The atmosphere of a place and the character of the people living there can be conveyed without depicting the inhabitants. For example, the "Russian soul" can be breathed into a minimalistic drawing, which depicts only one modest-looking hut.
Instructions
Step 1
Place the sheet horizontally. Use a pencil line to define the space that the house will occupy. Divide the sheet in half with the horizontal axis, then lower it down by about 2 cm. At this level will be the lower border of the object. Leave the same amount of free space on the right and at the top, on the left it should be twice as much.
Step 2
Divide the distance from the right to the left border of the picture in half with the vertical axis. The corner of the house will pass through it, the back wall to the right of it, and the side wall to the left.
Step 3
Measure the length of the back wall of the house. Lay the same piece vertically on the left side of the sheet. This is the height of the house from this edge. On the right, it is one and a half times higher. Divide the height of the house on the right side in half. At this level, draw the border of the wall and roof. On the left, the wall should be slightly higher than the roof. Draw horizontal lines for the walls and roof. They are not parallel, but converge as they move away from the corner of the house to the sides.
Step 4
Draw a window on the left wall of the house. The same laws of perspective operate on its sides, they are not parallel to each other and are raised up more than the opposite sides of the wall. To check if you have correctly reflected the slope of a particular line, use the sighting method. Place the pencil over the line in the photograph, or hold it in front of a real object. Keeping the degree of inclination, place the pencil on the corresponding line in the drawing. Draw the attic window in the same way.
Step 5
Erase all the construction lines that you drew during construction. Trace the walls into their constituent logs. They also differ in width at the corner and at the opposite edge: they look narrower at the end.
Step 6
To the right and left of the house, outline the tree trunks. In the foreground, draw a rickety fence. Color the drawing with watercolors, gouache or pencils. The color of the tree changes on each log of which the hut is composed. On the left side it is not very noticeable, so you can fill the side wall with wide colored spots. On the right, you need to paint each log separately. The upper half has a warm brown tint, the lower half is gray-blue. On some boards, leave an almost white glare from the sun's rays coming through the tree tops.
