Children are better able to perceive useful information when it is supported by a picture or object. Therefore, when telling your child about flora and fauna, draw illustrations for the "lecture". If you are unsure of your drawing abilities, draw the simplest chamomile. This picture will become not only a useful guide, but also a decoration of the room.
Instructions
Step 1
Take green pastel paper. Choose a shade that is close to the grass in the photo. Place the paper horizontally.
Step 2
Divide the sheet with the vertical and horizontal axes into four equal parts. From the point of intersection of the axes, step back a little to the right and up, put a mark - here the center of the flower will be located.
Step 3
Determine the size of the flower. Divide the width of the sheet of paper into four sections. Set aside half of the resulting distance to the right and left of the center of the chamomile. The height of the most "main" chamomile in the picture is equal to 2/3 of its width. Outline the dimensions of the flower with an ellipse (slightly noticeable line).
Step 4
With an oval flattened at the top and bottom, mark the center of the chamomile. This part of the flower is one third of its entire width, and its height is one third of the total height of the flower.
Step 5
Draw the petals. Please note that the shape and size of each is individual. Those that are closer to the viewer, in the lower part, seem to be wider at the very end, the distant upper ones - at the base, and the lateral ones expand at the level of the center. Make the upper and lower petals shorter than the side ones.
Step 6
Using curved lines to the left, outline the stem of the chamomile. Balance the composition with a scattering of flowers on the left, right and background. These daisies are shorter so they look smaller. Mark their outlines with light strokes and draw the cores in the form of cylinders.
Step 7
Color the drawing with dense materials such as acrylics or oil pastels. Use different shades to reproduce the natural whiteness of flowers. Reflexes from green grass, yellow cores and bluish light reflections can be seen on the petals.
Step 8
Since the tone of the paper already resembles grass, you just have to draw in detail the blades of grass in the foreground. Do it with thin lines that are darker in tone than the paper. In the background, add blurry semitransparent spots lighter and darker than the paper to create the effect of a three-dimensional picture and show that different areas are not equally lit.
