Baba Yaga is perhaps one of the most striking characters in Russian folk tales, even though she is a negative character. A grumpy character, the ability to use witchcraft items and potions, flying in a mortar, a hut on chicken legs - all this makes the character memorable and unique. And although, probably, everyone imagines what kind of old woman this is, not everyone knows how to draw Baba Yaga. That is what we will talk about in this article.

Everyone read Russian folk tales in childhood, it is from them that Baba Yaga is known to us. Therefore, if you decide to start drawing this old woman, you should turn to children's books to figure out what this character is. So, let's characterize Baba Yaga: she lives in a dense impenetrable forest, her housing is a hut on chicken legs. Witchcraft is subject to her and, in addition, she knows how to fly in a mortar, covering her tracks with a broomstick. If we talk about the character of Baba Yaga, then this is not always a harmful and evil old woman, in some fairy tales she admonishes the hero and gives him magical items, for example, a guiding ball of thread or a magic horse. Not only poets and writers, but also artists, such as Ivan Bilibin, Ivan Malyutin, Viktor Vasnetsov and others, have repeatedly turned to the image of Baba Yaga.

Hello dear guests! Today our work is dedicated to the wisest and most important woman - Baba Yaga! Lost in the forests, Kukoboy is the only place in Russia where the real Baba Yaga lives. As expected, an anomalous zone begins in the domain of Baba Yaga - mobile communications stop working, and the engines of cars overheat. They say that forest and marsh inhabitants are naughty: goblin, kikimors and mermaids.
Baba Yaga herself, for all her outward unattractiveness, has long been a peaceful old woman, she prefers pies with tea to black magic and witchcraft. And, every year on the last Saturday of June, the regional holiday "Baba Yaga's Birthday" is held, the scope of which is envied by many cities of the Yaroslavl region.
What adult can imagine childhood without Baba Yaga. All of us have been told horror stories about a mean granny who toasted naughty children. In all fairy tales, Baba Yaga is about the same - a certain ancient old woman, dressed in rags, who lives for many hundreds of years in the most dense forest in a very unusual hut - "on chicken legs", which knows how to turn around. And it seems like Baba Yaga should be afraid, but in the modern world she is the favorite of many children and adults, she is lovingly called the main woman of the country.
In Kukoboi, the image of Baba Yaga, a giver and adviser, was created: she shows the way to a good traveler, gives a magic horse or eagle, on which you can get to the thirtieth kingdom, gives advice in trouble. She understands the language of the forest, the language of animals and birds, and speaks with the wind and water. She is served by forest spirits, animals, birds, fish and other creatures. He is friends with Leshy and Vodyany. Baba Yaga owns magic, heals with herbs, knows how to move through the air on her stupa and can seem invisible. In the hut she has a magic ball, a self-assembled tablecloth, walking boots, gusli-samogudy, a flying carpet, a self-cutting sword and many other mysterious things. She is the guardian of her forest space and surroundings with all their inhabitants.
Yaga's hut most often stands in the very middle of the reserved (special) forest, on the border with the "thirtieth kingdom". That is, on the border of our world with other worlds (kingdoms), of which there are a great many (thirty). Baba Yaga is the guardian of this border. She guards the entrance to a distant fairy-tale world.
Any fairy tale about Baba Yaga tells that it is not easy to enter her house. To do this, you just need to ask: "Hut, hut, stand in the old way, as your mother set: back to the forest, front to me!" - And the hut will obediently fulfill the request. By the way, the hut of Baba Yaga in Kukoboy, thanks to craftsmen, can also rotate.
In the ancient legends of Kukuboy, it is said that in former times there was a hut on a swampy swamp, and an old woman lived in it. Sometimes she appeared in the village, and then she treated the sick with herbs and roots. Few knew the way to her house in the swamp, and the curious, trying to track down the sorceress, did not return home at all. Today we will dream up a little, and try to imagine what this hut in the forest was like. Welcome to our creative workshop!
Materials and tools:
- a sheet of paper A2
- simple pencil, eraser
-wax crayons
Master class progress:
We start with a pencil drawing. We draw the central object-hut to us chicken legs.
In the background, several vertical lines are tree trunks. Then we start working with wax crayons. We will draw with the side of the chalk (edge), as if rubbing the chalk on the surface of the paper. With green chalk we paint the surface of the earth-moss in the swamp.
Next to the hut, draw a body of water covered in mud - use the marsh green color, draw with a chalk edge.
With the same color we paint a part of the background behind the hut. For tree trunks, we will use brown and burgundy color (we draw with a chalk edge).
In the same technique, we paint the roof and the frame of the hut.
We fill the empty space between the trees with black color (we draw with the edge of the crayon). Next, we draw traditionally with the tip of the chalk. In black, draw the outlines of the trees. With burgundy chalk we draw the contours of the logs of the hut.
Next, draw twigs with black chalk, once again circle the logs, the roof and the chicken legs.
With black chalk we draw hummocks of dry grass in a swamp (with an edge). We draw reeds.
Behind the hut we draw a Christmas tree. And we put some green shadows on top of the work between the branches. And our composition with a hut on chicken legs is completed.
Thank you for your attention!

