How to draw a hare step by step. Zarubin Vladimir Ivanovich

In this lesson you will be able to draw a hare step by step. We are accustomed to thinking that a hare is white, but the color of a hare's fur depends on the time of year. In summer and spring, the hare has gray fur, like a rabbit, and only in winter does the hare change its color and become white, so that a fox or wolf cannot easily distinguish it against the background of white snow. You can skip coloring the hare with colored pencils and draw a white hare. This drawing of a hare was made on a tablet, but it can be used to draw a hare with a simple pencil.

1. Before drawing the hare, let's make simple outlines

To draw a hare, divide a section of the sheet into 9 identical squares. Make the lines barely noticeable so that they can be easily removed later. Now it will be easier for you to draw three circles, with which we will gradually and beautifully draw a hare sitting on the grass.

2. Contours of the hare's paws

After you have made the initial outlines, the lines dividing the drawing into squares can be removed and you can continue drawing the hare without them. Now you need to draw some circles for the paws. Since drawing them is not at all difficult, I will not comment on this step.

3. We begin to draw the hare's face

Let's finish drawing the paws first. Please note that the hare's hind legs are quite long and in the picture they almost touch the front legs. Draw all these outlines exactly like in my drawing, just do not press too hard on the pencil, since we will delete some of them. On the outline of the head, draw an area for the hare's muzzle and two circles for the ears.

4. General outline of the torso and head

If you have drawn all the contours accurately before this stage, now we will wave a pencil over the drawing and a bunny will appear, like a magician in a circus, only not from a hat, but on paper, in the form of a drawing. First draw the outlines of the hare's ears, then add the outline of the eye and then outline our entire “geometry” with a pencil. Start tracing from the head to the hind leg. Draw the outline of the tail and don't forget to draw the hare's belly and add a line in front. Now you can remove all the extra lines and look, hare drawing almost finished.

5. Finishing touches to the picture

To completely draw a hare It is necessary to draw his face in detail and draw a fur skin with a pencil. Look how I drew the hare's face and repeat the same. Be sure to also clarify the drawing of the eye.

6. Realistic drawing of a hare

It will take a lot of time to tell in detail what needs to be done at this stage, I think you yourself know. But in order to draw a hare realistically, you definitely need to draw its face in detail. Carefully draw the pupil, nose, mouth, ears and, of course, the mustache.

7. Drawing a hare on a tablet

If you decide to color the drawing with colored pencils, you can use this picture, which I made on a tablet. To bring the picture of a hare to life, you can draw the surrounding landscape, such as green grass and the sky.


Externally, a rabbit is almost no different from a hare. Therefore, drawings of a hare and a rabbit can be used to draw these animals.


Agree, the squirrel is somewhat reminiscent of a hare. The front teeth are the same, the hind legs are larger than the front ones. But the rabbit has a very small tail (so that the fox cannot grab it by the tail), while the squirrel has a fluffy tail and ears with tufts.


Lessons "How to draw a hare" "Drawing a hamster" are intended for children. I hope you will be able to draw a hamster without mistakes the first time.


The fox is the most dangerous and cunning enemy for the hare. To protect itself from being chased by a fox, the hare even “gave up” its tail and is forced to change the color of its fur in winter. And even his hind legs are so big for a reason. With a blow from his hind paw, a hare can easily “knock out” a fox.


Look, why is a kangaroo not a hare? The kangaroo has the same huge ears, small front paws and jumps just like a hare. Probably, after drawing a hare, a kangaroo will be quite easy to draw.


Puss in Boots from a favorite fairy tale or a favorite cat, rabbits, hares often become characters in children's drawings. But in order to draw a cat correctly, let's learn a little.


A drawing of a kitten with a simple pencil looks too faded, it is advisable to at least add a little color with colored pencils. Kittens are not rabbits and they come in the most unexpected colors.

LESSON 11. DRAWING. “THE BUNNY MET THE SQUIRREL”

Software tasks.

