For a beautiful and natural transfer on paper of the appearance of a snail, it is necessary to adhere to a phased drawing.
So you can step by step to move on to other parts of the picture, in order to ultimately achieve a complete resemblance to a real snail.
Necessary materials:
- colored pencils in yellow, brown and orange tones;
- simple pencil;
- black marker with a thin rod;
- paper;
- eraser.
Stages of drawing a snail:
- We begin to draw a clam from a figure in the form of a drop. It will contain the head and legs.
- Now, on top of the first figure on the right side, draw a shell. At this stage, all curls should not be drawn. Just mark its general shape and the outer contour, where its base and the beginning of the curl will be visible.
- But already at this stage, you can draw a curl in the form of a spiral, which will pass through the center of the shell.
- On the first shape, which is teardrop shaped, draw two long diagonal lines on the left side and circles at each end. These will be the eyes of the snail. Also, just below, draw two more short vertical lines. Draw an arched line to the lower part of the teardrop-shaped body.
- We remove the lower part of the line of the drop-shaped figure with an eraser and connect the upper one with the arched one. This is the body that will be in the snail.
- On the entire surface of the shell we draw arcuate lines. We make a small distance between them.
- A phased drawing of a snail in pencil form is ready. Therefore, you can safely pick up a black marker or felt-tip pen and circle all the lines with the selected material. Then, over the entire surface of the shell, we create the effect of volume and texture using lines. They should completely repeat the shape of the curls on the shell. It will also be good after that to give the texture of the body of the snail with small lines and dots.
- We turn to the transfer of shades in the picture of the mollusk. First, take a light brown pencil and completely paint over the snail shell with all its curls.
- With a burgundy pencil, we add volume to the shell on both sides of the curls over the entire surface of the shell.
- With a yellow and orange pencil, decorate the head and legs of the mollusk. We also color the eyes with a yellow pencil.
Drawing with colored pencils in the form of such a mollusk as a snail is ready!
Snails are one of the most interesting insects. At the same time, absolutely everyone can understand how to draw a snail, because in this, in fact, there is absolutely nothing complicated. In order to clearly explain how to draw a snail to a child, it is worth showing him this insect itself or photographs in which it is depicted. This will help the baby remember the structural features of the snail.
Before you draw a snail with a pencil in stages, you need to prepare:
1). Black handle;
2). Pencil;
3). Eraser;
4). multi-colored pencils;
5). Sheet of paper.
After all those stationery items that are listed just above are prepared, you can proceed to figure out how to draw a snail:
1. Schematically draw the body of the snail and the outlines of its house;
2. Draw the body of the insect. To draw a snail with a pencil, you must know the features of its structure, otherwise the drawing will turn out to be unrealistic. For example, it is necessary to depict a pair of antennae, as well as a couple of antennas. The edges of the body of the snail should be slightly uneven;
3. Now draw the snail's house, dividing it into separate sections;
4. Depict the surface on which the insect is crawling;
5. Outline the image with a pen. Clarify some details, such as the cells on her body and the stripes on the house;
6. After letting the drawing dry a little, erase the preliminary sketch with an eraser;
7. Of course, you can draw a snail in stages with the most ordinary pencil or pen. But the drawing will look more complete if it is still painted. For this purpose, it is not at all necessary to use colored pencils, because almost any paint will work well. For example, if you use watercolor for coloring, the drawing will turn out to be very delicate and at the same time quite realistic. Color the body of the snail completely with a light brown pencil. Then shade it a little with a red-brown tint. Then, in black tone, draw the cells on the body of the insect;
8. Shade the space under the snail with a dark blue tint. And then paint over the surface on which this insect is crawling with a light green pencil;
9. Color the snail's house. To do this, use colored pencils of various shades, ranging from brown and gray colors, and ending with green, blue and purple tones.
Now the snail drawing is completely ready! Having learned to draw this insect, you can teach this to your child!
Complexity:(3 out of 5).
Age: from the age of four.
Materials: a sheet of thick paper, wax crayons, a simple pencil, an eraser, watercolor, a large brush, a palette.
Purpose of the lesson: we draw a snail, applying our skills acquired earlier. Learning to draw spirals. We develop mindfulness and perseverance.
