How to draw easy and beautiful New Year's drawings step by step with a pencil?

Let's start with the simplest drawing. A child can handle it even without adult help. For our drawing we use a classic plot: a snow-covered park and a snowman next to a Christmas tree decorated with balls.

If the drawing works out, then start creating other New Year's pictures. There are many step-by-step lessons on such a blessed topic as “New Year” in this article.

  • In the lower half of the sheet, draw a slightly upward curved line. This will be the horizon.
  • On the left side of the sheet we will draw another line, which will be a fence, and on the right side we will outline tree trunks with several large branches at the tops.
  • The trees, like the fence, are far away, so we draw them small. As you can see, everything is very simple.


Draw a horizon line, several trees and a fence
  • Trees also rise above the fence: we draw them large at the edge of the leaf, and small ones closer to the middle.
  • Let's draw vertical lines on the fence. These are partitions. Closer to the edge they are located far from each other, and then - closer and closer.
  • Draw two circles in the center of the sheet. The bottom one is larger than the top one.


Let's draw a snowman in the center
  • Let's draw the third snowball of a snowman. And we will show the crowns of trees covered with snow on the right and left.


Finishing the snowman
  • We draw the snowman coal eyes, a long sharp nose and an arched short mouth.
  • There is a bucket on the snowman’s head; we’ll draw it as a rectangle, but we’ll mark the bottom with a small oval on top, because it’s covered with snow.


Draw hands, eyes and buttons
  • The snowman's hands are sticks with several branches instead of fingers. On the middle snowball we will mark the snowman’s buttons with dots.
  • Now let's draw a pine twig in the snowman's hand. Let's draw a line and draw a thick, dense line on it at a slight angle. These will be needles.


Drawing a pine twig in the hands of a snowman
  • Next to the snowman we will outline the top and base of the Christmas tree.
  • We draw a schematic diagram of the crown of the Christmas tree and use a small rectangle to mark the visible piece of the trunk.


Drawing a Christmas tree

An example of a drawing was taken from the site lesyadraw.ru.

Here are some cards that will help you create your own New Year's fairy tale.








Let's try to depict the Snow Maiden and Father Frost with a pencil, as artists draw them on postcards. What would New Year be without these characters? We will focus on this postcard:

DRAWING SANTA CLAUS

  • Let's outline the outline of the figure of Santa Claus in the form of a large cone with a circle at the top.
  • The circle is the head, and we will need to draw symmetrical facial features on it. Therefore, we draw two intersecting lines inside. We also divide the cone into two halves. Let us denote the arms and staff with short lines.

  • We draw without pressing the pencil, so as not to spoil the picture with indelible lines. Let's outline the legs of Santa Claus with lines.
  • Let's draw Santa Claus's face: let's start with the nose, the eyes are located along the horizontal line. Let's complete the lush eyebrows and mustache. The enlarged fragment of the figure shows how to do this.
  • Using a fluffy zigzag we will draw a hat, beard, collar, fur on a fur coat.
  • Drawing the face of Santa Claus. First, draw the nose, then the eyes, mustache, mouth and eyebrows. Draw the mittens and belt with straight lines.
  • On both sides of the line that we drew for the staff, we will draw one straight line to give the staff volume. Draw a star on the top of the staff. Look at the picture to see how to make it shine.
  • All we have to do is erase all the auxiliary lines and add paint. Santa Claus is ready!

New Year's balls and toys: pencil drawings

It is impossible to imagine the New Year without the obligatory attributes: a Christmas tree, Christmas tree decorations and toys, all kinds of garlands. Let's try to draw New Year's balls and toys.

Here's what we'll draw:



Drawing New Year's toys
  • Let's start with the simplest thing - the New Year's ball. It is not at all difficult to draw if you can draw an even circle.
  • After this, we’ll draw a “pimply” on top, to which the eye of the holder and the thread are attached: we’ll erase a small section of the circle at the top and draw the missing part.



New Year's ball with Santa Claus



Let's draw a toy with a “tail” narrowed at the bottom. It's more difficult to draw.

