Rose flower drawings are so exciting when you are sitting under a shady tree in a middle of a garden full of scented roses. The scenery is so important in developing your mood to start draw a rose or a bunch of roses.

But for beginners, before you start your rose flower drawing, make sure you take some photos or buy few pictures of roses...

Why?

You must learn to draw roses from a 2D photo first before you can draw a real rose flower in a 3D perspective. Make sure you practice to draw based on 2D pics or photos. As practice makes perfect...

Once you get the idea to draw a rose based on a 2D perspective, then it's a lot easier to draw a 3D rose or a realistic drawing of a rose.

So, what you need to do your rose pencil drawing is:

1. a nice place to sit...because it might take you long hours before you finish your drawing.
2. a good art drawing pencil set consists of different grade of graphite pencils (B, 2B and 4B). Faber Castell, Mont Blanc, Bic or Steadtler are among the best art pencil brands.
3. Another thing you need is a pencil eraser and a pencil sharpener.
4. a light, smooth surface paper holder (preferably with a clip), and
5. of course, a piece of A4 paper (preferably a 80gm photocopy paper).

You can purchase your art drawing pencil set at your local art suppliers. Subscribe to my newsletter or to The Drawing Blog so you'll be updated with my newest findings and recommendation for you to have the best value-for-money art drawing pencil set...

Take a piece of paper (preferably a cheap A4 photocopy paper) and a drawing pencil set. (Do you know what is a drawing pencil set? Click here)

Rose Pencil Drawings - How To Draw A Rose, Step No. 2

Take a HB or B grade graphite pencil. Use it to draw sketches of your rose pencil drawing. Start by sketching the whole of the rose first. Either you start from the center of your rose drawing or from the outer petals first...it's entirely up to you. As long as your rose sketch is on your paper, it's alright.

Look at your still rose picture and after you've drawn all the petals, then, stop looking at your sketch and compare it with your subject.

Ask these 2 important questions:-

1. Does it has a correct size to be on your paper?

If the answer is NOT to any of these questions...Erase your rose pencil sketch, and re-sketch your rose drawing according to the correct size and angle.

Okay? Finish drawing your rose pencil sketch? Let's continue to the next step...
