In order, all the planets will be called by any of us:
One is Mercury, two is Venus, three is Earth, four is Mars.
Five is Jupiter, six is ​​Saturn, seven is Uranus, followed by Neptune.
He is eighth in a row. And after him already, then,
And a ninth planet called Pluto.

Flying in space
Steel ship around the Earth.
And though its windows are small,
Everything is visible in them at a glance:
Steppe expanse, sea surf,
Or maybe you and me!

Practical work No. 1: "Deep Space"


For drawing space landscape we need stencils of circles of various diameters. You can use special rulers or various "improvised tools".


We draw several planets with wax crayons, placing them arbitrarily on the plane of the sheet. You can apply the technique of superimposing the near planets on the planets, or depict one of the planets only partially.


After creating a space composition, we crumple a sheet of paper, twisting it several times, and gently straighten it


Coloring the planets. So that the planets do not look like grandmother's balls with threads, we draw very carefully with crayons, do not go beyond the edges.
Before we start working in color, we remember how forests, mountains, deserts and oceans look from space, we think about whether all planets can look the same? Fiery and foggy, sandy, gaseous and icy - they can look absolutely fantastic. Coming up with complex color combinations.


We cover the entire sheet with black watercolor. Paint, accumulating in cracks, creates a mysterious depth of outer space.

Practical work No. 2: "Exit to open space"



For this work, we need a figurine of an astronaut in a spacesuit, circles of various diameters and a silhouette of a rocket.



All figures are placed on the sheet in random order. We start with a rocket and an astronaut. Then add the planets.



Inside the silhouettes we delimit the planes. We add portholes on the rocket, we divide the spacesuit into separate parts. We begin to color the rocket, the astronaut and the planets in stages. In order to create a festive atmosphere, we take bright, juicy colors.




Adding stars. We take yellow and white crayons. We place them small groups, in the form of constellations, or line up, (like the milky way). Each star is a distant, distant sun, around which planets can revolve and there can be life on them.


We take a brush and black paint (watercolor or gouache) and begin to paint over the entire work. First we draw lines along the edge of the sheet, then we work along the entire sheet.



While the paint is not dry, we “salt” the drawing. In the place where a grain of salt has fallen, the paint seems to collect, and with the help of this technique, the cosmos again becomes deep and mysterious.


Children's work (5-6 years old)





Pattern options
Flying saucers (UFOs) can be very diverse. Turning on fantasy, depict aircrafts aliens.

    I propose to draw space in watercolor as shown in this video:

    Drawing steps:

    1) First, we begin to distribute different colors of paints with a lot of water - the main colors are blue, red purple, yellow;

    2) Having covered the entire surface of the sheet, wait until it dries and begin to cover again from above;

    3) I will create as many shades as possible;

    4) We drive in some places with a pen directly over wet paints so that the paint spreads beautifully;

    5) We make a small scattering with white paint and a brush.

    The video will help you understand everything.

    Here's another amazing video:

    Here are some more watercolors:

    This is how you can paint space with watercolor.

    Anyone can paint space with watercolors, it doesn’t have to be an artist. Everyone imagines space in their own way and you can convey your imagination to a sheet of whatman paper with the help of a brush and paints.

    Alex moisten a sheet of paper with water with a brush and apply dark blue paint for the entire sheet. The paint will not lay down quite evenly, but this is good. Let it dry a little, but not completely, now add other colors: yellow, red and mix these two paints together. Let it be vague, do not need clear contours.

    When it dries, add white paint, shaking the brush, apply our star dust. Let's dry again and draw the planets, for this we take dark paint and draw a ball, you can depict other planets by adding rings to them.

    For the drawing, we need watercolor paints, gouache, pile brushes, a palette, napkins and a sponge and watercolor paper.

    Initially, you need to moisten the sheet with water. You can place it gently under a tap with water, or take a larger brush and distribute water with it so that the sheet becomes glossy.

    Water, and then paint, will flow in a stream. You will most likely get dirty.

    While the sheet is not dry, lay it down and apply the paint as quickly as possible. You shouldn't really mix colors, because this is the future space, so there can be a lot of things there.

    First of all, apply transparent shades, such as pink, blue, yellow, green and orange. Place them in the center of the sheet - they blend very nicely.

    The main thing is to apply the paint quickly so that the sheet does not have time to dry, otherwise the drawing will not work.

