HOW TO DRAW A ROSE STEP BY STEP

Step 1

First draw the stems. Take a green marker and draw three stems going from the top of your paper to the bottom. Be sure that they are different lengths so that they are whimsical and not totally the same.

Step 2

Next draw some leaves with the same green marker. Draw two leaves on each stem near the top like the photo below. Then take a lighter colored green marker and draw some details onto the leaves.

Step 3

With a dark pink marker, draw three circles that are not totally perfect. Draw these about 1 inch above the top of each stem. This will be the top of the rose.

Step 4

With the same pink color draw on the base of the rose in a half sphere. Be sure that the rose touches the top of the stem.

Step 6

Take a black fineliner and go over the top of the rose drawing a circle. Start in the center of the rose and go around and around until you get to the edge of the rose. Do this with all three roses.
