If you can still morally prepare a child for big changes, by means of communication with peers in the yard and kindergarten. Then you can teach the baby to be more attentive, develop writing skills, attentive performance of certain tasks, with the help of graphic dictations and drawing by cells. Today, this incredibly popular activity has won the hearts of not only preschool children, but also teenagers. This is a way to teach a child to write, to develop logic, abstract thinking, perseverance and painstaking, as well as fine motor skills of pens. With the help of this lesson, the child develops coordination, stability and corrects the correctness of his movements, so to speak, “fills a firm hand”, which will undoubtedly help him at school, when writing dictations and notes in a short period of time.
What are graphic dictations? Imagine in front of you a sheet of paper on which the cells are drawn. The task contains arrows (showing the direction) and numbers (showing the number of cells that need to be passed in the specified direction). If you follow the signs accurately and carefully, draw a line in the right direction for the right distance, you get an image - a picture. In other words: graphic dictations are drawing by cells, using pointers in the task.
Such classes are recommended not only for preschool children, in kindergartens, but for children under 12 years of age. After all, mindfulness and coordination of movements can be developed at an older age. A fascinating activity is an entertaining leisure not only for children, but also for adults. The recommended age to start drawing graphic dictations is from 4 years old. It is at this age that the development of fine motor skills begins, with the help of drawing by cells.
Graphic dictations as an educational game are used in various places: at home, in extracurricular activities, on vacation, at sea, in the country, and even at a summer camp. It is important to interest children, and what will do it better than such an activity. Indeed, in the end you get an unknown picture, which you can then paint with pencils or felt-tip pens. Explaining this to the baby, you can not worry about his interest in this, not so much an activity as a game that develops the imagination.
So, let's get started. First of all, you need to prepare, namely, to purchase a collection of graphic dictations. You can get them not only in specialized stores for children's books, but also in a stationery shop, second-hand bookshops. They can be downloaded for free on some sites on the Internet (for example, on our site), you can also go to paid sites. The choice of such tasks is great, choose based on the age, gender and hobbies of the child. For kids who are just starting classes, it is best to choose graphic dictations (drawing by cells) depicting bunnies, cats, dogs. For girls: princesses, flowers. But, you can start with simple geometric shapes: squares, triangles, prisms. So you will immediately teach the child and coordination of movements, improve the motor skills of the handles, develop perseverance and attentiveness, and tell about the names and types of geometric shapes. For boys, dictations with the image of cars, animals, robots, castles, funny little men are suitable. The easiest graphic dictations, with simple shapes and performed in one color, are for beginners. Complicated tasks - for older children. Choose graphic dictations on a topic that is interesting to your child. If the kid is into music, use drawings of musical instruments, treble clefs and notes.
If you have already done cell drawing with your child, start adding variety to your activities. That is, at 5-6 years old, you can perform dictations that help develop even more. That is, get drawings with those animals that the child has not yet seen and does not know what they look like. Use colors that the baby has not yet learned very well. Expand your child's horizons in this way, let him increase and replenish his vocabulary with new words, teach them, find out where they can be applied. The main thing is a good mood, enthusiasm and a positive attitude of the crumbs before performing any task. Under such conditions, study will indeed be incredibly useful, fruitful and not straining the child.
After a selection of graphic dictations, start preparing. Remember that the child must be praised for a job well done. Even if the picture is not yet obtained, there is no need to constantly prompt, direct and compare with other children. You need to guide and push in the right direction. To do this, first of all, you need to teach the child where the left side is, where the right side is. Show me where is the top and where is the bottom. This simple and ingenuous knowledge will help you perform all graphic dictations with 100% accuracy.
Sit near a table with a level and smooth surface so that the child can sit evenly and correctly in the chair. Pay attention to lighting. Tip: if you want to teach your child to a school notebook, give him the opportunity to get used to it, learn to navigate, prepare graphic dictations on a sheet, just like a school notebook. Now prepare a simple pencil and a diligent eraser so that the wrong strips can be easily removed and the same dictation can be continued again. Prepare yourself a pencil and an eraser.
It is worth keeping track of time so that the child does not get tired, so that the hands and eyes rest. Although if the baby is not tired, wants to continue and finish the work now, there is no need to pick up the dictation, the child will decide when enough is enough.
There is a time frame for working with graphic dictations
For children 5 years of age - a maximum of 15 minutes. For older children, up to 6 years - a maximum of 20 minutes (from 15 minutes). For first-graders (6 or 7 years old) - a maximum of 30 minutes, a minimum of 20 minutes.
