How to draw the Loch Ness monster. The most famous pictures of the Loch Ness monster

Want to learn How to draw the Loch Ness Monster, Nessie draw with a pencil step by step, take a few simple steps.

STEP 1. First, I will show you the outline of a generic plesiosaur. You can see the hydrodynamic body, composed of a small head, long neck and compact torso, and equipped with four fins.
See also how I divided the spine into three curves from different directions. Although these curvatures have certainly changed in various positions of the animal, this is the 'rest' of the posture.
Remember that there is a wide variety of plesiosaurs (for more information, visit www.plesiosauria.com), so it's okay if you change the proportions a bit.

STEP 2. Let's get started, then. Draw a circle for the head and a curved spine (remember to reverse the direction for the neck, torso and tail segments).

Step 3 Draw a large oval for the body and a smaller one for the hips and chest area.

STEP 4. Before applying the limbs, here is a little tip:
The limbs of plesiosaurs had the same bones as many other animals, only they were arranged differently. In this case, you can see the arm (the largest bone in the humerus).
As an aid to drawing, I resumed the roll up in stick pattern.

Step 5 Draw the fins. Remember that the most likely mode of locomotion was to alternate movements between the front and rear limbs (when one is up, the other is down).

STEP 6. Adding flesh to the 'skeleton'...

STEP 7 Now when adding volume: muscular but stylized neck, powerful chest, short tail. Head relative to East. Just remember that the big eyes were placed in the mu eupper part of the skull.

Step 8. Base color.

STEP 9. Deciding which parts are lit and which remain in the dark.

Step 10. Blending! It depends on the material, for example, if you are working with crayons, you can use cotton.

STEP 11. The plesiosaurus is finished!... but there's a lake here too, right?
You can color the media on other paper, then cut and paste the plesiosaur here.

First, I made the blue degrade, the darker the blue at the bottom of the lake.

The "best" photo of the Loch Ness monster was taken by 60-year-old George Edwards - the picture has already been studied by the US military experts and recognized it as genuine . To capture the monster, the Nessie hunter has spent 60 hours a week for the past 26 years. The author of the photo believes that there are several such monsters in the lake.

"It was slowly moving up the lake towards Urquhart Castle, it was something dark gray in color. It was quite far from the boat - about half a mile," Edwards told The Sun. He did not want to publish the picture he received until he received confirmation from experts - the photo was taken back in November last year.

A photo taken by Edwards shows a strange hump sticking out of the water. The experts concluded that the image is a moving object. According to Edwards, he watched Nessie for about 10 minutes, after which it sank under the water and disappeared.

Loch Ness is a large deep freshwater lake in Scotland, stretching for 37 km southwest of Inverness.

It is curious that modern technology has repeatedly spotted the Loch Ness monster. In April, Captain Martin Atkinson said that the echo sounder on his ship found a snake-like creature one and a half meters long in the depths of the famous lake. He provided evidence of this. His shot won the "Best Recent Nessie Observation" award, established by bookmaker William Hill.

The first mention of the Loch Ness monster dates back to 565 AD, when in the biography of St. Columba, Abbot Jonah spoke about the saint's triumph over the "water beast" in the Ness River. Since then, the world has been divided into those who believed in the existence of a monster, and those who considered it impossible.

Maybe some kind of hefty fish swims there?

Well, in general, you can collect such photos of this monster on the Internet, though I won’t vouch for the authenticity :-)

Researchers and enthusiasts from all over the world have long been tormented by the question: does the Loch Ness monster exist? Even sophisticated modern technology cannot give an exact answer. The existence of Nessie, living in the waters of Loch Ness, was officially announced in 1933. The British newspaper The Telegraph has collected the most famous photographs of the legendary monster.

At the end of 2013, two residents of the UK on satellite maps from Apple, a mysterious silhouette about 30 meters long on the surface of Loch Ness. For six months, experts studied the image and came to the conclusion that the object could well belong to the legendary monster.

In the summer of 2009, a resident of the UK said that while viewing satellite photographs on the Google Earth website, he saw the creature he was looking for. The photograph of the service really shows something that vaguely resembles a large marine animal with two pairs of flippers and a tail. However, it is possible that the satellite could capture an ordinary boat leaving a foam trail.

In May 2007, 55-year-old Englishman Gordon Holmes claimed he had strong evidence for the existence of the Loch Ness monster. The researcher decided to place microphones in the lake and study the sound signals coming from the depths. Near the western shore, he noticed movement in the water and immediately turned on the video camera, which recorded the movement of a long dark object under water, heading towards the northern part of the lake. The creature's body remained mostly underwater, but its head popped up from time to time, leaving a trail of foam in its wake.

Experts who examined the film confirmed its authenticity and concluded that a creature about 15 meters long was moving at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour. However, Holmes' footage is not considered conclusive evidence for the existence of a prehistoric monster in the lake. There were opinions that it could be a giant snake or a worm, a light illusion or a log set in motion by an internal current.

A photograph of the alleged monster taken in 2005.

And this photo of 1977 as a result turned out to be an ordinary fake. One Anthony Shiels claimed to have taken the photograph while walking near Yorkhart Castle.

In this underwater photograph taken in 1972 by members of an expedition led by Dr. Robert Reines, a creature resembling a plesiosaur is shown.

In this image, also taken in 1972, the monster seems to be moving to the right, showing a wide-open mouth and a powerful back.

Former Army Captain Frank Searle arrived at Loch Ness in the early 1970s. Going to find a mysterious creature, he took a huge number of photographs of Nessie, many of which were widely disseminated by the media. However, they all turned out to be fakes.

In July 1955, Erscher banker Peter McNab photographed what appeared to be a huge, dark creature in the bay at Yorkhart Castle, cutting through the surface of the lake.

In 1951, Lachlan Stewart photographed some strange elevations above the water. Later it turns out that these hills were actually tufts of grass floating on the surface of the lake.

And this is perhaps the most famous picture of Nessie. London colonel and physician Robert Wilson took this photograph in April 1934. The author claimed to have photographed the monster by accident while traveling around the area birdwatching. Only in 1994 was it established that this picture was a fake made by Wilson and three accomplices.

The first known photograph of the Loch Ness Monster was taken on November 12, 1933 by Hugh Gray.

Loch Ness (literally Nose Lake) is located in the north-east of Scotland in the county of Inverness. The area of ​​the lake is about 60 square kilometers, and the maximum depth reaches 230 meters. The water in the lake, curiously, does not freeze even in the coldest winter. And the living creatures that live in its depths are striking in their abundance and diversity. Scottish folklore is replete with centuries-old legends about the monster that lives in the lake.
