Drawings on a military theme with a pencil are easy. Learning to draw the most interesting
Hello! In today's lesson we will tell you about how to draw a Soviet soldier.
The fact is that this topic concerns each of us - after all, "there is no such family in Russia where its hero is not remembered." Taking this opportunity, I would like to ask every reader whose heroes are alive and well to express their attention, recognition and care to them.
This article is being written on the eve of the great holiday - Victory Day, but we would very much like our Heroes to receive congratulations and respect not only on this important day, but on all the other 364 days of the year. Call yours and your grandmothers, provide all possible assistance in everyday matters, ask about their health, give them a cool complex pattern, which you personally created in their honor. Here, the team of our site can help you with the last point - let's start drawing a real Hero - a Soviet Soldier!
Step 1
This lesson is quite complicated, but we will start drawing it with a very simple stickman - a man made of sticks and circles. However, do not be deceived by its simplicity - the fact is that this stage is the most important of the entire lesson, because the mistakes made here will be very difficult to correct in the future. Before starting to draw a stickman, let's remember the basic rules of body proportions: a person's height is equal to the sum of the lengths of about 7 heads, with 3 of them falling on the body (from the neck to the waist), and 4 on the legs. The arms extended at the seams reach the middle of the distance from the waist to the knee joint, and the torso is as wide as the sum of two heads (also wide).
However, be extremely careful at this stage, because the soldier is not standing in full height(as, for example, in one of our lessons), but takes a position immediately before the shot - leans on his knee and aims.
Pay attention to the features - the arms seem too short, but this is an illusion due to their folded position and the lack of volume at this stage against the background of the head. By the way, the head should be drawn into the shoulders, that is, the neck will not be visible here - again, such a visual effect occurs due to the non-standard "aiming" position of the soldier.
Step 2
Now let's work a little on the upper part of our drawing. Let's draw a helmet line in the upper part of the head, mark the remaining lower part with two lines - vertical, which will indicate facial symmetry (note that it is slightly beveled to convey the tilt of the head) and the eye line perpendicular to it.
Let's also draw a part of the silhouette of the helmet and outline the weapon in the soldier's hands (the butt should cover the lower part of the face). Let's finish the stage by drawing rectangular fists.
Step 3
Let's add volume to the arms and upper body. In fact, in this stage we will only circle the lines outlined earlier. We will not draw muscles here, since the soldier's attire is not tight-fitting.
Step 4
Now we will do the same operation with the lower part of the torso. This will be much easier to do if you imagine the parts of the body in the form of figures - the belt and groin in the form of a triangle, the legs in the form of cylinders, the knee joints in the form of a circle and a flattened oval. Again, nothing complicated, since we do not need anatomical drawing of muscles and tendons.
Step 5
"Volumetric stickman", that is, the silhouette of a soldier is ready, you can start drawing it. If you doubt the accuracy of the position of the soldier or the proportions of his body, bring the sketch of this stage to the mirror and look at the reflection - in it all the errors will be very throwy and noticeable.
And now, in fact, we continue: erase the extra guide lines from the helmet and outline its outline, also draw a strap on the soldier's cheekbone. Then draw the eyes - one of them should be squinted.
Overall plan will be something like this:
Step 6
Usually we draw and detail the drawings always from top to bottom, that is, in the direction from the head to the feet. And this lesson will not be an exception, therefore, we continue to detail our soldier.
Let's work on the tunic. Let's draw the sleeves, outline the folds of the fabric and cuffs. Then we will designate a belt that goes through the entire body diagonally, a collar and strokes, which will later become large pockets located on the chest.
The palms are the most mobile part of the body, so it is their drawing that causes the most difficulties. To do this, we decided to make a couple of big plans:
Actually drawing the palms here is not particularly difficult, you just need to correctly convey their position and how they hold the weapon.
By the way, do not forget to draw the weapon itself, namely the legendary Mosin rifle. The general plan is:
Step 7
Let's go down and draw the lower part of the torso and legs of the soldier. First, let's draw a belt and side pockets, and then a bag and a loose lower part of the tunic (pay attention to the smooth bend of the tunic line in the area of the leg closest to us, it must be marked, it emphasizes the pose).
Next is the legs. Let's erase the extra guide lines, wrap around the contours, giving the trousers a "baggy" appearance - that is, we make the contour itself slightly wavy and apply folds to the fabric. Yes, such a moment - the legs should turn out to be very voluminous, again in order to emphasize the loose fit of the pants.
Step 8
Great, already very close to what we need. Now we will carry out the final drawing of the torso and legs of our soldier. At this stage, we outline and detail in detail the warrior’s left hand and the edge of the rifle butt.
Carefully consider our sample and try to repeat all our actions in your drawing - be sure to draw such, at first glance, inconspicuous details as a patch on the elbow, cuff edging, buttons and folds. Draw knuckles on the outside of the hand.
Step 9
Now let's repeat the same operation, but on the other, right hand from us. Here only, unlike the previous stage, the nails on the fingers are visible and we will need to mark them. Also outline the strokes of the phalanges of the fingers, but otherwise everything is the same - cuffs with a border, buttons, a patch in the elbow area and folds.
Step 10
Let's draw a Mosin rifle. Keep in mind that most parts of the barrel of this weapon were made of wood, to visually convey this material, draw a few lines along the barrel in front of it. Also mark short horizontal lines running across the trunk - the first of them is located next to the front sight, and the last one is in the area of \u200b\u200bthe brush on our right hand. Draw the scope, trigger, and belt (note the belt buckles and the upside down position).
