3D pens are becoming more and more popular. This is an inexpensive, unusual and bright device that turns simple drawing into an exciting and interesting activity for the whole family.

Drawings drawn with pencils, felt-tip pens, or paints, in most cases, remain in the albums, at best, you hang the picture in a frame on the wall. A 3D pen allows you to make voluminous and bright drawings that can take place not only on a wall or in an album, but are also guaranteed to decorate a room, a Christmas tree and your interior. Draw and create three-dimensional drawings for any holiday.

What can be drawn with a 3D pen? Anything, as long as your imagination lasts.

We do not divide the complexity of drawings by age or skill. With a little time, effort and patience, you and your child will learn how to draw amazing, vibrant 3D drawings and objects.

Take any coloring book and start tracing the drawing in the same way as with a regular pencil:

If it becomes boring to circle the finished coloring pages, then draw the drawing yourself and turn it into a three-dimensional decoration of the room and interior:

When 2D images and drawings are fully mastered and you are confident in controlling the speed and temperature settings of the 3D pen, the next step is to create 3D objects. You can come up with drawings yourself, or use templates with step-by-step instructions on our website .

Crafts 3D pen. "D" difficulty level.

Children who come to their first classes with a 3D pen, learn how to work with it and draw on stencils, are already mastering the “D” level. They can create interesting and colorful 2D crafts with a 3D pen, using a ready-made stencil or their own drawing. As a rule, stencils are a contour image.

A contour is a closed line that represents the outline of a geometric figure, subject, etc.

They help the child to define the boundaries of different colors and parts of the picture.

To make a flat (2D) craft look good, you need to follow simple rules:

• You need to fill the images with plastic using smooth neat hatching from top to bottom, starting from the left edge and moving towards the right. For lefties, do the opposite: start from the right edge and move the hatching towards the left.
• It is important to remember that when you work, you have the ability to rotate the stencil and place it in any convenient position. In the same way, you can rotate the brush and change the angle of the 3D pen relative to the craft or stencil.
• When the craft is ready, it remains only to remove it from the stencil. The main thing is not to rush and slowly fold paper under craft, and on the opposite side, press on the craft with your finger. Remember that it is important for us to separate paper from plastic, and not vice versa. If you bend the craft, in the end the plastic may break or bend into a shape we don’t need.
• Not less than important point – strengthen your craft. Beginner children often make mistakes in their work, and the craft ends up being fragile. To strengthen, turn your work to the wrong side and shade all over. Which side to choose on the wrong side is up to you. As a rule, the front side is the one that lay in front of us during hatching. However, some children choose the bottom as the front side. Mainly because that side is smooth. The drawing on it remains exactly the same as on the upper side, but is his mirror image. If you have used SBS plastic, it is best to use a clear color.

Common Mistakes

• Quickly move the 3D pen over the image. In this case, children complain that the plastic sticks to the nozzle of the pen and accumulates on it. Before you start hatching, first place the tip of the pen on the desired point in the drawing. Then, while pressing the "forward" button (the plastic supply button), wait until the plastic begins to come out of the nozzle. And only then begin to smoothly drive along the stencil so that the plastic has time to fall on the paper and stick to it.
• The borders between the colors of the picture should be close to each other and not have gaps. Otherwise, when removing the craft from the stencil, all colors / details will be removed separately.

If you follow all the above rules and tips, do not hesitate - the child will get a neat and high-quality craft. You can make many interesting things from flat crafts, such as key chains, brooches, magnets, hair clips, bookmarks and much more.!

Crafts 3D pen. "D+" difficulty level.

When a child has achieved hatching skills (level "D") and is able to make neat and interesting 2D crafts with a 3D pen, he will be able to easily move to the next step. Level "D +" also implies the creation of crafts using a stencil, but with elements of volume. The volumetric effect, in this case, can be achieved in 2 ways: due to layering of plastic or connection between several flat parts.

Crafts 3D pen. Cat icons

Obtaining a three-dimensional form by applying layers of plastic.

Firstly, the smaller the part, the faster it heats up, and up to high temperatures. Therefore, when you fill a small part with plastic, hold it with some tool, such as tweezers or a side cutter.

Second, when you have reached the right size for your part, inspect it carefully with different parties and fix any imperfections. To do this, the 3D pen suggests using the minimum plastic feed rate. Myriwell RP100C 3D pen has 4 speed settings. To switch them, you need to press the “forward” button 2 times in a row, after which the letter “L” and the number of the selected speed will appear on the display. Use the forward button to switch speeds. More detailed description 3D pens rp100c .

So, this method will be useful if you want to create any detail small size, apply a pattern or make a convex/concave icon.

Compilation of three-dimensional figures from several flat parts.

We can say that this method has more opportunities for creating simple volumetric crafts. You just need to make a few flat parts and combine them into one volumetric shape. The simplest example is a cube. The cube consists of 6 squares, thus, by making each of them and connecting them in series, you will get a three-dimensional cube. Also, examples of crafts include: a boat, an airplane, caskets, glasses, flowers and much more.

The main difficulty of this method is the creation of a stencil for crafts. You can download our stencils for free! Can be used already ready samples. if you decide to make a craft according to your own plan, you need to try to convey all the dimensions of the parts as accurately as possible and then connect them correctly.

Crafts 3D pen. "C" difficulty level.