    Now you need to use a synthetic brush and white gouache. Above our drawing, we draw a finger along the pile - splashes will fly, and not only on the leaf, but also on you. The part where it is lighter, we splash more, and where it is darker, less.

    As a result, we will get such a wonderful drawing of the cosmos.

    Each one will present space picture in his own way. This is what the image might look like.

    This is how it is drawn in the country of masters.

    Here is a video on how to draw space and stars with watercolors. As you can see, you can use not only the watercolor paint itself and brushes, but also make templates to form the planets. You can use a used toothbrush and sprinkle stars on it.

    In order to draw space in watercolor, you must clearly draw up a sketch in your head or use a finished photograph (picture) for sketching. This is required in order not to be mistaken, since it is impossible to correct the watercolor, it is impossible to paint over it, at least to make it look neat.

    On a landscape sheet, sketch out the planets (comets, milky way and other space objects), but do not press hard on the pencil, as it may subsequently shine through the paint.

    Now decide on the background color, it is not necessary that it be black, use other colors, but preferably a combination of several. And now start coloring space objects to make them seem more alive, you need to add highlights to them using white watercolor.

    Stars can be depicted as blurry dots. And in space itself, you can draw not only known space objects, but also spaceships, UFOs and even aliens.

    If you decide to draw space, then for starters, you can draw different zones on a piece of paper with different colors characteristic of space (dark blue, black purple, dark crimson, etc.).

    Wait for the drawing to dry and apply a few sprays white color.

    I also offer another version of the image of space.

    You can draw space with watercolor using just a few colors - 3 or 4 colors. The paper is thick.


  • Take black paint, a large brush and smear the paint on paper. Then use a small brush to put white dots and balls in different colors. You can draw a nebula. To do this, with a slightly transparent layer in gray apply paint to the area where you want.

    It takes a lot of creativity to draw space.

    You can use a ready-made idea, or come up with your own plot of the picture. After all, space can be completely different and, perhaps, even fictional.

    Below is one of the options for depicting space with planets and even a rocket.

Outer space is relatively empty areas of the universe that lie outside the boundaries of the atmospheres of celestial bodies. This step-by-step master class is suitable for beginners. lower grades and older.

Drawing space is very interesting activity. So you can tell and show the child that besides the Earth there are other planets, comets, asteroids.

Necessary materials:

  • simple pencil;
  • a set of colored pencils;
  • black marker or marker.

Space drawing steps:

1. All solar system It consists of the Sun, around which 8 planets revolve. So first we need to draw a big circle.



3. On each line you will need to draw one planet. Each planet has its own size and features. For example, Saturn is in the sixth position from the Sun, and it has a ring system. Uranus also has rings. There are 30 of them in total. Also, let's draw a comet and an asteroid field between the fourth and fifth planets. Behind the last planet we depict asteroids. They are called the Kuiper field.


4. Outline each element in the figure with a black marker.


5. We have drawn the main elements of space, so we are starting to color it. First of all, we will give color to the Sun, which needs yellow and orange shades.

Then, in order, we move on to other planets and color them with the same pencils. We will also apply strokes with an orange pencil to some planets. But the rings of Saturn will be painted with a brown pencil.


6. Now let's move on to other planets. We color them with blue pencils and blue flowers. These are Uranus and Neptune. But our planet has distinguished itself from others, because it contains various shades - yellow, blue, and green. We will shade the belts with asteroids with brown tones.


7. Now let's color the space and the whole space.


8. On this drawing of the cosmos is completely finished. Of course, many other details can be drawn here, but let's leave it to our imagination to dream and feel the whole mystery of the Universe.


Or oil paints, will help to understand the method of comparing the above materials. Gouache is easier to apply. It allows you to correct drawing imperfections and mix colors easily. Oil paints require more experience and professionalism. They are the hardest to work with. Certain skills are also required to depict a watercolor painting. You need to specifically know and understand how to draw space in watercolor, where and what will be located in the picture, since it is almost impossible to correct the flaws. Therefore, many beginners prefer gouache.

Watercolor created for works more than professional level. Although it is also used for teaching in schools.

Basic principles

To depict space with paints or a pencil, you need to prepare:

  1. Take paper, paint or pencil.
  2. Try to immediately decide what will be shown in the picture.
  3. First you need to draw the background.
  4. Next, you need to depict space objects.
  5. Add the necessary effects.

