We draw with children aged 6-7 years in stages. Drawing with a baby: first games and activities

Drawing lesson for children. How to draw a person to a 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 year old child with a pencil step by step. The lesson is very detailed, you will succeed.

Draw an elongated oval, this will be the head, then draw a small neck at the bottom and draw a rectangle. The neck should be strictly in the middle of the rectangle (upper body).

Even lower, draw a rectangle of the same width, only longer (this will be the lower part of the body). On the sides of the body we draw arms, also rectangles, only very thin and they end below the 1st, but not very low, but a little bit (see picture). Then we make curves from the neck to the arms, i.e. draw the shoulders. We divide the lower rectangle in half, these will be the legs.

Take an eraser and erase some of the lines on top of the shoulders, we don’t need them, under the shoulders and under the shirt (the places are shown with a red eraser). Then draw a neckline, not completely the line where the sleeve connects to the main part of the jacket, then from the beginning of the legs from the top, a line at an angle, but not completely to the left and right, i.e. you should get the shape of a slingshot, draw the fly a little higher. Next we draw the boots and hands. The sequence of drawing hands is shown on the right. We did it, well done.

Now let's take care of the head. Now we will draw the shape of the head more clearly and erase unnecessary curves. With a cross in the head we show where the middle of the head is and where the eyes are located. We draw small arches, this will be the top of the eyes, two points are the nose and the bottom of their mouth. Also draw the ears, which are located at the level of the eyes and nose.

Under the arms, draw the same ones, only in reverse, we will get eyes, then draw circles at the bottom, draw a line very close to the top of the eyes, this is a fold, look at yourself in the mirror, then draw eyebrows and bangs, make the shape of the head wider.

Erase the unnecessary lines on the head and you can also draw folds on the clothes, it’s very easy, just draw oblique lines, as in the picture, you can detail the shoes. The drawing of a person for children is ready.

How teach a child to draw.

Educator: T. M. Pugachevskaya

MBDOU No. 139 kindergarten "Antoshka" Bryansk.

Your child I’m already familiar with pencils, paints, felt-tip pens, I already see and understand how to leave marks on paper, lines, scribbles. What's next? How to achieve child consciously depicted familiar objects, even the simplest and most elementary phenomena?

How teach a child to draw

SO, LET'S BEGIN

IMPORTANT- teach the child to see and understand that in nature there is very little white color, practically none. Therefore, from the first lessons I teach the children how to apply a background, or give them already tinted paper. Well, it doesn’t happen that a chicken walks in white snow! Can a fish swim in a milky white river? Therefore, we draw grass, sea, sky. yeah whatever. I show the children how a brush “walks” across the paper (from one edge to the other, runs back, makes a smooth long path, and runs back again - something like this is what I say. Show everyone, take your hand child together with your brush and paint)

Be sure to play with everything (“pour jam into a jar” - cut out a sheet in the shape of a jar, decorate a rug for the dog, pussy, etc. Then, when the work is dry, be sure to show this rug to the pussy, let her sit on it, if there is no toy cat, dogs, then stick a paper figure onto the finished background

Try a variety of game techniques, here's a HOMEMADE EXERCISE:

Together with look for it as a child who hid or what was hidden (to do this, first draw on a sheet of paper with a candle a simple image of any object, phenomenon or animal - the sun, a cloud and rain, a butterfly, fish, etc. and paint over the sheet of paper with watercolors). - display

You need to start with one color.

To make your work beautiful, bright, and neat, it is better to use not just albums for drawing, and watercolor paper. It is dense and the paint adheres to it perfectly due to the rough surface.

Child and drawing.

All children love paint. Sometimes they start doing this before they speak. And it is very important to support child at the very beginning of his creative path and pronounce the first formula education: "YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING!"

Many parents mistakenly believe that child really starting paint only from the moment when he can convey in the drawing the characteristic features of the object - draw similar. In fact, this happens much earlier - during the Karakul period. Karakulnoe drawing has three phases:

1. Chaotic scribbles (random, unorganized)

Period from 1 year to 1.5 years.

2. Stages of circular scribbles. Graphic movements have a repetitive nature.

3. Stage of developed scribbles. The period is about 2 years. Child begins to react to the edge of the sheet - the line goes around the edge of the sheet or ends at the edge. At this time the children enjoy paint with different colors. And also, the graphic language is being formed very actively. There are 16 types of graphic movements in total and the larger the type of scribble, the higher the intelligence child.