  • Draw a circle and divide it into two halves with a vertical line, continuing it beyond the boundaries of the circle.
  • We outline the outline, depicting the rectangular top and sharp bottom of the toy.
  • On the top part we draw a metal part-mount and come up with a pattern with which the toy is painted. Let's decorate.


Toy narrowed at the bottom


Let's draw another New Year's toy. It resembles an icicle in shape, only the edges are twisted in the form of a spiral.

  • Let's start from the top: draw a figure as in the picture.
  • Let's draw two more segments from below, and make the last one sharp and elongated. Again we draw the mount on the top and color it.


We complete the segments of the New Year's toy from below

New Year cards: pencil drawings

Interesting New Year's cards are those that depict not the usual scenes with Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, but children playing in the snow, a round dance around the Christmas tree, kids with gifts or animals with gifts.

Let's draw a postcard showing a baby in a New Year's suit. The baby is dressed in a New Year's deer costume. That's what we will draw:


  • Let's draw two circles: one on top of the other. The lower one (this will be the body) is larger than the upper one and has the shape of an oval, the upper one (this will be the head) is a small circle.
  • On top of the small circle we will draw another small semicircle and add a decorative element of the hat - a protruding deer nose.


  • Let's paint a small circle - the nose. Let's draw the initial lines of the branched horns and ears.
Paint over the nose and outline the horns
  • Let's complete the horns by drawing one more line at a short distance and connecting them at the tops of the horns.
  • Inside each ear, stepping back a little from the edge, draw another line. This will be the light part of the ear.
  • We draw the feet, which are made in the form of hooves, and the lower part of the baby’s body.
Let's draw the horns and ears
  • Along the body we will draw two lines of lowered arms and lines of the white part of the suit.
  • At this stage, you can erase the auxiliary lines.


Select the white part of the suit on the stomach
  • We finish drawing the baby’s face: eyes with large eyelashes, eyebrows, nose and smiling mouth.
Drawing a face
  • The suit has a large bow. Let's draw it, and then draw another line on the cap behind the horns, thus marking the seams on the cap.
  • To make the feet look like hooves, draw two elongated ovals inside and shade them. Let's add volume with short dashed lines throughout the suit.
  • The drawing will become truly New Year's if you add fir branches and New Year's toys. The baby is holding a balloon in his hands with the inscription: “Happy New Year!”

Drawing a bow



Add shadows, a spruce branch and a balloon

Let's draw a postcard with a symbol the coming New Year - with a rooster. Our drawing will be stretched horizontally. Therefore, a landscape spread is suitable for drawing. You can take one landscape sheet, but then the drawing will turn out small.

  • We begin the drawing with the image of the head of Santa Claus in the upper half of the sheet. We draw a circle, and in it there are two intersecting lines.
  • Focusing on them, we will depict the facial features of Santa Claus: eyes, nose, mouth, beard, eyebrows and wrinkles. The picture shows how to draw correctly.


Drawing the face of Santa Claus
  • Draw a hat with a fur flap and a pompom, and at the bottom of the sheet draw a long rectangle for the inscription. Above the rectangle we draw the edges of the congratulatory canvas.




Finishing the congratulatory canvas
  • Let's depict the hands of Santa Claus. On both sides of his head we will draw rooster heads with round bulging eyes.


We draw the hands of Santa Claus and the heads of cockerels
  • Let's clarify the shape of Santa Claus's hands and add ribbons to the sides. Let's finish drawing the necks and bodies of the cockerels.
  • We will write an inscription on the congratulatory canvas and add falling snowflakes to the picture.




For coloring we use bright markers.

Drawing - New Year's fairy tale in pencil

One of the popular New Year's stories is Santa Claus rushing to the children with gifts on a sleigh. Let's try to depict it too.



  • Let's draw 2 lines that will divide the sheet into 4 parts (but don't press on the pencil. We need very light lines, which can then be easily erased. We will be guided by them in order to maintain the required dimensions of each element in the drawing.
  • At the bottom of the left side we draw a ski from a sled. There will be a horse on the right.
  • The wavy line under the sleigh is the ground covered with snow.


Drawing a ski from a sled
  • We draw the sleigh in the lower left square so that it does not protrude beyond the lines. To draw a horse on the opposite side of the sheet, draw the initial contours with three circles.
  • The circle for the head is the smallest. Let us denote the legs of a running horse with curved lines.
  • Now we outline all three circles to create the body of a horse. At this stage you can draw the eyes, ears and nostrils.