After the child has mastered the "D" / "D +" difficulty levels, he can learn how to create crafts next levels— "C" and "C+". These crafts are a three-dimensional shape in the form of a ball or an ellipsoid. A ball is a figure based on a circle, these are football / tennis balls, planets, the sun, and so on. Ellipsoid, in addition to a strange and frightening at first glance name, has at its base not a circle, but an oval. Accordingly, this is a three-dimensional figure with an oval base. The shape of an ellipsoid is an egg, balloon and many other items that we meet in Everyday life.

How to make frames.

To make a volumetric sphere or ellipsoid, you do not need to fill them with plastic, which saves time and plastic. In the classes in the "site" project, you will learn how to make voluminous spherical figures, hollow inside - this is the main feature of this form, which we call a frame. In appearance, the frame resembles a birdcage, consisting of twigs, and empty inside. Emptiness provides lightness and airiness of the future crafts, and "twigs" are the foundation for surface hatching. It is worth remembering that when hatching the frame, it is important not to impose a large amount of plastic on one area. Otherwise, due to the severity of the plastic and the high temperature, the frame will fail. To avoid this situation, strokes must be applied evenly, one after another, as if stroking a stencil.

What are frames for?

In stage C, the framework is the main topic that needs to be mastered very well. If you know how to create a wireframe, then consider that you can do almost everything with a 3D pen. In the future, frames will be needed in almost every voluminous craft. As a rule, for crafts with a 3D pen, you may need frames no larger than 10 cm in diameter.

You can master the technique of creating a frame in our 3D modeling classes, or in our video tutorials on the YouTube channel.

"C+" difficulty level.

When the art of creating a frame is successfully mastered, it becomes possible to give it a special meaning and give life, literally. So, you have a finished ball, or ellipsoid, and you do not know what to do with it next. The answer is simple - connect your imagination and creative thinking, catch associations and think about what or who your workpiece can become.

Level "C +" involves the creation of three-dimensional crafts with two-dimensional elements drawn using a stencil. Usually, the first thing that comes to our students' minds when they see a ball is the Smeshariki cartoon. And they are thinking in the right direction. Characters from this cartoon are a great example and starting template for crafts at this level. However, we do not limit your imagination and always support the guys who create their own characters.

Why sketch a future craft?

So, having chosen the hero of the future craft, it does not hurt to draw a sketch. As you remember, a sketch is needed in order to convey the dimensions of the future work as accurately as possible. Check all important details and just have a visual representation of your character. For the frame, it is best to use PLA or SBS plastic. Having painted the frame itself and individual parts with color, you can begin to connect them together, or to assemble the character. When hatching the frame, you also need to divide it into different zones, determine where the front part of the craft is, where the bottom and top are, mark any details (clothing, color, etc.) The details of the figure include arms, legs, tails, horns, ears, mane, hooves, wings, items and more. By putting all the details together, the result is an interesting wayward character that you can give a name to and come up with your own story.

"B" difficulty level of crafts with a 3D pen

Higher and higher we are moving through the levels of complexity of creating 3D models. And now we come to really complex, challenging, and terribly interesting topics. "B"-level represents the ability to create complex crafts of representatives of the animal world. Animals are one of the most amazing and mysterious creatures on Earth. They surround us in everyday life, become our friends and faithful companions, or simply delight the eye. Often kids dream of creating a small copy of their little friend who would always be there. And the 3D pen gives us such an opportunity.

We study anatomy and structural features

Whatever the type, color and genus of an animal, it has a complex unusual shape. This is where the wireframe creation goes to new level. To recreate the animal in a reduced model, you need to carefully look at its anatomy, physiology, any special features behavior. And also to understand that the work may not be limited to one frame. As a rule, all parts of the body of an animal are three-dimensional frames that repeat its anatomical features. It doesn’t matter if it’s still difficult for a child to understand this topic - a teacher will help with drawing a sketch, and if you study at home, encyclopedias and the Internet with illustrations will come to the rescue. In any case, the sketch and craft can always be styled and simplified depending on the age of the child. The image on the sketch can be either hyper-realistic for middle school children, or cartoony, simplified for younger students.

And again a sketch of the craft

Thus, before proceeding with volumetric modeling with a 3D pen, it is necessary draw a sketch either alone or with the help of a teacher. It is important to display the position of the animal on the sketch and remember that the drawing is commensurate with the future craft. It is desirable, and sometimes necessary, to depict the selected animal from different sides - from the side (profile), from the front (face), sometimes even from below / above. Your sketch is a stencil for frames for crafts. All frames are created in turn for each detail - head, torso, legs. In details such as tails, wings or horns, volume is often achieved by layering plastic, as in the "D+" level. This is due to the fact that these parts, as a rule, have a small thickness or size, so making a frame will be problematic. Having created and painted over with color all the details, they need to be connected together.

In addition to representatives of the animal world, level "B" includes the creation of various stylized characters with a 3D pen. Heroes of stories, cartoons, animation or video games often appear before us in a different, rethought form. In our favorite stories, an animal, plant, or object lends itself to humanization. They are given human features, habits and social roles, a good example is the cartoon "Zootopia". Such heroes can also be created at "B"-level.

Crafts 3D pen "B +" difficulty level.

This level is a logical and technical continuation of the "B" level. If the first step included creating a sketch for a future craft and building frames based on it, then the second is the actual implementation of the craft. This includes choosing a color for the model, detailing, hatching techniques, and creating a support.

