Draw a construction helmet icon.
Soldiers are brave strong men who defend their homeland. This is the pride of the country and its citizens. So if you want to learn fine arts, then it will be very cool to figure out how to draw a soldier.
Soldier at the border post
Border guards are the guys who keep the country's borders locked and prevent intruders and criminals from entering its territory. In a word, they make it very difficult and useful work. And if there are border guards in your family, they will be very pleased if you learn how to draw a soldier with a pencil.
First, let's draw the employee's face. It will be wide, high-cheeked, rough, but very kind. We’ll also immediately draw the man’s small ears and a cap on his head.
Then we will draw a powerful neck and collar of the jacket.
After that we will make his torso and arms. Broad shoulders, rolled up sleeves, a belt with a large buckle - oh, and he must be strong! One hand rests on the side, and the other is set to the side.
Then we will draw the legs - short, powerful, with boots shod on them.
Then we will draw a low column. It means that this is where the border services post is located.
At the next stage, we will take up brushes, pencils or felt-tip pens. Let's make the column green and red, the soldier's uniform khaki.
Now that's it, we have completely completed the task.
Young recruit in a helmet - learning to draw
As you know, all military personnel are divided into two large categories - contract and conscript employees. And if in the first category you can meet people of all ages (as a rule, there are even more older generation), then in the second - very young guys. It is from the example of such young recruits that we will learn how to draw a portrait of a soldier.
First of all, let's outline the oval of the face, ears and two small black eyes.
Then we'll add the nose and mouth. Judging by the expression on his face, the fighter is very dissatisfied with something. We’ll also “put” a helmet on his head for safety purposes.
At the next stage, we will draw a thin neck, two collars - from a T-shirt and from a jacket.
Now - shoulders, belt and rifle over the shoulder. The fighter is ready!
Russian soldier in full equipment
The banner of the Motherland plays very well for the soldier important role. This is a symbol of their country, a symbol of everything that is dear to their hearts. That is why we will depict a flag in the next picture. And at the same time we will learn how to draw a soldier step by step.
First, let's draw the fighter's head and shoulders. Wide cheekbones, a stern facial expression, a helmet, powerful shoulders - everything, as befits a real warrior.
Then we outline the torso. It will also be quite powerful. Pay attention to the special protective pads on the chest and arms.
At the next stage, we will draw the fighter one leg in a heavy boot and “give” a rifle into his hands.
In the other hand is a flag with three stripes. Obviously this will be a flag Russian Federation. Let's also draw his second leg.
Now let's add some color to our picture. The soldier's uniform will be green and his protective pads will be black. And the flag, as expected, is white, blue and red.
The picture is ready - everything turned out just great!
English soldier during the First World War
In the 20th century, many armed clashes took place around the world, but most of all, humanity was shocked by two terrible wars, later called World. In the first of them, which lasted from 1914 to 1918, Great Britain, among others, took part. Today we will try to draw a drawing of a British army soldier during the First World War.
In the first step we will draw the head. A brushed mustache, small black eyes and a peculiar headdress - before us is a real English gentleman.
Then we will depict the torso in long jacket and hands holding the rifle tightly. This one certainly won’t give up without a fight!
Let's draw the backpack on the back and add details to the jacket: pockets, buttons, etc.
Now let's add his feet in retro boots with round toes. And the waves on the floor are the spreading poisonous gas used in that war.
Let's add flowers. All of them will be shades of beige and khaki. Yes, this is understandable - army uniform you're not supposed to be bright.
That's all, the drawing is finished.
Surely your children know who soldiers are. After all, many books and poems have been written about these valiant warriors. And on the street, a person in uniform is not uncommon. Well, let's learn how to draw a soldier easily and simply.
First let's draw round face a fighter and a cap with a visor and a star in the middle.
Then we’ll add a short, straight-cut peacoat.
Then - legs in straight trousers and black boots.
At the finish line, we’ll paint the soldier’s uniform green and make the star red.
Now the picture is ready - you are just great!