Draw the initial outlines of the sleigh and horse
  • Let's draw a lush mane for the horse, a tail, the tip of which is “hidden” behind the sleigh, and two legs bent high.
    To complete the contours of the horse, you need to draw the second pair of legs and hooves.


Drawing a horse
  • Let's start drawing Santa Claus. Let's limit the future outline of the character with two vertical lines. Let's use wavy lines to mark the fluffy edge of the hat and the collar.
  • Let's finish drawing the cap and a few curling hairs sticking out from under the cap.

Finishing the wooden elements of the harness
  • Adding some lines to the sleigh. We draw a big bag behind Santa Claus.


  • You can start coloring, or you can also add “Happy New Year!”


The most beloved holiday by all children and many adults is approaching. New Year's lights will soon light up in all the windows, Christmas trees and bright garlands will appear. Children imagine New Year's holidays in their own way. They have their own idol and favorite activities on the eve of Christmas.

Without fail, every child, when he picks up pencils or paints, tries to draw beautiful pictures on a New Year's theme. Every kindergarten or school hosts competitions and exhibitions of children's drawings for the New Year. Therefore, it is so important to help the child with the choice of the theme of his drawing, and with its complexity.

It's time to start drawing for the New Year 2020. They can be on a general theme, or you can draw the symbol of 2020, a white rat near a green Christmas tree. With the help of drawings, you can create a festive mood for yourself, bringing the long-awaited days of the holidays closer.

Everyone knows how to make a regular drawing look New Year's. To do this, just place a Christmas tree, Santa Claus, a snowman and a lot of snow on it. If a child is just starting to draw, then it’s time to instill traditions in him and show him the basics of easy drawing for the New Year.

According to traditions, no one can celebrate the New Year without gifts brought by Father Frost and Snow Maiden.

For those who want to draw a more complete composition, you can consider a sample of how to draw a picture for the New Year in stages.

The most important New Year's character is Santa Claus. He is considered a symbol of the holiday and all the children are just waiting for his appearance at the matinee, performance and at home. Some people think that he comes from the forest with the Snow Maiden, and many think that Father Frost comes to us on a sleigh drawn by reindeer or horses. Therefore, it would be good to learn how to depict these characters on paper in order to give a drawing to your mother for the New Year.

A sheet of paper must be placed horizontally in front of you. Draw 2 thin light lines in the middle of the sheet vertically and horizontally.

At the bottom of the sheet, draw a wavy line that will represent crushed snow. Also in the lower left corner we draw a sleigh ski.

We draw a carriage over the ski track. On the other bottom side we will begin to depict a horse. We draw three circles that display the head, torso (back and chest). Broken lines will show the front and back paws.

Outline the silhouette of the horse, drawing the horse's muzzle, mane and tail.

The sleigh is already ready, it’s time to start drawing Santa Claus.

On the left in the lower part of the upper left corner we draw a hat and collar.

Draw the face of Santa Claus and don't forget to draw his beard. Next, we continue to depict the grandfather’s body and the hand that holds the reins.

We finish drawing Santa Claus's coat, which he will wrap around with a belt.

Carefully examine the drawing and add small details - a bridle for a horse, reins, a saddle and other small elements.

The sleigh also needs to be supplemented with details - draw a pattern, fastening the ski track, and don’t forget about the bag with gifts.

These New Year's drawings are suitable for beginners. Finish the drawing by drawing the important lines with sharper lines, and erasing the supporting stripes. Don't forget about the New Year's inscription.

An important element of the holidays is also the New Year tree. If you learn to draw a Christmas tree step by step, you can decorate a New Year's card with it. Lay the sheet vertically. Draw a vertical line in the middle of the sheet (or the area where the tree will be located). Step back 5 cm from the top and draw a short line; we’ll also do the same, step back 5 cm from the bottom from the beginning of the vertical line and draw a line horizontally.

Draw the outline of the Christmas tree. We begin to draw under the top horizontal line, stepping back a little. Arrange the branches proportionally and evenly. Place the lower branches at the level of the lower horizontal line.

