Drawing autumn leaves for children using the poke method step by step with a photo. How to draw leaves in stages

How we love to draw nature, various landscapes, which often contain trees and shrubs, as an indispensable element of many landscape drawings. Trees and shrubs have leaves. They densely sit on the branches, rustle in the wind, sway, creating a pleasant coolness on a hot summer day. From the heat, lush foliage can shelter a weary traveler who has stopped to rest under a sprawling tent of tree branches. Leaves are different in their structure. Simple and complex, with different arrangement of veins - they are usually an integral part of every herbaceous plant. With the help of leaflets, plants receive nutrients, water is transported through the veins to all organs of the plant.

Acacia leaf. First, in the first part of our lesson, we will learn how to draw a complex sheet. Let it be a leaf of a well-known shrub - a yellow acacia. In botanical terminology, it is called unpaired pinnately dissected. In a pinnate leaf, leaf blades are always located on the main petiole opposite each other.

Stage 1. First, we denote the main petiole (leaf stalk) with auxiliary straight lines, from it we draw additional direct petioles, two in different directions.

Stage 2. We draw a clear line of the base of the main petiole.

Stage 3. On the first two straight lines, draw a lot of small leaves sitting on additional stems.

Stage 4. On the second two straight lines and on the main stem in front, we also draw a lot of small leaves. At the top of such a leaf is an unpaired leaf blade.

Stage 5. We erase the auxiliary lines, leaving only the main ones.

Stage 6. Outline the main contour of the leaves with a clear line.

Stage 7. Let's decorate our leaves, naturally, in green.

Lilac leaves. Lilac is a very beautiful shrub with clusters of small flowers of lilac, purple or white. Lilac has a very pleasant smell. It usually blooms in May. And then a wonderful unique lilac smell floats above the ground ... Let's try to draw the leaves of this beautiful shrub.

Stage 1. Lilac leaves are single, simple, they each sit on their petiole opposite each other (opposite). We draw a small, not very plump petiole.

Stage 2. From this petiole we draw two straight lines located opposite each other. These are the rods of future leaf blades. On each of them we will depict half of a semi-heart-shaped leaf blade.

Stage 3. Now, in the same way, we depict the second halves of the leaf blades. They also remind us of half a heart.

Stage 4. With clear bold lines we denote the median veins of each leaf. They are the largest.

Stage 5. From the median vein of each leaf blade, we show numerous veins that extend in different directions and create a patterned network on the sheet.

Stage 6. Now we erase all auxiliary lines, outline the remaining drawing clearly.

Stage 7. Let's color our leaves. It is a green color of various shades. The veins can be made gray, brown or black. Or maybe dark green.

Master class with a step-by-step photo "Autumn Leaves"

Bestik Irina Viktorovna, educator of KSU "Regional special (correctional) boarding school for children with hearing impairments"
Description: this master class on drawing autumn leaves using the “poke method” is intended for educators and primary school teachers, and can also be useful for teachers of additional education. Encourages students to get acquainted with the non-traditional technique of drawing autumn leaves and the development of fine motor skills.
Target: drawing autumn leaves using the poke method.
Tasks:
educational - to introduce students to the non-traditional technique of drawing autumn leaves, to teach children to draw with cotton swabs, to improve their skills in working with gouache.
Educational - to instill interest in this type of drawing technique, to cultivate aesthetic taste, to instill interest in creative work, to instill accuracy.
Educational - develop fine motor skills, develop students' creativity, imagination and fantasy.

Autumn leaves
The bright colors of the leaves sparkle -
The wind blows - they fly around ...
Like butterflies, the leaves flutter,
Spinning in the sky, flying, flying
They lie on the ground like a motley carpet
They rustle under our feet
Everyone is talking about autumn soon
(L. Schmidt)

Progress:

1. We print a leaf template on a landscape sheet.

2. We take a cotton swab, dip it in orange paint and circle the first leaf along the contour using the “poke method”. Apply gouache to the veins of the first leaf.

3. Take a new cotton swab and use yellow paint to fill in the background of the first leaflet. The first autumn leaf is ready.