Drawing Lesson Materials
The most difficult thing in a snail will be drawing its house. It reminds us of a spiral. The difficulty lies in the fact that each subsequent turn would be at an approximately equal distance. To do this, the baby can practice by tracing the spirals over the points. See attachments for assignments.
Let's start drawing our snail from its house. We take a simple pencil, put a dot in the middle of the sheet and twist the spiral from the center.
The next step is to draw the snail itself. Eyes nose and antennae.
We take wax crayons, let the kid determine the colors. What kind of snail will he have? We decorate the little body and, attention, draw only the contour of the house and the spiral with colored chalk.
Berm watercolor and dilute the colors you like for the shell with plenty of water. To do this, use a large brush. The paint should turn out to be watery, so that when we painted the snail's house, the water rolled off the contour. If extra droplets have formed on the contour, then we remove them with a napkin, lightly dabbing.
Looking at funny little snails is one of the favorite pastimes of our childhood. And although snails are known for their slowness and slowness, drawing them is very interesting. So, let's figure out how to draw a snail. Consider two options: realistic and animated.
Draw a realistic snail in pencil technique
This step-by-step instruction will be very useful for those who want to make a realistic pencil drawing of a snail. It's not scary if you have no experience in drawing - a detailed description will allow even a beginner to cope with this task.
Let's start with general forms. The snail shell is close to a circle in shape - let's draw it.
Now you need to make a blank for the head and refine the shape of the shell a little.
Let's draw the body of the snail. It should be elongated, like a small sausage. You also need to make auxiliary lines for the "horns" - or, to be more precise, the eyes and tentacles.
Let's make the "horns" voluminous, with small balls at the end.
Now let's take a look at the sink. We draw inside the general form a spiral going from the edge to the center.
Everything, the contours are done. Before you start hatching, you must carefully remove all auxiliary lines and shapes from the sketch.
We shade very easily, marking the shadow areas. At the same time, we must not forget about the structure of the shell - it has transverse stripes, which also need to be marked with hatching.
The body also needs to be shaded.
Everything, a pencil drawing of a snail is ready.
How to draw a snail in cartoon style
Realistic drawings look very nice and professional, but drawing cute cartoon animals has its own charms. In addition, even a child will be able to depict them.
Let's start, again, with a blank circle. This is the future shell.
Now let's add the head, torso and eyes. You can add another smiling mouth and outline the cheeks.
Then we will make a curl on the sink - it will converge in a spiral towards the center of the circle.
Let's draw transverse lines on the shell of our snail. And also freckles.
For expressiveness, we will carefully guide the contours with a marker.
And then - one more time.
At this stage, our funny smiling snail is completely ready. If desired, it can be additionally painted - so the picture will look brighter. Those who like to learn by video will be interested in this lesson.
Good evening! Today we have prepared for you another drawing lesson with a simple pencil for beginners. We will draw a cute snail, which you can see on the preview. We specifically chose the cartoon style, as it will allow you to work and get a quality drawing, even for those who are taking their first steps in the art world. Let's begin!
Step 1
We start drawing with a regular circle, which will later become the shell of our snail. As you can see, it is located much to the right of the conditional center of our sheet.
Step 2
We draw a figure similar to a drop of water, which is located horizontally.
Step 3
Now let's outline the lower turning edges of the shell. The border is formed by two smooth parallel lines for the most part long, which connect to our right and form a curl. Here we draw horns. By the way, cartoonishly drawn "horns" are actually tentacles - special sense organs of snails.
Step 4
We draw a spiral on the shell, as in our sample. We also draw a pair of round eyes. An important point is the pupils, they show the direction of the snail's gaze, pay attention to their location.
Step 5
Erase extra guide lines from the shell and body of the snail. On the shell, draw smooth curved transverse lines, focusing on the spiral. We paint over the eyes, leaving space for white highlights. Draw the mouth, which looks like two perpendicular lines, short and long.
Step 6
In general, the snail is ready. It remains to apply a little shadow (just shade the edge of the shell, the lower part of the body and the space between these two areas with a sweeping hatching. Also, do not forget to slightly shade the surface on which our snail crawls.
The drawing lesson on how to draw a snail step by step is completed. In general, it was very easy. Next, we will make the drawing lessons a little more difficult. But if you want something simpler, you can always look into . Now we say goodbye, all the best and see you again!