The Christmas tree is ready, all that remains is to decorate it with bright toys and not forget about the attribute of the New Year holidays - gifts.

There must be a large star shining at the top of the Christmas tree, and the trunk can be decorated with a large bow. We also decorate gift boxes with large bows.

You can color this drawing with paints, pencils or felt-tip pens.

If you want to pay more attention to detail, you can paint the Christmas tree balls with different patterns.

Drawing a Christmas ball on the New Year tree

This is the most common element that is used to decorate a New Year's drawing or card. From an early age, children understand that they should be bright and colorful. You can make the ball monochromatic, but if size and imagination allow, then come up with ornaments or even whole patterns.

Christmas tree decorations can have different shapes.




Beautiful Christmas balls can charge you with their brightness and fill you with a good mood.

DIY drawing for the New Year 2020

The year is soon approaching, the mascot of which will be the white metal rat. It would be symbolic to draw her in a New Year's drawing. You can draw a rat in a simple way to complement its character in the drawing for the new year 2020.

The presence of such a cute rat would be quite appropriate in a New Year’s drawing. The rat is one of the easiest animals to draw.

Drawings with the symbol of the coming year can be a wonderful addition to a postcard or home decoration. Drawing is an excellent educational activity that will help cheer up anyone. All you have to do is color your drawing. The rat can be gray or white, and you can also make a fantasy rat.

Easy New Year's pencil drawings step by step

Any drawing must begin with a sketch. First you need to come up with a plot - what will be shown in the picture and mark the location of each element on a piece of paper. Use thin lines to indicate the characters and elements of the future drawing for the new year. Then trace the main lines with a pencil, erasing the auxiliary ones.

Consider one of the easiest New Year's pencil drawings for kids.

If you show your child this step-by-step lesson, he will be able to complete the task even without your help.

at the bottom of the leaf draws a line curved upward, which will help depict the horizon. A fence will be shown on the left, and several trunks of future trees will be shown on the right.

Having shown the fence, also draw trees above it. In the middle of the sheet he draws a snowman - two circles of different sizes.

Draw another circle so they go from smallest to largest from top to bottom.

Draw the crowns of trees covered in snow.

The snowman clearly lacks details - we draw the eyes, mouth, nose and hands - sticks. Let's show a bucket on the head, and don't forget about the buttons.

The snowman will hold a Christmas tree branch in his hand. Show the needles on it.

Draw a Christmas tree near the snowman.

You can add drops of snow to the picture for clarity. You can color the New Year's drawing with pencils or paints.

Instead of a snowman, you can depict Santa Claus or the Snow Maiden.





Easy New Year's drawings in pencil for sketching with a pencil

For those who don’t want to learn to draw step by step, or don’t have time to draw lines and come up with plots, there are many options for beautiful New Year’s drawings for sketching. It could be anything related to the New Year holidays - snowflakes, Christmas trees, snowmen, Father Frost and the Snow Maiden.

Drawings for sketching are needed to help a child learn to compose compositions, scenes and full-fledged pictures. Having learned to sketch, any child will quickly learn to draw details and characters on their own.



Drawings for sketching for the new year 2020

Pictures for sketching are convenient because parents can keep their children busy with an exciting activity, and in the meantime calmly prepare for the New Year. This is quite a creative activity that develops children's creative thinking and imagination. Depending on the age and skills of the child, it is necessary to select the complexity of the picture to be drawn. The approaching year of the rat gives us themes for drawings for the new year.

Beautiful New Year's pencil drawings

The most striking are landscapes or drawings with winter activities. To show the New Year's mood, depict characters in the picture - a snowman, Santa Claus, a Christmas tree.

Beautiful drawing for the New Year: draw in stages

If a child is not yet able to draw independently, then step-by-step descriptions of drawing processes will be suitable for him. When each stage of creating a New Year's drawing is described and shown, it will be easier for the child to repeat it.

We start, as usual, with a pencil sketch. Using a simple pencil, mark the location of the main item - a jar and a book under it. Place a truck inside and three Christmas trees behind. The truck, in fact, consists of two figures - a cube and a parallelepiped. At this stage, you can immediately write an inscription on the book.

