Draw a snowman

Even a kid of 3-4 years old is able to draw 3 circles installed on top of each other, draw hands from branches, a nose from carrots and a toothless smile. Our task is to make this simple job more expressive and festive.

1. Invite your child to draw a snowman in profile. Can be in full height, and you can only one head. Build an unusual hat on your head, and put it on your nose Christmas tree toy or plant a bird. Now it’s clear what causes the snowman’s cute smile. You can paint on pink cheeks for him and point his nose not straight, but down diagonally. So we get a touching facial expression.
2. Let the kid draw the snowman's head at the bottom of the picture, and point the nose straight up. In the upper part of the work, you can depict the sky and snowflakes, which our winter character looks at with such curiosity. His hand raised to the sky in the form of a twig just wants to touch the delicate snowflake.
3. The snowman can be wrapped in a warm colorful scarf. Its long end, reaching to the ground, warms little bunny with long ears, who made friends with the big snowman.
4. You can imagine how a snowstorm with a bunch of snowflakes takes away the snowman's hat, and he, with eyes round in surprise, reaches for it with his hands.

Draw with bulk paint

A lot of snow always delights the little ones. He wants to touch, sculpt, measure the depth of a snowdrift and, of course, draw. But how to convey not only its color, but also its volume? Using a mixture of PVA glue and shaving foam. We take these components equal amounts, mix and create! With the help of this airy paint, magic comes out:

• snowdrifts:
• snowmen;
• landscapes;
• White bears.

In addition, glitter can be added to this mass, and then the picture will simply shine. To complete the drawing, first draw the contours with a pencil, and then proceed to coloring.

Depicting snowfall with splashes

White splashes on a blue background are a great way to depict snowfall or a blizzard. And if you still use cardboard stencils, then the drawing will excite the imagination. Just cut out the silhouettes of houses or polar bears in the north with your baby, place them on a sheet with a dark blue gouache background and sprinkle with a toothbrush dipped in white paint! Here's what you get:

How to convey the light emanating from multi-colored New Year's light bulbs? We will need:

• blue, purple or black sheet of paper;
• colored crayons;
• cardboard stencil in the shape of light bulbs.

Draw on the sheet with a light marker or felt-tip pen the wire and bulb holders. Then attach a stencil to each cartridge and circle with chalk. Do not remove the stencil and rub the outline of the chalk with your finger or a piece of cotton wool. Get an imitation of light. Do this for each cartridge. Instead of crayons, you can take graphite colored pencils. Here's what should happen:

In the same way, you can circle the silhouettes of houses, church domes and the moon in the sky. Get a mysterious city. You can also try to portray the northern lights.

"Salty" snow

To enhance the elegant look of falling snow in the picture, sprinkle salt on the still wet snowdrifts or snowfall. When the paint dries, shake off the excess salt. The drawing will acquire an unusual texture.

We draw New Year's stories

Children 7 years and older will be able to draw a picture with complex plot. It can depict several characters at once, united by one idea. How do you like the modern Santa Claus, who got to his destination by car?

How to draw a SNOWMAN

(simple ways)

In our New Year's drawings, we are used to depicting a snowman in the form pyramids of three topped with a rectangle-bucket. Persistent stereotype.

But it's the same as portraying a person only " at attention, hands at the seams". If seasoned artists depict a person in the most different angles and poses, then young artists can depict their snowman from the same angles.

Here is an example portrait drawing snowman. We draw only the head of a snowman, in a creative hat and add a plot New Year's zest to our drawing - for example, we hang a Christmas ball on a carrot nose.

You can put a bird on the snowman's nose. Or try to portray a lively emotion on the snowman's face - rosy cheeks, a tilt of the head, a soft smile - and notice the direction of the carrot. It is not necessary to draw a carrot strictly sideways horizontally. A carrot drawn down and sideways (diagonally) gives the snowman a touching look. And a New Year's hat with a pompom will add the spirit of the New Year to our drawing.

Our portrait of a snowman can have a lively emotion - he can look at a flying snowflake with touching tenderness. Or pull a paw-twig to the falling snow and throw back your head for a long time to look into the skies generous with snow.

Snowman portrait can have touch of solidity- a high hat, a clear symmetry of the nose and an elegantly tied scarf. Or the snowman in the New Year's drawing can be an unintelligent bumpkin catching his hat blown off by the wind in mid-flight. Good work for the competition of children's New Year's drawing.

Here is an example of a New Year's drawing-portrait of a snowman - simple and step by step tutorial.

New Year's stories

with a snowman and a bird.

A drawn snowman can hold a small bird in his hands. If you draw well with gouache, then you can draw such a bright snowman in a knitted hat and a woolen scarf - with a red bird in his hand.