Choice of plastic color

The choice of colors used in the craft must be carried out very carefully and responsibly. And that's why. Often, the colors that are needed or well suited for the figurine may belong to a different type of plastic. And each plastic has its own characteristics that you need to know. If you want to use PLA, it is important to keep in mind that while hatching the wireframe, its "twigs" can melt and fall through. Therefore, the strokes must be distributed at a distance from each other, moving along the entire shape of the frame. The colors of PLA are quite bright and saturated, therefore they will be an excellent tool in achieving the colorfulness and richness of your craft.

If you decide to use SBS plastic, remember that it is translucent. Due to this property, it will not be possible to apply color in layers of different colors, as with PLA - they will mix with each other and give a completely different, unnecessary shade. Therefore, for the base, try to use neutral or easily overlapping colors - transparent and white. SBS plastic has a "glassy" effect, and can also shine, which gives the crafts an interesting effect.

Detailing is very important, especially when creating relatively large crafts. A lot of details gives the model the effect of completeness and attracts the eye, makes others look at themselves and find all the nuances. Sometimes, without details, the craft can look empty and rustic, but in rare cases, the detailing is completely unnecessary.

Craft anchor points

The final moment in creating crafts is to determine the fulcrum. Although you need to think about it even when choosing a position, you need to “put on your feet” the model at the very end. It is important to understand that the slightest tilt of the craft in any direction can lead to the fact that she will not be able to stand on her own. More layers of plastic can also affect this, giving the work heaviness. The most optimal and win-win option is to use 3-4 points of support.

4 points of support

It is important to use 4 points if you decide to make an animal on 4 legs. There should be no difficulties here, the main thing is to follow the same length of the legs and their location. Between them there should be a distance that you can measure intuitively, using an eye, based on a sketch, or by trial and error (the most effective method).

3 points of support

3 fulcrum also have a place to be, this includes crafts of marine life with 2 fins and 1 tail, or a figure with 2 legs and 1 tail, or a hero with 2 legs and a fulcrum in the form of an additional item (sword, staff, element of clothing, nature, etc.). In this case, it is important to organize the support points in the same way as organizing the vertices of isosceles triangle. 2 points should be opposite each other (for example, fins) and rely on the third, balancing them (for example, tail).

2 points of support

Probably the most difficult is the organization of 2 points of support. Suitable for two-legged characters or animals, or animals balancing on two legs. If you decide on two points of support, make sure that your figure stands vertically so that neither side outweighs it in any direction. Make sure that the feet have the desired length, proportional to the size of the figure, and at their base have an even stroke without bumps and bumps. The position of the feet and their distance from each other are also important: heels together, socks apart, think over every detail. If the figure is still not standing on its feet, look in which direction it falls over, analyze and think about why, where you can and should add plastic to balance the figure, and where to remove it. The main thing is not to despair and remember that the craft can always be corrected, no matter what stage of execution it is at.

Crafts 3D pen. "A" difficulty level

The second level of complexity of crafts is identical to the third. The main difference is the creation of a person with all anatomical proportions. Small or large, the craft, first of all, should have its own sketch, which should reflect all proportions and dimensions in full size. Thus, before drawing a sketch, you need to determine the size of the future craft and mark it on a piece of paper by making notches with a pencil where the bottom will be and where the top will be. After that, you need to center line- a smooth vertical line passing through the center of the sheet, it will serve as a good support for us when building. Conventionally, the drawing can be divided into two parts, so we make a third notch in the middle of the center line (do not forget about the top and bottom). The middle shows where half of the human body passes, where his legs grow from.

Upper human body

We work with the top part of the image. By dividing the top of our line into 4 more equal divisions, we get the height of the head. The human face is oval in shape, and the skull itself is round. It is important to remind the child that a person has a neck, and that it has a length and a width. To determine the width of the shoulders, we need a distance equal to the height of the head. Putting the height of the head to the right of the center line, we make a notch that determines the width of the shoulder. We do the same on the left. So, we have an idea where and what size to depict the head and shoulders, the rest is the torso and arms. The length of the arms, together with the hands, reaches the middle of the thigh. The thigh bone is located in the upper half of the leg. The elbow is half of the hand clenched into a fist. The length of the wrist is equal to the distance from the chin to the hairline.

Lower part of a man

Working on the bottom of the image. Let's take a look at the bottom line. Its top is the place where a person's legs grow from, the base of the segment is the heels. Dividing this segment in half, we put a notch with the location of the knees. Do not forget that the knees are rounded, the upper part of the leg (thigh) is slightly larger and rounder than the lower part (shin). It is important to remember that the foot also has a height. The length of the foot is equal to the distance from the elbow to the beginning of the wrist.

So we sorted out the main proportions human body which are easy to remember and use even for beginners. A profile picture of a person would also be helpful. Remember that the human spine is not straight, but has an s-shape. That the neck grows from the spine, and is not located in the middle of the body, it is slightly tilted forward. Male and female body also differ from each other. If you are depicting a man, use rougher and sharper straight lines, if you are depicting women, use smoother and more rounded ones. Having drawn a sketch, you can begin to create frames for a future craft.

DIY 3D pen "A+" difficulty level

"A+" is the implementation of crafts in color, stroke shape and detail. We have already talked in detail about each of these points in the description of "B +". And here we will consider the main proportions of the human face. The human face has an oval shape, slightly tapering towards the chin, like an inverted egg. Let's draw an oval. Divide the oval horizontally in half - this is the line of the eyes. Important nuance, which children almost always forget - the hairline. Conventionally, a person's face can be divided into 3 segments. The first segment is the distance from the chin to the base of the nose. The second segment is the distance from the nose to the eyebrows. The third is the distance from the eyebrows to the hairline. And there is also a small distance above, showing the part of the head where the hair grows, the top of the head. All these 4 segments are included in our drawn oval.