The main lines can be outlined with a thicker line, and the auxiliary ones can be erased. We create an uneven outline for the Christmas trees.

We paint the truck in any way - with pencils, felt-tip pens, markers in blue.

We mark the branches of the Christmas trees with dark green color, starting from the top with jerky movements. By leaving white gaps as you color, you will create an imitation of snow cover.

Let's go over the edges of the tree branches a second time to make the color darker in these places. This way our tree will be more voluminous. Draw snow under the car. This can be done with a blue or gray pencil. Use yellow to create highlights in the upper part of the glass jar.

We make strokes in the upper part of the jar with a light purple tint. There is no need to paint over the entire jar; leave a white sheet of paper in places. In some places we make the shadows on the truck a darker color than the truck itself. The truck's tires will be black with orange interiors. We need another dark green color to darken the edges of the trees.

Take your drawing details seriously. Let's paint the book on which the jar stands with blue and outline the inscription in black.

Use the same blue color on top of the jar, creating a heterogeneous effect. Make vertical shaded stripes, without being afraid to go into the truck or Christmas trees design, since they are inside the can. You need to create the effect of glass reflections.

Shadows will help add effectiveness and verisimilitude to your drawing. Darken the spine of the book and make a shadow of the can on the right.

Darken the jar with gray color. Use cool gray to complement the shadow under the lid and under the jar.

Vertical stripes need to be white. Show snow inside the jar with white dots. Behind the jar we will draw round balls that will create a light effect.

You can complete the drawing with an inscription.

Very beautiful New Year's drawings will be obtained if you pay attention to details - snowflakes, shadows, small elements.

New Year's drawings by cells: draw in a notebook for the New Year

It is much easier to draw on the cells than on a white sheet of paper. Especially if there are many schemes to display. For the New Year, you can draw wreaths, candles, Christmas trees, and Santa Claus on the cells. Each step must be located on its own cell and be of a certain color. Your child will learn to count faster thanks to this type of coloring.

To draw small New Year's drawings in squares, we will need a sheet of squared paper from a regular notebook, pencils or felt-tip pens. You can also color with colored pens or markers.

Children's New Year's drawings with paints

Since in winter we spend more time at home due to bad weather, we can do more creative work, which includes painting. Winter is a very beautiful time of year, and the New Year is an excellent occasion for a beautiful drawing.

Using simple drawing techniques you can beautifully depict a Christmas tree, a snowman and Santa Claus. Splashing a brush with white paint can create an imitation of snow and add realism to the picture.

To draw a beautiful picture with paints, you can also use auxiliary materials - felt-tip pens, markers, and scrap materials.

Gouache drawings for the New Year

A beautiful bright drawing can be created using gouache. Try to create a gouache landscape with white trees and snow-strewn roofs of houses.

Winter fills our lives with the atmosphere of a fairy tale. To experience it to the fullest, try drawing a picture for the New Year in gouache.

Use a pencil to mark the outlines of the main details and characters. In this case, these are Christmas trees and houses.

Let's start with an image of one Christmas tree and a house.

On both sides we will draw the outlines of more Christmas trees and houses.

The details should not be too small. Let's finish the fence and windows of the houses

Now let's color the picture with gouache. The Christmas trees will be bright green, and the houses should be brown, not too dark. A light blue color will help depict snow. The birds on the fence will help bring the picture to life.

Another example of a gouache drawing - a lonely house stands in the winter forest.

Smoke is pouring out of its chimney, the fir trees around are covered with white snow, and there is a trodden path leading from the house.

We also start with a pencil sketch

Let's draw the details step by step. Several Christmas trees need to be displayed behind the house. Place the moon and stars in the sky.

Start coloring with the sky and Christmas trees. We paint the month with light blue paint.

In the foreground we need to paint the snow with a blue tint, paint the Christmas trees green, and the houses will be brown.

The last step is to add details to our gouache drawing - the windows in the house and the light in them, the stars in the sky, the smoke from the chimneys.

Watercolor drawings for the New Year

It is impossible to imagine the New Year without decorations, gifts and children's crafts. Every child wants to give their parents a souvenir and a small gift. It could be just a watercolor drawing for the New Year.