From the title it is already clear what we will talk about. We will study how to draw war with a pencil step by step. It won't be star Wars and Darth Vader and not even a shooter game, but a real war! Three soldiers in a trench, from heaps military equipment. In order to draw all this, you will need a lot of knowledge about military affairs. You can, of course, sit down to play WoT, but in the end you won’t draw anything. Who doesn’t know this is such a super action game with the participation of tanks, which has gathered a huge number of gamers in our country. By the way, the yellow-faced Chinese are no less interested in this. It seems that half of their population goes in for sports, judging by the number of Olympic medals in 2012, but the second is mired in the whirlpool of online games. For the fact that half of our population has been staring at the LCD monitor for two years now, at the same time managing to stain the gaming mouse with greasy fingers from dinner and pour coffee on the keyboard... let’s all say “Thank you” to Wargaming! Although God bless him. Now let's take a break from tanks and try to draw military actions with the participation of real ones. There are five steps ahead.
How to draw a war with a pencil step by step
Step one First, let's outline the people in motion. Head, position of the torso, arms, legs. 
Step two Now let's think about what will be around our soldiers: this is a fence, stones, logs. Let's show their outlines. 
Step three Let's dress our combatants: helmet, pants, boots. Let's equip one of them with a bag. Let’s draw the face profile of the one closest to us. We will surround the fence with barbed wire. 
Step Four Let's add details: barbs on the wire, belts on people's clothes, a spatula, etc. 
Step five Let's do the shading. There are darker areas on the clothing at the folds. Let's darken the areas on the pillars. Well, here are the soldiers against the backdrop of a military and completely unpicturesque landscape. 
See similar military equipment drawing lessons.
Step 1. We will use this photo as a basis. This is not the most best photo, but it can be used to define the basic shapes of a future helmet icon.
Step 2. To begin, cut out the helmet image from the background. This can be done with a tool Pen Tool (Feather), Lasso(Lasso) or in any other way convenient for you. Then copy this photo into a new document and resize the image according to your future icon, for example 128x128px. You can create, for example, a new 128x128px document and transfer the helmet image to it, but I recommend using a document bigger size to have more space for drawing.
Step 3. Let's choose a tool Pen Tool(Feather) and outline each part of the helmet. Let's start with the visor. Before stroke, do not forget to select in the Tool Options panel Pen Tool(Feather) first icon Shape Layer(Shape Layer) so that you can edit this layer in the future.
Please note that we are simply tracing the edges of the visor, it is not necessary to trace it very precisely (we will adjust it later).
Step 4. Create the second part of the visor by copying the previous layer with the command (Ctrl + J). And move the selected points up with the tool Direct Selection Tool(White arrow).
Step 5. Then outline the main part of the helmet as shown below.
Step 6. Don't forget about the protrusion of the middle strip (enlarged in the next screenshot). You don't have to be afraid to make it bigger, as the protrusion will add volume to the helmet.
Step 7 Draw the side of the stripe on a new layer (see screenshot). Start with the right part - which is in the shadow.
Step 8. Then duplicate this layer (Ctrl + J) and use the tool Direct Selection Tool(White arrow) move the points from right to left. Thus, right part The shape fits perfectly with the left side of the previous layer.
Step 9 We are ready to begin the next stage. Hide the photo (or move it to the side), you can now see that the basic shape of our icon is done. You should have five shape layers. I will address them in the order they were created from 1 to 5.
Step 10 Hide all layers except the first one and fill this layer yellow(#FFDF14). Next, create a new layer (Ctrl + Shift + Alt + N), and group it with the previous one (Ctrl + Alt + G). In this screenshot, this is layer (2). In this layer we will make several strokes with a large soft brush with more dark color(#D59D00) so the layer will be darker on the right side. Next, load a layer selection (4), invert the selection (Ctrl + Shift + I), create a new layer (3) and again use a large soft brush to create a shadow on the right side (#3B1C02).
Step 11 Make the layer visible (4), and set the opacity to 50%. This way you can see the shadow from the previous layer - slightly pronounced. At this point the visor is done and we can continue working on the rest of the helmet.
