Emoticons have long entered the sphere of our communication as a way of expressing our emotions. We put emoticons in in social networks, send them to SMS and so on. What is an emoticon? It's a yellow circle with eyes and a smile. If you suddenly need to draw it, then we offer you instructions explaining how to draw a smiley.
How to draw a smiley
- First, draw a circle of the size you need.
- Then we draw two auxiliary lines that define the level of the eyes and mouth.
- We draw the eyes along the lines outlined in advance. How to draw a beautiful smiley? The expression of the eyes and mouth of your drawing will determine how it will be: sad, cheerful, or even angry. The eyes can be round, with a pupil in the middle, or crosses are sometimes put instead of eyes, such a smiley will be more schematic. Eyelashes can be drawn on the eyes. In general, all envy from your imagination.
- The mouth is usually drawn in the form of an arc - a smile. But you can also make a sad expression, then the smile will need to be reversed.
- Don't forget to erase the guide lines.
- Now add color: paint over the smiley yellow, eyes and mouth are also painted in the appropriate colors.
As you can see, drawing a smiley is quite simple, but despite the simplicity of the drawing, you can add something of yourself to it, such as the expression of the eyes or mouth. It all depends on your imagination. Computer emoticons are faceless and of the same type, and emoticons drawn in pencil carry a piece of the artist's soul. So draw well.
This is an average lesson. It can be difficult for adults to repeat this lesson, so I don’t recommend drawing a smiley for this lesson for young children, but if you have a great desire, then you can try. I also want to note the lesson "" - be sure to try to repeat it if you have time and desire to draw today.
What you need
In order to draw a smiley, we may need:
- Graphic editor GIMP. You need to download the free GIMP and install it.
- Download brushes for GIMP, they may come in handy.
- Some add-ons may be needed (instructions on how to install them).
- A little patience.
- Good mood.
Step by step lesson
Drawing characters from movies, cartoons and stories is much easier than drawing real people and animals. There is no need to adhere to the rules of anatomy and physics, but each character is unique in its own way. The authors created them according to special patterns, which must be repeated accurately enough. But if you want, when you draw a smiley, you can always make the eyes a little bigger. This will make it more cartoony.
By the way, in addition to this lesson, I advise you to turn your attention to the lesson "". It will help improve your mastery or just give you a little pleasure.
Tip: do it different actions on different layers. The more layers you make, the easier it will be for you to manage the drawing. So the sketch can be done on the bottom layer, and the white version on the top, and when the sketch is not needed, you can simply turn off the visibility of this layer.
When completing the lesson, please note that due to differences in program versions, some menu items and tools may be called differently or not at all. This might make the tutorial a little difficult to follow, but I think you can do it.
First, create a new 200x200px image with a white background fill.
Now using the elliptical selection tool create a circle on the canvas. For the circle to be correct form you need to hold down the Shift button. Create a new layer and fill the selection with brown or dark yellow.
Go to "Selection - Reduce" and reduce the selection by 2-3 pixels. The resulting selection should be filled with a gradient. For this, I chose the "Yellow Orange" gradient. In the gradient tool settings, make sure that the shape is linear, the opacity is 100%, and the blending mode is normal. Create a new layer and fill the selection with a gradient.
Go to "Select - Reduce" and reduce the selection by another 7-9 pixels. Change the foreground color to white and in the gradient settings select the Foreground to Transparent gradient. Create a new layer and fill the selection with a gradient.
Now you need to draw a smiley. To do this, we need to create a new oval selection inside our circle. Create a new layer and fill the selection with the same color as the first circle.
Go to "Selection - Reduce" and reduce the selection by 2-3 pixels. Create a new layer and fill it with white.
Reduce the selection by 1-2 pixels, change the foreground color to black, create a new layer and fill the selection with a gradient. After that, you need to set the opacity of the black gradient layer to 10-20%.
If the result satisfies you, then merge the three layers of the eyes together. Duplicate the resulting layer and use the Mirror tool to reflect it horizontally.
Even emoticons don't have eyes without pupils. To make the pupils you need to create a round selection inside the eyes, create a new layer and fill the selection with black.