To make a beautiful card with watercolors, we will need:

  • Paper
  • Pencil
  • Eraser
  • Jar of water
  • Palette
  • Brushes
  • Black gel pen
  • Watercolor paints

How to draw a SNOWMAN

(simple ways)

In our New Year's drawings, we are used to depicting a snowman in the form pyramids of three rounds, topped with a rectangle-bucket. A well-established stereotype.

But this is the same as portraying a person only “ standing at attention, hands at your sides" If seasoned artists depict a person from a variety of angles and poses, then young artists can depict their snowman from the same angles.

Here's an example snowman portrait drawing. We draw only the head of a snowman, wearing a creative hat, and add a New Year's twist to our drawing - for example, we hang a Christmas ball on the carrot nose.

You can put a bird on the snowman's nose. Or try to depict lively emotions on the snowman’s face - rosy cheeks, a tilt of the head, a soft smile - and notice the direction of the carrot. It is not necessary to draw the carrot strictly sideways horizontally. The carrot drawn down and to the side (diagonally) gives the snowman a touching look. And a New Year's hat with a pompom will add the spirit of the New Year to our drawing.

Our portrait of a snowman can have a lively emotion - he can look with touching tenderness at a flying snowflake. Or stretch your paw-twig towards the falling snow and throw back your head and look for a long time at the skies generous with snow.

A portrait of a snowman may have a touch of solidity– a tall hat, a clear symmetry of the nose and a gracefully tied scarf. Or maybe a snowman in a New Year's drawing like a slow-witted lout catching his hat in flight, pulled off by the wind. Good work for the children's New Year's drawing competition.

Here is an example of a New Year's drawing-portrait of a snowman - simple and step-by-step master class.

New Year's stories

with a snowman and a bird.

The painted snowman can hold a small bird in his hands. If you are good at drawing with gouache, then you can draw such a bright snowman in a knitted hat and a woolen scarf - with a red bird in his hand.

And if you are a beginner artist, then you can depict the same touching story with a bird in watercolors. And then, using a black pencil, draw clear silhouette contours and small details in the form of buttons and a nest with a sparrow. A very touching New Year's drawing.

Like this New Year's duet of a snowman and a bullfinch bird Even a child can draw. Simple shapes, and light application of shadows along the cap (darkening on one side, highlighting with white on the other side of the cap - this creates a visual volume-convexity). And around the snowman’s face we also apply light shadows - we add a little light gray-blue to the white - and with this “bluish” white we draw shadows around the circumference of the snowman’s face - this way we get the effect of a convex spherical face.

And here’s an idea for a New Year’s drawing based on the same plot, where a bird sleeps wrapped in the tip of a long snowman’s scarf

Snowman with his friend teddy bear.

And here's another drawing oil on canvas. Or maybe gouache draw the same one. First, we draw simple silhouettes... then we paint each element in its main color (white, green, light brown) and paint them in one color. And then we add additional shadows to each color (with a darker shade of the same color scheme we shade the snowman’s belly near the scarf and the circle around the teddy bear’s nose). And then with white gouache and an almost dry brush we add a white coating on the face and belly of the bear and the hat and scarf of the snowman.

That is, you just need to look carefully at the sample and poke the shaded brush into the same places where shadows are applied in our New Year’s drawing. And continue until your drawing looks like the original.

And here are some more simple examples of New Year's drawings with a snowman. In the left photo the snowman is holding in his paws-branches Christmas garland of light bulbs. A simple silhouette - simple light blue shadows on the round snowman. And whitish strokes of white paint over the black silhouette of the hat. Everything is simple if you look closely and figure out exactly how it’s done.

And here’s another one in the right photo above - GIRL wraps a snowman in a scarf. It seems that the drawing is complicated, but in reality everything is simple. Let me describe how to make such a New Year's drawing with your own hands for a school competition. So that each of you CLEARLY AND CLEARLY UNDERSTAND that the most complex drawings are actually created in very simple and understandable steps. As in principle, any work is done on the general principle - start, continue and finish. Same with drawings. So let's see how a complex New Year's drawing plot is born from simple steps.

MASTER CLASS: How to draw a snowman.

STEP 1 - You first need to divide a sheet of paper into a white and blue background - cover it with gouache. Dry this background.