4. We circle the contour and veins of the second leaflet with green paint using a cotton swab.

5. Now with a lighter green paint we fill the background of the second leaflet with a cotton swab. The second autumn leaf is ready.

6. We circle the contour and veins of the third leaflet with a “poke method” with red paint using a cotton swab.

7. Now with orange paint we carefully fill the background of the third leaflet with a cotton swab. The third autumn leaf is ready.

8. Our autumn leaves are ready. Now we begin to fill in the background of the work in this technique. We take blue paint and carefully, starting from the edge, fill the background of our work with a cotton swab. The background of the work should be non-uniform, and move from dark to light in any direction.

9. Our autumn leaves are ready.

10. Here is another option to work. You can cut the edges with scissors, forming a curly oval. Then it turns out that the fallen leaves are floating in a puddle.

We glue the work on colored cardboard for aesthetics and the work is ready.

Children's work.

Thank you for your attention, dear colleagues!

In this lesson, I'll show you how to draw a maple leaf with a pencil step by step. This is a simple lesson that even a beginner can handle.

Before drawing a complex shape, you must imagine how it works from the inside. For example, a maple leaf is not a simple figure. But if you study its structure, it will become much easier. Here is the maple leaf:

How to draw a maple leaf - an easy step by step drawing lesson

First, look at the maple leaf in the picture above. Think about its basic shape. Look at the stem. Notice how it continues to the tip of the leaf. Look at the "ribs" of the leaf. Think about the corners where they meet the stem. Now you can draw the main shape. Always try to see the basic shape first and leave the details for later. Follow the step by step instructions below.

1. Draw a square....then draw a stem through the center.

2. Look at the edges of the leaves. Imagine the corners where they abut against the stem. Note that they fold into a "V" at the top and sides of the sheet.

3. Now draw the outline of the sheet. You can refer to the square you drew in the first step.

To make it easier for you, the main lines are highlighted in color below:

3.1 At the bottom of the sheet, draw the shape of a flattened letter "W". At the top, draw an inverted "V".

3.2 Now draw 3 letters "J" (2 inverted).

3.3 Now draw the number "7" on the right and the letter "Z" on the left side of the sheet.

4. Now draw the outer corrugated shape of the edges of the sheet.

1. When drawing leaves, note that the vein goes into the stalk. Note also that the midrib of some leaves divides them exactly in half.
To draw a leaf, first draw an oval. Then draw a center line and lightly outline both halves. Check the accuracy of the drawing, and then draw the halves more clearly. Now add cloves along the edges of the leaf.
When coloring a leaf, remember that the veins are lighter than the leaf itself.

2. You can start drawing an oak leaf from an oval narrowed down. In the middle of the oval there is a vein that passes into the stalk of the leaf. The edges of an oak leaf resemble waves.

3. Let's start drawing a maple leaf by displaying its shape. Then you need to find the node of all leaf veins (the maple leaf has five main veins, around each of which there is, as it were, a separate leaf) and outline their direction. Then draw jagged edges.

4. Now let's try to draw a branch with leaves. First, consider it: how many leaves are on the branch, how are they located relative to the branch, what size are they, are they all visible in their entirety, what is the shape of the leaves, which leaves seem darker, which ones are lighter, are the leaves the same color? After answering these questions, proceed to the drawing according to the first scheme.
Starting the second stage, trace the direction of the veins and marginal notches on each sheet.
When painting over the drawing, display the volume and color of the leaves with light and shadow.

5. Drawing a tree must begin with a trunk. The trunk is the thickest part of the tree. The trunk is thinner at the top and thicker at the bottom. The branches are located along the trunk and directed upwards. The closer to the top of the tree, the shorter the branches of the tree.
After the trunk, draw large tree branches. They are drawn in the same way as the trunk: thinner at the top, thicker closer to the trunk. The branches on the trunk are at different distances.
Then we draw small branches that depart from large ones. A lot of them. Small branches are drawn with the same thickness - they are thin, but also stretch upwards for many trees.

6. One of the common trees we have is a birch. Before you draw it, take a close look at it. A feature of birch branches is that they are rather thin, bend, hang down, and thicker branches are divided into even thinner branches. When the wind blows, birch branches sway from side to side.