Drawing by cells is a great way to teach your baby to a pencil and a pen. Teach how to hold it correctly, practice so that the fingers are not so tired of holding the subject at school. This exercise will help you teach your baby to count correctly, as he will need to count the exact number of cells before starting the lesson.
And so: before you lies the task of a graphic dictation, a pencil. In front of the child is a piece of paper in a cage or a notebook, an eraser and a simple pencil. On the sheet of the child, with or without your help, is shown in the indicated place, the starting point. Explain that from this point they start drawing lines (right, left, down and up), in the direction and with the number of cells that you name. Now proceed, near the named task, and they are indicated in a line, put a dot with a pencil so as not to forget where you finished the dictation, not to confuse the child and, of course, yourself. Watch what the child is doing. Tell me if the baby is confused where the left and right sides are. Count together, if necessary, the number of cells.
For example, you have a figure, the most standard is a house. Tell the kid what kind of drawing you will end up with, or keep it a secret for even more interest. From the point you need:
1 → - 1 cell to the right
Dictate clearly, the child should perceive everything by ear. At the end of the work, look at how much the baby's figures coincide with the given elements. If the baby is wrong, find out together exactly where. Erase extra lines with an eraser, starting from the point of failure, and continue drawing. It is important to keep the child in a good mood during the learning process.

Dear users, as well as guests of our site, today we will consider the technology of drawing cell drawings.
Probably, each of us painted over the cells in the margins of school notebooks. Some of this all turned out interesting ornaments, someone wrote texts in this way, but not everyone knows the technology of drawing drawings from notebooks cells which we will cover in this tutorial.
If you want to improve your drawing skill, be sure to read the article pencil drawings. Is a special talent needed?
What are cell drawings?
Cell drawings This is a type of fine art that uses pixel (dot) graphics. Depending on the complexity of such an image, its area and the number of pixels (in our case, cells) that are painted over increase. The larger the image area, the more realistic the image will be when viewed from a distance.
Let's look at one example of such work:
As you can see for yourself, if you look at the picture from a distance, we see a clear image, but if you get closer, we see separate filled squares. This is a more complex option, which we will consider a little later.
Now let's dive into history a bit.
Pigtails by cells (video)
What trace drawings n about notebook cells left in history?
Of course, each of us, whose childhood passed in the 80s or 90s, will give an answer to this question. And the answer is simple - video games!
We all remember the legendary games from our childhood: Mario, Tanks, Pacman, Donkey Kong and many others. Our children also know about these games, but do they know that Mario was not always three-dimensional?
In our childhood, games were 8-bit, and even the most colorful landscapes were made using pixel art technology. Using the same technology, draw drawings on notebook cells. And who knows, maybe the legendary Mario or Donkey Kong were also once just drawings on the margins of a school notebook?
Let's try to draw our first drawing on notebook cells, and who knows, maybe it will inspire you to something that will turn our world upside down, as the advent of video games once turned it over.
What is needed to draw simple drawings on notebook cells?
For drawing simple drawings by cells we will need:
- Black helium pen
- felt-tip pens
How to draw a simple drawing on notebook cells?
In drawing simple drawings on notebook cells there is nothing complicated. All you need is to count the cells, draw a contour and paint over the drawing in accordance with the original. Let's look at this in more detail using the example of a heart.
- Take a notebook sheet and a black helium pen, put three crosses as shown in the figure. The crosses will mean that we will paint over these squares with black.
- Next, draw lines that will mark the boundaries of our drawing in this area.
- We put 6 more crosses on top, three crosses on each side. Pay attention to the indents, count the cells that need to be left empty.
- Let's draw 2 more lines to mark the borders of the picture.
5. Let's put another cross on the left and right, and also draw a horizontal line under the upper crosses, denoting the boundaries in this place. Do it as shown in the picture.
6. Let's put 8 crosses vertically, 4 crosses on each side, as shown in the following figure.
7. Let's draw a vertical line on the left, as well as lines on top, as it is done in the figure. With this we will completely designate the upper border of our heart.
9. And do the same with the right half of the heart.
10.Now it remains for us to mark the borders of the heart along its entire perimeter, as this is done in the figures below. Our drawing already resembles a heart, however, that's not all. Now we need to paint over our heart to make it look finished.
11. Paint the inside of the heart with a red felt-tip pen, but leave three cells white in the upper left corner to indicate a highlight. Do it the way it is shown in the picture.
12. The last thing left for us to do is paint over with a black felt-tip pen those parts that we marked with crosses.
And now, our drawing has acquired its finished form. Now you can draw simple drawings on notebook cells and you can try your hand at drawing other pictures that can be easily found on the Internet using the keywords "8bit art".
