How to Draw Roses for Kids
Flowers, particularly roses are one of those things that most people want to learn to draw perfectly. With the right technique, you can learn to draw roses.
- Make sure that the swirl pattern is oval in shape and is clearly defined.
- Draw a backward S shape from the farthest point of the swirls pattern in the right.
- You will notice that the outline of the rose is emerging. Next draw a curved line on the left from the center point of the lower most petal. Join the curved line with another smaller curved line so that it looks like a petal.
- Draw another curved line from the lower center point of the rose towards the right hand side to meet the backward S shape that you had drawn earlier.
- Draw a long stem, starting from the lower mid point of the rose. Make sure that the stem is a little curved to give it a more realistic look.
- Draw two leaves on each side of the petal making sure that the leaves are smaller than the rose you have just drawn.
- Finally, shade one side of the rose with short pencil strokes and also sketch the veins of the leaves. Your rose is done!
- Draw a circle on a piece of paper and then draw a slightly curved line starting from the base of the circle.
- Now draw a smaller circle one inch above the first circle.
- Join the two circles together with curved lines. While drawing the curved lines to join the circles make sure that you hold the pencil in a light but firm grip. This will give the curved lines a natural look which is what we are aiming for.
- Next sketch a spiral inside the smaller circle.
- Draw two curved lines from either side of the rose and join the curved lines to the body of the rose to make the petals.
- Draw two U shapes on the curved line that you had drawn earlier from the base of the bigger circle.
- Join the top portion of the U shapes that you have just sketched. This will make the leaf of the plant.
- Sketch the veins of the leaves and define the petals with short pencil strokes.
