New Year's drawings in pencil. Beautiful pictures with a Rooster

Waiting for the New Year will not be so tedious if you do something useful. You can start preparing gifts for loved ones, making decorations for the Christmas tree, taking care of the decor of your apartment, cutting out windows for windows, creating New Year's drawings on.

Children especially love to indulge in such activities. That is why parents are obliged to take care of their children’s leisure time during the New Year holidays: it should be easy, and most importantly, useful. If your child loves to draw and create amazing things with pencils, markers or paints, let him completely surrender to the creative process.

Who knows, maybe on New Year's Eve a wonderful winter painting or a cute New Year's card made with love will appear in your home.

Drawings of New Year characters

What would New Year be without everyone’s favorite Father Frost and Snow Maiden? Even if you don’t feel like an artist, with a little effort and perseverance, you can draw a beautiful fairy-tale character. Believe me, portraying Santa Claus and his charming granddaughter is not at all difficult.

Look at the pictures below and you will understand that even a beginner can cope with this task. In addition, today you can find step-by-step instructions for creating cartoon characters, following which your characters will turn out no worse than those of experienced artists.

I would like to note that for those who are just starting to “make friends” with a pencil, it is better to draw on a sheet of paper with a checkered pattern. This will make the task easier and make the picture more realistic.

In addition, you can use ready-made drawings of fairy-tale characters, print them and simply paint them.

New Year's landscape

Nature in winter is filled with inexplicable magic, which is felt in every breath of wind. Just look at the pristine snow that covers courtyards, roofs of houses, trees and bushes. Snowflakes sparkle in the sun like precious stones that you can’t take your eyes off.

Such an environment brings up a lot of wonderful pictures and memories in your head - these are the ones you can capture on paper. Winter landscapes are considered one of the most beautiful, and painting them is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. The main thing is to determine the technique in which you will work.

Crayons or pencils are perhaps the ideal option for those who are just starting to create. In addition, it does not entail serious financial expenses, which means it is suitable for everyone. Draw New Year's landscapes with your children, husband, mother and other relatives - it's exciting and fun.

Graphics - already skilled artists can handle this technique, because every stroke left on paper is important.
Watercolor is another easy way to create a beautiful winter design. With the help of watercolor paint it is possible to depict all the delights of this time of year and how nature changes.
Acrylic - these types of paints are usually used to paint on canvas and are not for beginners. Their main feature is that they dry quickly, so there will never be any drips on such a painting.
Oil - this option is chosen by professionals. Oil paintings evoke admiration and are able to show the true beauty of winter nature.

What to draw? Yes, everything your heart desires: a winter forest, a snow-covered yard, birds flying near the feeders, village houses, etc. If you don’t have a decent view in front of you, take our drawings as an example, transfer them to your paper, put them in a frame - what a gift for a loved one for the New Year 2018.

At the same time, you can be creative and create New Year's paraphernalia with your own hands. Look what wonderful balls you can draw using

Let's talk to you today about what signs you can use to guess that the New Year will soon come. On the one hand, there are tons of tangerines that are sold literally at every turn, as well as racks of Christmas trees standing next to tangerine sellers. Also, the New Year's mood is expressed in the festive decoration of all shops and public institutions, and the general joy of those around. More often. But another thing to understand is that outside the New Year’s time, drawings on windows, which have become so popular in the last few years, help.

Believe me, on glass you can very easily and without extra effort depict Father Frost, the Snow Maiden, most New Year’s characters, as well as a Christmas tree, snowflakes, tangerines and all other attributes of this holiday. Let's figure out which New Year's drawings for New Year 2017 will be the most popular, and not only on windows.

Basic information

The tradition of painting various fairy tales on your windows began during the USSR. Usually, such an important task was carried out by the younger generation of the family while the parents were preparing in the kitchen. And believe me, this process brought incredible moral pleasure to the children.

Now the tradition of painting windows on the New Year's holiday has migrated to the present time, so how about watching the Irony of Fate on December 31, preparing a bowl of Olivier and bags of tangerines near the Christmas tree. True, now the technology for creating drawings has become much simpler, better and of higher quality, because today’s children have received a large number of additional devices for this. Let's figure out how to decorate your home on New Year's Eve 2017 with the help of such an extraordinary and simple task.

