If you want to learn how to draw a flower, a rose will be a great subject, even if it may seem a little intimidating at first. In this video tutorial, I’ll show you how to draw a rose the easy way, step by step, with a unique technique that is easy to remember. You can use this technique in both traditional and digital drawing. I’ll show you how to draw the structure of a rose, and how to shade your rose drawing in a simple, yet realistic way. Coloring is optional. This technique doesn't require a photo reference, but there will be a finished version shown in the corner so that you could see what you’re drawing in every step.
What you’ll need: for digital drawing, a tablet and some drawing software (I used Autodesk SketchBook Pro, desktop version). For traditional drawing: a sheet of paper, HB pencil, two soft pencils (e.g. 2B and 5B), pencil sharpener, eraser.
If you find the pace of the tutorial too fast, you can always learn from a written version presenting the same technique (and don’t forget to scroll down to see the rose drawings of other students!):
