Rose

Today I picked up rose as my subject for drawing.

Here are the ways in which I proceeded, starting of with a simple rose.

 1.  Drew the basic structure of the rose as very thin lines.

   

 2. Completed the sketch in this manner.

 3. And then did smooth pencil shading. So,  here is the outcome : pencil sketch of a simple rose. 

Here are some more paintings of mine of a rose. I generally start the sketch of a by drawing the petals which are at the center and proceed by adding the petals around the center. 

The below sketch is done using pencils: 8B, 6B, 4B, 2B and HB.

here is an attempt to capture red rose in my watercolor pad.

And the below one is an acrylic painting.