To develop compositional skills in children (image of two characters located opposite each other); learn to convey in a drawing the characteristic features of a squirrel and a hare (shape of body parts, color of coat); develop creative abilities (introducing additions to the drawing that enrich its content); consolidate the ability to work with the whole brush and its end (drawing small details).

Material.

The teacher has a mobile applique - a sheet of cardboard with a pocket at the bottom and cardboard figures of a hare and a squirrel, painted on both sides. Children have sheets of gray paper, gouache paints, soft brushes.

Progress of the lesson.

The teacher addresses the children: “Children, imagine that we, like the artist who saw a squirrel with a fungus in the forest and drew it, went for a walk in the forest.

Quiet in the forest. The bear is sleeping soundly in his den. The hedgehog also fell asleep until spring in a nest of grass and moss. We approached a small clearing, stopped behind a thick bush and hid, because we saw someone looking out of a hollow on a tall fir tree. This is... (squirrel). She looked in different directions - there was no one. The squirrel felt sad. But then a familiar bunny jumped out into the clearing. The squirrel was delighted and quickly went down the spruce trunk. The friends greeted each other and told each other their news. The bunny talks about how he cleverly ran away from the fox, the squirrel talks about the woodpecker who wakes her up every morning with his knocking on the tree. This bird finds all sorts of harmful bugs under the bark and gets them out of there.”

The teacher puts a mobile applique in front of the children, shows the figures of a bunny and a squirrel: “I want to depict here the meeting of a bunny and a squirrel. How should I arrange them? Maybe so? (Places the animals in his pocket one after another.) Or maybe so? (Turns them in different directions.) Not like that again. How should they be positioned? Who will show?

One of the children places the figures correctly. “Of course, the squirrel and the bunny must be placed opposite each other so that they can see each other,” says the teacher. Invites children to depict a meeting between a bunny and a squirrel. Reminds that when starting to draw the first character, children should leave space on the paper for the second. He asks them to show with their hand on the sheet where they will draw a bunny and where a squirrel.

During the drawing process, he makes sure that the children convey in the drawing the characteristic features of a hare and a squirrel (see lessons 9, 10).

When the children complete their work, it is advisable to advise them to draw some objects by which they can find out where the squirrel and the bunny met, what they gave each other, or who saw them meet in the forest. Then the drawings will become more interesting and will differ from each other.

At the end of the lesson, the teacher displays the children’s drawings on a stand.

– If an artist comes to us and asks what we saw in the forest, we will show him our drawings. What will he learn when he looks at them?

He can address specific children.

– Vasya, what does the artist learn from your drawing?

– From what drawing does he learn that a bunny and a squirrel met near a tall tree (bush, stump)?

- And from what drawing does he learn that a woodpecker saw them meet?

LESSON 1. DRAWING. “THE TREE GREW IN THE FOREST ON THE MOUNTAIN”

Software tasks.

Learn to draw a Christmas tree in accordance with the content of the poem, draw pine cones and snow on the branches; make additions to the drawing that enrich its content; distinguish between the color of the sky, the weather and the time of day (day, evening or morning).

Material.

The teacher has a book illustration with a picture of a Christmas tree, corresponding to the description in E. Trutneva’s poem “Christmas Tree”, a sheet of paper with a painted spruce branch (to show the image of cones and snow). Children have sheets of paper with different backgrounds. Some children have gray paper, others blue, and still others pinkish-yellow (the color of the sky at sunrise or sunset). At the bottom of the sheet there is a slide (unpainted white paper), gouache paints, soft brushes.

...

Progress of the lesson.

“There was a beautiful Christmas tree growing in the forest on the mountain,” says the teacher. “One day an artist saw a Christmas tree and drew it like this. (Show illustration.) Then the writer Elena Trutneva saw this tree and composed the following poem:


The Christmas tree grew
In the forest on the mountain.
She has needles
In winter in silver,

She's got bumps
The ice is knocking
Snow coat
Lies on the shoulders...

