I began this drawing with grey guidelines. My rose is cup shaped in the centre with larger petals that unfurl on the sides.
I use basic shapes for each petal and stick lines for the stem and leaves. The bud is a small circle on top.
Now use an opaque black pencil line to draw out the rose in detail. Carefully put in the serated edge for the leaves. Now draw the bud with fine sepals below it.
Your rose is ready. Sniff its fragrance and send it to someone you love.
