Drawing a person is not an easy and at the same time interesting task. For a child to want to learn how to draw people, you need to invent a story about the person who will need to be portrayed. This will involve the kid in the process, and the complexity of the task will be in the background.
Children love to draw characters from their favorite cartoons or characters from books. Therefore, it is worth asking the baby to depict them on a sheet of paper. If the child cannot choose, then he will definitely not refuse to draw his best friend or girlfriend.
It is important to come up with a story for the chosen character. For example, a friend Irina went to visit her grandmother and helped her to harvest. Grandmother gave her a kitten named Vaska, which will need to be taken care of. Together they had many incredible adventures.
Items that will be required for work
Before you start drawing, you need to prepare the following materials:
- a simple pencil;
- black gel pen;
- a sheet of white paper;
- colour pencils;
- eraser.
Getting started drawing
When everything you need is ready, you can start drawing. To begin with, a straight line is drawn in the middle of the sheet. If the child cannot do this, then a ruler can be used. Then the line is divided into two equal parts - at this point the belt will be located.
At the upper end of the straight line, you want to depict the head. In order for the baby to draw the head correctly, you need to explain to him that in its shape it resembles an egg, but upside down. After that, with the help of ovals, the body and pelvis are outlined.
The lower part of the line is also divided into two approximately equal segments. This is where the knees will be. With the help of lines, legs and arms are outlined, which should be bent at the elbow joint.
Next, a sketch is made of the outline of a skirt or dress, extending from the belt. At this stage, details are drawn in the girl's face and her hair. To keep the ears and eyes at the same level, you need to draw straight lines in advance.
Then the girl's legs and feet are drawn, while it is necessary to observe the proportions. When all the details are drawn, it is worth starting to the surrounding landscape. For example, the beds and crops that the girl and grandmother collected.
Coloring the drawing
When the picture is completely drawn, it is time to revive it with colored pencils. First you need to take a black gel pen and carefully trace the entire drawing. Then erase a simple pencil with a previously prepared eraser.
Next, the drawing is painted. A light pink pencil is suitable for the face, neck and hands of a girl, and a dark pink is ideal for cheeks and lips. The eyes can be blue and the hair brown. For the dress, you can take blue, purple or light blue.
Next, it remains to paint the surrounding objects and the landscape. Grass and trees can be painted with green pencils, the sky blue, flowers blue, pink and yellow. If a cat was drawn, then it can be made striped.