We don't need to draw a detailed portrait, but we need to position the parts of the face correctly in our craft. And based on these proportions, you can do it quite accurately. How to find eyes on the face. We draw a vertical center line in our oval - this is the middle of the face. We return to the line of the eyes and divide it in half on both sides - here are the pupils. Pupil-to-pupil distance determines the length of the mouth (the corners of the lips). And the distance between the eyes is equal to the distance of one eye. Here is some interesting math.

DIY 3D pen "S" level

Here is the tip of the iceberg! Although, of course, there is no limit to perfection. The last level of complexity of crafts created by a 3D pen is rather not the difficulties of working with the form, but the difficulties of working with details and color. "S"-level is complex crafts in which there are smooth colors that pass into each other. Ordinary color transitions plastics are rough contrasting borders. But if you have managed to achieve an airy and translucent color transition, you are a master of 3D modeling. Probably, in order to achieve this effect, translucent SBS plastic is indispensable here, just as knowledge of color is indispensable. The main colors in our crazy colorful world are yellow, blue and red. Their mixing with each other gives rise to new interesting colors and shades. But, unfortunately, the color range that plastic manufacturers offer us is not replete with a large number of colors. Therefore, contrasting colors and colors of the same shade come to the rescue. In the case of contrasting colors, unusual transitions appear that create a new color.

These are couples like

• red + blue = purple
• yellow + red = orange
• blue + yellow = green

Colors from one shade give the effect of a smooth transition. For example, blue + dark green + light green such a chain gives a calm smooth transition from majestic blue to light light green.

Where can color transitions be used? Basically, as decoration in clothing items or additional items, natural objects. You can also achieve a stunning effect when creating any mystical creatures or heroes of legends and myths - fiery cerberuses, space manticores, stone golems and many others.

Detailing crafts 3D pens

Also, the “S” level is a complex detailing of the craft. The larger the craft, the more details it should contain. This can include any patterns, drawings, texture, small objects and decorations. Patterned embroidery on the details of clothing, ornaments on weapons, buttons and jewelry, mustaches and claws, embossed horns - all this and much, much more will give your craft an original and colorful look that can captivate any look. Detailing can also be attributed to hatching methods. A stroke allows you to set the length and direction of hair or wool growth, a stroke can be given the appearance of an ornament, the effect of curls, folds or pimples, chain mail armor, scales or smooth skin.

3D drawings - flight of fancy

3D drawings - flight of fancy

At the end of the last century, the artist Kurt Wenner blew up public consciousness. Since then, his idea has found application in many areas of life: advertising images, self-leveling floors, televisions, cinemas, processing machines. But the beloved additive technologies do not stand still. Before we had time to be surprised by 3D printers, a new “player” entered the arena - pens that create three-dimensional drawings in the air.

What can be done

This device really looks like a pen that uses special plastic in different colors instead of ink. Freezing in air, it gives a three-dimensional picture. The possibilities of the "magic" pencil are huge:

• develops fine motor skills and creative thinking in children;
• used to create 3D models and images;
• used in everyday life for minor repairs and restoration of plastic products.

This invention has found application even in medicine. Surgeons are considering using a 3D pen to repair cartilage and bone tissue. The functions of plastic are performed by living cells and biopolymers, which “paint over” damaged areas.

How to draw

The principle of operation of the marker is not complicated. A video about drawing with a 3D pen can be found on the net. If there is minimal creativity, then drawing will be easy even for novice artists, for whom there are many stencils and templates in each kit. A large number of these auxiliary elements are also presented on the Internet.

Stencils just need to be downloaded, printed on film or thin paper and cut out curly holes, which are then filled with plastic of the desired color. The drawn segments are interconnected to obtain a three-dimensional object.

Another way to draw is to use a paper model. How to make drawings with a 3D marker step by step:

• draw the desired picture in the form of a flat pattern;
• glue the scan;
• we circle the model along the contour with a pen;
• fill the voids between the faces with plastic;
• delete the template.

Drawing lessons can be viewed on the video.

The third way is drawing in the air. But without certain skills, this will not work right away. Any inaccurate movement will affect the quality of the drawing.

What to draw

3D pen drawings for beginners don't have to be complicated. It is worth trying to create with such figures:

With practice comes skills and abilities. For virtuoso possession of the marker, stencils and templates will not be needed. And then you can create real masterpieces:

• toys;
• sculptures;
• elements of interior decoration;
• jewelry and everything that is available to the artist's imagination.

And for professionals, 3D technologies have truly opened up scope for creativity. With the help of volumetric markers, they draw elements of clothing, shoes, house projects. A video clip of drawings 3 d with a pen gives the direction of the application of talents.

It is better for a beginner to try his hand with a simple 3d pencil model. Although, in principle, which pen to use, it does not matter. Experienced creative person to create an interesting thing, the Myriwell pen is enough. As the pictures of the step-by-step drawing with a 3d pen show, within an hour after the test it becomes clear whether you need this “toy”.

Three-dimensional paintings on the pavement and walls of houses have long been part of contemporary fine art. For beginners to master the technique of 3D drawing, plain paper is suitable.