And if you are a novice artist, then you can depict the same touching story with a bird in watercolor. And then with a black pencil draw a clear silhouette contours and small parts in the form of buttons and a nest with a sparrow. Very touching New Year's drawing.

like this New Year's duet of a snowman and a bullfinch bird even a child can draw. simple shapes, and a slight overlay of shadows along the cap (on the one hand, darkening, on the other side of the cap, highlighting with white - this creates a visual volume-bulge). And we also apply light shadows around the snowman's face - add a little light gray-blue color to the white - and with this "blue" white we draw shadows around the circumference of the snowman's face - so we get the effect of a convex spherical face.

And here is the idea of ​​​​a New Year's drawing for the same plot, where the bird sleeps wrapped in the tip of a long snowman scarf

Snowman with a friend teddy bear.

And here's another drawing oil on canvas. And you can gouache draw the same. First, draw simple silhouettes ... then paint over each element in its main color (white, green, light brown) in one color. And then we add additional shadows to each color (a darker shade of the same colors shade the belly of the snowman near the scarf and the circle around the bear's nose). And then with white gouache and an almost dry brush we add a white spray on the muzzle and belly of the bear and the snowman's hat and scarf.

That is, you just need to carefully look at the sample and poke with a shaded brush into the same places where shadows are superimposed on our New Year's drawing. And continue until your drawing looks like the original.

And here's another simple examples New Year's drawings with a snowman. On the left photo, the snowman holds branches in paws christmas garland from light bulbs. A simple silhouette - simple shadows of a light blue tint on the snowman's rounds. And whitish strokes of white paint over the black silhouette of the hat. Everything is simple, if you look closely and figure out exactly how it's done.

And here is the right photo above - GIRL wraps a snowman in a scarf. It seems that the drawing is complicated, but in fact - everything is simple. Let me describe how to make such a New Year's drawing for a school competition with my own hands. For each of you to CLEARLY AND CLEARLY REALIZE that the most complex drawings in fact, they are created in very simple and understandable steps. As in principle, any work is done about general principle– start, continue and finish. So it is with drawings. So let's see how simple steps a complex New Year's plot of the drawing is born.

MASTER CLASS: How to draw a snowman.

STEP 1 - You must first divide a sheet of paper into a white and blue background - cover it with gouache. Dry this background.

STEP 2 - draw a silhouette of a snowman with white gouache. Dry and add blue uneven shadows on the white sides of the snowman. As they smeared the shadows, they smeared them - evenness is not needed here. Dry.

STEP 3 - With a pencil, draw the silhouette of a girl. The lines are simple. But if you doubt your abilities, then you can copy the girl’s template directly from the screen of your laptop onto a sheet of paper placed on the screen and transfer it to your canvas under carbon paper. If you need to enlarge the screen girl size, you press buttonctrl with one hand and the other hand at the same time roll the mouse wheel forward– the image on the screen will be enlarged. Wheel back - will decrease. And if the image, when enlarged, went sideways beyond the border of the screen, then the “left / right” arrows on your keyboard will help move the screen.

STEP 4 - Paint over each element of the girl with your own color - carefully with a thin brush, slowly.

STEP 5 - Dry the girl's face and then carefully draw a bang on it with an almost dry brush. Draw the eyes, mouth and blush on the cheeks with the reverse tip of the brush handle.

STEP 6 - Then draw scarf lines around the snowman. Color it red. Dry - and on the scarf (and on the girl's hat too), with a thin brush of white gouache, apply a pattern of white stripes and crosses.

STEP 7 - Draw small silhouettes. Nose, eyes, smile and snowman buttons. Girl's coat pocket. Rope ties at the girl's hat.

STEP 8 - In the background, along the horizon line, draw dark silhouettes of houses and trees. Put blue shadows on the snow under the snowman and under the girl.

As you can see, everything is simple. If you decompose all the work in stages - into simple and understandable steps. In order not to overwork, you can do the first 3 steps in one evening, and leave the rest of the steps for the second evening. So it is more pleasant to work - without fatigue and stress.

Snowmen busy

You just need to look carefully and understand what steps you need to take in turn to end up with this image (gouache, watercolor, or colored crayons). The main thing is not to rush and let one painted element dry before painting over the second.

Below is a fairly simple gouache drawing made by children's hands. It just seems complicated - because it has a lot of small black drawings (black dashes on a scarf, rounded curls on fur, loops on balls. But in fact, look carefully at each element - and you will understand how simple it is.

STEP 1 - First, paint over the background of the sheet with blue gouache - stains and stains are welcome - let the background color be uneven.

STEP 2 - The penguin itself is a regular oval. First it was painted with white gouache. And then they made a black thick stroke around the edges (with a call to the ledges of the wings).

STEP 3 - Then draw a white cap - wait for it to dry - and apply stripes on it different color in turn. Then we draw a scarf - also with white gouache - dry it, and apply stripes.