– What did the artist draw on the branches of the Christmas tree? (Pine cones, snow.) What did the poetess write about the cones on the Christmas tree? (“The ice on her cones is rattling.”) How did she describe the snow on the branches of the spruce tree? (“The snow coat lies on the shoulders.”)

You can invite the children to repeat these lines from the poem in chorus, and then suggest: “Let us draw a Christmas tree on a high mountain with a snow coat on our shoulders, with cones, with ice.”

“What shape is the bump?” - asks the teacher. (Oval.) Shows how to paint cones at the bottom of a spruce branch with brown paint using the dipping technique (side stroke).


...

Next, the teacher shows two techniques for depicting snow on branches: paints a wide stripe at the top of one branch with white paint and applies horizontal strokes along the top of another branch. Explains that snow can be depicted in different ways. In calm weather the snow lies flat, and in windy weather it lies in clumps.

Children start drawing. During the work, the teacher makes sure that they correctly convey the pyramidal structure of the spruce, and paint the snow only after the dark green paint has dried, and also that they wash the brush well before painting with white paint.

...

By the end of the drawing, you can invite the children to depict some animal on a hill or below, animal tracks (a side stroke is made with blue or light gray paint), a bush, a tree - whoever wants what.

The finished drawings are placed on the stand. Three pictures with different background colors are placed side by side separately. The teacher asks when the sky is blue and when it is gray, has anyone seen a pink or yellow sky and when is the sky this color? (In the evening or morning, at sunset or sunrise.)

In conclusion, we can ask whether the Christmas trees on the mountain turned out as written in the poem. Read the excerpt from E. Trutneva’s poem again and point to the corresponding pictures. Praise those who made interesting additions to their work, invite the children to tell what they depicted.

LESSON 2. APPLICATION. "THE FIRST-BEARS"

Software tasks.

Teach children to cut triangles from squares; make an applique of two items, placing them side by side at the bottom of a sheet of paper; stick triangles (Christmas tree branches) in descending order.

Material.

The teacher has a sample applique, a small flannelgraph, three triangles, decreasing in size, glued on the back side with flannel. Children have three dark green rectangles measuring 5x10 cm, 4x8 cm and 3x6 cm; a strip of white paper (snow), sheets of gray or blue paper the size of 1/2 a landscape sheet; additional material: narrow white stripes (for falling snow) 0.5×10–12 cm; scissors, glue.

...

Progress of the lesson.

The teacher reminds the children that they already know how to draw spruce trees, and today they will learn to cut out and paste these trees. Here they are (shows a sample).

Suggests answering the following questions: what are the branches of fir trees made of (from triangles), are the triangles the same in size; where are the big branches and where are the small ones?

– Who wants to put the same Christmas tree on a flannelgraph?

– Which largest triangle should be placed below, which above and which at the top? – The triangles gradually become smaller and the Christmas tree becomes like a pyramid. Each subsequent triangle overlaps a little with the corner of the bottom one. – Show everyone on your sheets of paper the place where you will stick the first Christmas tree and where the second.

The teacher shows the children a rectangle and asks what color it is (dark green). He says that children will cut out Christmas tree branches from such rectangles.

– First you need to fold each rectangle in half and cut along the fold. You will get squares of different sizes. Each square needs to be cut into two triangles (shows cutting techniques). Who wants to show how to cut a square from corner to corner to get two triangles?

A child from among those interested shows how to cut.

The teacher says that at the bottom of the sheet of paper you need to stick white snow, and then Christmas trees. As he works, he makes sure to use the correct techniques for cutting rectangles into squares and squares into triangles. Reminds you that when cutting, the scissors should not be closed all the way, and when cutting out triangles, you need to look at the upper corner and direct the cut there.

