A rose is known as the “queen of flowers,” admired for its beauty, fragrance, and elegance. People gift roses to show love, care, and appreciation, making it one of the most meaningful flowers in the world. Artists have painted roses for centuries, and now it’s your turn to draw one that looks just as lovely.

If you’ve ever wondered how to draw a rose by step, you’ll love how easy this method is to follow. Here’s an easy 3 step tutorial that will help you create a simple and easy rose drawing.

Materials you will need:

• A piece of paper
• An HB pencil
• A dust-free eraser
• A black sketch pen for outlines
• Crayons or color pencils for coloring

Let’s get started!

Please note: In each step, the new parts of the drawing will be highlighted in orange, while everything you’ve already drawn will stay in black.

Step 1: Draw the base shape of the rose

Start by drawing a large “U” shape in the middle of your paper. This will form the bottom part of the rosebud. Keep both sides even so your rose looks neat and balanced. This shape is the foundation for your entire drawing.

Step 2: Add the spiral for the petals

Now, close the top of the “U” with a curved line starting from the right end of the U. Draw a small spiral that winds toward the center. This creates the illusion of layers of rose petals. It doesn’t need to be perfect — natural curves make the rose look even more realistic.

Step 3: Draw the stem and leaf

Next, draw a straight vertical line down from the bottom of the rosebud to form the stem. Then, on one side of the stem, draw a small curved line that forms a single leaf. This adds balance and makes your rose look complete.

Step 4: Outline and color your rose

Use a black sketch pen to trace over all your pencil lines. This gives your drawing clean, bold outlines. Once the ink dries, gently erase any pencil marks that are still visible. Finally, color the petals red and the stem and leaf green. You can use crayons, markers, or colored pencils — whichever you like best.

We’re all done

And that’s it — you’ve just learned how to draw a rose step by step! Isn’t it amazing how a few simple lines can create such a beautiful flower?

Some tips to remember beginners:

• Start with light pencil strokes so it’s easy to erase any mistakes.
• Keep your spiral loose and natural for a more realistic look.
• Every rose is unique — don’t worry if yours looks a bit different.

Keep practicing, and soon, you’ll be able to draw a rose easily without looking at the guide. Once you get comfortable, you can even try adding extra petals, thorns, or a second leaf to make your drawing unique.