What to draw?

Initially, it is worth deciding what exactly should be depicted on the window during such a period. Naturally, the most popular theme at this time will be New Year's. Previously, a postcard acted as a kind of help, from which the main characters of the “window fairy tale” were copied with their own hands. Now it is possible to use a variety of stencils. You can also create them yourself, or find a suitable option from the network and simply print it on a printer. And ready-made stencils are already sold in specialized stores and often all those characters that can be placed on one window are collected in one pack. And if you still decide to draw a picture on glass yourself, you can simply glue a blank to the back of it, and then simply draw on it, as if using the same stencil.

What to draw with?

This is another most important question, because it is indeed initially impossible to understand what exactly can be used to paint on glass. To create drawings on windows you can use:

special paint for drawings on glass;
regular gouache or gouache with glitter;
white watercolor mixed with gouache;
toothpaste, which can be used as an independent device, or diluted with gouache;
children's stained glass paints, which can be used to create reusable stickers;
artificial snow, which is sold in special cans and can be either plain white or with bright sparkles.

As an addition to this set, you should get a regular brush and foam sponges. By the way, you shouldn’t worry too much about such drawings - they all simply wash off after the holidays. Just moisten them with window cleaning liquid and leave for a few minutes.

Small tricks

If you want to get a holistic design in 2017 that looks organic from the outside and doesn’t hurt the eyes, you should use no more than 4 colors at the same time on one window. In this case, when the drawing dries completely, you will need to take black gouache and simply outline all the contours for clarity.

If we talk about how to create a real picture on glass step by step, it’s worth going over the correctness of all the steps. To begin with, it would be a good idea to thoroughly wash the window itself so that there are no streaks on it. After this, you need to draw on a piece of paper the layout that your glass canvas will look like at the end of the work. If you like this sketch, you can transfer the drawing to the window itself. If you use stencils, then you just need to glue them on the glass in the order shown in the sketch, and then start filling the empty areas with the colors you like. Now you should leave the finished painting to dry for a few minutes, and then very carefully remove all the glued paper. Next, you need to use a slightly damp cloth to remove all excess paint and begin to trace the resulting elements along the contour.

As a result, all you have to do is decorate the finished drawing on the window with additional elements: snowflakes, garlands, beads, sparkles, tinsel or fir branches. By the way, such drawings look very interesting in the evening when you put a candle on the windowsill. On the street in the snow, shadows of all the drawn characters appear, who dance amazing dances to the vibrations of the fire, and then it begins to seem that all the hard work of your work comes to life.

One small piece of advice - if you have tulle or curtains hanging on your window, you should just remove them until the design is completely ready, otherwise after decorating the windows you will have a global wash planned. It’s also worth involving the whole family in such an original work and turning on the appropriate New Year’s music. A good mood and a great time are guaranteed for everyone. Believe me, such an activity on the eve of 2017 will bring you all together much more than anything else. And even if you get dirty from head to toe and dirty half the room, the mood that will appear in you after finishing the work is incomparable to anything. Therefore, do not deny yourself the pleasure of creating an interesting holiday coziness on your windows, and let this help fill your home with real New Year’s magic.

I don’t know about you, but I get into the New Year’s mood already in November. And this is good. After all, there is a lot to do before the New Year: home decoration, cards, gifts...Therefore, you should start preparing in advance!

The history of the creation of the first snowman, according to an old legend, takes us back to the distant year 1493. It was then that Michelangelo Buonarotti, a sculptor, poet and architect, sculpted the first snow figure. But the first written mention of a beautiful huge snowman is found in one of the books of the 18th century. The 19th century was marked by a “warming” in the relationship between man and snowmen. These winter beauties become good heroes of holiday fairy tales, integral attributes of New Year's cards.

5. New Year (Christmas) wreath

Decorating a house with a Christmas and New Year's wreath is a very beautiful custom that came to us from Western countries. In recent years, New Year's wreaths have become a popular interior decoration.

“Weave” hand-drawn New Year’s wreaths from fir branches or holly, add red “Christmas star” flowers, fruits, ribbons, beads, and Christmas tree decorations. When composing compositions there is room for your imagination to run wild.