Children who complete the task faster than others can be asked to imitate falling snow: tear off small pieces from a narrow white strip and use a brush with glue to touch the place on the paper where the snowflake will be, and then apply it to this place. Snowflakes should not be glued close to each other. You can stick snowflakes on Christmas trees too. After all, when snow falls in nature, it covers everything.

At the end of the lesson, children's work is placed on a stand.

The teacher can say that the result is a large spruce forest. Suggest to find in this forest fir trees that look like pyramids, whose branches gradually become smaller towards the top, then see if all the fir trees in the forest have grown straight, and if there are any that have been bent by a strong wind. You can also take two or three applications and examine their location on a sheet of paper (the Christmas trees are nearby, do not rest against the edges of the paper).

LESSON 3. APPLICATION. “THE SNOW MAIDEN’S HOUSE NEAR THE TREE” (2 lessons)

Software tasks.

Teach children to depict a simple plot from objects of different shapes and sizes; depict a fairy-tale house decorated with a pattern with a symmetrical arrangement of elements on paired parts; notice unusual color combinations (cool colors); develop cognitive activity; develop teamwork skills.

Material.

The teacher has a sample - the Snow Maiden's house, made using the appliqué method from cold-colored paper, and a Snow Maiden figurine cut out from a New Year's card. Children's initial shapes for the house: rectangle 8x10 cm for wall, square 9×9 cm for roof, square 3×3 cm for window, rectangle 6×2 cm for two shutters, square 2.5×2.5 cm for platbands, two strips of two colors 6×1 cm for patterns of small triangles, two white stripes of 10 cm for snow on the roof; initial shapes for the Christmas tree: four squares of dark green paper for two Christmas trees: 8x8 cm, 6x6 cm, 4x4 cm, 2x2 cm; scissors, glue; a sheet of gray or pink paper the size of a landscape sheet, at the bottom of which there is a white stripe - snow.


...

Progress of the lesson.

Lesson 1

Educator:

– There was a house in the spruce forest, like this (shows a sample). It was light blue (blue, light green...), with purple shutters decorated with small triangles that looked like icicles. What do you think, children, who lives in such an ice house?

Listens to the children's answers until one of them names the Snow Maiden. Confirms that a snow girl named Snegurochka lives in the ice house. Shows a figurine of the Snow Maiden and places it near the house. Draws children's attention to the fact that the Snow Maiden's outfit is similar in color to the color of her house.

Continues:

– The Snow Maiden told me that she has many girlfriends, but they don’t have such beautiful ice houses, and she asks you to cut out and stick the same houses for them. Do you agree, children, to help the Snow Maiden’s friends?

Then the teacher invites the children to look at the blanks for the house and find a rectangle for the wall among them. Rectangles can be different colors: blue, green-blue, blue, light purple.

Next, the children are given the task of finding a shape from which to cut out a roof for the Snow Maiden’s house. The teacher asks what shape the roof is and how to make a triangular roof from a large square. You can call a child to show how to cut a square from corner to corner to get triangles.

Then the children answer questions from what shapes they will use to make a window, shutters, trim, from which they will cut out many small triangles for a pattern on the roof, on shutters and trim. If there are difficulties, the teacher invites the child to look at the model and compare the parts of the house with the original shapes in order to guess how they should be changed. Explains that the house for the Snow Maiden needs to be glued to the side of a sheet of paper so that there is room for the Christmas tree, which they will draw in the next lesson.

If time permits, children can decorate the house with a pattern, or this work can be transferred to lesson 2.

When children apply a pattern to the roof, you need to draw their attention to the alternation of small triangles in color (blue and dark blue, purple and dark blue, etc.). When decorating the shutters, it is important that the child makes the same pattern on both shutters. Children can come up with patterns themselves.

Lesson 2

The teacher reminds that there is a Christmas tree growing near the Snow Maiden’s house and offers to draw it. He explains that the box contains four squares for two Christmas trees.