Draw with children from a very early age using the following reasons: - let it develop;

Let him work;

Let him rejoice;

Let him create!

Often from as early as three years old the baby can be heard: "I can't paint» . Involuntarily arise questions: "How did you know that? Who told you this? And have you tried? Let's try it together. A sheet for you, a sheet for me, a pencil for you and a pencil for me. Let's draw the Sun, big, on the entire sheet, round, kind, warm. It smiles like a mother. Look, it stretches out its hands to us - rays. Isn't this a miracle? Just now the sheet was white, clean, and suddenly... The Sun was born, real, alive, it was not born on its own - we helped it. Our Sunshine."

The role of parents and teachers is not only to give to kid certain skills and abilities. The main thing is to help child to see the world, experience beauty with him, instill in him confidence in his abilities and ignite the flame of the joy of creativity. Remember, a lot depends on you, on whoever is next to you. child at the entrance to the complex and diverse world of beauty. Hurry to make your children happy, because a happy childhood is a smart childhood.

Games with drawing.

In the process of visual arts, a child not only learns to draw lines, roll balls and cut paper - he develops as a person. Creativity at an early age promotes mental development child. After all, in order to depict any object, the baby must first highlight the main thing in this object: round wheels on the car, mom’s face, and so on. Drawing helps a child express his attitude to the world, he learns to convey his emotions with the help of color, lines and shapes. By achieving results, albeit small, but still, the baby becomes more confident in his abilities. And a positive assessment of these results by adults gives the child a sense of significance and value.

You can develop your creativity child, if from a very early age you introduce him to a variety of materials and teach them how to handle them. Show your baby how to do it draw and sculpt. Use paper of different colors and types for drawings and applications.

Help to kid choose subjects for creative work. Together, remember a familiar fairy tale, sing your favorite song, or refer to the baby’s personal experience, to what interested him ( "Masha collects mushrooms", "Elephant at the Zoo", "Dad is driving a car", "An excavator digs sand"). Drawing It’s also great because it’s easy to move from it to other types of learning activities, and vice versa: the drawing can be inscribed and read, the parts of the drawing can be counted, and if the plot of the work is fairy-tale, you can act out the fairy tale. Visual activities make the activity interesting and exciting for the baby. Before each lesson, the child must be interested in what he will be paint. For this Can:

Observe natural phenomena in advance (rain, snow, rainbow);

Dance and clap ( "like bunnies");

Sing a song (about the rain, about the geese, about the car);

Play a role-playing game ( "Locomotive", "Cat and Mice").

Examples of activities:

“Drawing the rain”

WHAT WE'RE LEARNING: ability to use paints and brushes; paint the technique of dipping; depict familiar natural phenomena.

WILL BE NEEDED: sheets of white paper, saucer with water, brush, watercolor paints.

HOW TO PLAY. Place a sheet of white paper in front of the baby and place a saucer of water. Offer him draw rain with water. Using your hand, show how to dip the brush into water and draw rain. Apply the brush to the leaf using leisurely, soft movements. Having filled the sheet with such rain, rejoice result: “What a rain! Lots of drops!”.Give to kid another sheet and place the paints in front of it. Help him put the right amount of paint on the brush and fill the sheet with strokes. Let there not be very many of them. There is no need to place the drops in a row - it will not look like real rain. Drawing rain can be combined with singing. Then the brush can be applied to the paper in time with the singing.

Rain, rain,

Drip and drip

Don't drip

It's been like this for a long time.

It's raining, it's raining,

It’s not given into your hands,

Drip-drip-drip-drip!

OPTIONS. Play with the finished drawing. Look at it with your baby and sing the song. While singing, you can tap the leaf with your fingers, imitating the sound of rain. You can knock with only two fingers, or you can knock with all of them at once.

“Drawing berries in the grass”

WHAT WE'RE LEARNING: skills painting with paints; different techniques drawing.

WILL BE NEEDED: sheets of white paper, a saucer with water, a brush, watercolor paints, 2-3 felt-tip pens.

HOW TO PLAY. Before draw berries for real, draw them first in the air and then on a sheet without using paint. Place the brush in the baby’s hands and, guiding his movements, draw a circle in the air, speaking: “This is such a round berry!” Let him try to repeat this movement on the sheet, after dipping the brush in water.

Help the baby draw on a blade of grass, a few straight or curved lines are enough. Then ask child draw berries on their own. If he fails, guide his hand by commenting on each movement: “This is how we draw a line, connect here!” You can paint over the berry, or you can leave only the outline.

