shadows. Select small areas of the drawing, which must include the side petals, the core and leaves, and create shadows on them with light dashed lines (see sketch 1.4).

The picture is ready.

How to draw a bouquet of roses in a vase

Have you learned to draw a rose using the method described above? Then you won’t find it difficult to draw a bouquet of these flowers.

Usually bouquets are depicted in vases, so we will give just such an example. To create a sketch, let's take a bouquet of three roses as a basis (see image 2.1).

Let's start drawing from the bottom flower. To create a blossoming bud, use the steps described in the "How to Draw a Rose" section.

In the same way, draw the remaining two buds, one slightly higher and to the right, draw the other above them (see image 2.2).

After creating the blossoming buds, move on to depicting the stems and leaves. Fill the space between the flowers with them, giving the picture volume. Pay special attention to the leaves of the lower rose, as they will hang down the vase (see image 2.3).

Now let's start drawing the vase itself. To do this, visually determine the middle of the lower bud and draw a small straight line from this point down. Draw a straight line on the right in the same way, maintaining the proportions so that the vase looks natural. Two straight lines define the neck of the vase. After drawing two arcs, create its shape. The straight line connecting the arcs will serve as the bottom of the vase (see image 2.4).

The sketch is ready. The last step is to create shadows with light shading. Try to vary the pressure on the pencil to create a natural shadow. The leaves should be shaded with a darker shade, the petals with a lighter shade. Don't forget to shade the vase to give the image volume (see image 2.5).

The picture is ready.

How to paint a rose with watercolors

The first step to painting a flower in watercolor is creating a sketch. You can either draw it yourself or purchase a ready-made one.

Determine a palette of colors for yourself, and for painting the petals, choose two or three shades that are in harmony with each other. As you paint, apply one color first, then another. This is done to ensure a smooth transition and create a realistic picture.

Before starting work, lightly moisten the drawing with water and then begin to apply the first layer of paint to the petals, carefully painting them over. Before starting a new petal, wait until the previous one is completely dry, so as not to accidentally spoil the design (see image 3.1).

The most popular shades of flowers are pink, orange, purple, blue and cherry, mixed with each other.

When the first layer is dry, start creating shadows. To do this, identify the darkened areas (most often these are the bends of the petals and the core) and carefully add more dark colors. Then select two or three petals for yourself and add saturation to them. Finally, don’t forget about the leaves and stem, which should also stand out in color (see image 3.2).

If desired, add a background while painting the details using a similar color palette. In this case, paints should also be applied to paper damp from water (see image 3.3.).

The picture is ready.

Having learned to draw roses on paper, many continue to improve and are eventually able to depict them even on their nails, which, of course, requires exceptional skill. If the described methods seem complicated, first try to draw the flower you like cell by cell with a pencil, pen or felt-tip pens. To do this, you will need a notebook and a drawing example, which you can either create yourself or purchase in a store.

Before us is a drawing of a bouquet of roses regular pencils. As you can see, it is designed for basic skills, such as shading and the ability to draw smooth lines of different thicknesses, but if it is still difficult for you to hatch as in the figure, you can stop at one of the stages, the upcoming one, which you think will be beyond your capabilities.

So, we will need:

• Pencils, preferably of high softness to obtain smoother shadows, we use softness 6B, 7B, 8B. Pencils always have letters indicating softness or hardness; hardness is indicated by the letters H or T; the higher the number, the harder they are.
• To begin with, it is better not to use such things; it will be difficult for you to manage them, because... they may scratch the paper. Use better pencils, starting from HB (this is medium softness) and higher (2B, 3B...8B, sometimes designated by the letters M, respectively, the higher the indicator, the softer the pencil, which means the lines will be darker and smoother).
• An eraser (we took the most common one, with the image of an elephant; they are also used by professionals and are available in any store).

  1. Layout.

  We mark the main lines, we need to outline large rose petals and several leaves. At this stage, do not press hard on the pencil, otherwise it will be very difficult to erase them later.

  

  2. Outlines.

  We draw the outline of the petals, the centers of the roses in general outline, as well as the location of buds and stems

  

  3. Outlining the main lines.

  Now we draw the main contours with thick lines. We outline all the petals, some leaves, stems, buds.

