Step by Step Valentine Rose Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the Petal Shape
Start with a large teardrop shape pointing downward. This will be the rosebud, or main body of the flower.
Step 2 – Add Top Petals
Draw two curved triangle shapes on top of the bud. These look like the top petals unfolding gently.
Step 3 – Finish the Petal Crown
Add a third petal peeking from behind the first two to complete the blooming crown of the rose.
Step 4 – Draw the Curved Stem with Thorns
Draw a curved line downward from the rosebud to form the stem. Add three tiny triangle shapes along the stem to represent rose thorns.
Step 5 – Add Two Leaves
On each side of the stem, draw an almond-shaped leaf with a line down the middle. These add natural charm to your rose.
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face
To finish your cartoon rose, draw two small round eyes and a smiling curve on the rosebud. Now your flower is full of love and personality!