STEP 4 - Draw a New Year's staff on top with white color - dry it - and apply red oblique stripes on it.

How to draw a New Year's deer.

Most simple images deer is a DEER FROM TWO PALM (left picture in the picture below). Or a deer FRONT VIEW. Everyone drew such a deer in childhood (a ball of a face, leafy ears, horns, twigs, and two columns of legs with hooves).

You can paint a deer in a sitting pose with paints (a round belly-pouch, two front legs hang down on the sides, and the lower legs are moved apart a little to the sides).

And your deer can be funny fat guy. A sort of well-fed Santa Claus, a copy. It’s generally easy to draw such a deer yourself - its figure resembles an inverted coffee cup - add short legs with hooves, a red nose - eye points, and cute horns. Highlighted belly (in the form of an arch), hat and scarf. Everything is simple and affordable.

Your New Year's drawing does not have to contain the ENTIRE DEER BODY - from antlers to hooves. You can limit yourself to a very schematic (triangular) image of a deer head - as in the left picture below.

Or draw a deer head in a CUT-OFF VIEW (as if he is looking out the corner of his nose into your window) - as in the right picture below

How to draw NEW YEAR

in the city, on the street.

And if you want to draw a NEW YEAR on the streets of the city, a festive atmosphere, cozy winter streets, Christmas trees in the city squares, then here's another selection of ideas for such New Year's drawings.

Please note that all objects here are painted with paints. Then around the lines of the houses is done stroke with a narrow gray frame along the paint contour(so that the elements of the picture become more contrasting and the picture acquires a general stylization). The silhouettes of passers-by are round spots of faces, and trapezoidal silhouettes of jackets (just a spot of the jacket is put on with paint). Then, when the jacket silhouette dries, we take black marker(or a marker) and on the spot of the coat we draw cut elements, pockets, a collar, buttons, a belt, cuff lines, etc.). In the same way, we highlight with a black marker fine drawing elements– lines of tiles on the roof, window frames, etc.

If the size of a sheet of paper is not large, then it will be difficult to place a whole street with houses. You can limit yourself to a Christmas tree in the square and draw several children.

But great idea New Year's drawing, where children are skating.

And here is another idea for the New Year's city. True, here the city is depicted not in the figure, but in the form textile applications. But the compositional idea of ​​\u200b\u200barranging the houses and the Christmas tree in the picture.

You can draw a city VIEW FROM ABOVE, as if from the wing of an airplane. And then place on the wide dome of the sky Santa Claus flying on a sleigh.

Or you can not draw a crowded and multi-domestic city, but simply draw a small forest hut and an elegant Christmas tree nearby. And the departing Santa Claus, who had just left his gifts under the tree.

These are the ideas of New Year's drawings that I have collected for you today in one pile. I hope that your drawing for the competition to school will turn into a happy family gathering with brushes and paints. I wish everything worked out - in a magical New Year's way.

Ideas for children's New Year's drawings for children

Of course, the most important characters in children's drawings on the New Year theme are Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. It is they who participate in all theatrical performances on the theme of the New Year and bring such long-awaited gifts that the kids are happy to take out from under the Christmas tree.

You can draw in different ways. Today, each child has his own vision of these characters, so their image may differ significantly. As a rule, Grandfather Frost is depicted in a bright red fur coat, warm mittens and felt boots, while the Snow Maiden, in turn, is “dressed up” in a beautiful blue robe.

The invariable attributes of Santa Claus in children's drawings are his long white beard, staff and a large bag with gifts, and in most cases his granddaughter is drawn with a long braid. In addition, these characters are often depicted on a sleigh pulled by deer.

Another heroine of New Year's drawings is elegant Christmas tree, which is installed in every home shortly before the arrival of a magical night. The smallest children draw this green beauty schematically, while the older children try to ensure that their Christmas tree is no different from a real fluffy forest spruce.

Also, many boys and girls love to draw big and small snowmen. On the face of this character, you can depict a funny smile, small eyes and a nose in the form of a carrot, and on the head - a bucket or any other object that imitates a headdress.

In some cases, the theme of a child's drawing is simply a snow pattern, which is easiest to depict using watercolor or gouache. Often such pictures are drawn on glass or mirrors.

Usually, children's drawings on a New Year's theme, made with paints or a pencil, are drawn up in the form greeting cards, which in the future the child can give to his friends, relatives or teachers. In this case, the drawing itself can be drawn directly on a sheet of cardboard, or you can glue the finished picture to the template. In addition, to create a full-fledged postcard, you will have to add congratulation text, which can be printed on a computer or handwritten.

Any drawing can depict not only popular new year characters, but also the plot situation in which they participate. For example, a child can draw other children dancing around a smart Christmas tree, parents presenting a gift to their son or daughter, and so on.
