Invent and draw your superhero!

Welcome to How to draw a rose. With this tutorial we'll tackling the difficult subject of drawing roses.
It is considered difficult by many to draw this flowers due to the complexity of their shapes however it is not as hard as it looks.
As always it's a matter of simplifying the complex shapes into simpler ones nd add complexity from there. Now a few words of background on this beautiful flower before start drawing it.
A rose is a perennial flower shrub or vine of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae, that contains over 100 species and comes in a variety of colors.
The species form a group of erect shrubs, and climbing or trailing plants, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Natives, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and fragrance.
The leaves are alternate and pinnately compound, with sharply toothed oval-shaped leaflets. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 7 meters in height. Species from different parts of the world easily hybridize, which has given rise to the many types of garden roses!.
We'll start drawing a rose with three simple construction lines. A big circle (the outer perimeter of the flower), a vertical line and a central triangle (sort of). We'll add details and complexity step by step to the final result to this simple outline. Just keep reading :)
The next logical move in how to draw a rose is to add some leaves. Leaves are easy to draw so I won't go into details. Add as many as you think useful to give the simple outline a flowery feel.
Now that we have defined the boundaries of our rose it is time to draw the innermost core of the flower. Try to draw, as I have done, a sort of small chalice or elongated cup, straight in the middle of the flower body. Exactly like in the picture.
Do not forget to leave a comment if you feel like it :) We would love to hear from you!