STEP 2 - use white gouache to draw the silhouette of a snowman. Dry it and add blue uneven shadows on the white sides of the snowman. They smeared the shadows as they applied them – evenness is not needed here. Dry.

STEP 3 - Use a pencil to draw a silhouette of a girl. The lines are simple. But if you doubt your abilities, then you can draw the girl’s template directly from the screen of your laptop onto a sheet of paper placed on the screen, and transfer it as a carbon copy to your canvas. If you need to enlarge on the screen girl size, you press buttonCtrl with one hand and the other hand at the same time roll the mouse wheel forward– the image on the screen will increase. The wheel back will decrease. And if, when enlarged, the image moves sideways beyond the border of the screen, then the left/right arrows on your keyboard will help you move the screen.

STEP 4 - Paint each element of the girl with its own color - carefully with a thin brush, slowly.

STEP 5 – Dry the girl’s face and then carefully draw a bang on it with an almost dry brush. Using the opposite tip of the brush handle, draw the eyes, mouth and blush of the cheeks.

STEP 6 - Then draw scarf lines around the snowman. Paint it red. Dry it and on the scarf (and on the girl’s hat too) use a thin brush with white gouache to apply a pattern of white stripes and crosses.

STEP 7 – Finish drawing small silhouettes. Nose, eyes, smile and snowman buttons. Pocket on a girl's coat. String ties on the girl's hat.

STEP 8 - Draw dark silhouettes of houses and trees in the background along the horizon line. Place blue shadows on the snow under the snowman and under the girl.

As you can see, everything is simple. If you break down all the work step by step - into simple and understandable steps. To avoid overwork, you can do the first 3 steps in one evening, and leave the remaining steps for the second evening. It’s more pleasant to work this way – without fatigue and stress.

Snowmen busy

(children's story drawings).

You can draw a whole group of cheerful New Year's snowmen riding on a swing. Or come up with your own plot. You can peek at him on canvases of famous artists. And make a parody of a famous work of art, only the way it would look in the world of snowmen. Snowy Mona Lisa, with a mysterious smile, for example.

New Year characters

BEAR in a child's drawing.

Now let's talk about other characters with New Year's appearance. These are, of course, polar bears. In red hats with white pompoms.

Bears can be drawn in different styles. In different cartoon genres. Here are some options for a children's drawing competition.

The leaders of drawing circles can draw such a cute New Year's teddy bear in gouache. The drawing, mind you, was taken from an ordinary table paper napkin.

And here's New Year's drawings with bears whose eyes are dreamily closed. One little bear is looking forward to opening a gift. Another polar bear listens to a bird singing. Cute New Year's motifs - simple subjects for children's drawings for the New Year. It can be depicted on a greeting card or as an entry for a New Year's drawing competition at school.

Here a small master class on drawing a New Year's bear on a greeting card.

But you can draw a bear not only wearing a classic red and white New Year's hat. The bear in your drawing may have a variety of New Year's paraphernalia(masquerade costumes, funny onesies in the Santa Claus style, knitted sweaters with deer, skis, skates, etc.). And you don’t have to be able to draw the whole bear - you can do something more cunning. And draw just a bear's head sticking out behind a pile of gift boxes(as in the right picture from the photo below).

PENGUIN in a New Year's drawing

for a school competition

And of course, a winter drawing with a New Year's theme - these are funny penguins. These birds are also considered northern, although they live at the south pole. But the South Pole also has snowy winters - so the penguin is also a New Year's character.

Here are options for New Year's drawings with penguins, which are also easy to depict using children's strength, with a little parental help.

You just need to look carefully and understand what steps you need to take in order to ultimately get this image (in gouache, watercolor, or crayons). The main thing is to take your time and let one painted element dry before painting the second.

Below is a fairly simple gouache drawing made by children's hands. It only seems complicated - because there are a lot of small black details on it (black lines on the scarf, rounded curls on the fur, loops on the balls. But in fact, look carefully at each element - and you will understand how simple it is.

STEP 1 - First, paint over the background of the sheet with blue gouache - stains and stains are welcome - even if the background color is not even.

