The article will tell you about how easy it is to draw a winter landscape on your own.
Drawings depicting winter landscapes have a special attractive magic: you want to look at them and hang them on the wall in a recreation area (hall, bedroom, office). Images of snow-covered trees and roofs of houses instill in the human soul a sense of comfort and tenderness, fairy tales and magic, which is present at New Year's time.
Drawing winter landscapes is not difficult. Main - choose the right paper and colors. Approximately 50% of the success of the entire work depends on the selected paper. When drawing with paints, you will need thick cardboard from the Kraft category. You can also use colored matte cardboard, for example, blue or black, on which white paint, pastels and pencils look particularly contrasting.
Thinking about what you can draw in a winter landscape, the first thing that comes to mind is a house. The house has been present in the human mind since childhood, since the first time a child sees a fairy tale about Morozko or forest animals. It doesn’t matter what kind of house you represent, the main thing is to draw it correctly.
We suggest you depict a cozy forest house:
- Choose a perspective, i.e. approximate location of the house on a piece of paper.
- It is best if the house is in the center of your image, or not far from the center. So it will attract attention and be the main storyline.
- You can use a ruler to draw an even and proportional house with a roof, but then be sure to trace the house template by hand so that the drawing does not look angular.
- After you draw the main lines: walls, roof, windows, threshold, etc., proceed to detailing.
- Do not rush to draw snow. Only when the house is completely drawn, with the help of white paint or chalk, literally “cover” the house with a “snow cap”. If you draw only with a simple pencil, an eraser will come in handy.
Step by step drawing:
House in the forest: drawing in stages 
House, winter landscape: step one "basic lines" 
Once the main lines are drawn, sketch snow on all surfaces. 
Start detailing the drawing, depict nature: trees, Christmas trees, paths and other little things 
Erase extra lines with an eraser 
Start coloring the picture with paints

Winter is in the yard - according to the drawing of the topic, everything is about winter sports and about the New Year. Of course, many drawing competitions on a winter theme have been announced.
If you read the school programs on the "iso" of the seventies of the last century, then there is completely: "May Day demonstration", "Demonstration on November 7", "Subbotnik" ... Somehow it's even wild to remember. You read and think: what were the forced-patriotic topics before, it’s good at least now they don’t torment children with this.
However, the current topics, in fact, differ little from those - they are just as imposed, invented by adults and have the same artificially peppy flavor. The theme "Winter fun for children" is no exception. By themselves, neither kindergarteners nor schoolchildren would ever think of capturing their impressions of the winter games on paper. I say this to prevent pink bubbles and tender exclamations about the fact that cute crumbs love to draw winter so much! Yes, they love it if you press hard and force it.
But - closer to the point. We as teachers SHOULD participate in competitions. There is a problem - it is necessary to solve it. Children practically cannot draw a human figure in motion and have no experience of observation. I myself, too, have not had this experience of watching children play. I can draw winter fun by imagination, but it will turn out artificially. Because you have to draw from nature! However, it is weak for me to go with an easel to the playground in winter. Then - according to the photo. It wasn’t there - neither adults nor children are eager to get into the lens of a stranger. So, we are looking for photos on the Internet.
Here is a great picture: the girl swung hard, about to throw a snowball. It is clear that she is posing. But even such a staged pose is incomparably better than the legions of little men in caps with pom-poms playing snowballs at attention in ordinary children's drawings.
We draw. You need to start with ... what?
ONLY NOT WITH DETAILS!
We start with a diagram to understand the pose and proportions of the figure. The body is tilted and slightly tilted back. Snowball in right hand. This is important, because children, without hesitation, draw snow fights between a right-handed team and a left-handed team, just to make it convenient to draw. But it is necessary to portray how convenient it is to PLAY!
We continue. The arm with the snowball is bent at the elbow, the snowball is slightly wound behind the head. The girl holds it at face level. The second hand is thrown forward picturesquely - for balance. The legs are spaced approximately shoulder-width apart. The support is right, the weight will be transferred to the left after the throw, and now it is freely set forward.
The girl is still small, the body proportions are childish - a relatively large body, arms and legs are still quite short, her head is large, her face is turned in the direction where the girl is rushing. Yes, this is also important - the direction of the gaze and the turn of the face, please, just do not look at the camera!
Let's draw a diagram of this movement, a front view and a back view.
Note that this is not just a mirror image. The figure, turned back to the viewer, also swings his right hand.
..................................................................................................................................
Well, and another picture - teenagers are playing snowballs.
Here the movements are already much more complicated, the dynamics are greater. Look, the picture is useful for understanding that when playing snowballs, people bend over for snow and to avoid getting hit by snowballs.
We continue the theme Draw winter fun for children».
What do we know winter fun? I ask students. The people, crowded behind their desks, are trying to remember something in the subject.
Here I most of all like to watch how children just play in the snow. Without any there sledge-blades. They just throw the crumbling snow, jump into the snowdrifts, and then, lying on their backs, kick their legs to shake the snow out of the boots or just lie in the snow for fun. And you can also lie on your back, clap your hands to the sides and you will get an imprint like wings.
When I tell this to the students directly, their eyes begin to shine, and it’s no wonder, sit for six lessons in the classroom.
So the idea with a child lying for pampering in the snow is excellent, but, alas, very difficult to implement.
In general, drawing a lying figure of a person (even on the side, even on the back) is very difficult, I assure you. And if it’s from a perspective, but taking into account the perspective ... And if not from a perspective and without perspective? - But no, it simply won’t work. My students smile and draw a picture like this:
But you are depicting a view from above, - I say, - if this figure is inserted into the picture, then there will be a clear impression that the child is simply standing on one leg. We also need to draw a lying person from a NORMAL point of view.
Anyway, let's draw. I found a photo on the Internet - a child lies in the snow with his feet towards us and his head diagonally into the distance.
In perspective, it looks like the feet in the foreground look large and the legs themselves are long. The head is relatively small. Hands scattered to the sides look completely shortened. By the way, I also note that the complexity and strangeness of the appearance of a figure lying in the snow is also given by the snow itself - the body is partially immersed in it. This must also be taken into account.
The scheme of the figure was drawn up, now we are specifying the details. The leg, filed straight at the viewer, looks thick, and it is greatly reduced. The second one looks much thinner, and even the snow is almost knee-deep))). The body is quite massive, and the arms are small and thin in perspective.
Well, what can I say, from nature it is necessary to draw such plots. And so, sitting at a desk, you can’t model it in your mind - I’m answering you.