Rules for drawing 3D drawings on paper

The sheet is characterized by two dimensions - length and width. To give the image drawn on this flat surface depth and volume, you need to understand what linear perspective, chiaroscuro and angle. It is difficult to create the appearance of a third dimension in a drawing without taking into account the position of the depicted object in space in relation to the viewer.

To create the illusion of volume in contemporary art the anamorphosis effect is often used - a distortion of the projection of the image, which becomes proportional at a certain viewing angle. However, this is not at all new trick. Good example perspective anamorphosis - the skull in the painting "Ambassadors", painted in 1533 German painter Hans Holbein.

Applies anamorphosis in his works modern italian artist Alessandro Diddy.

He adds real objects to the photo with his drawings - a pencil, an eraser or own hand which makes the images even more realistic. To see the shape of an object, just the right angle is not enough, sufficient lighting is necessary.

Under bright light spotlights, the volume of surrounding objects is smoothed out, they visually “flatten”, and in the dark it’s simply impossible to see anything. Only in the combination of shadows and light is the volume of things around us manifested, so the logical transmission of chiaroscuro is so important for drawing 3D pictures. Another principle of drawing in three dimensions is linear perspective.

The basic rule for conveying volume in a 3D drawing is that the closer the depicted object is to the viewer, the larger it is in relation to those further away. This also applies to separate parts or sides of an object. To see how this rule works in nature, it is enough to stand at the beginning of a long straight street and look in the opposite direction.

Having mastered the concepts of perspective, angle and chiaroscuro, you can start creating a 3D drawing on paper.

For beginners, it will be useful to use the following algorithm:

• how light and shadow fall on it,
• what are characteristics,
• how the outlines change when the angle is changed,
• what simple shapes (cube, cone, ball) are similar to its parts.

1. First draw the main details of the picture. After that, you can start hatching to reflect chiaroscuro.
2. It is important to break the process into small steps. At the end of each, check how the drawing looks from the angle of view chosen at the beginning of the work. Erasing a dozen extra or wrong lines is easier than looking for an error and ways to fix it after the work is completed.

What you need

For drawing, apart from the table, hands and inspiration, you need:

• Thick light paper and what it can be fixed on the table - weights, pushpins, adhesive tape, a tablet with clothespins.
• graphite pencils(hard and soft), simple and colored, markers.
• Eraser or nag.
• Ruler.
• Desk lamp.

Sketching a drawing

A preliminary sketch is equally important for any image, whether it be a comic book or a decorative panel. the main task sketch - outline the basis of the future work and determine the position of the figures.

For a sketch, it is better to use light strokes. hard pencil(T or H) so that they can be easily overwritten if necessary. At this stage, you need to draw the main lines outlining the boundaries of the main elements of the picture and give them a predetermined shape. After that, you can start applying hatching to convey light and shade.

How to correctly convey light and shadow

The logical transfer of shadows is the key to the realism of the image of a three-dimensional object. The closer the light source, the brighter the surface of objects and vice versa, also the darkening of individual parts of the object varies significantly depending on the shape.

For example, a cube lit from the left will have a light left side and a progressively darker right side. In this case, the border of the transition from light to shadow will be similar to a straight line parallel to the left edge of the figure. If we replace the cube with a ball, the face of the shadow will take the form of a semicircle.

• Carefully study the object before creating its three-dimensional image, determine its features.
• Apply hatching lines in accordance with the shape of objects and the intended lighting.
• Apply shadows little by little, consistently. Strengthening the darkening should be done carefully, subsequently applying an additional shadow is much easier than removing an existing one.
• No need to make clear boundaries in dark places, it is better to grind them with a special shading or just a piece of paper to a single smooth shade.
• The eraser can additionally lighten the elements.

Master classes for beginners

Knowing the theory, you can try to create your own 3D drawings on paper. For beginners, the best practice is to repeat other people's work. Understand the building logic volumetric images workshops will help.

3d hand

To draw a voluminous hand, the “ruling” technique is used. This method is ideal for initial attempts at creating 3D illusions on paper.

What do you need:

1. Outline the outlines of the palm with fingers apart on the sheet.
2. Line the page like a student's notebook.
3. Leave the lines to the right and left of the borders of the hand even.
4. "Above" the hand, bend the lines away from you, repeating the convex shape of the back of the hand and fingers.
5. Bring all the lines brighter, color the resulting “lines” in contrast.
6. If desired, you can add a small shadow on one side.

When looking at such a picture, it seems that the sheet lies on top of a voluminous hand, fitting it like a thin fabric.

3d heart

To depict a voluminous heart, the line will also come in handy.

Step by step:

1. Draw the outline of a heart in the center.
2. Line the entire sheet, excluding the contours of the central image.
3. Curve the lines around the picture, creating the illusion of "indentation".
4. Bring brighter lines, if desired, you can color the "lines".
5. Apply shadows, emphasizing the volume of the heart and the recess in which it lies.

If everything is done correctly, the drawing will be perceived as if a voluminous heart is lying on a soft striped pillow.

3d hole in paper

Contrasting stripes will make the hole drawn in the page realistic. You will need a pencil and a ruler, as all the lines of the drawing are straight. draw a rectangle correct form towards the center of the sheet. If you place the future "hole" end-to-end with the edge of the canvas, the effect will be less noticeable.