On the mortar of a magical old woman flies
So fast that the wind whistles after her.
She lives in a fabulous dark wilderness -
Hurry up to name the old woman! (Baba Yaga)
That's right, it's Baba Yaga. Guys, what is she like? Look at this picture and
what is Baba Yaga here?
Indeed, in this picture she is sad, sad. What do you think,
why is she sad? (children's answers)
Look around Grandma Yaga. Look at the doorstep, what an old
hut she sits. The hut stands in a dense, dense forest, rarely a guest
can come in here. And the poor old woman lives alone, she already
old, she herself cannot build a new house for herself and there is no one to help her.
Perhaps that is why she is so evil and cruel, as we see her in some
fairy tales. But if she had a new house, brand new and beautiful, she,
probably got better. Maybe we'll draw a new house for Grandmother Yaga. (Yes)
And who remembers in which hut Grandmother Yaga usually lives.

- So the roof. The roof is a rhombus, and another stick attached to the side:
- Now let's paint the walls. We designate doors and windows in them:
- Draw the chicken legs from below. Here we must try to make it more or less realistic:
- Now we paint over everything. We finish the small details and go to hand over to the teacher!
- outlined the dimensions of the hut and roof
- drew the position of the shutters and the window itself
- etc.
I propose to draw a hut on chicken legs as follows:
1) Start with the contours of the main part and the roof, as here:
2) We decorate the roof and finish the windows:
3) Now let's start drawing the visor, shutters and logs on both sides:
4) We draw the boards and logs from which the hut is made. We draw a pipe and smoke for realism, we make a decor on the roof:
5) Draw the legs:
I could not find anywhere a phased image of a hut on chicken legs. But I found ready-made drawings from which you can copy.
I think you can still draw any hut and add chicken legs to it, and then it will look like a hut on chicken legs like in a fairy tale.
The hut on chicken legs is often found in various fairy tales, it is a very funny hut.
And it's not particularly difficult to draw, especially with the help of the tips and instructions found in the tutorial video.
My child and I tried to draw such a hut and nothing came out.
You can also redraw from different pictures.
First, let's make a kind of geometric figure, similar to a reborn mutant mushroom:
Inside this mushroom, you can draw a kind of hat with sticks. This will be the basis for the future window and canopy over the door. As well as the contours of the door itself. Below, we will immediately draw our foundation, namely, the chicken legs themselves - the basis of the foundations of the hut for the unlucky old woman.
Now it's time to put a chimney on the roof, as the hut will, of course, be heated. Let's make a door, a window, a threshold of several steps. The granny is old, although she swaggers, her legs hurt, she won’t jump to the door, and the mortar is not always at hand.
And now we will gradually draw logs and make the hut more dark and smoky with strokes:
A little more, and everything will be ready for living:
Initially, we make drawings of the future hut.
Now you need to finish the shape of the hut by adding steps, a door and a window.
We draw logs on the hut, as well as Baba Yaga near the building.
We remove all defects and other lines with the help of an eraser and shade our drawing (you can first apply some shadows).
Draw a hut on chicken legs it is possible so. Let's do it step by step. We take the cartoon image of the hut as a basis.
The principle is this - we draw from top to bottom. I open the Paint program on my computer and you can follow me.
The rougher it gets, the better. After all, the hut was made not by the SMU brigade, but by forest evil spirits from past material.
Well, basically, that's all. More talk.
Whoever wants can redraw the hut on chicken legs from good children's books. This can also be done on a computer or on plain paper - with paints and pencils.
Olga, you gave an interesting drawing as an example, I copied it and this is how it happened:
In general, see for yourself how everything happened and what happened, it remains only to decorate beautifully) :
How to draw a hut on chicken legs can be viewed in the video tutorial below. I will now explain to you how this can be done.
So, first you need to draw the most ordinary hut (small). We draw a roof in the form of a triangle, a square frame, and then we make out the windows. You can hang something like platbands on the windows and roof;, the frame itself make log.
Now it remains only to paint the legs to the house. I think no one will have questions about how to draw chicken legs. So, we draw them under the hut. The drawing is ready.