– Let everyone take two squares and cut them into triangles. He will keep two triangles, different in size, for himself, and give two to a friend. And your friend will do the same. This way, you will cut out pieces for two trees together. Glue the Christmas trees near the Snow Maiden's house.

During the work, if necessary, the teacher reminds that the tree should look like a pyramid. You can invite children to tear small pieces of white paper from a narrow strip and stick them to represent falling snow.

During the lesson, the teacher places all the applications on the stand. He asks which of the children wants to show their house to the Snow Maiden and tell what it is like (what color, how it is decorated). Calls several children. The Snow Maiden notes which houses her friends will live in. He promises to call them and show them the houses that the children made for them.

LESSON 4. DRAWING. “WHAT ANIMALS CAME TO THE SNOW MAIDEN’S HOUSE”

Software tasks.

Continue working with children on the composition of a plot drawing, learning to combine objects of different sizes and shapes (house and animals) through their location relative to each other and maintaining proportions between them; consolidate the characteristic color combination for the Snow Maiden’s house, the ability to independently choose cool colors when depicting it; learn to portray a running animal; choose a character to depict: a bunny or a squirrel and a pose for it (sitting near the Snow Maiden’s house or running towards the house); use familiar techniques for painting with a brush: painting with the entire brush, painting according to the shape (animal’s body), side stroke when depicting small parts, small details and pattern elements, drawing with the end of the brush.

Material.

The teacher has two flylegraphs - one for drawing up a picture (plot), the other for placing figures and objects; objects glued on one side with flannel: the hut and the Snow Maiden's house, two figures each of a bunny and a squirrel, sitting and running; a sheet of paper with an incomplete image of a bunny and a squirrel. Children have tinted sheets of paper - at the bottom there is a strip of snow with a small slide, the sky is of different colors (gray, blue, sunset colors); gouache paints, soft brushes.

Progress of the lesson.

The teacher says:

– You know, children, that the Snow Maiden lives in her house in the forest. The Snow Maiden is friends with all the forest animals: bunnies, squirrels, foxes. The little animals also love the Snow Maiden and often come to visit her. Let's draw a picture on a flannelgraph of how a bunny or a squirrel came to the Snow Maiden's house. Or maybe they came together to visit the Snow Maiden.

Indicates an additional flannelgraph:

- Look, children, there are two houses here. Where does the Snow Maiden live? Why do you think that the Snow Maiden lives in this house?

The teacher invites one of the children to glue the Snow Maiden’s house to the side of the flannel, near the slide. The story continues:

– The Snow Maiden’s house stands near a low hill. And her friends will come down from this hill to her.

Attaches two figures of bunnies to an additional flannelgraph: a sitting one and a running one.

– How are these bunnies different from each other? Which bunny should we put in the picture?

After listening to the children's answers, the teacher first places a running hare on the flannelgraph.

...

- This bunny is in a hurry, running to the house. You see, children, his front legs are stretched forward and his back legs are stretched back.

He removes the figurine of a running hare and places it closer to the house of a sitting hare.

– But you can do it differently. The bunny has already reached the house. He will catch his breath a little and knock on the Snow Maiden’s door.

The teacher removes the bunnies and places two squirrel figures on an additional flannelgraph. Invites the child to take one of the squirrels and attach it to the flannelgraph.

-What is this little squirrel doing? Who wants to make a picture with another squirrel?

Having removed the figures, the teacher says:

– Children, you can make different pictures about the Snow Maiden’s house and her animal friends. You have already drawn sitting squirrels and bunnies. Now I will show you how to draw the legs of running animals.

Places a piece of paper on the easel with an unfinished image of a hare and a squirrel. Invites a child to the easel.

- Come on, Kolya, let’s draw running animals together. Which animal do you want to draw legs on - a bunny or a squirrel? Just first watch how I draw the front legs, and then do the same. Then we will draw the back legs of our animals.

