Let's learn to draw the Snow Maiden beautifully. Little Snow Maiden in red mittens

The fairy-tale girl who constantly accompanies Father Frost and helps him is the Snow Maiden. Her feminine image brings its own zest to the New Year holidays. The Snow Maiden can be found in fairy tales and at children's matinees. Although she is considered the granddaughter of Santa Claus, this heroine appears before us both in the form of a little girl and sometimes as an adult girl. The story goes that she was born from snow, because her original name was “Snowflake”. There is a kokoshnik on her head, and she is dressed in long skirt, a short fur coat and high-heeled boots. IN this lesson we will find out how to draw Snow Maiden in the form of an adult girl.

Tools and materials:

  1. A graphics tablet and pen (I used Wacom Intos Draw, but any will do) connected to a computer or laptop.
  2. Program Adobe Photoshop.

You can also use a simple pencil, an eraser and a piece of paper.

Stages of work:

Step 1. In graphic Adobe program Photoshop create a new document (File – New): width – 850 px. and height - 595 px. The main diameter for the brush is 5-3, color – black:

Step 2. We create the “skeleton” of the character. From above we outline the oval of the girl’s face, and from there we draw down center line through the girl's entire body. Let's draw on top horizontal line shoulders, then the waist and hips. We fix the lines at the ends with serifs:

Step 3. Let's draw the chest part of the body, and also draw the line of the skirt from the waist down. It will expand towards the bottom. The width of the bottom of the skirt is equal to double the width of the waist:

Step 4. Let's finish the sleeves. Left hand lowered down, and the right one raised, bent at the elbow. We will make wide cuffs at the bottom of the sleeves. The Snow Maiden's short fur coat will cover her hips, but widen slightly towards the bottom:

Step 5. Let's outline the location of the hands and feet. Let's draw them with general lines, without detail:

Step 6. Now we do the following: select the black outline using the magic wand tool and change the black color to gray. Thus common lines become paler. Using the created template (above), we draw a thinner outline of the entire body. Attention, the brush color should be black so that the lines do not merge:


Step 7 You can use an eraser to remove gray lines. We won't need them anymore. Let's draw facial features: eyes, nose and mouth:

Step 8 Apply shadow over the clothing near the folds. The main diameter of the brush should be no more than 3, you can make it even smaller:

Step 9 Now let's draw the kokoshnik on the head. Decorate it around the edge with beads:

Step 10 We continue to draw the surface of the Snow Maiden’s clothing, making the shadow even smoother:

Step 11 The white inserts on the suit, which are located along the edge of the skirt and fur coat, also need to be lightly covered with strokes. Thus, the shadow appears on this part of the clothing:

Only our Father Frost has a granddaughter, Snegurochka, and she was born in Russia. Snow Maiden is literary character. Soon after the hero Father Frost appeared in the lives of Russians, in 1873 he got a young assistant, at first positioned as a daughter - Snegurochka. This happened thanks to the play “The Snow Maiden” by Alexander Ostrovsky, which he created based on folk tale about a girl sculpted from snow and melted by warm sun rays. Later writers and the poets turned her into a granddaughter. Lyrical, beautiful story Many people liked about the Snow Maiden. Famous philanthropist Savva Ivanovich Mamontov wanted to stage it on the home stage of the Abramtsevo circle in Moscow. The premiere took place on January 6, 1882. Costume sketches for her were made by V. M. Vasnetsov (in a light sundress with a hoop or headband), and three years later famous artist makes new sketches for production opera of the same name N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov.
Two more were related to the creation of the appearance of the Snow Maiden: famous artist. M. A. Vrubel in 1898 created the image of the Snow Maiden for decorative panel in the house of A.V. Morozov (in white clothes woven from snow and down, lined with ermine fur). Later, in 1912, N.K. Roerich (in a fur coat), who participated in the work on the production, presented his vision of the Snow Maiden dramatic performance about the Snow Maiden in St. Petersburg.
The story of the snow girl who came to people became increasingly popular and fit very well into the city's Christmas tree programs. Gradually, the Snow Maiden becomes a permanent character during the holidays as an assistant to Father Frost. This is how the special Russian custom of celebrating Christmas with the participation of Father Frost and his beautiful and intelligent granddaughter is born.
After the repressions of 1927 - 1935, the Snow Maiden disappeared for a long time and as a constant companion of Grandfather, she was revived only in the early 1950s thanks to the efforts of children's classics Lev Kassil and Sergei Mikhalkov, who wrote scripts for the Kremlin Christmas trees. Father Frost and Snow Maiden entered social life countries as obligatory attributes of the coming New Year. Her birthplace is now disputed by two settlements Russia: Kostroma region, where on the Shchelykovo estate Ostrovsky wrote his famous fairy tale, and St. Petersburg, where he created his immortal opera by Rimsky-Korsakov.
What is she like, our Snow Maiden?!
The young girl is the child of Frost and Spring. She's as pure as White snow, but her cold soul did not know love. The heart of a beautiful girl strives upward to discover this feeling. But at the very moment when love opens to her heart, she must perish. The purest creation, which combines both the earthly and the unearthly, so captivates the artist’s soul that it becomes real, embodied on the master’s canvas.
As a rule, artists paint the image of the Snow Maiden in cold tones of paint. The purest untouched snow that accompanies the girl seems to reflect the purity of the girl’s soul and the coldness of her heart. Her wonderful face radiates purity and tenderness. This beautiful image painting masters complement a young girl with wonderful traditional Russian folk costume(sundress, shirt or fur coat). And the headdress, kokoshnik, gives the Snow Maiden’s image femininity and tenderness.
She is charming, even nature itself admires the beauty of her creation.
Let's try to create the image of a girl from a fairy tale. Let's do a full-length portrait. The portrait depicts the external appearance (and through it inner world) person, in our case – a literary hero.
So, we make a sketch with a pencil.
The human head has an oval shape, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. It is correct, the same on the left and right sides, i.e. symmetrical.
Swipe vertical line in the middle of the sheet, this will help draw the correct oval.