Step 12 Now, display the main part shape and fill it in yellow(#FDDB13). Again, create a new layer, group it with the previous one (Ctrl + Alt + G), and in the marked areas (see screenshot), use a large soft brush with a darker color to make a very large shadow...
Step 13 Unhide the middle stripe layer, color it dark yellow (#AA6F00) and add layer mask. In this mask, paint with a large black soft brush (as shown below), the shadow effect will only be visible on the edges.
Step 14 Display the last layer, the main part of the stripe. Repaint it yellow (#FBD500). In this step you can also darken main part helmet to match the picture.
Step 15 To make the helmet shape more defined, use this simple technique: Give each helmet shape a one-pixel stroke.
Start with the second layer of the visor. Load a selection (Ctrl+click on the layer), create a new layer and select the Stroke function from the Edit menu. Set the width to 1px, color white.
Step 16 Add a layer mask and fill it with black. Then select a large soft brush and, while in the layer mask, paint where you want the light to shine.
Step 17 Use the same method for other shapes.
Step 18. Draw shadows on other parts of the helmet in places where the contrast between parts of the helmet is too low.
Step 19 To make the icon better, you can add a highlight with a different color.
Load a selection of all shape layers (Ctrl + Shift - click on layers). Create a new layer, select Select > Modify > Contract(Select - Modify - Shrink) at 1px, use a large soft one brush to draw the highlight as shown by the arrows. Use any color you like: blue or purple work well.
Step 20. Create a new layer, select a tool Pen Tool(Pen), in the options bar, turn on the middle square Paths(Outlines) and draw window shapes.
Step 21 Duplicate this layer (Ctrl + J) and blur it with a filter Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur(Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur) and set a small radius.
Step 22 Now use a large white soft brush to make a few strokes (as shown below) to give some light to the windows.
Step 23 That's all! Let's look at our final version.
As you can see in this picture, the helmet is more pronounced on dark background, so don't be afraid to experiment and try to create icons from different photos. Good luck in your work!
Hello! In today's lesson we will tell you how to draw a Soviet soldier.
The fact is that this topic concerns each of us - after all, “there is no family in Russia where its hero is not remembered.” Taking this opportunity, I would like to ask every reader whose heroes are alive and well to express to them your attention, recognition and care.
This article is being written on the eve of a great holiday - Victory Day, but we would really like our Heroes to receive congratulations and respect not only on this important day, but also all the other 364 days of the year. Call yours and your grandmothers, provide all possible assistance in everyday matters, inquire about their health, give them a cool complex drawing, which you personally created in their honor. The team of our site can help you with the last point - let's start drawing a real Hero - the Soviet Soldier!
Step 1
This lesson is quite complicated, but we will start drawing it with a very simple stickman - a man made of sticks and circles. However, do not be deceived by its simplicity - the fact is that this stage is the most important of the entire lesson, because mistakes made here will be very difficult to correct in the future. Before we start drawing a stickman, let’s remember the basic rules of body proportions: a person’s height is equal to the sum of the lengths of about 7 heads, with 3 of them falling on the torso (from the neck to the waist), and 4 on the legs. The arms, extended at the seams, reach the middle of the distance from the waist to the knee joint, and the width of the torso is equal to the sum of two heads (also in width).
However, be extremely careful at this stage, because the soldier is not standing in full height(as for example, in one of our lessons), but takes a position immediately before the shot - leans on his knee and takes aim.
Pay attention to the features - the arms seem too short, but this is an illusion arising from their folded position and the lack of volume at this stage against the background of the head. By the way, the head should be pulled into the shoulders, that is, the neck will not be visible here - again, this visual effect arises due to the soldier’s non-standard “aiming” pose.
Step 2
Now let's work on it a little top part our drawing. Let's draw a helmet line at the top of the head, mark the remaining lower part with two lines - a vertical one, which will indicate facial symmetry (note that it is slightly beveled to convey the tilt of the head) and the line of the eyes perpendicular to it.
Let's also draw part of the silhouette of the helmet and outline the weapon in the soldier's hands (the butt should cover the lower part of the face). Let's complete the stage by drawing rectangular fists.