Enough draw 3-4 berries. After the drawing has dried, offer to kid outline the berries with a contrasting colored felt-tip pen. At the same time with drawing It’s good to sing a song about berries. For example:

Let's go to the garden through the raspberries,

Let's go to the garden, let's go to the garden.

We'll pick raspberries

Let's dial, let's dial...

Secure the circular drawing movement is possible, drawing berries not in the grass, and on a plate. Demonstrate to kid How this is done is by drawing a large circle on a sheet of paper with a brush dipped in water. Have your child draw a plate directly on top of this line. Paint 3-4 berries inside the plate with paints. Place them far apart from each other, otherwise the paint will mix. You can go with berries draw tails and rounded leaves. Place a green marker in your hand child and show how they are drawn.

Commandments for parents drawing with children.

1. Remember: child takes his first steps in art. This is a very important moment. Therefore, you should always be nearby - after all, many surprises can arise when a senior’s advice is important. Otherwise, in case of failure, child will lose all interest in visual arts for a long time. Moreover, together "to create" more fun.

2. Organize art exhibitions more often child. But never criticize the drawings. Affirm everyone's right to individuality.

3. Child should feel joy from every lesson drawing. Therefore, the tasks that you set for him must be accessible to him, and they can only be made more difficult gradually.

4. Remember that failures can lead to development child feelings of self-doubt, and this is undesirable. Praise more often child for his diligence, do not ignore any of his work. Do not forget, child Looking forward to your approval! He wants everyone to like his work. Enjoy it

successes and under no circumstances ridicule the young artist in case of failure. It doesn't matter that it didn't work out. It'll work out next time.

5. Provide an opportunity child to work"yourself". If you suggest every time that paint what paints to take, child in the future he will not be able to act independently. He will wait for a hint every time.

6. What if child quits work halfway, explaining that he doesn’t want to anymore? Maybe he doesn’t understand, it’s difficult or he’s tired? Think about it. Most likely, he just can’t do it, help him finish the drawing he started. Start your next lesson with what didn’t work last time. Today it will definitely work. It's bad if child will get used to not finishing the work he starts. This may later become a character trait. A joint drawing will and should bring joy to both you and to kid. Therefore - patience!

7. Collect drawings child. Home drawing collection child may play an archaeological role. If there are a lot of drawings at home and you need to make room, then deciding which drawings can be thrown away must be made together with child. Be friends with your children, because childhood passes so quickly! Go ahead and create! Let creativity bring joy to you and your children!

Drawing is one of the ways children express themselves. First, the baby draws doodles, something described in the rhyme “stick, stick, cucumber, it turned out to be a little man,” then his talent grows, and the baby can sometimes produce real masterpieces. But what to do if your child can’t draw the way he wants? Because of this, the child becomes upset and depressed.

Or another example: a child draws wonderfully with ecstasy, but how can this talent be made truly professional? How to push a child onto the “path of an artist”? In other words, how to teach a child to draw? This will be discussed further.

When should you teach your child to draw?

All children have a penchant for creativity, and it is difficult to find a child who does not like to draw.

Babies begin to become interested in the world of paints and pencils at 7-8 months. During this period, a developmental leap occurs, children find more and more new and interesting things around them.

At this time, you can show them simple drawings, and also explain step by step (1-2 stages) how to draw them. Let the mother use a pencil on paper herself, and the baby watches these manipulations. Most likely, he himself will reach for the pencil. There is no need to interfere with this. Give your child complete creative freedom.

But, of course, there is no talk of any professional drawing at 8-12 months. You can teach your child to create at a higher level later. At 2 years old, the child is already able to hold a brush and pencil correctly, that is, in a fist, and with three fingers. During this period, you can begin to gradually introduce your child to art. In the early stages, you can get by with home schooling (this will be discussed below), but if you seriously decide to raise a second Vasnetsov or Aivazovsky, it is better to send your child to a special art school.

Preparatory stage

Introducing a child to creativity is an extremely exciting process, but also quite expensive. Until you decide what your child likes more - paints or pencils - you will have to buy both.

To get started, purchase:

• sheets of paper (this is better than an album);
• watercolor paints;
• gouache;
• colored pencils and markers;
• simple pencils;
• crayons or pastels;
• brushes – better squirrel, kolinsky;
• later you can buy acrylic and oil paints.

The drawings on glass look very interesting. They are made with special stained glass paints, which can be purchased at art stores.

Gradually offer your baby one or another drawing tool.