By the way, you can decorate a wreath not only with the usual New Year’s decorations, but also with everything that your imagination can tell you. For example - dried flowers, pine cones, berries, fruits, vegetables, cinnamon sticks, spices, citrus peels cut in a spiral, cayenne pepper, tangerines, apples, flowers, candies, sweets, Christmas cookies.

6. Socks for gifts

Do you know where the tradition of hanging socks on mantels for gifts came from?

According to legend, a poor man was worried that his daughters would not marry because he did not have a dowry for them.

Saint Nicholas, having learned about their plight, wanted to help them. On Christmas Eve, after the girls had hung their stockings on the fireplace to dry, he threw a few gold coins into the house's smoker. The coins landed in the stockings and filled them.

As word spread, other people also began hanging up stockings in hopes that they would receive gifts.

When drawing Grandfather Frost, one should not forget about the young and charming Snow Maiden - a laughing girl who accompanies Frost on all holidays. In the fantasy of each of us, the Snow Maiden stands in a long blue fur coat, a matching hat with a waist-length braid.

Draw the Snow Maiden and you have a traditional holiday couple. Having made a sketch, you can entrust coloring to the children - they will be captivated by this activity for a while, and you will do all the necessary preparations for the New Year.

Christmas tree

What would New Year be without a brightly decorated Christmas tree? Even if you already have a forest beauty at home that sparkles with colorful balls, garlands and tinsel, you can still capture its image on paper to show it to all your friends after the New Year holidays.

You don't have to be an artist at all - drawing a Christmas tree is very easy. In addition, you yourself can decide what decorations to “hang” on it, how long the branches will be and how green the tree will be.

If you doubt your own abilities, step-by-step drawings can come to the rescue. They clearly show the algorithm of actions, following which you will draw on paper a charming winter tree with all kinds of decorations on the branches.

Step 1. To begin, take a blank sheet of paper on which you will draw a Christmas tree. At the place where it will directly “grow”, draw a triangle.

Step 2. Divide the rectangle into two parts and draw a vertical line in the middle, as shown in the example. From the top of this line, draw two lines (outline of a Christmas tree). The example clearly shows how this can be done.

Step 3. Divide the triangle into several tiers with semicircular horizontal lines.

Step 4. Each tier should be “attached” with triangles with rounded corners.

Step 5. Gently erase the outline of the triangle with an eraser and you should have a nice Christmas tree.

Step 6.“Hang” garlands on each tier.

Step 7 Decorate the top with a star. It is not necessary to place a star on the top of the tree; you can choose a cone or any shape that you like.

Step 8“Hang” various toys (cones, balls, icicles) on the remaining branches of the tree. Our Christmas tree is ready! Now you have a beautiful one that will undoubtedly delight the children.

Rooster

You all have known for a long time that 2017 will be the year of the Fire Rooster. We must not lose sight of this fact and, when drawing holiday pictures, we must depict a cockerel on paper. He can either alone or in the company of his faithful family - hens and chicks.

Below we have shown the main stages of drawing this beautiful bird, so if you decide to test your powers as an artist before the New Year, you are welcome to our master class.

Step 1. First, draw a simple circle - the head of the future bird. Then you need to draw eyes, a small beak and draw smooth lines from the head - this will be the neck.

Step 2. Using light intermittent movements, draw two lines, which will later become the body of the rooster.

Step 3. Draw the wing of the bird and round the body. If you have extra lines, remove them with a grater.

Step 4. Make the cockerel a comb and earrings under the beak, as shown in the sample.

Step 5. Draw the wings, feathers and sketch out the legs.

Step 6. In the next picture you can see that the rooster has already “appeared” a bushy tail, so try to make it look the same on your paper.

Step 7 Each feather on the bird's body should be drawn in more detail so that they look like real ones.

Step 8 That's all! New Year's drawing of a rooster is ready. Color it as you wish.

Are you expecting a raise or starting your own business? Do you crave career advancement or, on the contrary, do you need some rest? While the chimes are striking, mentally turn to the head of the Chinese calendar in 2017 - the Rooster and ask him for your cherished wish.