Depending on the animal chosen by the child, the teacher gives him a brush with paint, orange or white (gray). Having drawn the animal’s legs using a side stroke (dipping), he asks:

– Where are the front legs of a running animal extended and where are the hind legs? Think about who you will draw - a bunny or a squirrel running towards the house or sitting near it.

– Show on your sheets of paper where you will draw the Snow Maiden’s house (on the side, near the slide). Why do you first draw a house and then an animal? (The house is large, and large objects are always drawn first.)

...

During the drawing process, the teacher monitors the choice of colors to depict the Snow Maiden’s house. Reminds, if necessary, of the color of paper that the children used for appliqué in the previous lesson. You can show two or three children's works. It is recommended to depict the roof of the house as covered with snow; When drawing a pattern on shutters, use a side stroke and dots, and select the color of the pattern elements so that the pattern stands out. For example, on a blue background, the pattern can be white and blue, etc. Children who make additions to the drawing that enrich its content should be praised.

At the end of the lesson, the teacher places one of the drawings on the stand. He invites the children to look at it and say who came to the Snow Maiden’s house. Then look at your drawings and bring to the stand the one in which another animal came to visit the Snow Maiden.

The teacher offers to find the most elegant house of the Snow Maiden, decorated with patterns, when drawing which the child used several “snowy” paints. Emphasizes that the animals went to visit the Snow Maiden in different weather (points to the color of the sky), and some early in the morning. He concludes that the children’s pictures turned out different, because each one decided for himself who he would draw, what his animal would do - run to the house or sit near it. Different drawings are always interesting to look at.

LESSON 5. INTRODUCING ART – CONSIDERING ILLUSTRATIONS DEEPICATING DIFFERENT WINTER WEATHER

To form an idea of ​​color as one of the expressive means with which artists depict different winter weather.

Material.

Several large color illustrations depicting winter landscapes in different weather (clear, cloudy, snowing); a cardboard palette with pasted colored circles, similar in color to the paints in the illustrations; a set of postcards with winter landscapes (drawn or artistic photographs); brush.

Progress of the lesson.

The teacher shows two illustrations depicting clear and cloudy weather. He says that one picture shows a clear day, and the other a cloudy one.

...

– Who wants to show where the artist depicted a clear day? How did you know that this picture shows a clear winter day?

Similar work is carried out on another picture. If the children cannot answer the questions, then the teacher asks them about the color of the sky in the paintings. Explains that there is a blue sky without clouds on a clear day, and on a cloudy day the sky is covered with gray clouds.

Shows the palette: “This is a palette, there are different colors of paint on it. For artists, these are real paints, but on a toy palette, instead of paints, colored circles are glued on.”

The teacher calls the child and offers to show with a brush what paint the artist used to paint the sky in one and the other painting. He says to another child: “It’s like you’re an artist, pick up “paint” to depict a clear sky and “paint over” it.” The child imitates the actions of the artist. Another child is asked to show how the artist paints over the sky in another painting. They give him a palette and a brush.

The teacher adds a third illustration depicting snowfall. Covers the sky with a piece of paper. He says that in this painting the artist depicted snowfall.

Asks you to guess what kind of sky the artist painted - gray or blue. Confirms the children's answers that snow falls from clouds, so when artists depict snowfall, they draw gray clouds in the sky. Reveals the top half of the illustration.

You can invite your child to show how an artist paints the sky and falling snow by “typing” the desired color of “paint” on a “palette.”

The same work with illustrations is carried out when examining snow on the ground, on tree branches. It is determined what colors they are depicted in the paintings (white, light blue, dark blue, etc.).

Then a game exercise is carried out with postcards. Children are given one or two postcards. The teacher calls the weather: “clear”, “cloudy”, “snowfall”, “blizzard”, etc., and the children show the corresponding postcard. Next, the teacher shows one or the other “paint” on the “palette”, and the children name what they have drawn with such paint on the postcard.
