1) The easiest way to begin sketching a rose is to make a fancy style S that has a curled in tip at the top.
2) When you start sketching out the rose petals, you can begin to see how the S actually forms the base of the rose bud or center part of the rose bloom. Sketch in some nice rounded but pointed petals that have a nice center swirl.
3) Continue to sketch in more petals, but this time the petals are larger, and a bit more full looking. At this point the rose starts to take on a bloomed form.
4) Starting at the right, begin sketching out more of the rose petals. There should be a smaller shaped petal, as well as a larger shaped petal that points in the center.
5) Now that the rose is
all sketched out all you have to start doing now is sketch out the leaves which
are in three. Sketch in the center of the leaves like so, then proceed to the
next step.
6) Once you
have cleaned up the rose freeing it from mistakes, you can start sketching in
the shading starting at the center of the rose, and then slowly work your way
out on the first fold of the rose petal. Notice how there are light spots which
are not shaded to darkly.
7) You will continue to sketch in the shading which adds detail, definition
and texture to your rose. Notice the crosshatching as well which is all part of
the base shading process.
8) Continue
to shade in the rose petals like so, and all you have to do is follow the
darkness and lightly shaded areas of the rose like you see here. Use the rose
above as your guide.
9) Shade more of petals until they are all shaded in. There are
lighter areas to the shading process as well as darkened areas as well.
10) You will start adding your light source to the rose. Do this by
simply erasing and smudging until you get the areas lighter like you see it
done here on the rose.
11) Soften the rose shading process and when you're
done your sketch should look like the rose you see here.