Reduce the selection by 1-2 pixels, change the foreground color to white and fill the selection with a gradient.
Duplicate the resulting layer and use the Mirror tool to reflect it horizontally.
To draw the mouth of the smiley, create an oval selection below the eyes, create a new layer and fill the selection. in gray. I used the color #080808. Without removing the selection, you need to pass a soft translucent brush with black foreground color along the top of the oval, and white - along the bottom. After all the steps you need to align the mouth in the center.
I drew the smiley's eyebrows with the Paths tool. When I got the desired shape, I pressed the "Select from Text" button in the tool settings window. You need to create a new layer and fill it with black. To add volume, I painted over the top of the selection with a semi-transparent soft brush with white foreground color.
Now you need to make a copy of this layer and use the Mirror tool to reflect it horizontally.
If you want to create small emoticons, I advise you to immediately make them the right size, because Gimp's scaling algorithms leave much to be desired. I was able to reduce my emoticon to a size of 40x40px, and after reducing it, I had to apply “Filters - Enhance - Sharpen” to it with a parameter of 40.
Step 1
Create new file size 50x50 px, with Mode RGB Color and transparent background. Name the layer outline(Circuit).
Choose a color #565656 .
Zoom in on the image to 1600%. Take pencil tool 1px and swipe horizontal line 5px long. Next, scroll down and move 1px to the right. Draw a line 2px long. And so on, according to the instructions in the figure:
Step 2
Create a new layer. name it Fill(Fill). Now let's color the smiley.
Take the color #A1A1A1 and paint over those points that are shown in the figure:
Now #C2C2C2:
#D2D2D2:
#D8D8D8:
#DEDEDE:
#E7E7E7:
And finally #F0F0F0:
Step 3
Create a new layer and name it left hand(left hand).
Take the color #565656 and draw a 2px horizontal line on it. Do everything as shown in the picture:
On the same layer, paint over the top left corner with #E7E7E7. Then color #D2D2D2 paint over the upper right corner and the lower left. For lower right corner - color #AEAEAE:
Duplicate the layer left hand and name it right hand (Right hand). Use MoveTool (V) and move the layer to the right:
Merge layers outline And Fill. Name the new layer Body(Body):
Step 4
Create a layer folder expressions(Facial expressions). Our emoticon will have two facial expressions: open eyes and closed eyes (blinking).
Create a layer in the folder open eyes (open eyes) and on this background color #565656 draw the eyes as shown in the image (3px high and 2px between the eyes):
In the same folder create a layer closed eyes (Closed eyes). Turn off the layer open eyes and paint with color #565656 a 6px horizontal line:
Step 5
If you want to change the color go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation (Ctrl, U). Check the box colorize and change Hue and Saturation. Save the result.
Do the same with other layers by clicking on the Load button:
Part 2. Animation
Step 6
Go to Adobe Image Ready(Ctrl, Shift, M) (animation in Photoshop CS3 and higher: Window > Animation).
Step 7
If you want to make a smooth animation, say just a hand movement, change the position of the hand by 1px on each subsequent frame:
The same can be done with the eyes, body, etc.
If you are too lazy to deal with the detailed study of movement, change the position of the body part on each frame by more than 1px.
Step 8
Make sure you have blinking eyes on your emoji. To do this, you first need to make the layer visible. open eyes, and then closed eyes. It should turn out something like this.
Effects used: Three-dimensional image - Shape3D
Bevel Selection - Bevel Selection
Step 1: Draw a Background for a Fun 3D Smiley Face in Paint.NET
Create a square image, for example, 400 by 400 pixels. Leave the background layer white. Create another transparent layer and fill it with a gradient (Paint.NET tool Gradient) of two colors. We used tangerine as the main color. ff8800, and as an additional - golden ffd700. Gradient directly from the top left corner of the image to the bottom right corner. You will get something like the image on the left.
