How to Draw a Cute Rose

1. Begin the cute rose outline by drawing an eye. Enclose a large oval, with a smaller oval inside it. In the smaller oval, draw two circles. Shade between the oval and circles to indicate the pupil.

2. Draw the second eye, a mirror image of the first. Again, enclose a large oval, with a smaller oval inside it. In the smaller oval, draw two circles. Shade between the oval and circles to indicate the pupil.

3. Draw a long curved line around the eyes, leaving the shape open on the top. Then, use curved lines to draw eyebrows above the eyes and a smiling mouth between them.

4. Draw a series of curved lines to indicate the tips of the petals at the tops of the flowers. One line should double back upon itself.

5. Draw more curved lines at the top of the rosebud, completing the second and third petals. The central petal should form a heart shape.

6. Draw a curved line and a spiral at the top of the rosebud to complete the unfolding petals. Then, draw a "U" shaped line at the base of the flower. This is a sepal - a small green leaf.

7. Use "U" shaped lines to complete the sepal. Then, extend a pair of vertical lines below the flower to form the stem. Next, extend a curved line from the side of the stem. This will become the leaf.

8. Use curved lines to enclose the teardrop-shaped leaf around the leaf vein. Then extend a curved line from the opposite side of the stem, and enclose the second leaf around it.

9. Complete your cute rose outline by detailing the leaves and stem. Use curved lines to enclose pointed thorns on the side of the stem. Contour the leaves with short lines emanating from the central veins.
