It is worth saying that I rarely manage to participate in competitions, because. I am either busy on the dates when the competition is held, or I am not satisfied with the criteria for choosing winners (for example, voting is carried out in contact by most likes, which are now easy to wind up and get the right amount). This time it so happened that the dates fell out well, just in time for the New Year holidays, and the selection of works was carried out by an independent jury. For this, of course, I would like to say special thanks to the organizers of the competition.
I found out about the competition by chance, when I went to the store's website in search of paper for pastels. I was immediately interested in the idea of the competition - to create my own unique plot on the theme of winter festivities, sports, games. I immediately discarded the copying option, because. All works were checked for uniqueness. According to one of the criteria, I also had to place the name of the store's website on my work.
In general, I got excited about the idea to participate and began to sort out what kind of games and festivities take place in winter. Making a preliminary list various kinds sports and games, for several days I thought about what to choose from the list so that the idea was not boring. And in the end I settled on the option of playing snowballs and skiing. And to make it completely New Year's, I decided to add a team of snowmen to the picture. The idea was formed as follows - in winter forest skiing competitions are held, where children and snowmen participate. But these competitions are not enough for the teams. Right on the ski slope, several snowmen and children staged a snowball fight, which is about to hit skiers passing by.
The final version of the idea took shape on my last working day in 2015, December 25th. Arriving home, I very quickly, while all the images were fresh, sketched out in a sketchbook the main idea, the location of characters and objects:
As you can see, it's literally two or three minutes quick sketch with chaotic lines expressing general idea. Why I arranged the characters and details in this way, I will tell / show at the end of the article.
One of the following days off I started a more detailed sketch already on A4 format with more detailed characters. In doing so, I decided to move the birds from the tree on the left to the greeting banner at the top:
When I was satisfied with the arrangement of objects and characters, I took A3 paper to create an even more detailed sketch, which will serve as a reference for me when I draw already on A3 pastel paper:
I have not placed birds and inscriptions here, only the location of the main objects and details on the characters.
At the next stage, I copied a sketch (it was just the ability to copy or copy that came in handy here) on the final sheet of Canson pastel paper, on which I planned to carry out the rest creative activity. And on this sheet all the lines with a simple pencil I made it very thin and before putting the pastel, I removed additional graphite from the paper with a nag, brightening the lines to the maximum.
I started working with pastels by drawing the sky and the distant plan of the trees. Everything here is like in ordinary landscape, the main thing to remember. On large spaces, I used different brands of dry pastels. I drew the details pastel pencils Derwent. The bright white areas were done with MUNGYO's extra soft pastels:
By the way, in the final sketch, I decided that the crow that stole the carrot nose from the snowman would sit on a branch with spread wings, adding more movement to the picture - a snowman without a nose jumps to get a carrot, the crow teases him and evades him, flapping his wings. Here I carefully drew the letters on all the banners with the help of a ruler, again trying to follow the laws of perspective.
Having completed the drawing of the background, I began to work on the children. And this turned out to be the most difficult moment in the picture for me. Before that, I had never painted children. Well, somehow it was not necessary at all. And even more so their faces with emotions. Here it was necessary to draw at least 3 children's faces. I tried to google a little, but I could not find such children's faces that would correspond to my image in my head. I had to practice on a separate piece of paper. The first "victim" was the girl on the left. I drew 5 or 6 of the girl's faces on a separate sheet, but they all came out creepy as hell. The last version was more or less, and I decided to reproduce it on the "clean" version. After completing the face, I completed the hat, hair, coat and boots. Moved a little away from the picture, Once again he was horrified at how terrible the girl turned out to be, and having removed her face, having completely erased the pastel to the paper, he went to bed.
The next day, for some reason, all problems were removed as if by hand. I have already noticed more than once that if something doesn’t work out badly, you need to sleep with it and everything will work out tomorrow. As a result, the faces turned out to be more or less good-natured :-)
And a close-up:
From above, fans are watching the snowball fights, actively supporting the teams with their chirping:
And the competitors are already visible in the distance! By the way, the inscription "Hello to the Participants of the Competition" refers not only to the characters in the picture, but also to the participants in the "Winter Fun" contest:
The final step was to draw a team of snowmen. This turned out to be a fairly simple task, because. the shape of the snowman consists of simple balls, so it was not difficult to distribute light and shadow. Close-up this section:
Well, here is the final illustration for the Winter Fun contest, which won 1st place:
As I promised at the beginning of the article, I show why such a composition of characters and elements was chosen in the illustration:
If someone hasn't guessed yet, then the red line shows the approximate route of attention movement. Moreover, the trajectory works in both directions. Wherever the eye passes, obstructing elements (trees, overhead banner, jumping snowman) block its exit from the picture and direct it further along the circle, keeping attention inside the picture.
I hope you found this story helpful. Be sure to participate in contests, if possible. free time. In my opinion, this is a good opportunity to try something new and find out what possibilities you have! Well, I'm already impatiently waiting for the prize - a wooden case with extra soft MUNGYO pastels from 160 colors.
By the way, I recommend you the Etudesite online store for shopping art materials. I chose this store a long time ago, because. they have some of the lowest prices a good choice, and there is also the opportunity to purchase materials by the piece, for example, pastels. The latter is very convenient. For example, not so long ago I ordered MUNGYO extra soft pastels from them by the piece. The package arrived in just a week! The pastel was neatly stacked in foam rubber packages of several bars. Everything arrived safe and sound.
Well, that's all for me. Don't forget to leave comments and share the article with your friends.
There is nothing more fun and exciting than winter fun- pictures for children clearly demonstrate how many different activities you can think of on the street during this cold season, which is called winter.
Warm winter day real gift for babies. The snow becomes soft and sticky, turning into an excellent material for creativity. The most famous snow character is, of course, the snowman. What a pleasure it is to mold a big man out of snow, decorate him, dress him up! You can make a snowman in a cheerful crowd, or you can do it alone - if only there is a desire.
And small snowballs turn into a real projectile. What dexterity, resourcefulness, accuracy is needed to hit your opponent with such a projectile! In this fun game all the joy that the child experiences at the sight of snow is expressed.
Joint work brings children together, unites them, makes it possible to feel the joy of friendly interaction with each other.
And how much pleasure do you get from sliding on flat ice! Skates are a great means of transportation for true lovers of speed. But what perseverance is required in order to master the art of riding them, what strength of mind is needed to get up after a fall and ride again ...
A sunny winter day beckons even the most inveterate homebodies to the street. It gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in winter activities; pictures for children walking in a snowy meadow - and they awaken the desire to go outside and make their own snow angel or roll up a snowman.
And of course, what winter can be without snow slides! How breathtaking it is when you fly down at a rapid speed on skis or sleds, what pride you feel after a successful landing. And how useful it is to climb back up the hill, inhaling the cold winter air.
Winter entertainment not only brings happy, memorable moments to kids, but also strengthens their health, makes them more resilient and persistent. Without exaggeration, we can say that in the process of these games both the body and the character of the child are tempered.

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.
Read more about drawings on the theme "Winter fun for children".
Winter time is snow-covered streets, flying snow, anticipation new year holidays, and, of course, winter fun that children look forward to all year long.
These include sledding, skiing, skating, snowball fights, building snow figures, snowmen. Quite often, in drawing lessons, children are asked to draw winter fun, so let's take a closer look at what can be drawn on this topic and how to do it.
pictures in pencil
Almost all children love to draw, especially if the topic of the upcoming work is free. So in winter, very often children are asked to depict winter fun in a pencil drawing. Pictures on this topic are varied, of any complexity.
It can be Santa Claus, a Christmas tree decorated with balls and other decorations, children sledding, skiing, playing snowballs. Most children prefer to draw pictures of a snowman. This is due to the ease of its image.
But, in order for the drawing to be complete, in addition to the snowman, you need to draw something else. An excellent solution to the drawing, on the theme "Winter Fun", is the image of a snowman on a snowy street. You can draw it in 6 steps:
- First you need to delimit the horizon. In our case, it will be somewhat curved, which will help to bring volume to the drawing. On the left - you will need to make sketches of the future fence, on the right - trees located in the distance.
- We decorate the fence by drawing straight lines along its entire length. Behind it there will be trees, the drawing of which will need to be done at this stage. The closer the trees are to us, the larger they are. We draw the silhouette of a snowman - these are three circles, arranged from larger to smaller.
- At this stage, you need to draw the tops of the trees. In order to simplify the task, you can create their general silhouette without drawing branches. The snowman has facial features, a bucket hat. You can also depict hands that will become tree branches.
- In the hands depicted in the previous step, you will need to draw a spruce branch. From the side of the hand where the branch is depicted, we designate the top and trunk of the upcoming fluffy Christmas tree, after which we proceed to its image in the drawing with a pencil.
- Having drawn the Christmas tree, we begin to make out the drawing. Since the picture shows winter, it is necessary to draw snowdrifts and snow lying on a fence, trees, a snowman.
To do this, with the help of an eraser, carefully wipe the main lines, and draw in the erased area jagged lines sticky snow.
This is quite easy to do, and the picture from this is more realistic. Christmas tree can be decorated New Year's toys, and draw a bird near the snowman. It is important not to miss such a moment as the image of our snowman's legs, which are slightly immersed in a snowdrift.
- The final stage of drawing is the image of the falling snow. To do this, without pressing the pencil on the drawing, evenly draw small droplets falling from the sky at the same angle. The design can be considered complete.
The kids are sure to love what they have. If you follow the stages of the image of such a picture, then it will turn out to be voluminous and quite interesting.
In this case, it is enough to have a simple pencil and an eraser on hand. Naturally, this option is just an example of what can be winter pictures, so you can safely supplement it with your fantasies. If desired, the drawing can be painted with colored pencils, felt-tip pens, paints, which will make it even more interesting.