How to draw space with paints?

Let's try to answer the question: "How to draw space with paints in stages?" Beginning artists will need some free time and imagination. Taking paper, paints and brushes, we get to work.

There are many recommendations on how to draw space with paints in stages. Let's stop at one of them. The first thing to start with is to decide on the plot of the picture. It can be your own fantasies about space, pictures, photographs, films and more. It is necessary to determine in advance where the various objects in the figure will approximately be located. These objects can even be outlined with light strokes of a pencil so that the paint can later hide them.

The drawing should start from the background. It may or may not be black. For the background, different colors can be used, and even better - their combination. Having chosen the necessary shades, we cover the sheet with bold strokes. It is best to use acrylic for space drawing, oil paints or gouache. This will give the picture a special flavor. After applying the background, the drawing must be left to dry. If oil paints are used during work, then it is not necessary to wait for them to dry.

After the background is ready, you can proceed to the design of the main details. Objects are best drawn a few tones lighter than the main background. You can add highlights to them using paints with a white tint. To make work more like space drawing, you can add various effects using luminous or luminescent paints. If you want to give the object a three-dimensional image and a special relief, rub a piece of paper with wax before applying the background. After applying paints and images of the main objects, you need to draw a sharp object over the surface of the drawing. Volumetric image ready.

How to draw space in watercolor?

By depicting a mysterious abyss, you can get an alluring and mysterious world. Comets, asteroids and others celestial bodies help you get closer to the mysterious space.

In order to figure out how to draw space with watercolors, it is necessary, as in the previous figure, to take a sheet of paper, paints, brushes and decide on the background. To do this, you can use blue or lilac shades of watercolor. Black is best used sparingly or not at all. It is advisable to apply the background with a wide brush. After it dries, proceed to create. You can depict distant planets. Depict the stars in the form of vague highlights, four- or hexagonal outlines.

At the head of the drawing, place, for example, a flying comet, consisting of a head and a tail, which can be depicted as several rays. The latter can be both straight and zigzag. Colors for this are more suitable orange or red. The comet can also be depicted in other colors, such as silver or white, with small strokes of blue watercolor. As in the previous example, waxing the paper will provide an interesting effect.

Instead of a comet, you can depict a rocket, outlining its contours with a simple pencil. To do this, we draw an oval with a pointed top and a straight bottom. The two semicircular lines at the bottom of the rocket will mimic its tail. Red or orange colors help to depict fire emanating from a rocket. The body can be covered with lighter shades.

No less interesting will be UFOs and other objects of any color and shape. Everything depends on fantasy.

There are many options for how to paint space with watercolor. Whichever method is chosen, the plot displayed with these colors creates clearer and more realistic contours. It turns out very bright and colorful.

Drawing of space in pencil

To decide how to draw space in stages with a pencil and get a high-quality image, you need a little more attention and perseverance.

The technique of drawing with a pencil is a bit more complicated than with paints.
As with any drawing, you need to decide on the composition of the picture. To create a background, you will need to draw the right classic strokes that will give the picture a sense of spatiality. You should start with the darkest strokes, gradually moving to more light colors. The main thing is to avoid sharp corners and hard lines. We add images of planets, moon, stars, etc. to the background. The depth, smoothness and softness of space should be reflected in the drawing.

Different variants

You can use various objects for a picture on the theme of "space": stars, planets, rockets. Draw satellites, asteroids, comets. UFOs, clusters of galaxies, etc. are also suitable for the plot. It is quite simple to draw these objects with paints, the main thing is to have a little imagination.

Drawing on the theme "Space" is an endless field for creative experiments. Depicting the Universe "on canvas", a small or adult artist makes individual decisions: what paper to use, what colors to give preference to, how to arrange the composition and how to supplement it. Depending on the choice of materials and execution technique, the drawing can be brighter or less pronounced, rich in details or concise and abstract. Space with planets, stars and a satellite, drawn in pencil or gouache, cannot be compared with watercolor in terms of realism. And a small galaxy, created with an acrylic paint sponge, will become the most great pride an aspiring artist or a talented child. And if you have never had to engage in such creativity before, do not worry. We will tell and show how to draw space in step-by-step master classes with photos and videos.
