To make drawing easier, you can use the templates and lessons given below. Do not forget that a child’s creativity is his creativity. It is beautiful in any form, as a way of self-expression.

How to draw drawings for May 9, Victory Day?

  • Come up with a plot for your future drawing. After all, an idea is the first step towards realizing a plan.
  • The composition of the drawing is very important if you want to depict multiple details. Also think about the background and small elements
  • If the drawing is complex, first draw a draft sketch, where the placement of the main elements will be visible
  • Think about what you will draw with. Prepare everything you need so you don’t have to be distracted from the process later
  • Draw a sketch with a pencil, you can use a template
  • Haste is a bad help. If you feel tired, take a break
  • After finishing the drawing, evaluate it critically. Look at your creation as if from the outside. Perhaps something needs to be fixed
  • Come up with a name for the drawing that will correspond to the idea

Templates for drawing and copying in pencil

  • Use templates to ensure that the contours of the future drawing are smooth and correct
  • There are two ways to use the template: using a window (lamp) or tracing paper
  • Print the template you like on your printer. It should be exactly the same size as the future drawing.
  • Now place the tracing paper on the printout and carefully outline the template. Then place the tracing paper on a clean sheet of paper and press the outline with force. Now the invisible pressed outline of the template is on the paper
  • The second method is even simpler. Place the printed template under a piece of clean paper and place it in the light (for example, on a window). Trace the emerging contours with a simple pencil

Pencil drawing of a tank

  • It will be easier to draw a tank if you divide the drawing process into several stages
  • Visually divide a sheet of paper into zones. Mark the horizon line. If there is more than one tank, mark all the objects on paper
  • Decide which side the tank will be facing towards the viewer. The simplest angle is a side view
  • To begin, depict the body and caterpillar of the tank by drawing straight basic lines. Connect them, respecting the proportions
  • Next we draw the tank turret, barrel, gas tank and wheels
  • The important part of drawing is the details. Try to give them special attention
  • When the tank is ready, work on the background of the picture. It should favorably emphasize the main object

Airplane drawing in pencil

  • Carefully study the model of the aircraft you are going to depict. Military aircraft differ in structure from passenger aircraft
  • Pay attention to the proportions of the future aircraft. Especially the wings and tail
  • Contour lines will help draw the base
  • When the outline is ready, select the tail and wings
  • Erase extra auxiliary lines after the base is drawn.
  • Painting a military aircraft is complex. Be careful especially when working with liquid paints

How to draw a carnation?

  • Red carnations are a symbol of May 9, so it would be appropriate to add them to any design composition
  • The hardest part of a flower to draw is the bud. Please note that the carnation has a complex shape, the petals have pointed ends. The bud has a trapezoidal shape that tapers towards the bottom
  • You can draw several carnations in a bouquet, some of the buds will be open, and some will be closed
  • Next we start drawing the stem and leaves. To make the leaves look natural, depict them as “fused” with the stem as possible
  • The color of carnations can be different: red, burgundy, pink or white. But on May 9, it is most appropriate to depict red flowers

How to draw a star for May 9?

  • The difficulty of drawing a star is that it must be even and proportional
  • To begin, draw a base circle. It must be the same size as our future star
  • Inside the circle we draw two lines in the form of a cross, the center of which is the center of the circle
  • We will get a circle divided into quarters. Then we draw two more lines so that our circle is now divided into 8 segments
  • Now we divide the opposite segments in half
  • The resulting lines in the end are the guidelines for our future five-pointed star. Auxiliary lines can be erased
  • Now we connect our landmarks into a star and decorate it at our discretion

Victory salute drawing

  • The fireworks will look good against the backdrop of the city. Single fireworks in the sky are very difficult to identify
  • Fireworks should be as bright as possible, but not blend in with other details
  • Since fireworks are launched at night, the main background of the picture should be dark
  • Fireworks are not only symbols of Victory. Therefore, when depicting fireworks specifically for this holiday, you should depict some other auxiliary details

Flowers drawing

  • Flowers are the easiest to draw, as this drawing offers many options and ideas.
  • To show that the flowers are dedicated specifically to the Victory Day, you can depict them tied with a St. George's ribbon
  • Flowers are depicted in the hands of soldiers and veterans, laid at monuments or at the eternal flame
  • On May 9 you can draw carnations, tulips, daisies, wildflowers