7. The silhouette of the Christmas tree resembles a triangle. When drawing it, it should be remembered that instead of leaves it has needles.

8. When drawing trees in a landscape, it should be taken into account that being far from the tree, we see only its general shape, which must be depicted.

Tree leaves are the simplest and most beautiful decoration of our planet. We only pay attention to this only in late autumn, when the leaves change their usual green color to gold, creating an unusual carnival of autumn colors and shades of nature. All leaves are unique and beautiful in their own way, but still, the maple leaf stands out from other leaves in size and shape. So let's try this lesson. draw leaves maple, more precisely one leaf. But it is enough to learn how to draw one leaf to draw a whole "bouquet" of leaves. By the way, multi-colored maple leaves painted on paper can become a stylish and bright decoration for your room. As always, we will perform the drawing in stages, first we draw the outline of the sheet with a simple pencil, and then paint it with paints or colored pencils.

1. Let's make the initial markup of the veins

Draw a horizontal line and from it draw with a simple pencil one vertical line in the center and one oblique line on each side. Do not make lines with a ruler, in nature there are no leaves that have the correct geometric shape.

2. Add small veins to the main veins

At this stage, you need to arbitrarily, observing a certain symmetry, draw small veins. Pay attention to the horizontal vein of the leaf, there are fewer branches on it. In general, if you draw leaves in summer or autumn, then take a few maple leaves in the park and carefully study their structure. If you draw them "from nature", then leaf pattern will be very realistic.

3. Maple leaf shape

It is not difficult to circle the drawn veins with one solid line, not necessarily copying my drawing. The main thing is to draw sharp corners on the edges and make noticeable gaps between the parts of the sheet. Usually the leaves have a solid shape, with barely noticeable gaps, and maple leaves seem to consist of several segments. This is what distinguishes them from the leaves of other trees.

4. Drawing of a maple leaf in detail

Draw thickenings for the main leaf veins. The stem for any leaves must be made noticeably thicker than the veins at the base. Finish drawing the bottom outline of the leaf shape, and move on to the next step.

5. How to draw leaves. Final step.

You can see that drawing leaves is not difficult at all. It is important to draw fine details correctly and draw the shape accurately so that the leaf in your drawing does not look oblique or crooked. Add some more small strokes to the drawing and you can color the resulting maple leaf drawing with paints or colored pencils.

6. Leaves are best painted with colored pencils

I always make shadows with a simple pencil at the last step of the drawing. You don't have to do this, especially since leaf drawings they will look great if you color them with colored pencils. Of course, you can paint with paints, but it is very difficult, without experience, to preserve small details and not "paint over" them. To prevent the leaf from looking lonely, draw a few more, a little smaller, next to it, at the same time give them any shade of autumn colors of falling leaves.

There is no need to observe special "geometry" in the drawing of a birch, the leaves do not need to be carefully drawn, it is only important to draw the trunk and branches correctly so that they do not turn out to be of the same thickness and taper towards the edge.

Tree branches should be evenly spaced along the trunk and stretch upwards towards the sun, and also have many small branches with leaves inside. Leaves on a tree are difficult to draw. Firstly, they must be of a certain shape and, most importantly, there are too many of them.

The painted leaves will look much more "alive" if you draw a ladybug crawling along the leaf. Its size is small and will not distract attention, and bright coloring will give the picture a new color.

To begin with, remember that a rose consists of petals adjacent to each other. This is the biggest difficulty in drawing. In order for the rose to look real, many details must be accurately drawn. Be sure to draw leaves that have a juicy green color, stem and thorns.

A drawing of a camomile, probably, will be able to draw everyone. A few petals, draw leaves, a stem and a picture of a camomile is ready. But for some reason, painted daisies do not always turn out like real ones. The reason is that you start drawing a daisy with petals.

Drawing an apple only at first glance seems to be a simple matter. But this is not so, because in order for the drawing of an apple not to look like an irregularly shaped circle with a tail, the shape of the apple must be voluminous. And in order for the apple to create the effect of freshness, you need to draw leaves or at least one leaf and a few drops of water on them.