STEP 2 - The penguin itself is an ordinary oval. First it was painted with white gouache. And then they made a thick black outline around the edges (including the protrusions of the wings).

STEP 3 - Then we draw a white hat - wait until it dries - and apply stripes of different colors to it one by one. Then we draw the scarf - also with white gouache - dry it, and apply stripes.

STEP 4 - Draw a New Year's tree on top with white color - dry it - and apply red oblique stripes to it.

STEP 5 - Draw the legs and beak. On the background we draw white lines of snowflakes (crosswise and diagonally, and round dots at the tips).

STEP 6 - Christmas balls - also just round spots of white gouache - and on top of the circle with colored gouache.

You can draw something like this penguin in the form of skittles- in a long New Year's cap. Also an easy-to-make penguin model.

Here are a few step-by-step master classes on New Year's drawings, where you can see how to draw a penguin yourself step by step.

Your penguin can be decorated with a variety of hats and gifts.

How to draw a New Year's deer.

The simplest images of a deer are a DEER FROM TWO PALM (left drawing in the picture below). Or deer FRONT VIEW. Everyone drew such a deer in childhood (a ball of a face, leaf-like ears, twig-like horns, and two columns of legs with hooves).

You can paint a deer in a sitting position (round tummy-pouch, two front legs hanging on the sides, and the lower legs spread slightly to the sides).

And your deer may also be funny fat man. A sort of Santa Claus-fed specimen. It’s generally easy to draw such a deer yourself - its figure resembles an upside-down coffee cup - add short legs with hooves, a red nose - dots of eyes, and cute horns. Light-colored belly (in the shape of an arch), a hat and a scarf. Everything is simple and accessible.

Your New Year's drawing does not have to contain the WHOLE BODY OF THE DEER - from the antlers to the hooves. You can limit yourself to a very schematic (triangular) image of a deer’s head - as in the left picture below.

Or draw a deer's head in a CUTTED VIEW (as if he is looking through the edge of his nose into your window) - as in the right picture below

Here master class showing how to draw a New Year's drawing with a deer yourself.

Most often, a New Year's deer is drawn with Christmas tree decorations on the horns.

This technique can be performed in different stylizations of drawings. This could be a child's drawing of a deer (like the picture above).

Or your doe may be a graceful female doe with thick eyelashes hanging demurely downward. The Deer Lady is glamorous and majestic.

How to draw NEW YEAR

in the city, on the street.

And if you want to draw the NEW YEAR on the streets of the city, the festive atmosphere, cozy winter streets, Christmas trees in the city squares, then here is another selection of ideas for such New Year’s drawings.

Please note that all objects here are painted with paints. Then around the lines of houses it was made outline with a narrow gray frame along the contour of the paint(so that the elements of the drawing become more contrasting and the drawing acquires an overall stylization). The silhouettes of passers-by are round spots of faces, and trapezoidal silhouettes of jackets (just a spot of a jacket is applied with paint). Then, when the jacket silhouette dries, we take black felt-tip pen(or a marker) and on the spot of the coat we draw cut elements, pockets, collar, buttons, belt, cuff lines, etc.). In the same way, we highlight with a black marker subtle design elements– lines of roof tiles, window frames, etc.

If the size of the sheet of paper is not large, then it will be difficult to fit an entire street with houses. You can limit yourself to a Christmas tree in the square and draw a few children.

Here's a great idea for a New Year's drawing, where children ride on the skating rink.

Here's another idea for a New Year's city. True, here the city is depicted not in the picture, but in the form textile applications. But the compositional idea of ​​arranging houses and a Christmas tree in the drawing.

You can draw a city from the TOP VIEW, as if from the wing of an airplane. And then place it on the wide dome of the sky Santa Claus flying on a sleigh.

Or you can not draw a crowded and crowded city, but just draw a small forest hut and a decorated Christmas tree nearby. And the retreating Santa Claus, who has just left his gifts under the tree.

These are the ideas for New Year's drawings that I have collected for you today in one pile. I hope that your drawing for the school competition turns into a happy family get-together with brushes and paints. I wish everything to work out - in a magical New Year's way. Let the soul of the New Year touch the tip of your pencil or brush - and flow into your New Year's drawing.
Happy New Year to Your Family.