If you do not want to limit your skills to drawing simple drawings, let's take a look at how complex cell drawings. Initially, the process may seem very difficult to you, but do not despair ahead of time, you just have to try it once and you will understand that drawing such drawings is not only easy, but also very exciting!
What is needed to draw complex drawings on notebook cells?
For drawing complex drawings we will need:
- Black helium pen
- Markers or pencils
- Notebook (or notebook sheet) in a cage
- A computer
- Photo
- Adobe Photoshop photo editor
In drawing complex drawings, you will also have to calculate the cells that need to be painted over. The difficulty in this case lies only in not making a mistake in the calculation, since we will have more cells than in the previous figure. And also our task is to choose the right shades of felt-tip pens or pencils so that our drawing matches the photo from which we will draw it.
And so, let's get started!
- First, let's take a photo. I chose a photo of a cute puppy that I found on the Internet. There she is:
- Let's open the Adobe Photoshop photo editor and upload our photo:
Now we need to apply a filter to mark the cells in the photo, by which we will later navigate. To do this, select the "Filter" tab at the top and click on the "Filter Gallery" parameter.
4. In the window that opens, select the "Texture" tab and once click on the "Colored Tile" filter.
5. The parameter sliders on the right must be set as follows:
Size of squares - 10
Relief - 0
Then click OK.
6. Now our photo is divided into cells. Let's save it on our computer so that later it can be opened in full screen or printed.
- Now it remains only to open or print our photo, pick up pencils or felt-tip pens by shades and paint over the cells in accordance with the shades.
That's all!
Now you can draw simple and complex cell drawings!
Thank you for your attention!

Draw by cells (video)
It can be difficult to surprise children, but this does not mean that it is impossible to do it. And after a whole day of running, jumping, dancing, playing, everyone should calm down a little and do something creative and developing. Small drawings by cells come to the rescue. When you need to keep the kids busy, pull out a large piece of checkered paper so the kids can draw together.
Small grid drawings, a good idea or a bad idea?
Of course, small drawings on the cells in a notebook are also a good idea, especially when you are on the road with a child and there is nothing to keep him busy. Small and cute, they will help your child have a good time, they will get the most out of such activities. Small drawings on the cells in a notebook is a simple artistic activity that combines art and mathematics.

Tools for drawing small pictures by cells
Don't tell the kids too much, make a surprise, take different types of paper, markers or colored pencils and pens and let the kids start drawing. Drawings can be arbitrary, sometimes it is useful to allow the child to develop imagination through drawing. But you can choose specific ones for 5 years.
If you have a home printer, then that's great. You can customize and create your own graphic paper in a dedicated application. They have many options for graphic paper - regular square, triangle, and more. But decide on this step after the children have mastered drawing by cells. It's still easy to choose the size of the shape you need, the thickness, the color of the lines, and more in the app. Then the layout is simply saved as a pdf and you can print it immediately.
Using regular checkered paper, you can make simple repeating patterns, checkerboard patterns. You can merge squares to make big shapes and split squares into triangles and smaller squares and even octagons to make all sorts of interesting images.
Triangles and hexagons also work well for patterns and paintings. For those who already cope well with different shapes and are well versed in the basics of geometric shapes, you can take emoticons from VK as a template. Let your child choose their favorite emoticons and redraw them in their notebook. Animals are a good idea too.
Drawing them for the first time may not be so easy if you use cells, but in fact, children will quickly pick up this idea and after some time they will be able to embody the most daring ideas on a sheet in a cell.
Even though it's a simple idea, it leaves a lot of room for creativity, which with lots of random math concepts is a big bonus for a child's development.

Graphic dictation
It is worth noting that tasks with graphic paper are popular in kindergartens. One of the common tricks is to create a drawing without a sample. This is a kind of graphic dictation. This task is easy to reproduce at home with your child. For this exercise, we will use 4x4 sheets of paper. Starting from the top left corner, we will begin to fill in the squares using simple instructions. These instructions include:
- move one square to the right;
- move one square to the left;
- move one square up;
- move one square down. This is how we will write the algorithm to instruct the child (who will fill in the cells).
Choose a simple pattern, such as a checkerboard, to be used as an example. This is a good way to enter all the characters in a key. To get started, complete the chart for your child, square by square, then ask them to help describe what you just did. First, you can speak the algorithm out loud, then you can turn your verbal instructions into a program. Algorithm example: “Move right, fill square, move right, move down. Fill square, move left, move left, fill square.