Eternal flame drawing

  • The eternal flame is quite difficult to depict. The first important detail is the base of the monument, the second is the flame
  • The base is usually shaped like a star, which is placed on the ground. All proportions must be observed to make the base realistic.
  • Using shadows and textures, add volume to the resulting monument
  • An important detail is the flame. It shouldn’t be too tall, but it should still stand out from the background.
  • The eternal flame is usually located near monuments in the park. Flowers are laid on him. All this needs to be depicted in the drawing. The background is no less important than the main composition

Peace Dove Drawing

  • The dove of peace is a bird that symbolizes world peace
  • Doves are depicted with an olive branch in their beak, sometimes against the backdrop of the globe.
  • The color of the dove is white. It’s easy to draw it using one of the templates

Drawing of St. George's ribbon

  • St. George's ribbon is a ribbon that consists of orange and black stripes
  • There are five lines in total. The extreme ones are black
  • The St. George ribbon is depicted as a zigzag, loop or part of some other object in the drawing

How to draw a soldier?

  • Drawing a soldier is not easy, as you need to correctly draw the proportions of the human body, details of clothing and weapons
  • If you're not good at drawing small elements like the face and hands, draw a soldier in the distance
  • The first stage is the location of the soldier against the background and his proportions
  • To make drawing easier, draw auxiliary horizontal lines on the sheet. Observing the proportions, draw a sketch of the head, body, legs and arms
  • Look at the image from afar. If you are happy with everything, you can draw lines and remove auxiliary landmarks
  • Now let's get down to the details. We draw the face, headdress, elements of clothing and shoes. The soldier's facial expression must correspond to the main idea of ​​the drawing
  • Don't forget about the background. To make the soldier look realistic, connect him with other elements of the picture

What is the easiest thing for children to draw for a competition?

  • Bouquet of carnations with St. George's ribbon
  • War Hero Award
  • The inscription “May 9” in the form of a St. George ribbon
  • Military parade
  • Dove of peace

There is a fairly common belief that some people are good at drawing, while others lack creativity. This statement is completely wrong; every person is talented from birth. I suggest you familiarize yourself with how you can help your child express himself in the artistic field.

What could be more enjoyable than drawing with your child? Especially when there is an event to which you can dedicate your work of art. Victory Day is a solemn holiday that deserves attention. In addition to creating a drawing, you can introduce your child a little to history and tell him about the great feat of our ancestors.

How to draw drawings for May 9 - Victory Day?

There are several ways to sketch:

  • Through carbon paper or a gap (for example, placing the original drawing on the glass, press a blank sheet of paper on top of it and trace the lines). The easiest way to copy an image
  • By cells. You can transfer the original drawing to a sheet of paper in a box, and then redraw it, or draw both sheets into squares of the same size. If the image you want to draw is on your computer, you don’t have to print it, but make a grid in the Paint program:


  • In the form of geometric shapes:
    -Measure the height and width of the original drawing, make a frame for yourself of the limits of the drawing
    -Before you start redrawing, try to imagine the picture in the form of simple shapes: square, oval, circle
    -Imagine the relationship between horizontal and vertical
    -Start adding details by measuring their size with a pencil on the original drawing
    -Round sharp corners, blend lines
    -Add what is missing
  • Arbitrary lines. In this case, you simply redraw the image, maintaining the proportions by eye, without measurements or aids. The most difficult method of copying, often the copy is very different from the original image

Templates for drawing and copying in pencil

  • The May 9 holiday, like any other, has its own symbolism and distinctive features. For example, this image of the eternal flame:

Boys love tanks, so why not learn how to draw them? In order to learn how to draw a tank you will need:

  • A simple pencil of medium hardness (for the ability to draw lines of different thicknesses or shade)
  • Ruler (not everyone is good at drawing straight lines)
  • Paper
  • Soft eraser

If you have prepared everything you need, start drawing:

  1. Draw with simple shapes
  2. Draw or outline the base for the tracks and body, and mark the location of the wheels in the outline for the tracks. There should be 5 of them of the same width and two small ones on the sides
  3. Draw the tower and the barrel. The tower is a beveled rectangle
  4. Draw five wheels of the same size and one smaller one.
  5. Round off the lines of the turret and tracks
  6. Draw the gas tank and hatch, draw small details on the tower
  7. Draw the tank in detail, add the outline of the wheels, draw the axles.
  8. Use an eraser to remove excess lines, you can shade it a little


Perhaps the algorithm described above is a little complicated for your child. For preschool children, you can simplify the drawing a little:


Of course, we must not forget about the smallest artists. The following tank model is suitable for kids:



For such a simple but cute tank, start drawing it from the base and tracks. In this case, it will be 2 ovals flattened on top. Then move on to the tower and cannon. If you wish, you can add your own details (gas tank, hatch, tank driver).

