Drawing Together Episode 16: A Rose from Ashes
this episode is Part of the Drawing Together live video series – learn more here
This suggestion came from you, viewers. Flowers aren’t something I’ve spent much time working with, so let’s take some time to explore drawing a rose. How do we draw a rose? We’ll find out! Work from your own rose, or follow along using this reference image: https://bit.ly/34ZR98B
Today, I’m working with:
- White drawing paper
- Charcoal Pencils
- Vine Charcoal
- Kneaded and Rubber Erasers
In this session, we’ll cover:
- How to draw a realistic rose in charcoal
- Shading techniques
- Creating texture
- Subtle value control
Here is the more finished drawing of the rose
This was just a very quick pencil sketch of the rose. I like the leaf shapes and negative spaces at the bottom. I may do a more finished drawing of the rose.
This is a great lesson for working on observation. Thank you
Tough but awesome!
WOW, STUNNING, THANYOU SO MUCH FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL DETAILED TUTORIAL. YOUR EXPLANATION OF EVERYTHING HAS REALLY HELPED NOT ONLY MY DRWING BUT MY PASTEL PAINTING AS WELL.I LOVE THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN EVERY LITTLE DETAIL… Lynda from New Zealand
Tried watercolor cotton paper. A little too much texture for me. Not very happy with this one
Wow, thank you! That means a lot!
Thank you, Jaci! I use charcoal on charcoal paper, and I blend with brushes usually.
Gorgeous!
This looks great!
Very nice work!
Your work is amazing! I am a beginner, but your work gives me inspiration!
Roses are, for some reason, so hard. This went much better than I was anticipating.
You’re doing great!!
Are you using charcoal or graphite. Your work(all of it) looks so smooth. Very nice!
WOW! I love it. You did great!
This was one of the most difficult drawings for me. I kept getting lost.
This looks amazing! The light is beautiful !
Great job here. Thank you for sharing!
Just to let you know, I am a beginner but love it.
First attempt at a rose. Very complex subject
