15 Easy Rose Drawing Ideas

Here’s a compilation of easy rose drawing ideas to try out in your sketchbook or doodle page.

Roses can be difficult to draw so I tried to simplify them as much as I could.

I have also included several step-by-step tutorials to make them less confusing.

I have a previous rose drawing tutorial, but this one is the new and improved version with more drawing ideas.

I hope that this blog post can help you feel more confident in drawing roses.

Before, roses were very difficult for me to draw, but after finishing this blog post, I feel like I’ve gotten so much better at drawing roses!

I hope you can feel the same way too 🙂

Drawing Tip: First start off by creating a pencil sketch of your drawing. Once you are satisfied with your pencil sketch, go over it with an ink pen or whatever medium you prefer. Then once the ink dries, erase the pencil sketch underneath to reveal your finished drawing!

Don’t worry about drawing perfectionism – The more you draw, the better you will get and the more your drawing style will develop.

Instead, focus on losing yourself into creating your drawing and let your day’s stress melt away.

I hope you enjoy. Now let’s get to drawing our roses!

1. Step by Step Drawing

To start off, here’s a step-by-step drawing of a rose to try.

Step 1 might look complicated but it’s essentially a messy swirly line.

You can draw a more symmetrical-looking swirl but wonky is good too.

For Step 2, draw the rose petals as shown below.