Drawing on the cells allows you to combine business with pleasure. With this technique, you not only end up with a proportionally correct image, but also develop the child’s fine motor skills and his imagination, because only the outline is drawn in the cells, and the baby has to come up with the internal content.



Airplane drawing in pencil

Of course, there are a lot of types of airplanes, but let’s first look at how to draw military and passenger airplanes.

When drawing a military aircraft, sharp angles and strong lines predominate, so keep a ruler handy

  1. Using a ruler, draw the main lines of the body, which you will later use as a guide. On the main horizontal line, draw a small rectangle on the right side. This will be the cockpit. Don’t forget to make additional lines on the wings - flaps
  2. Trace the contours and give the plane its shape. Start tracing from the nose, making it pointed, move to the wings last to see the proportions
  3. Separate the nose with a curved line, and round the corners of the rectangle (cockpit)
  4. Take care of the wings. Draw the rockets on the edges, and mark the flaps on the sides with rectangles. If desired, you can add inscriptions or identification marks
  5. Add tail details
  6. Remove excess lines with an eraser, shade where necessary, colorize


A passenger aircraft is dominated by smooth semicircular lines:

  • Start drawing from the body of the plane, it is an elongated oval. Using a ruler, draw a line for the wingspan and outline the tail section
  • Add wing lines to create triangles, draw the top line of the tail
  • Using small circles, depict the aircraft's turbines at the tail.
  • Draw the turbines to create cylinders, shape the wings
  • Draw a line in the middle of the oval to indicate the windows


How to draw a passenger plane
  • Draw the details and remove unnecessary lines


For children of preschool and primary school age, use the following algorithm:





Another invariable attribute of Victory Day is, of course, cloves. Like any flower, start drawing from the stem - straight lines, then the base of the flower - an oval and the petals - of any shape.

A distinctive feature of carnations is the jagged edges of the petals, so do not draw straight edges of the petals at the beginning of the drawing to make it easier to erase unnecessary lines.

What is the easiest thing for children to draw for a competition?

The plot of the drawing for the competition can be completely different and is limited only by your imagination. It could be a star with a ribbon, a soldier being greeted by his parents, a battlefield, a holiday fireworks display, and much, much more.

We invite you to look at a few children's drawings for Victory Day, and perhaps they will give you the idea of ​​​​creating your own unique competition work:



In this lesson you can learn how to draw a soldier using a pencil and your own patience.

Previously, we have already drawn drawings on military themes:

In drawing a soldier, you may also find the “” lesson useful, but this is for in-depth understanding. So let's get started.

First we make a base-marking, such a frame for the body of our soldier. At the top there is an oval in the form of a head. Then it connects to the body of two trapezoids, then the line of the legs and also the lines of the arms. Did it look like the picture below? Let's move on.

Within the oval we need to draw the soldier’s head-face. First, we mark the oval with guide lines and draw ears on the sides. Draw the eyes and eyebrows along a horizontal line, and a little lower – the nose and mouth. Add lines to the ears, draw a little short hair of the soldier.

We draw a cap on top. Add its top, as well as a star. Let's finish drawing the neck.

So, our head is ready, we can finish drawing the collar and shoulders of our friend.

The next step will be to draw its shape, or rather its upper part. We draw shoulder straps and a belt.

Pockets, buttons and a star on the belt should also be depicted on the top of the form.

Now you need to draw the lower part - the trousers. Pay attention to the folds.

Don't forget to also draw the hands of our soldier in uniform. We draw the sleeves step by step, and then draw the palms. It won't be very easy for beginners to draw detailed hands, so everything is very sketchy.

All that remains is to draw the boots.

On May 9, all of Russia celebrates a great holiday - Victory Day. To talk about what kind of holiday this is in a playful way, and at the same time prepare a gift for veterans, draw a picture with your child.

Drawing is an important element necessary for the harmonious development of a child.

Psychologists say that before the age of 8, you should not teach a child to draw or point out mistakes, thereby you are imposing your own vision of the world on him.

Before you sit your child down to draw, tell him about the theme of the upcoming holiday, the feat of the Russian people and the dedication of the soldiers, tell him about your relatives who fought and their merits. Show photos from the front and listen to war songs, all this will help you gain the necessary mood. Explain that on this day we always say “thank you” to veterans, and any veteran will be pleased to receive a sincere children’s drawing.