Step 3
Let's add volume to the arms and upper torso. In fact, at this stage we will only outline the previously outlined lines. We will not draw the muscles here, since the soldier’s clothing is not tight-fitting.
Step 4
Now let's do the same operation with the lower part of the body. This will be much easier to do if you imagine parts of the body in the form of figures - the belt and groin area in the form of a triangle, legs in the form of cylinders, knee joints in the form of a circle and a flattened oval. Again, nothing complicated, since we are not required to anatomically draw muscles and tendons.
Step 5
“Volume stickman”, that is, the silhouette of the soldier is ready, you can start drawing it. If you doubt the accuracy of the soldier’s position or the proportions of his body, hold the sketch of this stage to the mirror and look at the reflection - all errors in it will be very striking and noticeable.
And now, in fact, we continue: erase the extra guide lines from the helmet and outline its outline, also draw a strap on the soldier’s cheekbone. Then draw the eyes - one of them should be squinted.
Overall plan will be something like this:
Step 6
Usually we draw and detail drawings always from top to bottom, that is, in the direction from head to feet. And this lesson will not be an exception, therefore, we continue to detail our soldier.
Let's work on the jacket. Let's draw the sleeves, outline the folds of the fabric and cuffs. Then we will designate a belt that goes diagonally across the entire torso, a collar and strokes that will later become large pockets located on the chest.
The palms are the most mobile part of the body, so drawing them is what causes greatest number difficulties. To do this, we decided to make a couple of close-ups:
Actually, drawing the palms here is not particularly difficult, you just need to correctly convey their position and how they hold the weapon.
By the way, do not forget to draw the weapon itself, namely - legendary rifle Mosin. The general plan is this:
Step 7
Let's go lower and draw the lower part of the soldier's torso and legs. First, let's draw the belt and side pockets, and then the bag and the loose lower part of the jacket (pay attention to the smooth bend of the line of the jacket in the area of the leg closest to us, it must be marked, it emphasizes the pose).
Next are the legs. Let's erase the extra guide lines, outline the contours, giving the legs a "baggy" look - that is, we make the contour itself slightly wavy and apply folds to the fabric. Yes, such a moment - the legs should turn out to be quite voluminous, again in order to emphasize the loose fit of the pants.
Step 8
Great, already very close to what we need. Now let's complete the final drawing of the torso and legs of our soldier. At this stage, we will outline and detail the warrior’s left hand and the edge of the rifle butt.
Look carefully at our sample and try to repeat all our steps in your drawing - be sure to draw such, at first glance, inconspicuous details as a patch on the elbow, cuff edging, buttons and folds. Draw the knuckles on the outside of the hand.
Step 9
Now we will repeat the same operation, but on the other hand, to the right of us. Here, unlike the previous stage, the fingernails are visible and we will need to mark them. Also outline the strokes of the phalanges of the fingers, but otherwise everything is the same - cuffs with hems, buttons, patch in the elbow area and folds.
Step 10
Let's draw the Mosin rifle. Don't forget that most of the barrel parts of this weapon were made of wood, to visually represent this material, draw a few lines along the barrel at the front of it. Also mark short horizontal lines running across the barrel - the first of them is located next to the front sight, and the last one is in the area of the hand on our right hand. Draw the sight, trigger and belt (note the belt buckles and its upside down position).
Step 11
We detail the torso. Draw stripes on the collar, horizontal line fasteners and pockets. Pay attention to the hem that is located along the edges of the pockets and the folds coming from the belt. Don't forget to also edge the bag's strap and draw a buckle.
Step 12
Let's draw the legs, starting with the one to the left of us. Outline it, keeping the previously outlined wavy contour, mark the line of the fly on the pants, mark a rectangle in the knee area and draw a shoe with a thick, rough sole. Apply several short folds to the boot material.
Step 13
Now let's detail the other leg. Edge it, mark the folds, draw stripes of fabric in the shin area. Draw the thick sole of the shoe, indicate the lacing and a couple of strokes on the material of the shoe, which will indicate folds.
