On the sweet and romantic Valentine's Day, what best represents a love?Although people have long been accustomed to sending flowers to express their love, there is no flower that can match the symbolic significance of red roses on Valentine's Day.

What is it about the red rose that makes it such a symbol of love? The origin of the red rose comes from Greek mythology. There is a story that the first red rose in the world was colored red with the blood of the Greek goddess Aphrodite after she was scratched by the thorns of a white rose.

There are also stories that the first red rose grew where Adonis, Aphrodite's lover, died and was watered with the goddess' tears.

Roses are given on Valentine's Day primarily because they are a beautiful, fragrant flower that happens to be able to withstand long distance travel. Roses are both beautiful and hardy, which is a large part of the reason for giving roses on Valentine's Day.

For today's drawing tutorial, let's follow the instructions below and try to draw a beautiful red rose. Of course you can also color it in any color you like when you paint it.

In addition to drawing this rose, we will also add some little stars next to it, doesn't that make it feel more like Valentine's Day? If you like this flower, grab your pencil and learn to draw it step by step.