Step 2: Draw the eyes and smile of a funny 3D emoticon in Paint.NET
Let's create a new transparent layer. If the new layer is not at the very top, but below the background layer, move it to the top. We will need this new layer later in order to make it easier to give volume to the eyes and smile of the smiley. Now on this new layer, using the Paint.NET tool, draw a line or curve for the eyes and mouth of the future smiley using the Line tool, with black color and a thickness of 4
Since our emoticon will in the future be a ball, like a ping-pong ball, it would be effective to make the eye stripes and smiles indented or bulging. To do this, we need to select on the top layer, on which we just painted the eyes and smile, the entire empty area. It is easy to do this now with the help of the Paint.NET tool Magic wand. It would be much more difficult to do this if we did not draw the eyes on a separate layer. Applicable to the selected empty area additional effect for Paint.NET Processing the edge of the selected area - Bevel Selection, the description of which is on our website. For simplicity, we have used the default effect parameters, except for complementary color, we made it gray, not white. However, you can change other parameters as well, and perhaps your smiley will turn out to be prettier than ours. We removed the frame around the image resulting from the effect, although in the future this frame should be in an invisible area, so in principle, it was possible not to do this.
First, draw a circle. If you want smoother, this can be done with a compass.
draw another smaller circle
draw an oval. this will be the eye
draw the second eye
draw a smiling mouth
draw two lines
draw the corners of the mouth
connect all lines
should be such a smile
if you color it, you get such a smiley
It's probably very easy to draw a smiley face with pencils step by step.
To do this, at the beginning we take pencils, white paper and perhaps there is no need for a scheme)
At the beginning we draw the eyes of a smiley, then we draw a smile and that's it)
You can also draw another smiley. To do this, draw one eye, then draw the other eye as a comma, then draw a smile and a nose) we get a smiley that jinxes.
You can draw a smiley like this: first a sketch, then the details of the smiley drawing (round shape, eyes and facial expressions).
Also, step-by-step video instructions for drawing a smiley face will help you make the image right.
Emoticons are different. And if the author did not write his wishes. then I'll offer my solution. Let's draw a cool pepper). I really like this smiley. Such a courageous, charismatic)). draw. We need to take something round. For example, we can take a glass as a basis. We put it on paper and circle with a simple pencil. We have a preparation. Now, we need to outline the eyes, mouth in a circle. But the mouth is not simple, we will have it with a Hollywood smile. so, we draw the eyes with glasses, so they will not be visible. Draw two small circles and draw a darling between them. Next, draw a mouth with teeth. Let the mouth smile). Now we draw the handles. More precisely, we draw gloves, because the smiley has no handles themselves. Gloves can be depicted simply. Imagine your hand in gloves - there are no special outlines. Just draw one finger, second, third and fourth. For some reason, it is customary to depict a smiley with 4 fingers, let it be so with us. In the same way we draw the second glove. Coloring. That's all.
P.S. Almost forgot about the eyebrows. Let's represent them with an arc, for example.
And in order to at least bring spring and the sun closer, we can draw such a smiley.
Draw a circle again funny face and most importantly, draw the rays).
Draw a smiley face with a pencil presents no particular difficulty. Emoticons are basically round. There are just a huge number of emoticons today. Here you need to stretch your imagination a little. Draw the eyes, you can add small handles. Draw a smile and that's it. Although there are sad emoticons. Now you can color in yellow.
Smiley pictures are completely different. It’s not at all difficult to draw them, mostly emoticons are round and with a smile, since the word emoticon in translation from English is a smile. Let's draw a smiley here according to such a simple scheme
Good afternoon. As you know, there are a lot of emoticons, so the types of drawings can also be a large number of. Here is an example of such emoticons:
Sign one is a circle, and inside, depending on the type of emotion that we want to show, we draw different eyes and lips. For example, a smile is big eyes and smiling mouth.
Very simple. First, draw a circle, and then, with a line of proportion, separate about a third so that you can place your eyes on it, as you will see in the picture.
Everything else, in practice, is a matter of technique, since the emoticon has both eyes and mouth, in fact, if you look closely, they are semi-ovals, which you need to practice, display with high quality.
Otherwise, one dash to complete the mouth and two filled small semicircles for the pupils of the eyes, and we have a smiley.
The main line of proportion, draw with a pencil and not bold, so that later you can carefully wipe it with an elastic band and it visually would not spoil the drawing.
