The simplest thing that you can draw with your child is an octopus. The first tool with which a kid can create a colorful and original masterpiece is his palm.
It is necessary
- - a set of finger paints;
- - watercolor paints;
- - brush;
- - pencil.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare a landscape sheet or cardboard. Choose your favorite color from the set of finger paints. Apply a layer of paint with a brush or small piece of sponge to the palm of your hand.
Step 2
Place your palm on a piece of paper. If the print is not very good, then fill in the unpainted areas with your finger. You can mix colors on your palm. You will get a multi-colored octopus.
Step 3
Take the drawing in hand and turn it over. You have an octopus with five tentacles. Draw the missing three tentacles.
Step 4
Take white paint. Dip your thumb in the paint and draw two eyes. Two fingerprints should be in the places where the octopus has eyes.
Step 5
Take black paint and dip your little finger in it. Add black dots to white prints. The octopus is drawn.
Step 6
Draw another octopus with a pencil. On a sheet of A4 paper, mark the main elements of the composition with thin lines.
Step 7
Start drawing with the outline of the octopus head. Use a smooth and thin line to draw an object that looks like a balloon or an electric lamp. The top of the head should be more voluminous. Draw the lower part slightly elongated. Don't make it very long. The transition from the head to the tentacles in octopuses is imperceptible.
Step 8
Draw some spots on the head to emphasize its marine habitat.
Step 9
Draw tentacles from the octopus's head. They should be thicker at the base than at the tips. Tighten the tentacles gradually. Draw them in a chaotic and voluminous manner. Create the illusion of an octopus moving.
Step 10
Draw small suction cups on the inner surface of the tentacles. Draw them as small circles.
Step 11
Draw the eyes for the octopus. They should be extended into ovals. Draw oval pupils inside each eye. Define the mouth of the octopus.
Step 12
Paint his eyebrows and color him. When painting, color the suction cups with a darker color than the color of the tentacles.