Draw:

1. Connect the straight lower left corner of the figure with the upper right.
2. Mark lines parallel to two adjacent sides of the rectangle with a crease along the intended diagonal. It turned out one large rectangle with several small ones, as if nested inside each other.
3. Make the auxiliary diagonal brighter. The image is similar to the view of the inside corner of an open box, striped on the inside.
4. Paint over the stripes through one, starting with the smallest area in the corner of the figure.
5. Decide where the light source will be. Apply a light shadow to light stripes from the corner of the crease to the edge of the pattern, reducing the length of the blackout from the “bottom” to the “top”.
6. Blend shadows. The drawing is ready.

3d hole in the ground

As always, you should start by sketching the future hole. The more bends, the more interesting the result looks.

Draw:

1. The contour must be stretched, since the illusion's perception angle is about 30 degrees, visually the image will look at least a quarter shorter than the true one.
2. Draw lines from top to bottom along the entire contour of the hole, outlining the internal “folds” in accordance with the shape of the hole.
3. Draw all the lines brighter, eliminating possible flaws along the way.
4. Choose where the light will fall from and, accordingly, apply a shadow to the “inner” surface of the hole, emphasizing the roundness of the vertical creases.
5. Taking into account the expected lighting, darken the pattern additionally diagonally from bottom to top, from a solid shadow at the bottom to a slight “twilight” at the surface.
6. If desired, you can draw the texture of the earth around the hole, finish the cracks, stones and grass.

You should look at the finished drawing at an angle, along the internal creases, the dark “lower” part is closer to the viewer.

3d Steps (ladder)

Stairs are a great subject for 3D images.

Draw:

1. Draw a rectangle in the center of the page. This is the opening into which the steps will descend.
2. Mark a point in the middle of the right side.
3. Connect the auxiliary line to the upper left corner of the rectangle with the mark. This is the conditional edge of the stairs.
4. Apply from the bottom edge to the auxiliary line vertically parallel. The stripes should be different in width. The end side of the steps is narrower than the top.
5. Now you can form the stairs. To do this, close wide stripes parallel to the lower edge of the main frame with segments from the auxiliary line. Close narrow strips at an angle to get a broken edge.
6. Easy to shade narrow stripes.
7. Paint over the upper part of the drawing from the edge of the steps to the upper and right borders of the opening completely. This part depicts the unlit surface of the wall.
8. Mark a point on the right side of the figure approximately ¼ from the bottom edge and connect it with an auxiliary straight line to the upper left corner.
9. Part of the steps from new feature darken slightly to an unlit surface. Closer to the wall, apply thicker shadows.
10. Blend the borders of the shadows so that there are no clear lines.

How to draw a drop of water 3D

You will need pencils, white paper, skillful hands.

You can draw a drop as shown in the video:

1. Sketch first.
2. Details of the drop pattern (plays, reflection of light, shadow, trace of water).

3d Doorway (or dungeon)

To create the illusion of a vertical image of the opening, you can add walls and a floor:

1. Expand the sheet wide side. In the lower right part, draw a rectangular part about a third of the entire area. Connect the upper left corners of the page and the rectangle. This diagonal is the junction of the walls, the rectangle is the floor.
2. Line the walls finely parallel to the edges of the sheet. The left side of the diagonal is vertical, the right side is horizontal. The walls are ready.
3. Draw in the left wall almost in the corner a doorway with a rounded upper part so that the threshold falls on the junction of the wall and the floor.
4. The angle between the walls and the floor are guidelines for the logical location of the door. It should be slightly elongated along the left edge so that when viewed from an angle along the diagonal, the proportions are evened out.
5. Shade the opening parallel to the threshold, more on the right side.
6. Add hinges and a door open in right side. The right edge of the door should be parallel to the wall junction.
7. Detail the door. Looks good "vertical" boards.
8. Apply shadows. Be sure to shade the borders of the line by 2-3 cm around the opening and the door to hide the irregularity of the shapes.

View at an angle of about 30-45 degrees from the lower right corner of the sheet.

3d butterfly

One of the secrets of the illusion of volume is the cast shadow. The second is the modified proportions. The part of the drawing further away from the viewer should extend along the line of sight.

The wingspan is not fundamental, but for beginners to master 3D drawings on paper, it is better to choose the profile option in order to draw one wing instead of two.

The initial sketch of the butterfly is proportional, the bottom edge corresponds to the final location. From here, the viewer will see it.

Draw:

1. Now you need to stretch the image vertically. To do this, divide the sketch vertically into 4 equal parts. You can draw temporary auxiliary lines in these places.
2. The proportions of the bottom piece do not change. You need to stretch the picture starting from the second part - lengthen it by a quarter, the third - by half, and the fourth should come out three quarters longer than the original.
3. Draw the outline of the drawing, remove all unnecessary - auxiliary lines and the remains of the first sketch.
4. Detail the picture, designate the pattern of the wings, the villi on the body, draw the antennae. You can also colorize if you wish.
5. Add a shadow symmetrically diagonally from the bottom edge of the picture. Darken it completely, blend the borders.
6. You can enhance the illusion by cutting off the top of the sheet at about ¾ of the drawing, leaving a piece of the wing protruding beyond the edge of the page.

3d Eraser

An eraser is a small object, its 3D copy on paper can be drawn literally from nature. First you need to set up workplace. Fix the sheet so that it does not move during the drawing process, install a lamp so that the light falls on the left.

