Drawings Featuring Roses - Every Rose Has Its Thorn

When it comes to romantic or cheesy gestures, nothing has quite the same impact as sending someone a bouquet of a hundred roses! With their delicate layers of petals and protective thorns, roses possess a certain air of elegance and nobility about them. Simply holding one can make you look classy, and you can even collect a few to create a gorgeous headdress. At the same time, their thorny nature also makes for stunning gothic portraits—just take a look at the illustrations below, and you’ll see what we mean!
