Tanks, helicopters, "Katyushas" and other military equipment are very fond of drawing not only boys, but also adult men. This process is fascinating and requires a lot of attention and concentration.
It is necessary
A sheet of paper, a pencil, an eraser, materials for work in color
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the landscape materials you need for the job. Place a sheet of paper horizontally or vertically, depending on the choice of a military vehicle. Also determine whether you will draw from memory or make a copy from another image. The last option is appropriate, since military equipment has many small details, which can be omitted inaccuracies in the drawing.
Step 2
With a simple pencil, start sketching. Indicate the general shape of the car with light strokes. Use geometric shapes in the sketch - rectangles, squares, triangles, circles to represent caterpillars, wheels, hull, cockpit, etc. An important point - if you are drawing a technique in projection (when the object is seen from more than one side), then take into account the perspective (parallel the lines must cross "on the horizon").
Step 3
Start drawing the main details by "trimming" the geometric shapes. Round off the corners, draw windows, notches, etc. After a little refinement, go over the drawing with an eraser and erase the auxiliary lines.
Step 4
Proceed to refine the drawing. For example, tank tracks will not have a flat surface, they have jagged edges. Also gradually add small details - windows, nets, headlights, valves and much more. Note that some parts will need to be drawn in perspective (unless your model is frontal). At this stage, come up with and sketch out the background - forest, desert, battlefield, etc.
Step 5
Next, choose - will you finish the drawing in color or limit yourself to light shading. In the latter case, apply the strokes in the shape of the car, in places of the shadow use cross-hatching. After applying it with an eraser, you can paint highlights on the metal case. Then highlight the foreground.
Step 6
When working with paints, first fill in with a general color, and then gradually lighten or darken the necessary places. But start over with the background. Once you've applied the color, you can stroke with a thin black felt-tip pen or helium pen to create a crisp finish.