Before starting the creative process, put on your child old clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. Prepare a field for activity: you can even sit on the floor! Create an atmosphere: turn on music, open the curtains to make the room brighter.

Now start creating!

Learning to draw with a pencil

Before you teach your child to draw with a pencil, you need to introduce him to basic geometric shapes. These are what the drawing will consist of at first.

The next stage is coloring. Start with large coloring pages. Let the child learn how to use pencils and carefully paint over the details of the drawing.

1. Find a simple lesson on the Internet that shows you step by step how to draw any object. Together with your child, choose what you will draw.
2. Take one sheet for yourself, give the other to your child. Draw a picture step by step, making sure your child repeats after you.
3. At first, the baby’s picture will be somewhat clumsy, devoid of smooth lines and curves, but over time he will learn to draw more accurately and beautifully.
4. Later (at the age of 6-7 years), the child can be introduced to such concepts as highlight, shadow, reflex. To do this, it is better to send your child to a special club where professional artists work.

How to teach your child to paint with watercolors?

Watercolor is one of the best paints for teaching a child over 5 years old how to draw.

To begin with, it is better to choose ordinary honey watercolor - 12 or 18 colors. The paper is ordinary Whatman paper.

Preparation

1. Lightly wet the paper and attach it to the board or tablet with buttons.
2. Dilute watercolor paints on a special palette.
3. Prepare brushes (squirrel or kolinsky) and a glass of water.

Drawing

1. To begin, explain to your child that there are only three basic colors (red, blue, yellow), and also show how you can get new colors by mixing them together.
2. Let your child try mixing the colors on a separate sheet.
3. Explain to your child that painting with watercolors requires speed. A picture painted with this water-based paint is difficult to correct, especially when it dries.
4. Start drawing. Step by step, show your child how to draw the sky, trees, and houses. Remember that you need to start drawing from the background, gradually adding new layers.

Several interesting techniques

How to teach a child to draw with a pencil or watercolor? The answer is simple: you need to let your child work in different techniques. Gouache, colored pencils, pastels - all this seems familiar and even banal, but the creative process does not tolerate routine. You can create paintings in absolutely amazing ways. Several such techniques are presented below.

Draw with your palm

Your child (this method can be offered even to children 2-3 years old) will be delighted with such drawing, because deep down, every little one wants to, without restraining himself, get everything dirty with paint.

1. Cover the floor with newspapers or a large oilcloth, place a sheet of Whatman paper on it, pour multi-colored paints into saucers, prepare a roll of paper towels and a deep bowl of water.
2. Let the baby “dip” his palms into the paint and, leaving prints on the paper, create his own picture.
3. The child's hands should be washed from time to time to prevent the painting from becoming dirty.

For this technique, choose only safe natural paints.

Sponge painting

Pictures drawn with a sponge look very unusual and beautiful.

1. Prepare saucers with paint, a bowl of water and a few pieces of regular sponges for cleaning the house.
2. It is better if the sponge has a clear shape, for example a circle or rectangle.
3. A picture drawn with a sponge can be completed with felt-tip pens or a brush.

It is better to take several sponges to make the drawing more interesting and the drawing process entertaining.

Wax drawings

To draw, take a regular paraffin or wax candle. Draw patterns or write words on a piece of paper with your child. At first, everything drawn will be invisible to the eye, but reassure your baby: miracles will begin when the colors come into play!

Carefully paint over the leaf with watercolors. The paint will roll off the waxed parts of the sheet and form a beautiful unusual picture.

Drawing circle: pros and cons

A great way to both teach your child to draw and develop his communication skills is to send him to special classes. Like all clubs, such classes have their pros and cons:

Pros:

• classes are taught by an experienced artist;
• the child communicates with children of his own age, there is a spirit of competition in the group, which means there is motivation not to be lazy;
• motivation is periodic exhibitions and competitions;
• training takes place according to a special program.

Minuses:

• classes take place in a group, and the teacher does not always have time to approach your child;
• classes are paid (often quite expensive);
• It’s better not to miss lessons so as not to fall behind the group.

You can also send your child to individual drawing lessons. But remember that the cost of such classes is several times higher than classes in a group. Also, there is no competitive spirit in individual lessons.

Another way to teach your child painting is through video lessons. You can download them on the Internet or buy a ready-made program in specialized stores.

At what age should a child start to study painting professionally, each parent decides for himself.

Conclusion

No matter how old your child is, it’s never too late to teach him how to draw. Whether you do this at home or send your child to special lessons, it is important to do everything step by step so as not to discourage your child from wanting to create.