If the child copes well with this exercise, then this is an occasion to come up with an alternative task with a similar essence, but more difficult. If there is still confusion, save this activity and try again the next day, but in the meantime, work on another example.
If the child understands the algorithm and can identify the correct symbols for each step, he is ready to move on. Depending on your child and their age and development, you can either try to make a complex grid together or move on to having the child work in pairs with a friend. They will enjoy playing together, giving each other such tasks. This is a great way to get your child to get creative by coming up with their own fun pictures and breaking them down into algorithms for moving around the cells and filling them in.

Almost anyone can learn to draw drawings by cells. You don't need any special skills or tools for this. It is enough to stock up on time, an ordinary school notebook and a simple pencil with a sharp lead. For beginners, it is better not to use the pen for the first time, because in case of an error it cannot be erased.
Rules for drawing by cells

Drawing is useful for both adults and children. This process develops fine motor skills with a finger, teaches concentration and gives peace of mind. It is not necessary to draw at the master level, but this article will discuss the options for teaching professional and stylized drawing.
An example of simple and complex drawings drawn on notebook cells:
As a rule, you first need to make a black or brown stroke on the picture. Then certain fragments need to be filled with color. The standard size of 1 cell in a notebook is 5 by 5 mm. There are notebooks with large cells for first graders and second graders. They are perfect for beginners.
Those who like to draw by cells very often use markers, not pencils. Why? So the picture is brighter, "juicy". Bad markers or simple felt-tip pens can leak, which is especially inopportune when a person is just learning to draw. Therefore, it is better to immediately buy markers for drawing or sketching in specialized stores.
Sketching is a kind of very fast drawing. In fact, using this technique, you can make very stylish and beautiful drawings. The most important thing is to have the necessary skills. Sketching is done with professional quality tools.
Step-by-step instructions: where to start?
How to draw? You need to choose any image you like. For starters, it is better to choose simple schemes. It is quite easy to draw a heart, geometric shapes, vegetables and fruits.
Count the required number of cells (focus on the selected image). Next, you need to put dots on one side of the outline of the future drawing.
Points must be set in stages, otherwise you can make a mistake.
The points are marked. You need to start tracing.
You don't have to try to draw perfectly straight lines. Drawing by cells should not be difficult and dreary, on the contrary, this process should be fun.
After the stroke, we paint over the column. On the example of this figure, you can do anything, so it is not necessary to repeat it. The most important thing is to understand how the process of drawing by cells works.
Attach your finger and count the required number of cells again.
Put in the reference points again. In this case, a person paints over 4 rows of cells - you should focus on your drawing.
Put down the points - and paint over them.
If necessary, you can paint over individual cells. As in the example of Figure 9.
We continue to draw
The contour of the future drawing is already clearly visible.
Puts down 9 more points parallel to the already filled line. Strokes, paints
In this case, you can observe the drawing of a ladder. A huge plus is that such a scheme is easy to repeat.
A few more cells are painted over, and now the future picture is already looming
This is the heart. It can be drawn separately, made larger. The circuit has already been shown in this manual.
The final stage. Color filling.
Using the example of this instruction, you can make sure that drawing by cells is easy. And, it is worth noting that the author of the above figure did not really try to do everything neatly. Therefore, you should not worry too much about small mistakes, they will later be painted over, and the overall picture will turn out exactly the way you want it to be.
Drawing on asphalt
When it comes to drawing on asphalt, many children's pictures come to mind - houses, suns, flowers. But in fact, many artists in the world specialize in 3D volumetric paintings. And they often draw them on the pavement in order to impress passers-by and make themselves known.
Such artists are called masters of optical illusions. Indeed, at first glance it is difficult to distinguish some paintings from reality. Naturally, to draw something like this, you need a lot of experience - both practical and theoretical.
Often, various large holdings order works from such artists. This kind of work pays very well.
How to draw three-dimensional pictures: theory and practice
First you need to make a sketch on paper. Naturally, you need to know the basics of drawing, in particular - academic. You should start with simple shapes, geometric shapes.
The 3D image "comes to life" when you change the angle of view. That is, if you look at the picture, for example, from above, it will seem voluminous. Moreover, if you look at it from below or from the side, then it will again become an ordinary flat pattern. This is the beauty of 3D images.
Volumetric drawing - perspective with a distorted angle of view
Tools you will need:
- pencils with leads of various hardness;
- eraser;
- A4 sheet;
- desk lamp;
- any object (the one that you will draw).
Naturally, you need to take something simple - for example, the same eraser. It must be put on a blank sheet, then turn on the table lamp and direct its light onto the paper. What should happen after performing these steps? The subject will begin to cast a shadow that can be later outlined.