Draw:

1. Put the elastic where it will be drawn. Outline.
2. View from the vantage point chosen by the audience. Mark three points behind the eraser so that they are above its top three corners.
3. Remove eraser. According to the marks, draw the “upper” outline of the gum. In this case, the edges will narrow from the foreground to the background. Erase the guide lines inside the figure.
4. Put the eraser in place, see how the light falls on it. Outline the drop shadow and move the swatch to the side.
5. Darken the edges of the drawn gum, blend in right places and enjoy the result.

3d falling man

A very simple 3D illusion - a picture of a man holding on to an edge. The trick is that the character is located simultaneously on two sides of the sheet.

How to draw:

1. First, draw a figure of a person stretching up closer to the right edge of the sheet. The upper part of the figure is almost 2 times longer than the lower one, as seen from above. Hands to the wrists, no palms.
2. Measure the distance between the ends of the arms of the figurine.
3. Turn the paper face down, draw palms with fingers holding the edge of the left side of the sheet approximately in the middle.
4. Bend the sheet into a semicircle so that the pictures match. If everything worked out, work out the details and color the little man.

How to draw in 2 planes

3D pictures executed in two planes are very effective. The illusion of volume is manifested by distorting the image at an angle to the fold line of the sheet and changing the proportions.

3d ladder

You will need fairly stiff paper or thin cardboard.

3D drawings on paper for beginners should be performed strictly observing all parameters and calculations.

Step by step:

1. Before starting work, it is necessary to indicate where the fold will be.
2. On both sides of this line, draw a ladder with rungs mirrored at an angle.
3. Connect the ends of the ladder straight lines, repeat the crossbars between them - this will be a shadow.
4. The stairs should be brighter than the shadow!
5. Bend the sheet and find a viewing angle at which the stairs will appear to be flat. In this case, the shadow will remain on the "wall" and "floor".

Volumetric house

Step by step:

Step by step:

1. The biting mouth is drawn on one (vertical) half of the sheet. The pattern is stretched along the fold line and from bottom to top.
2. The teeth hold a straight object, such as a pencil.
3. On the horizontally located part, draw a shadow cast by an object that holds its mouth.

The drawn man does not allow to fold the sheet

How to draw a 3D drawing by cells, see the video clip:

The market of additive technologies is developing so rapidly that it is not always possible to keep up with the innovations in the industry. Generations of 3D printers replace each other every year, but the principle of their work remains the same. Today, few people will be surprised by the capabilities of a desktop 3D printer, which cannot be said about a 3D drawing pen.

What is a 3D pen?

A 3D pen is a tool that can draw in the air. Magic, you might think, but no, just another technological breakthrough in the field of 3D modeling.

A gadget that is destined to forever change the idea of ​​what “drawing” is, because now you can draw not on paper, but in space!

What can you do with a 3d pen?

The scope of 3D pens is limitless. Many users mistakenly perceive the gadget as an entertainment device. Artful patterns, original figurines and decorations are just a small part of what additive pens are capable of!

A pen is sure to come in handy in everyday life. It is possible that you will need to fasten loose knots, repair damaged plastic parts, or create a prototype for scientific work.

With a device that draws plastic, nothing is impossible. With it, you will greatly simplify the prototyping process, and you can always create gifts for friends and relatives with your own hands.

Benefits of 3D Pens

Of course, a 3D printer is able to create complex shapes, exactly repeating the elements of the programmed model. But the 3D printing pen has a number of exclusive advantages. First of all, it's weight. Modern gadgets weigh from 40 grams. Even a child can easily hold them in his hand.

Small dimensions and ergonomic design allows you to take the device on business trips or on vacation. Some devices are equipped with rechargeable batteries, which makes it possible to use them away from power access points. In addition, the small size of the pen allows you to draw with it even in hard-to-reach places.

The device significantly expands the scope of fine art. If you don’t care about art, then your children will definitely like this device.

The pen will be a great toy for children. It will not only brighten up leisure and take a fresh look at modern entertainment, but also contribute to the expansion of children's horizons, the development of spatial thinking and hand motor skills.

Another argument in favor of 3D pens is the affordable price.

With similar capabilities to a desktop printer, the cost of a pen is several times less. You can buy several copies at once for your family to experience the delights of 3D printing for yourself.

3D pen is the best gift for a child

Time does not stand still, and with it the tools of fine art change. Until recently, children drew with pens, pencils and felt-tip pens. Today, there is a 3D pen for this, thanks to which you can create three-dimensional figures in real time just in the air!

If you study in more detail the advantages of this gadget, it becomes clear that it is much more useful than a game console.

By regularly using a 3D printing pen, your child will noticeably improve finger motor skills. In his hands will be a powerful tool that develops fantasy and abstract thinking.

Moreover, a tool capable of turning fantasies into reality. Your child will be able to independently create toys for himself, which will help him fulfill himself.

Safety when using 3d pen

Do not forget that a 3d pen is an electrical appliance. It works from a 220v outlet, so the safety precautions with it are the same as when working with any other power tools. It should be noted that while drawing, the end of the pen heats up to a temperature of 270 degrees, which can easily cause burns on open skin.

Therefore, it is forbidden to grab the metal or ceramic nozzle with your fingers while working with the device. Otherwise, the pen is absolutely safe. The plastic alloys used, such as ABS and PLA, are harmless and non-toxic.

It is noteworthy that cold pens with an ultraviolet emitter are battery operated, so they do not need to be connected to the mains.

In addition, they do not have hot parts, which eliminates any risk of injury. Such devices can be safely entrusted to children.

Which is better to choose?