Many psychologists can easily determine a person’s state by what and how he draws. With the help of drawing, young children express their knowledge, skills, and consolidate in their memory everything they saw. A craving for art awakens in a child between the ages of 1 and 1.5 years.

How to help your baby express his thoughts and emotions on paper? How to teach a 1, 2, 3 year old child to draw and what is needed for this? How are such activities useful? We will find out about everything.

The benefits of drawing for children

All the baby's talents and capabilities are at his fingertips. The better developed a child’s small movements are, such as fastening and unfastening buttons, buttons, holding colored chalk, drawing straight and curved lines, etc., the smarter the baby. It is recommended to teach children to draw from the moment they become interested in what you are doing there with pen on paper.

Drawing is a comprehensive activity that will help your child:

• develop fine motor skills;
• develop speech;
• develop imagination;
• learn to express feelings and emotions;
• develop the concept of aesthetics;
• lay down basic concepts about the harmonious combination of colors;
• lay down the concept of effort and results.

While drawing, the baby warms up his fingers well, and everyone has long known how fine motor skills affect the formation of a child’s speech. To create a drawing, the child figures out what and how to draw, what tools to use. To better stimulate creative and logical thinking, you can and should invite your child to complete the missing parts of the picture, decorate them with patterns to suit his taste and color.

In a bad mood, the child’s drawings will be pale, dark, and gray. In good conditions – bright and colorful. This is an excellent clue to the parents’ emotional state of the baby.

Over time, children understand that there are different tone palettes, and begin to color drawing templates, choosing:

• for leaves shades of green;
• for clouds - blue, blue, violet colors;
• flowers are painted in red, yellow, pink tones.

This helps them in adult life to combine colors in clothes, interiors, and for girls - in makeup.

But most importantly, the child makes a certain effort and effort when creating a drawing. And when he sees his mother’s smile and his drawings carefully hung on the wall, he understands that working and trying is good, his parents appreciate it, which means he needs to continue in the same spirit, or better yet, draw everything even more beautiful, so that They took the frame and glazed it. Well, this is exactly how 2-3 year old children don’t think yet, but you get the idea.

In the meantime, it’s a long way from an art gallery and the child is still quite a baby, let’s consider different techniques with which to teach a child to draw with a pencil, chalk or paints - like two fingers on the asphalt.

Drawing techniques for children

A simple way to teach a child to draw at 1 year old, what and how to offer for drawing to children from 2 years old, what technique should a child master at 3 years old, draw with fingers, with dots or using numbers - everything in order.

Finger painting

This is the most accessible way of drawing for 1-year-old children and excellent entertainment for children 2-3 years old. Let's look at this drawing for children step by step:

1. Prepare your work area. It is better to illuminate an area on an uncovered floor - it will be easier to clean up after the baby’s creative search. Or use oilcloth. You can draw at the table, but this is for older children.
2. Spread whatman paper A1 on the floor (this is a paper format the size of 8 album sheets) - creativity needs space.
3. Prepare jars of finger painting paints.
4. Undress your baby down to his panties. Believe me, it will be covered in paint, and after painting it needs to be bathed.
5. Sit your child on the edge of whatman paper, give him paints and show him how to draw.

And you can draw in any way:

• Apply paint to the sponge. Let the baby press it with his finger and make impressions on the paper. Such prints can be turned into funny faces.
• If you apply several colors to the sponge, the prints will turn out colored.
• Here's how to play with different prints:

• You can create a real forest clearing from your fingers:

• You can draw lions:

When the prints come out well and are no longer interesting for kids, you can use different templates for finger painting. You can sketch the space inside the outline with your fingers and decorate it with patterns.

We chose simple templates:

• mitten;

• cat;

• bird;

• fish;

• butterfly.

Try not to use templates from children's painting books for drawing. They involve drawn details, and for the child to develop creative thinking, a general silhouette is enough; let him come up with the details himself.

Drawing by points

Who among you doesn’t remember connecting the dots in an album to get drawings of flowers and animals? This way the child will learn to draw straight and curved lines and combine them into a picture.

Here are some examples of "dot" drawings:

• elephant;

• lamb;

• owl;

• horse

Having connected the dots, the child will be happy to color the resulting drawing.

Drawing with numbers

Who doesn’t remember how to draw a real swan from the number 2? This is yesterday. Today you can draw anyone from numbers and figures. For example:

• rabbit from 6 and 0;

• dog from 6 and 1;

• shark of two 2;

• koala from 1 and 9;

• sleeping duck from 2 and 9.

