The stories of distant magical lands, mighty kings, brave knights, conquering dragons for the sake of beautiful princesses will fascinate any child. In addition to entertainment, these tales can be used as a means of personal education. Fairy tales combined with illustrations have a particularly striking effect.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember books and cartoons from your childhood. What impression did you get from watching the vivid, immersive images? How did your fantasy and sense of beauty develop? Have you dreamed of being in the shoes of a brave knight or a charming princess? Create a fairy tale for your children by drawing illustrations for their favorite stories. Take some time for little dreamers and teach them how to draw characters from fairy tales.
Step 2
Take a close look at people and their images in pictures and photographs. Pay attention to the proportions of the human body: the head is about 9 times the size of a human being, the palm is slightly smaller than the face, the legs are longer than the arms and body, the arm span is approximately equal to or slightly smaller than it. Draw a sketch of a male body (if you are drawing a king or a prince) and a female body (for a princess drawing).
Step 3
The appearance of fairy-tale characters is often determined by their attitude towards "bad" and "good". Goodies are always endowed with radiant beauty, rich clothes of light, pleasant shades, a slender figure and a confident posture. At the same time, the knight certainly has broad masculine shoulders, and the princess has a fragile feminine figure and beautiful hair. Kings are most often portrayed as venerable elders who have not lost their dignity and courage - they look somewhat weaker than young knights, but proudly and beautifully.
Step 4
When coming up with an image of a fairy-tale character, choose clothes for him. Princesses in fairy tales are always dressed modestly, but very gracefully. Most often they are dressed in long silk dresses decorated with ribbons and flowers. Princesses wear a kokoshnik or tiara, beautiful hairstyles and elegant shoes. Princess clothes are most often blue or pink, there may be other delicate pastel colors. An affectionate smile completes the image of the beauty.
Step 5
A courageous knight is depicted in strong armor or rich clothing suitable for combat. An indispensable attribute of the prince is a long cloak and a sword. Knights are often depicted on horseback or in battle. At the same time, good knights wear light clothes, evil ones - dark and gloomy.
Step 6
The color of kings is traditionally purple or gold. Add to its entourage a velvet crimson color, a shining crown and noble gray hair. Endow the king with the attributes of royal power - a scepter and a throne.
Step 7
Dragons in fairy tales personify evil and are opposed to good heroes. Therefore, the color of the dragon will be dark green, dirty blue, bluish black, gray and other gloomy colors. You can add aggressiveness to the image of a monster with a bloody red or fiery orange. The dragon is noticeably larger than a man, has a scaly body with wings and sharp "fins", like those of fish. Draw sharp large teeth, bloodshot eyes, demonic wings, and a long tail like that of a scorpion. A dragon can have several heads, and they are capable of spewing fire.