Step 14
Looks good, doesn't it? Let's now work with the shadows. First, let's put a shadow on our soldier's helmet. Before starting work, do not forget to look at the 6th stage of the lesson, dedicated to - firstly, the structure of a realistic shadow is described there, and secondly, the shadow on the grape brush, in terms of the level of distraction, is very reminiscent of the shadow that lies on the soldier’s helmet from this lesson.
Before applying shadows, determine the location of the light source - our light falls on the soldier from the front, the source is located approximately at the height of his height, and since the soldier is slightly turned to the right of us, we will shade the side to our left.
We will apply the shadow on the helmet with light but frequent cross-hatching, achieving the density we need by adjusting the pressure on the pencil and selecting optimal quantity layers of crossed hatching. Don't forget to mark the strip of reflex light that is located along the edges of the helmet.
Step 15
Let's apply a shadow to our left hand. Please note that almost every fold casts a light shadow, and in the area of the trapezius and deltoid muscles the shadow is especially thick.
Step 16
Light cross-hatching will indicate the shadows on the body, increasing the number of layers in the most densely shaded areas.
Step 17
In conclusion, I would like to show you one video, a quote from which we used at the beginning of our lesson. This impressive video sequence is created from footage from the iconic Soviet film“Officers”, and the music was written by the talented composer Evgeniy Agranovich.
Actually, all that remains is to apply a very light shadow to the soldier’s legs and our drawing is ready.
This was a lesson about that from the Drawingforall website, all the best to you, don’t forget your grandparents - your attention is incredibly important to them. Come to us for new lessons and write in the comments your suggestions regarding their topics. Happy upcoming holiday everyone!
Instructions
The helmet is designed to protect the head. Accordingly, its shape follows the shape of the head, that is, its basis is a circle or oval. Position the sheet in a way that suits you and draw a circle. Draw a vertical center line through its middle. The helmet you are looking at directly should be symmetrical. If the warrior's head is in profile towards you or at any angle, symmetry will not work. But in any case, you need to build the shape from a circle.
Divide the axial section, which is located inside the circle, in half. This is where the forehead part will end. For a helmet without a visor, this division is sufficient. If there is a visor, then also divide the lower axial segment in half. In an oval, the proportions will be slightly different. The forehead line will be slightly above the middle, and the bottom of the visor will be slightly lower.
Divide the circle vertically. You can draw a perpendicular to the center center line until it intersects the circle. Do it thin lines or just imagine. For a motorcycle helmet, divide each perpendicular half into 3 parts and set aside about 1/3 of the circle on each side. Draw vertical lines up until they intersect with the bottom of the forehead. Continue them down to the circle. The side parts are a little wider, so draw the vertical lines closer to the middle of the perpendicular segments.
You have the base of the helmet, now you need to give it final form. Draw softer vertical lines between the forehead and the circle. Divide the bottom of the forehead into 3 parts and connect the resulting points with arcs top point intersection of axial and circle. If you have a motorcycle or car helmet, all you have to do is decorate the sides, and this can be done to your own taste.
The knight's helmet also has various details in the upper part. This could be, for example, a comb with feathers. Continue the axial upward for a short distance. Divide the bottom of the forehead into 3 segments so that the middle one is narrower and the two side ones are the same. From the ends of the middle part, draw 2 lines parallel to the axial one. They must end at the same level. Connect with an arc, the convex part of which “looks” upward.
The top of the ancient Russian warrior's helmet tapers. Exactly the same as in the previous case, continue the center line upward. Connect the intersection points of the circle and the bottom of the forehead with the top point of the center line with smooth symmetrical arcs. Their convex parts are directed towards the middle.
The basis of the helmet, shown in profile, is also a circle or oval. Draw the vertical axis through the center of the circle. In the same way, determine where the forehead and visor end. Indicate them with thin lines. The metal side will be a little more open, so step back a little and draw vertical line from the forehead or visor to the intersection with the circle at its lower part. The top line of the ridge in this case will be parallel to the top of the circle. The ridge begins just above the bottom line of the forehead, and ends on the other side approximately at the level of the middle of the center line.