Drawing by numbers is important for children aged 3 years, so the baby will better remember the outline of the numbers.

How to teach a child to draw trees step by step

When your child has mastered simple drawing techniques, you can begin to create real pictures on a blank sheet of paper. The easiest way to start is by drawing trees step by step, using the following simple step-by-step examples of drawings for children:

• tree of straight lines with a crown;

• a tree of straight lines with separate leaves;

• spruce made of straight lines;

• birch tree (for children over 3 years old).

With age, the baby will not need such stages of drawing as:

• creating a basic frame;
• giving the frame shape;
• coloring the outline.

He will draw the trunk, branches, and foliage quite independently. And then he guesses, or you tell him, that the tree grows on the ground, there may be bushes and flowers near it, and the sun is shining above the tree.

You can help your child by explaining the basic rules and clearly demonstrating the process of image transfer.

Basic rules for drawing a person

It is best to start drawing with a pencil. For children, this method is most acceptable, since it is possible to correct the error by erasing the incorrect lines with an eraser.

Before starting work, it is necessary to explain the difference between an adult and a child. One of the main ones is height and proportions.

Simple rules:

• The measurement criterion is the head. From his own observations, a child at this age already knows that adults are taller, but the proportions are not disturbed. This is explained by the head to body ratio. In children, the head will be larger in relation to the body, respectively, in adults it will be smaller.
• The length of the arms should not be greater than the length of the legs.
• The elbow is at waist level, and the hand cannot be below the knee.
• The palm is smaller than the foot.
• Men have wider shoulders, women have wider hips.

Stages of drawing a human figure

Step-by-step drawing of a person begins with determining the size and location on the sheet. Having marked the top point (top of the head) and the bottom (feet), draw an auxiliary line connecting them. Now it is necessary to note: If this is a child, it should not be less than a fifth of the entire line, if it is an adult, it should not exceed a sixth. The head is depicted as an oval. We divide the remaining part of the auxiliary vertical line with small lines into parts equal to the size of the head.

Having decided on the head, we draw other parts of the body step by step with the children.

Features of a baby's drawing

Between the neck and the belt, 1 - 1.5 head sizes can be roughly accommodated (this is approximately the middle of the auxiliary line). The elbows will also be located at this level. Let's celebrate.

The knees will be located at the level of the second line from the bottom (the first is the end point).

The width of a child’s shoulders almost does not exceed the width of his head. Stepping back a little from it, draw a shoulder line (length no more than 1.5 times the size of the head).

Draw lines from the shoulders to the belt line and the same size below - these will be the arms.

Stepping back from the waist, roughly half the head, we draw the line of the pelvis.

The lines of the legs are drawn from the pelvis line to the end.

The baby's "frame" is ready.

Now that you know where the different parts of the body should be located, you can start drawing. In this case, you need to take into account the muscles of the arms and legs, the chest, and when drawing panties - the distance between the line of the pelvis and the end of the torso. To make it easier to determine the width of the chest, you can draw an oval from the head to the pelvic line, tapering slightly towards the bottom.

Having given volume to the frame, we draw clothes. It can be tight or loose, it doesn't matter anymore.

When working, it is important to take into account step-by-step drawing. For children 7-9 years old, it is quite possible to understand the need for sequence of images.

Drawing adults

Drawing an adult is carried out according to the same principle.

After dividing the central line into parts equal to the size of the head (there should be 7-8 parts, depending on the height of the person being depicted), the belt line is marked. It is located, conditionally, at the third mark from the head (or the fourth from the top point, the crown). Like the baby, the elbows will be on the same line.

The location of the knees is at the level of the 6th line (if the person is tall) or between the 5th and 6th (if the person is of average height).

Thus, in an adult, unlike a baby, the part of the body from the waist to the feet is longer.

Shoulder width on average accommodates two heads. For men they will be slightly wider, for women they will be narrower.

The designation of arms and legs follows the same pattern as for a baby. We also add volume and draw clothes.

Step-by-step pencil drawing as the basis for a future composition

Schematic step-by-step drawing with a simple pencil allows the child to most realistically depict what he wants. Using the initial frame (schematic representation in the form of lines and dashes), the figure can be given any position. Thus, in the picture the person can move, sit, etc. This will help you build the right composition and get a complete drawing.

Step-by-step drawing for children 7-9 years old makes it possible to correctly form the child’s understanding of the structure of the human figure. At this age, children are able not only to master this technique, but also to further improve their skills.