3Doodler has pioneered the 3D drawing market. The handle supports popular ABS and PLA alloys. A standard plastic thread is used as ink, thanks to which the owner of the pen will be able to refill it with a regular filament. Together with the device there is a set of 25 threads of different colors. There are two automatic temperature settings for switching between ABS and PLA.

Users note that 3Doodler is comfortable to hold in both the left and right hand. The two-meter power cord allows you to use the pen away from the outlet. The heating time of the extruder is only 1-2 minutes. There are two modes of plastic feeding - fast and slow. The recommended running time is 2 hours.

3D YaYa followed the previous model. Unlike the American device, the Chinese device uses only ABS plastic. It is impossible to work with other alloys, since the melting temperature is not adjusted. The plastic feed speed can be adjusted. The Chinese 3D pen is designed for right-handed drawing, as the layout of the buttons makes it problematic to use in the left hand. Of the advantages of the gadget, it is worth highlighting the small size and light weight.

MyRiwell is noticeably smaller than its competitors. Moreover, it is presented in several colors. A stylish marketing product is by no means devoid of cons. The inconvenient location of the buttons and the short power supply cord make it difficult to work with it.

The plastic feed thickness is standard - 0.7 mm. Optionally, you can order a nozzle on the print head, which narrows the extruder nozzle to 0.4 mm.

The manufacturer claims that the ceramic nozzle heats up to only 70 ° C and is safe. In fact, the temperature can reach 230 °C. For drawing, ABS or PLA filament is used.

MyRiwell stands out from the rest not only by its design, but also by the presence of a smooth adjustment of the melting temperature. This is done with the help of a secret screw hidden under a rubber plug. The temperature is adjustable from 160 to 250 ° C, while no indicators are provided. Selecting the appropriate temperature regime will have to be done at random.

SPIDER PEN 3D is a technological analogue of the MyRiwell pen. The device was developed in Russia, so it will not be difficult to buy it. Unlike the Chinese relative, the domestic counterpart is devoid of problems with temperature control. It is configured automatically.

The LIX handle is currently promising projects. The device works with ABS and PLA plastic of standard diameter. The thickness of the extruder nozzle is 0.6 mm.

The warm-up time is only 60 seconds, while the weight and dimensions are far superior to the competition. In addition, the miniature device is very quiet. How it will show itself in the LIX case is still not known for certain, but the test samples have proven themselves exclusively on the positive side.

If you want a pen already and now, then you should opt for 3Doodler. This is a time-tested device that is capable of creating real masterpieces of 3D plastic modeling. Plastic feeding thickness is the lowest in the class, which ensures best quality printing in its market segment. Unpretentious in maintenance, reliable and durable device will become your faithful assistant in solving everyday problems.

3D Simo Mini is an unusual Swiss-made unit, which is characterized by versatility. It's not just a 3D pen, it's also a cutter and a soldering iron. With this device, you can burn on leather or wooden objects. As a thermal cutter, the handle is able to work with plexiglass, foam, rubber and others. similar materials. To apply 3D Simo Mini as a thermal cutter, a heated wire is used.

This pen works like a soldering iron. At the same time, it conveniently regulates the temperature ( maximum level- 490 degrees). As for control, the device can be "connected" to a smartphone. For this, there are special mobile applications for both iOS and Android.

Creopop is a 3D pen that works on the principle of cold extrusion. The photopolymer consumable comes from special cartridges, after which it hardens under the influence of ultraviolet radiation. The main advantage of the model is the absence of any wires, since the device is charged via MicroUSB. The built-in battery ensures the operation of the unit for several crafts. You can find out about the lack of charge by the indicator, which is installed on the top of the device.

Despite the fact that Creopop is relatively larger in size than similar models from other manufacturers, this gadget is lightweight. Ergonomic design and light weight make the device easy and comfortable to use. The 3D pen works in three modes:

1. Extrusion of photopolymer, due to which plastic wax takes any shape.
2. Turn on the LEDs. This mode provides fast consumable hardening.
3. Combined mode.

Not so long ago, the so-called fourth generation models (FUNTASTIQUE RP600A and FUNTASTIQUE RP800A) entered the market. In all functional parameters, these products are superior to their predecessors.

The devices look very concise and simple. Apart from the "mythical" LIX, these pens are the most compact and lightest (weighing only 40 grams). There is a display on the case, which displays the parameters of the set and operating temperature, ABS or PLA modes. The presence of the "-" and "+" buttons, as well as the slider, allow you to adjust the melting temperature of the consumable and its feed rate.

Regarding functionality. FUNTASTIQUE models boast the following useful features:

• DoubleClick (automatic material feed) - double-click on the button and the pen draws itself;
• Retract - prevents excess plastic from flowing out of the nozzle;
• maintainability: nozzle replacement is very easy to carry out.

Our review

Of course, we could not fail to do this - to try out the 3D pen in practice. We have become the happy owners of a brand new super gadget that excites the imagination and wildest dreams of a person who every Saturday watched the “crazy hands” section of the program “While everyone is at home”.

Let's get started.

The kit already has some plastic, instructions, and, in fact, the 3D pen itself. We did not unpack the plastic, as we used the ABS plastic we had from a 3D printer.

It took just a few minutes from unpacking to painting. We connect the handle and press the “forward” arrow, after which one of the indicators lights up in red, letting us know that we need to wait a little until the operating temperature is reached.

We didn’t have to wait long, about 10-30 seconds, after which the indicator gave the green light to our artistic research:
