Step one

Draw a large oval in the very center of the sheet. From him down - a wide neck and shoulders. So far, these are only the main contours. But already they need to be shown carefully, calculating the approximate dimensions of the body and head.

step two

Let's turn the oval into a head, drawing a small chin. Let's draw a vertical auxiliary line - the line of the nose. Top hair in the shape of a hat. We will make the shoulders smoother and sloping. Let's show the semicircular neck of the sweater.

Step Three

Now let's focus on the face. You can even refer to a special lesson on how to draw a person's face. Define the line of the eyes and draw a segment. From it down are the lines that define the width of the nose and mouth. Let's mark the level of the mouth with the help of two horizontal segments.

Auxiliary lines are ready. Now we need to put in right places nose and mouth. Above the line of the mouth we will show the position of the eyebrows. Pay attention to their slope.

Step Four

We continue to draw the face. Let's shape the lips and nose. Let's make them more natural and smooth. Let's set the width of the eyebrows. Place two almond-shaped eyes with large pupils at eye level. The eyes are set not wide, closer to the nose.

Step five

We draw glasses. To do this, draw a line down from the center of the pupils. We draw a line across the bridge of the nose. So we got two centers for circles with you. Now we draw the circles themselves relative to the received centers.

We draw disheveled, disheveled hair.

On the sweater we will show the neck seam and a few small folds.

Step Six

Draw hairs over the entire width of the eyebrow. Eyebrows should be thick and give some severity to our hero. Let's paint the pupils. Outline the face and body. Well, Harry Potter is ready!

How to draw autumn with a pencil step by step

Step one.

We draw a sketch. The matchstick man sits on a stump. Near it, circles denote the body of the squirrel. In the background, draw the shape of the trees and the bridge. I think there will be no difficulties with this, all children can draw such scribbles. But let's move on!

Step two.

Now let's outline the contours of the girl's body, and her hairstyles. Let's add a hat. A squirrel sits next to it. Let's also outline the contours of her fluffy fur.

Step three.

Now let's move on to the details. Let's mark the place where the girl's eyes and lips are located, draw her fingers. Then a few more details of the dress. Next to her draw another bag with apples. And we will give one more apple to the squirrel, she deserves it. In the background, draw a path and a bridge across the river. And then draw the trunks and crowns of trees.

Step four.

Erase the auxiliary lines drawn in the previous steps. Let's outline the contours of the main objects more clearly.

Step five.

It remains to add a couple of little things. Let's draw the girl's hair, eyes and mouth. We detail the dress and shoes. We imitate leaves on the trees (I didn’t draw in detail, you can do it yourself if you want). Grass is depicted simply with strokes. We will do the same strokes, only less often on tree trunks and stumps, this will create a realistic effect. Don't forget the squirrel too!

And it should look like this:

How to draw a Cossack with a pencil step by step

Step one.

Let's start with a sketch. We draw the position of the Cossack, depicting a match man.

Step two.

Outline the contours of the body.

Step three.

Now let's make the objects clearer: draw the clothes and the sword.

Step four.

Let's move on to drawing the face. Let's add a mustache and forelock to him.

Step five.

It remains only to add shadows. This can be done both with the help of hatching and shading. I chose the first option, it's easier.

It turned out like this pencil drawing of a Cossack:

How to draw a ballerina with a pencil?

Step one. It is always better to start with drawing a position, body position. Our ballerina is in the dance. Let's make three circles: for the head, chest, and waist. Let's connect them all with lines. Let's denote the legs with indirect lines. One is raised up, and the second rests on the floor with a toe.

Step four. Let's move on to drawing hands.

Step 5. Next we have to draw the future shape of the body. Continue the line from the neck to the chest and move down to the waist. The dress is depicted in the form of a disk.

Step six. The most difficult and responsible. We draw in detail the dancer's legs and dress. They are called ballet tutu. Pay special attention to the pleats on the skirt. In the course of drawing, we remove the auxiliary lines.

Step last. Our sketch is almost ready, it remains to “clean up” where necessary and outline the contours. I drew with a 2B pencil. For some reason, I really like him.

And I also decided to color it with colored pencils. Here's how I did it:

Step one. Our whole drawing depends on it. We draw with a thin line, carefully and accurately. Oval head, with axial lines in the form of a cross. The vertical line of the neck, broad shoulders, turning into a large torso, consisting of two large parts. Confident foot stance. Two arms bent at the elbows are only outlined in large details. In this picture, our soldier seems to be holding a stick in his hands. In the future, it should turn into a worthy weapon.

Step two. We will add a chin to the oval-face, its shape will give character to a person. Rectangular will make it more masculine, triangular - more assertive, and oval - soft and kind. Let's draw the superciliary part of the headdress. Let's show the ears from eye level down.

Step three. At the intended level, draw the eyes, along the vertical line - but also the mouth. And then the details: a sharp collar, rectangular shoulder straps, a hat.

Step four. Show details firearms. Let's draw a hand.

Step five. We draw in detail the second hand, military jacket, bag, buttons and pockets on it.

Step six. A few more details on the machine and large pockets on the leg. By the way, you can determine the number and location of pockets yourself or look at the photos to find out how to draw a soldier present.

Step seven. There is little left - these are shoes

Step eight. We erase the axial lines on the face. Emphasize and outline large details.

How to draw a person in motion with a pencil

Step one. So far everything is just thin lines. First, determine the position of the head: somewhere in the center of the sheet. After all, we must still leave room for the whole body and a raised hand. On the face we will show 3 auxiliary lines: the levels of the nose, eyes and mouth. You already know about them, we have used them more than once. For example, when they learned to draw Rapunzel and a fairy.

And then we build the base of the body: a short neck, chest, curved spine and pelvis. Hands and feet should show us that a person is not just standing still, but is in motion. Let's draw the center lines so that one leg is bent and one arm is raised up.

In place of the palms, we draw two large circles - these are the contours of the so-called "washcloths".

Step two.

Based on the auxiliary lines, we will show the eyes. On top of the head is a mop of hair. And now we will try to draw a neat line of the chin and neck. Step three.

Draw the face: eyes, nose, mouth. You can see a separate lesson on how to draw a face. Wol centerlines hands draw a line from above. On the chest we will show the neckline. Let's add a couple of strokes to the hair. Step four.

We will draw lines from the bottom of the center lines of the hands. You should already have hands. We make our "washcloths" fluffy, circling them with small waves and notches. Let's show the chest of our girl and the line of a short T-shirt. Now we move on. Step five.

We draw a waist, and then a short skirt. Please note: there is a small crease on the inside of the skirt. It is like an extension of the leg. And the open cut on the skirt will tell us that the girl is just in motion. We add fluffiness to the washcloths with a couple of strokes inside. Step six.

We draw legs. The lines are drawn along the already drawn axial lines. At the same time, we do not see one foot, since it is hidden behind a straight leg. Our girl does not stand on her full foot, but on her toes. This will give even more dynamics to our drawing. After all, if she stood on a full foot, it would seem to us that she is in a static position. And now it seems that she is about to jump up or down. Step seven.

And now we take the eraser in our hands and carefully remove all the auxiliary lines. That seems to be all. It remains to trace the outline and color. I wish you success!

How to draw a woman with a pencil

Step one

Look carefully at the drawing. For convenience, I will indicate the direction of movement of the pencil with arrows.

We start with the head. In the upper right part of the sheet, we outline its outline. Auxiliary lines in the form of a cross on the face. Moreover, if we mentally continue these lines, then we get volumetric figure. This is the level of the nose and eyes.

From the head down draw a line of the torso. At the same time, we try to repeat the curves of the spine: in the neck and lower back.

Now imagine that somewhere below we have a surface on which our girl rests her hand. And from this place we draw the line of the hand upwards. It smoothly passes into the shoulders. On the surface, determine the position of the palm.

Now we need to draw some curved lines that will give volume to the future drawing. At the level of the chest, lower back, knees, shoulder, elbow and wrist, we will show arcs. Step two.

Let's draw the body. It would be nice to know the anatomy and location of muscles in humans.

Let's draw the kennels of the figure, show the joints. Let's outline the mouth, eyebrows and ear. Some lines of the body give it volume so that the drawing does not seem flat. Step three.

Hi all! Today's drawing lesson will be dedicated to the ancient warrior, one of the most freedom-loving and free people in troubled times late medieval and new time.

Our today's guest and his compatriots united in detachments and communities, the heads of which were elected at meetings where every vote was taken into account.

Formally, not even being citizens of the state, these people were forced to reckon with their will the mighty of the world of this - what can I say, even the monarchs were forced to listen to these brave people.
I think everyone has already guessed that we are talking about a Cossack - let's draw this brave, formidable warrior!

Step 1

Let's start, as always, with a stickman - a man made of sticks and circles, which we draw in order to indicate the character's pose, its proportions, as well as its position on a sheet of paper. Of the features of the figure, we note a stocky, dense physique and short stature. Ideal Proportions, according to drawing textbooks, are in accordance with the growth of the sum of the lengths of seven heads, here the growth is somewhat lower, about six heads.

Another rule of proportions is that the arms extended at the seams reach approximately the middle of the distance from the waist to the knee. By the way, pay attention - at this stage we draw hands without brushes, so this pattern is not traced here, but this is only for now, then everything will fall into place.

But of the features, we also note the slightly curved line of the body - it is the spine, it is also the posture. This position gives the figure majesty and impressiveness.

Step 2

Let's add volume to the resulting figure, but first mark out the head. Let's draw a vertical line of facial symmetry, which should divide the face into two equal parts (although visually it should be slightly shifted to the left side of us in accordance with the slightly turned position of the head). It should intersect with three lines, above all of which there will be a line indicating the position of the eyes. Immediately below it, place short lines that will indicate the mouth.

Now let's move on to the body itself. We will not analyze in detail the process of tracing a stickman, since in our drawing there is no need for anatomically accurate drawing. This is due to the attire of our warrior, which has a spacious, free character, hides all parts of the body, except for the head, and simply big size. We only note that the arms and torso are indicated by rectangles (the torso slightly expands towards the waist), and the legs look like a large, three-dimensional letter "L".

Step 3

Using the markup from the previous step, outline the main features of the face. The head of our Cossack should be slightly raised - nevertheless, this warrior is proud and impressive, apparently, someone close to the ataman. This elevation is expressed in the position of the ear - when the head is level, the upper tip of the ear coincides with the eyebrows, and the lower one with the tip of the nose. If you place the ear just below these frames, the head will look slightly raised. Of the features of appearance, we note the nose, which is slightly longer than average, a hanging mustache and a forelock of hair on a shaved head.

Step 4

Let's draw a face. Let's denote wrinkles - they look like slightly curved, short horizontal lines. They are located mainly in the forehead and under the lower eyelids. Also, a few wrinkles are located in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe right temple from us. Draw the nostrils of a large nose, mark the broken line of the cheekbones and work on the facial hair, which is represented by a pigtail and a long mustache. And here and there, the hair should be drawn in the direction from the roots to the tips.

Step 5

Let's mark the body of our Cossack.

Let's outline the silhouettes of a fur cape on the shoulders of our Cossack, it should look like two geometric shapes- a rectangle to our left and a triangle to our right. Pay attention to the shape of these figures - they are rather sloping, as if falling from the head down to the shoulders. Then we outline with two lines running from the neck down to the belt, the unbuttoned edges of the upper part of the clothing. Draw a small inverted triangle at the top of the torso.

Let's outline with a few rough lines the contours of the belt and the weapon stuck behind it with a very long muzzle - this is exactly what the first pistols had. Yes, it doesn't look like the short spy gun we drew at all.

Step 6

We continue our lesson step by step drawing . Let's draw the details of the clothes and weapons that we outlined in the previous step. Give the sections of the cape on the shoulders uneven, “furry” edges, on the left edge of the outerwear we will draw small round buttons arranged in a vertical row. In the very center of the torso, we outline the folds on the clothes, which look like several slightly curved lines. We complete the drawing stage ancient weapons and a roughly knotted hanging sash.

Step 7

We continue the detailing, now the right hand from us is next in line. Let's outline its outline and erase the extra guide lines from the previous steps. Despite the fact that the fabric of the sleeve, like all clothing, is very dense, the Cossack suit sits on it very spaciously. This means that there will be a very significant amount of folds.

On right hand, which we draw in this step, the inner folds look like horizontal lines of varying intensity. Some of them go into the outer contour of the sleeve, this is especially noticeable in the area between the forearm and wrist. In the same step, we will lightly work on the contour of the left part of the shoulder cape.

Step 8

Let's work on our left hand. Just as in the previous step, we will erase the extra auxiliary lines, draw the outline of the sleeve, outline the folds. Internal look like smooth, slightly curved lines, and the outer folds distort the contour of the sleeve, making it more uneven.

True, in the previous step we could not see the brush - it was hidden behind the belt, but here we see the brush, it lies on a powerful staff. Draw the phalanges on all fingers, mark the nail on the big one. The brush is the most moving part human body, drawing it is very difficult, so we decided to make a close-up:

And this is how it looks in general terms:

Step 9

We detail the leg left from us, more precisely, the wide trouser leg of traditional Cossack trousers - trousers, a boot and a capacious pocket fastened to the belt. Actually, the pants are very spacious (like one of our previous characters from the lesson about), even baggy, so no muscles and joints need to be anatomically accurately drawn, but the folds need to be worked out properly.
Immediately under the belt we see a pocket, and we will start with it. When drawing it, pay attention to the borders of its upper part, a round button - fastener and several lines - folds coming from this button. Since we are talking about borders, we will definitely note the one that is located on the lapel of the outerwear floor. More precisely, not “that”, but “those” - there are two borders, horizontal - from below, and vertical - on the right side of us.

Now about the pants. Draw its outline, be sure to mark a sharp narrowing of the wide silhouette in the boot area, draw long, vertical folds. Note that almost all folds look like two closely spaced, parallel lines. Moreover, those that are located in the upper part of the leg are almost absolutely straight, and the folds in the lower leg area are located slightly obliquely.
When drawing the visible part of the boot, mark all the necessary skin folds, both internal (several oblique lines, some of them look like a check mark) and external (they form the outer contour of the boot and make it uneven).

Step 10

Our drawing is almost complete, it remains only to apply the shadows. Here they are very light, not contrasting and look like areas covered with not very intense shading. We do not recommend using extreme softness, HB and B are fine. In places where the shadow is a little thicker, use a second layer of hatching laid crosswise.

It was a step-by-step drawing lesson dedicated to that. Look at our site more often, because we have many more lessons in store. See you soon!

Rules for drawing arrows

The question of how to draw arrows in front of the eyes worries a lot of women. A beautiful arrow can be drawn only if you do it sequentially in several stages.

You need to draw an arrow with a “firm” hand, otherwise the line will turn out not to be even, but wavy, which is unacceptable. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to put a mirror at eye level, and with the elbow of the hand that draws the eyes, rest against a hard surface.
It is not necessary to draw an arrow by closing the eye or opening it, it is inconvenient. It is best if the eye is half closed. In this case, you will immediately see how well the arrow is drawn.
No matter how wide it is planned to draw an arrow, initially it must be drawn thin, and gradually thicken if necessary.
Most women believe that the arrow should be drawn with one solid line. But in this case draw straight line almost impossible. It is best to draw an arrow in two passes. From the inner corner to the middle, and from the middle to the outer corner.
The inner edge of the arrow should be drawn along the lash line. If space is left between the eyelashes and the eyeliner, it will look sloppy and the eyelashes will not look spectacular, even if they are very thick and beautifully made up.
The arrows on both eyes should be the same length and width. Even the slightest deviation is unacceptable, since with different arrows the eyes will look asymmetrical, even if in fact the woman does not have such a defect.
If the eye makeup includes not only arrows, but also shadows, then the arrows are drawn over the shadows.

How to draw a picture with paints

Choose your watercolors. They are the easiest way to start painting a picture. They can convey all shades and give brightness when translucent. Choose whether you want to paint on wet or dry surfaces. When drawing on a wet surface, the outlines of objects are blurred, which is useful in landscape compositions or when pouring vegetables and fruits in the background.

Take drawing paper - it does not swell from excess water, and the places that need to be fixed can be easily washed off with foam rubber. Position the paper at a 30-40 degree angle so that the ink flows evenly.

Make pencil sketches of the main objects. If this is a still life, then determine the location of the table or other surface and the fruit and vegetable composition. If this is a portrait, then consider the proportions of a person, and if it is a landscape, then light sketches will be enough here - leading role colors will play. When drawing with paints, especially watercolors, consider the fact that you need to think over the shade of each stroke in advance. You can correct the error only with the help of wet foam rubber. Then, on an already well-dried surface, apply the desired strokes.

Draw the general background with foam rubber or a wide squirrel brush. When painting large areas, make sure that there is enough paint on the brush. Apply the background from a light place to a dark one. Please note that the effect of white when drawing watercolor paints It is achieved only due to unpainted or well-washed places. Be careful not to tear or roll the paper.

Determine the sunny side and shaded places in the picture. Based on this, sketch all the objects. Mix colors on the palette - in the picture, the overlay of color layers can lead to a simple color distortion dark shades. Apply each next stroke next to the previous one with a slightly dampened brush for a smooth transition.

Pictures painted with paints have the gift of attracting more and more eyes. The unique play of shades allows you to convey everything to the smallest detail. But how exactly to draw a picture with paints? - drawing paper,
- pencil,
- eraser,
- paints.

How to draw a daffodil

Make pencil sketches in the middle of the sheet and arrange the individual parts. In the upper part, draw a hexagon - the basis of the flower itself. To do this, draw two equal trapezoids with common ground, but with convex parts facing on opposite sides. Draw the middle in the form of an oval and depict the stem and leaf with simple strokes.

Draw the details of the daffodil more precisely. From each vertex of the hexagon, draw straight lines converging towards the middle. These lines will be the vertical axes for the flower petals. Mark the midpoints of the lines. Now, from each vertex, draw strokes expanding to the indicated points. Next, bring the strokes to the middle of the flower already in the form of straight parallel lines.

In order to draw a daffodil, draw the petals of a flower smooth lines- smooth out the main contours. Picture a little wrapping of the petals wavy lines located near their walls. Draw the middle of the daffodil. First, make the borders of the oval jagged with a small step. WITH right side oval, draw a small dome, making the middle more voluminous.

Draw part of the narcissus stem in the form of a tubular arc connecting the flower itself and the straight thin stem with the wide side directed towards the petals. Draw a leaf of a plant as an elongated narrow one with a pointed top.

draw a flower with a simple pencil. Shade the middle of the narcissus tightly with straight thin lines radiating from the middle to the borders of the oval. On the petals, depict the rays going along the vertical middle line. Shade both the left side of the stem and the top of the daffodil leaf.

How to draw an anchor

How to draw an anchor

Draw a modern anchor design with two sharp edges at the bottom. Draw a vertical line in the middle of the sheet, slightly narrowed at the top and widened at the bottom. This will be the anchor spindle. Draw a circle around the upper border of the spindle, the so-called. eye - a place for attaching a cable or rope for raising or lowering an anchor. At the top of the vertical, swipe horizontal line- stock. Secure the bottom of the spindle with a large tick.

Draw the individual parts of the anchor in more detail. Draw the spindle in the form of two straight lines, each of which draw at the bottom of the allotted in different sides, forming an anchor, its main part. This way you get two anchor horns. Line junctions should be smooth. Make each horn voluminous by adding another line that repeats the outline of the anchor. Draw lops on the tips of the horns - wide plates with sharp outer peaks. Please note that the heel of the anchor should be sharp enough.

Draw the stem in detail. From an inclined straight line at a short distance, draw another one with the same slope, but slightly convex, thus delimiting the lateral and lower parts of the stem. Connect both lines with a few vertical strokes. Now draw another sloping line repeating the outline and continue the vertical strokes at an angle of slightly more than 90 degrees. Above the upper border of the stem, draw a neck - draw a small rectangle and divide it in half vertical line. Make the eye ring double.

Darken individual sections of the anchor: the lower part of the lop and the right horn. Shade the stem with short lines and the neck, its right side. Also darken the section of the spindle that runs along the right border of the vertical - the drawn anchor is ready.
