Easiest Rose Drawing for Kids of All Ages
Roses are one of the most beautiful flowers out there and they come in a variety of different colors. One of the most popular and indeed well know varieties is the red rose, which is frequently given to the one you love on Valentine’s Day!!
Don’t just save them for this month though as you can send them or indeed sketch them at anytime of the year!!!
I have to confess though I am always astounded by the price florists try to charge for a dozen red roses!! The next best thing is a hand drawn rose, which can be added to a piece of pale pink card stock and sent to someone who love.
My realistic rose drawing for kids and adults is perfect. The step by step instructions alongside the images are very easy to follow.
Why not do this alongside my easy rose paper craft?!

How to Draw a Realistic Rose Flower for Kids Step by Step
Steps 1-2: It all starts with a heart, how appropriate for February 14th!
First, draw a curvy heart shape to start drawing your rose.
Steps 3-4:
Draw a curvy line from the bottom point of the heart.
Then, draw another curved line from the left side of the heart to the middle of the last curved line. Keep a slightly small gap between the two lines.
Steps 5-6:
Draw a wavey line from the left side of the heart to the bottom of the middle curvy line. Make the wave broader on the bottom side.
Similarly, draw another wavey line from the right side of the heart.
Steps 7-8:
Draw an oval shape inside the heart
Then, draw swirls inside the oval shape. You can see your rose drawing is starting to take shape. We still have to learn how to draw rose stem and petals below, as well as add finer details to the rose.
Steps 9-10:
Draw a small petal on the right side of the oval shape.
Then, draw another wavey petal shape on the left side of the oval shape.
Steps 11-12:
Draw another layer of two curved lines from the two ends of the previous petals.
To draw the sepals, draw three squiggly triangles on the bottom of the rose.
Steps 13-14:
To draw the rose stem, draw two vertical parallel lines from the middle bottom part of the rose.
Extend the line from the left side slightly further to the bottom.
Draw another vertical line on the left side, and keep a slight gap from the top line. Tip: don’t draw straight lines, make them a little squiggly to make the rose look realistic.
Steps 15-16:
Draw two squiggly lines on the left joining the gap.
Draw a “Y” shape on the tip of the extended line.
Step 17-18:
Then, draw a basic leaf shape.
Draw another basic leaf shape.
Steps 19-20: Realistic Rose Outline
Draw the veins inside the leaves.
Use a thin gel pen to draw over the pencil lines. Then erase the pencil lines using an eraser.
Steps 21-22:
Take a red sharpie and carefully color the corners inside the rose outline.
Then, fill in the rose outline using the same red sharpie.
Steps 23-24:
Similarly, use a green sharpie or marker pen to color along the outline of the stem and leaf carefully.
Fill in the leaves and stem using the green sharpie.
Step 25:
You can leave it as it is, but for extra details, you can color the corners using a slightly darker green sharpie.
That’s the end of my how to draw a rose with pencil tutorial. I hope you are pleased with how yours turned out!
