Drawings based on Russian folk tales. Drawing lesson on the topic “My favorite fairy tale” in the senior group

Many parents whose children go to school ask the question “How to draw an illustration for a fairy tale?” In an art lesson in a secondary school or in a composition lesson in an art school, people are often asked to draw fragments of fairy tales. The hardest thing is to come up with a plot. Graphic implementation is not a problem. The main thing is to get good at it and design all the illustrations for one work in the same style.

Features of the illustration

The most difficult thing in illustrating is choosing those pieces from the work that will be depicted in the book. Artists usually draw the main parts of novels: the beginning of the story, the climax and the conclusion. But, of course, you can illustrate a memorable and favorite moment.

How to draw an illustration for a fairy tale as detailed and clear as possible? Before creating a sketch, you need to read the work at least twice. The first time a person gets acquainted with the plot, and the second time he remembers details that do not catch the eye upon first reading.

What you need to pay attention to when illustrating a work:

• Appearance of the heroes. Before portraying antagonistic heroes, you need to remember the distinctive features of their appearance. A mole on the cheek or a scar on the forehead must be drawn, otherwise the main character will lose his individuality.
• Characters' clothes. It’s strange, but few people remember the description of the clothes of even the main characters. Therefore, before sitting down at the drawing table, you need to re-read the passages that describe the clothing.
• Interiors or exteriors complement any illustration, so descriptions of furniture or woods are of great importance. It is worth paying attention even to such little things as the bumps under the feet of the main characters or the worn carpet decorating the center of the room.
• Minor characters need less detailing, but do not forget that the friends of the main characters should be recognizable.

Graphic illustration

How to draw an illustration for a fairy tale in a graphic style? There are several techniques here:

• using a pencil;
• using mascara;
• using soft material (charcoal, pastel, etc.)

Decide what style the illustration will be done in. If you plan to painstakingly draw the smallest details, then take a pencil. If the drawing looks more like a sketch, a soft material will do.

Graphic works are difficult to make as effective as color ones. To achieve a good result, you need to draw an illustration of a fairy tale in stages.

1. The first step is to make a sketch of the fragment of the fairy tale you like.
2. The second step is layout. It is needed so that in the future all parts of the drawing fit into the limited space of the canvas.
3. The next stage is working out the details. This is a responsible mission and if children draw illustrations, parents should supervise this process.
4. The final part is applying light and shadow to figures and objects. The main thing is not to forget that the foreground with the main characters should be darker than the background.

Illustration using paints

How to draw an illustration for a fairy tale using paints? It's not difficult if you take the whole process step by step. For example, we need to draw an illustration for the fairy tale “The Snow Queen”.

To do this, let's break the work into parts:

• First of all, we find the point that needs to be illustrated. Let's take the plot as an example: The Snow Queen sits on the throne, and Kai plays at her feet.
• Decide on the appearance of the characters: will they have long or short hair, will they have snub noses, what color will their eyes be? It is advisable to re-read the description of the heroes in the fairy tale.
• Let's draw a sketch. Choose the poses in which the Snow Queen and Kai will sit.
• Now the fun part: think about the clothes the main characters are wearing.
• The last stage of the sketch is drawing the interior. Look through the fairy tale, be inspired by the atmosphere of the cold palace, find clues.
• After the sketch is made, transfer it to the final copy. Remember that there will be paint on top of the pencil. This is important if the illustration will be done in watercolor, so sketch out the final sketch with watercolor pencils.
• The final stage is coloring.

Combined technique

If you want to paint with several materials, you will have to combine several techniques. How to draw an illustration for the fairy tale “The Ugly Duckling”?

First you need to do everything by analogy with the plan for creating an illustration for “The Snow Queen”. When the drawing with paints is ready, draw in the details and shadows with ink. Pay special attention to the foreground. If the fairy tale is illustrated by children, then it is better to leave the faces of the characters undrawn.

It is impossible to imagine a children's book without colorful illustrations that develop the imagination of children and help them imagine the actions described by the author. The illustrator is, in fact, a co-author of the book. If a writer creates imaginary images, then an artist makes them visual. Art centers for children's development widely use illustration techniques in their work, which is a mandatory stage in the development of children's creative abilities.

It is recommended to start creating your first illustrations with Pushkin’s favorite fairy tales. It is very difficult to overestimate their educational significance, because Pushkin’s fairy tales introduce children to the enormous wealth of literary heritage, enrich speech, develop memory and imagination, and instill moral and moral values. Pushkin's unique poetry captivates children with its emotionality, simplicity of language and colorful literary images.

• Formation of skills to convey the expressiveness of an artistic image through color and shape.
• Development of independence in the selection of plot composition and performance technique.
• Practicing the skills of placing a plot drawing on an entire sheet of paper, isolating the main elements and emphasizing them with colors, play of light and shadow.

• Development of children's imagination and emotional attitude to the work and characters of the fairy tale.
• Consolidating the skills to use various visual materials: paints, pencils, wax crayons, etc.
• Moral education of children .

Preparatory work

Before starting to illustrate Pushkin’s fairy tales, children should delve as deeply as possible into the unique fairy-tale world. Preliminary work includes the following steps:

1. Reading a fairy tale.
2. Listening to a fairy tale on audio recording.

• Familiarization with illustrations made by famous artists (Mavrin, Konashevich).

1. Listening to excerpts from the operas of the same name (“The Golden Cockerel”, “Ruslan and Lyudmila”, “The Tale of Tsar Saltan”, “The Tale of the Priest and his worker Balda” and others).

Illustration is a rather complex process that requires special attention to little things that at first glance may seem insignificant.

• We choose a plot. For children's drawings, it is better to choose key moments from fairy tales (the transformation of the Swan Princess, the Old Man by the Sea calling the Golden Fish).
• Do not immediately transfer the image to a large sheet of paper. Try placing character figures and objects surrounding them on small leaves.
• Before coloring the drawing, choose a basic color scheme, remembering that the colors most accurately convey the general mood of the drawing.

Kids who don’t yet know how to draw, but love Pushkin’s fairy tales, can also be involved in creating illustrations, allowing them to color ready-made drawings. Children's coloring books based on Pushkin's fairy tales can be bought at a bookstore or downloaded from the Internet and printed on a printer. For the youngest children, choose large images. Be sure to explain to your child what is shown in the picture; you can even read an excerpt from a fairy tale corresponding to this illustration.

On the edge of the forest
I met a red fox.
- Hello, red fox,
Do you want me to sing, sister?
And the bun began to sing again.

Hello, sweet little bun.
You're singing well, my friend.
Only I'm already old
I became deaf in my ears,
Sit on my tongue
And sing it one more time.

So the bun did.
He got on her tongue
And he got ready to sing again.
I didn’t have time to open my mouth,
How he hit the fox in the stomach.
The fox didn't listen to him
And she took it and ate it.

Execution sequence:
Our fox will be bright orange. To do this, we mix orange and red paints on the palette.
Just above the middle of the sheet, draw a circle with a thick brush.

He was a braggart and a merry fellow
And he sang songs loudly,
With a cunning red fox
Still managed to cope!

Jumped very high
Grabbed the fox by the tail
And so he ran away,
Not so simple anymore!

For a very long time he was out of fear
Rolled head over heels
But suddenly the forest ended,
And here is a wonderful house!

Now pies live in it,
Candies, cakes, pretzels,
Cookies, gingerbread, pie
And with them - a brave bun!

All the forest people come to visit them
I started walking on Sunday
And the bun sang songs to them
And he treated me to jam!