  

  4. Basic shadows.

  Now we add shadows. At this stage we shade the most basic dark areas: under the petals, the space between the roses. If you don't want to draw the background, you can only shade the roses and leaves, also in the main places.

  

  5. Background.

  You shade the background around the roses; you don’t have to do this if you don’t like it. The most common option is a cross-hatch for the background, somewhat reminiscent of a grid. We also need to shade, practically paint over the space between the roses with black and try to smoothly transfer it into the main background. For such a dark color, pencils of maximum softness are used. We also darken the shadows on the roses a little more.

  

  6. Final.

  All that remains is to draw small parts, shade to the end of the shadow, set the final look of the drawing.
  Our bouquet of roses is ready, as you can see, everything is simple. This version of the drawing is suitable for both those who are already familiar with shading and those who are just mastering it, because there are no specific requirements for your skills, and even if the drawing turns out to be not very neat or with an incorrect stroke, this will not affect the its beauty. Good luck!

Interesting! Persia (Iran) is considered the birthplace of the rose. In the Persian language, the name of the flower sounds “gul”, and the country itself has long had a second name - Gulistan.

The Persians' interest in growing roses was picked up by the Greeks. One of the Greek myths says: “When the goddess of beauty and love Aphrodite learned about the death of her beloved Adonis while hunting, she went to the mountains of Cyprus to look for the handsome man’s body. Thorn thorns and sharp stones wounded her fragile legs, and drops of blood falling to the ground turned into red roses.”

If you are not new to drawing, and paper and pencil are your best friends, I suggest a complex version of drawing a rose with a pencil. Let's take the following image as an example:

1. Draw a long arc - a stem. Mark the upper and lower boundaries of the bud, as well as its center.

2. Now draw the middle of the bud. It consists of many curled leaves.

Gradually add other petals to the rose. Pay attention to the rigor and geometricity of the forms.

You will get a rose like this:

3. Draw the stem and leaves of the rose.

4. It's time to add shadows and make our flower voluminous. Look carefully at the photo of the rose and start shading the dark areas of the image. A soft pencil is ideal for shading.

5. Now add penumbra with light pencil movements. Note: petals that curl outward must have highlights and become darker closer to the edges.

6. Detail the leaves and add shadows to them.

That's all! The Queen of Flowers is ready.

Interesting! IN Ancient Rome The white rose was considered a symbol of silence. If during a ceremonial meal in the hall a flaunted White Rose, everyone understood: the conversation at the table is not subject to disclosure. Still preserved popular expression“Sub rosa dictum” (“I said under the rose”). This means that everything said is a big secret.

Roman soldiers wore rose wreaths to ward off fear before battle. Pink wreaths were also awarded to prominent figures in Rome.

How to paint a rose with watercolors

Roses painted in watercolors look especially sophisticated and elegant. To create the following image, the artist used professional paints. You can take the most common ones.

1. Select an image of a rose and make a subtle sketch. If it is difficult to do this yourself, on a sunny day, attach the drawing to the window and transfer it onto paper.

2. Apply an initial layer of paint. Color each petal separately. Before you paint the next petal, let the previous one dry well, otherwise the colors will run.

To ensure the colors mix harmoniously:

• wet the petal with water and then apply paint,
• apply one color, then add another.

3. In addition to pink and orange shades, add purple, blue and cherry shades. This way you will be able to make the drawing rich.

4. When the roses are completely dry, move on to the background. The role of the background will be played by colored spots. Paints must be applied to wet paper.

5. When the first layer of paint is completely dry, start working on the shadows of the flowers. Along with coral, pink and red flowers, add yellow, purple, and blue shades. The flower will become beautiful and expressive.

6. Make the background deeper by applying another layer of paint on top of the previous one. But make sure that the background does not stain the flowers or overshadow them. It is not very good if the surroundings are brighter than the object being depicted.

7. Detail the image by adding veins and shadows to some of the petals.

Congratulations! The picture is ready.

Interesting! Today there are 6,000 known species of roses bred by humans. But the Japanese were the most impressive. They managed to grow a chameleon rose. This amazing flower changes color depending on the light. During the day the rose is scarlet, in the evening it is white.