This is how it looks in practice. The object casts a shadow, which, as a result, becomes a hint for the artist.
Similar tricks can be used by beginners. But, in fact, to draw complex three-dimensional paintings, you will have to learn all the theory that is taught in art schools.
The play of shadows and light is very important, because it is she who, coupled with the optical illusion, makes the drawing voluminous. Shadows should be soft, shaded.
At the very beginning, you need to choose the angle of view. That is, the angle from which a person will look at the picture. The angle of view during the drawing process cannot be changed, otherwise there will be no illusion of three-dimensionality of the image.
The position of the eyes or the angle is the basis of perspective
For greater effect, you can change the position of the sheet. It doesn't have to be straight, it's even better if it's oblique.
The correct position of the sheet to achieve the effect of "optical illusion"
The next steps are intuitive. The selected item must be circled from all sides. As a result, you will have the outline of the future drawing.
After the stroke, you need to place the object on the sheet again. It is necessary to designate all its corners. To begin with, you can simply put dots that will indicate the position of the corners.
Squint and look at the subject. This will make it easier to mark the corners.
The end result should be something like this. In this picture, the outline of the future drawing
You can constantly apply the selected object to the paper. So you can make sure that you are doing everything right or find and fix an error.
In practice, it looks like this. Drawn edges are marked in black
Upon closer inspection
Now we need to erase the inner rectangle. This is a rather interesting point, since the inner faces are only needed to build 3D.
Now you need to outline the shadow. To do this, the light of the lamp should be directed directly at the object.
Shadow work
The shadow must be carefully outlined. This is an important point all contours need to be outlined not too strongly. It is enough that they are visible to you.
The law of light-air perspective: the shadow will be double. You can see in the picture that it has a lighter part and a darker part. This also needs to be on paper. The shadow is divided into two parts: shadow and penumbra.
Next, we shade. To do this, you need to use the rule of shadow gradation. The subject must be placed next to the picture and carefully considered. Where does the subject have the lightest shadows, and where are the darkest? This should be shown in the picture.
Shade very carefully. You need to try to achieve the effect of feathered hatching.
Let's start shading
How to shade? In fact, this can be done with a finger or a crumpled piece of paper. Finger shading will be more convenient for beginners.
How to see where the subject has dark sides, and where is light? To do this, you need to look at him, squinting.
Where the tone is lighter than the sheet, you need to add colors to the sheet
After that, we mark the shadow with light hatching. Initially, the main shadow should be as soft as the penumbra. Then we will give it a darker color. Do not forget to shade everything.
After that, you need to put the object on the drawing again. It is necessary to designate the inner shadow (the darkest) and the outer penumbra. They can be separated from each other by a light contour. Next, you need to shade the inner shadow, thereby giving it a darker shade.
Add a few lines and strokes, after which our drawing comes to life
There is nothing complicated in this technique. The only downside is that it takes a lot of time. But this minus, in principle, applies to all varieties of fine art.
Watch a video on 3D drawings. With the help of this video you will be able to draw a three-dimensional butterfly.

Not everyone managed to graduate from art school in order to learn the technique of drawing. If you want to make a creative postcard or fill a diary with original drawings, learn to draw by cells. Small pictures by cells even beginners can do it. The main thing is to buy a notebook for mathematics with light paper.
How to draw by cells
Many people like to solve Japanese crossword puzzles, which are based on drawing by cells. If you have ready-made crossword puzzles or answers to them, you can simply redraw large figures in your notebook.
The best way is to use ready-made diagrams that have been specially designed for those who cannot draw. You can paint over the cells in your own notebook according to the scheme, and then surprise your loved ones with beautiful images.
Among the templates you will find
Look original fruits by cells. If you paint over the drawing well with bright felt-tip pens, then you can cut it out and use it for interior decoration or applique decoration.
If you want to make a postcard or describe a romantic story in your diary, then draw a heart by cells.
Sweets, bouquets, flowers - all this can be drawn in the cells.
If you master the principle, then you can draw anything you want in your own notebook.
Would you like to come up with your own drawing? Then make a light sketch, and then start turning it into a drawing by cells. It's best to start with an outline. Then you can highlight small details. Do not forget to note what color, what detail should be highlighted so that the drawing turns out to be bright and beautiful.
3D drawings by cells- this is a good way to spend interesting leisure time and realize your creative abilities.
Have you ever drawn by cells? Then be sure to try it. This activity will appeal to both young children and adults. Experts noted that this hobby develops creative thinking, coordination of movements when writing, concentration and logic.