The face is divided into three parts:
1- forehead, 2- eyes. nose, 3- lips, chin.
Let's draw horizontal lines.


Riddles will help us in further work.
My brother lives behind the mountain,
May he not meet me.

On the top line we draw eyebrows, below – eyes.
The shape of the eyes consists of arched lines (upper and lower eyelids). We outline the eyelashes and pupil.



Who am i?
Always with you,
At least stand, at least sit -
Always ahead.

The nose is located in the middle of the leaf. The bridge of the nose comes from the eyebrows (draw with a smooth arched line). The crown of the nose is rounded, we draw the wings of the nose on the side, marking the nostrils.


Two brothers are standing
Velvet caftans,
Red outfits,
They live nearby
They'll come together
They'll separate
They will hug hotly -
They'll fight hard.

Below the nose we draw a mouth.


On the sides at the level of the nose we draw ears.


They don’t sow, they don’t plant,
And they themselves grow.

We draw a “cap” of hair and outline a braid.
By the way, in Rus', unmarried girls wore one braid. Good ones, Thick hair were highly valued because they spoke of strength and health. We can say that the expression “a braid is a girl’s beauty” had a completely literal meaning - the one whose braid was the longest was considered the best bride. And so the girls tried their best to make their braids grow thick.


We outline the line of the shoulders, the collar of the shirt, designate the shape of the kokoshnik and decorations.
Usually the kokoshnik was worn on holidays. Unlike kichka and magpie, which were worn only married women, the kokoshnik could also be worn unmarried girls. It was made to order by professional craftswomen - “kokoshnitsy”, who had the skills of sewing with pearls, beads, gold thread and the ability to handle factory fabrics. Kokoshniks were carefully kept in the family and passed on by inheritance.
On the shirt, embroidery went along the bottom of the hem, the bottom of the sleeves, on the chest and collar, i.e. physical body and internal energies completely protected by the symbols of the Family - all grandfathers, grandmothers, great-grandfathers, the entire Family to the beginning, all the power goes to the Amulet. The collar of a woman's shirt is fastened with a button or buckle, and the girl's is tied inside with a braided rope.


Speaking about the choice of color, we remind you that we create the image of a girl using delicate, cool shades.
This material is very interesting, they work with it professional artists, and amateurs. We consider it appropriate to use wax crayons V children's creativity. The works turn out bright and juicy.
Tell us how they should work. You can draw with crayons in different ways. The sharp edge leaves clear, bright lines. When you draw with one end for quite a long time, edges are formed on it and the lines they leave are softer.
There is another very interesting technique work: to do this, you need to take the chalk with three fingers parallel to the sheet of paper and leave a wide colored spot with its edge. Large areas of color can be covered in this way.


We place a color accent on the eyes, create a portrait of the Snow Maiden, and outline an ornament on the clothes and kokoshnik.


Covering the background watercolor paints, choose colors to taste, before the paints dry, sprinkle our picture with rock salt. Salt creates incredible effect, absorbing pigment from the paint as it dries.


After the paint layer has dried, carefully shake off the salt. We frame the drawing.


We bring to your attention the works of students of the Municipal Educational Institution “Gymnasium No. 19” in Saransk.






On a winter night, fabulous,
I'll go out onto the street.
From a mysterious country
I'll call the Snow Maiden.
It will swirl, it will swirl
There is a snowstorm above me.
Maybe the fairy tale will come true
Believe it or not.

The story of distant childhood -
Snow beauty
Hurt my heart,
I can't handle him.
The thin frame of a reed,
Like fingers of ice,
The girls remember you
Boys love you.

You are white in winter
Born on the sidelines
Where are the brave ones on the roller coaster?
The Christmas trees have become friends.
Among all the outskirts
Mother villages
There is no better assistant
At my beloved grandmother's.

But in the thawed spring
You trust fate
And a small snowflake
You'll melt again in the evening.
When he meets a dream in the grass -
Winter dream oak tree,
They will be waiting for you to come to them
Grandfather and grandmother.

The windows are painted
Silvery frost.
- Don’t ask anything
The blue sky will say.
Wait until autumn
Moons are colorful
The world will be decorated with gray hair
The pearls are countless.

On a winter night, fabulous,
I'll go out onto the street
From a mysterious country
I'll call the Snow Maiden.
It will swirl, it will swirl
There's a snowstorm above me,
Maybe the fairy tale will come true
I will hope.