Step 11
We detail the body. Draw stripes on the collar horizontal line zippers and pockets. Pay attention to the border, which is located along the edges of the pockets and the folds coming from the belt. Don't forget to also trim the strap of the bag and draw the buckle.
Step 12
Let's draw the legs, start from the left of us. Turn it around, keeping the previously outlined wavy contour, mark the line of the fly on the pants, mark a rectangle in the knee area and draw a boot on a thick, rough sole. Apply a few short folds to the boot material.
Step 13
Now we detail the other leg. Fringe it, mark the folds, draw stripes of fabric in the lower leg area. Draw a thick sole of the boot, designate the lacing and a couple of strokes on the material of the shoe, which will indicate the folds.
Step 14
Looks good, doesn't it? Let's work on the shadows now. First, let's put a shadow on the helmet of our soldier. Before starting work, do not forget to watch the 6th stage of the lesson dedicated to it - firstly, it describes the structure of a realistic shadow, and secondly, the shadow on the grape brush in terms of distraction is very similar to the shadow that lies on the soldier's helmet from this lesson.
Before applying shadows, determine the location of the light source - we have light falling on the soldier in front, the source is approximately at the height of his growth, and since the soldier is slightly turned to the right of us, we will shade the side to our left.
We will impose a shadow on the helmet with a light but frequent cross-hatching, achieving the density we need by adjusting the pressure on the pencil and choosing the optimal number of layers of cross-hatching. Don't forget to mark the strip of reflective light that is located along the edges of the helmet.
Step 15
Let's put a shadow on our left hand. Note that almost every crease casts a slight shadow, and in the region of the trapezius and deltoid muscles, the shadow is especially thick.
Step 16
With a light cross hatching, we denote the shadows on the body, increasing the number of layers in the most densely shaded places.
Step 17
In conclusion, I would like to show you one video, a quote from which we used at the beginning of our lesson. This impressive video sequence was created from the frames of the cult Soviet film "Officers", and the music was written by the talented composer Evgeny Agranovich.
Actually, it remains to apply a very light shadow on the soldier's legs and our drawing is ready.
It was a lesson about that from the site Drawingforall, all the best to you, do not forget your grandparents - your attention is incredibly important to them. Come to us for new lessons and write in the comments your wishes regarding their topics. Happy Holidays everyone!
The Great Patriotic War is that page of our history that cannot be ignored. For a peaceful sky, for bread on the table, we owe it to our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who, not sparing their lives, fought against a fierce enemy for the sake of a happy future for their children.
As a sign of eternal memory and respect, it is customary in our country to give veterans flowers and themed postcards made by small children's hands. Such masterpieces are more precious than any awards, because they testify that even kids know and are proud of the exploits of their ancestors. Today we will tell you how and what drawings for children about the war can be drawn on the eve of a great holiday or simply to consolidate the knowledge gained from a history lesson.
So, we bring to your attention a master class on how to draw step by step Patriotic War for children with a pencil.
Example 1
For boys, war is certainly associated with military equipment and aviation. Tanks, helicopters, planes, various weapons - these are all those achievements scientific progress, without which the victory would have come to us at an even greater cost. So let's start our first lesson, dedicated to drawings about the war (1941-1945) for children, namely from detailed description how to draw a tank step by step.
First of all, let's prepare everything you need: simple and colored pencils, an eraser and Blank sheet paper.
Continuing to improve our skills, let's draw a military aircraft:
Example 2
Of course, little princesses may not like drawing military equipment. Therefore, for them, we have prepared separate drawings that can be used as a greeting card:
As you can see, draw such simple pictures about the war is not difficult for a child, the main thing is to show a little imagination and patience.
To the question "How to draw a soldier with a pencil in stages?" help answer the basic principles that are used in the image of not only soldiers, but also other people, animals, fairy tale characters. These rules apply to amateur art.
- We stock up with a pencil and an eraser.
- We start drawing the head with a circle divided into four parts.
- Next, we attach the body to the head in the form of an oval, circle or rectangle.
- Draw the legs and arms to the body. Most often they are depicted using ovals.
- We give a sketch of the outline of the body.
- We finish the hands, legs and other details.
- Add the missing small elements on clothes, shoes.
- We outline the drawing, erase unnecessary contours and decorate.
What to use for drawing
For a high-quality image of a soldier, you must use a simple pencil. The drawing techniques presented below assume exactly the presence of this object at hand. When using paints or felt-tip pens, the drawing will turn out to be inaccurate, without small parts possibly with divorce. The methods below will describe how to draw a soldier in stages.
How to draw a soldier with a pencil
There are many ways to add pencil. One of the most simple options, which demonstrates fairly simple schemes. Therefore, each person can cope with this task. Drawing is the best with a simple pencil without pressing hard on it. Do this so that after finishing work on the picture, all unnecessary can be easily erased without leaving traces. It is necessary to start drawing any picture with markup and outline outlines. We start depicting a soldier from the head. We draw an oval and from it two lines down so that it looks a bit like a triangle. Further, a little lower than the oval, draw a rectangle, which will later serve as the body of a soldier. In the upper part of the body we depict two ovals, which will be the contours for the human hands. We depict the legs in the form of two rectangles emanating from the main figure - the body.
For the greatest persuasiveness, add another oval to the left oval (hand) so that it is tilted to the right. We also add one more to the right oval (hand). We also draw two ovals to the feet of the soldier.
How to draw a soldier with a gun? This is easy to do. We need to add some more elements. We give the facial features to the soldier, add various details on his uniform. We check the sketch of the work, if everything is in order, then we circle the drawing with a felt-tip pen, and erase the pencil and unnecessary lines. Finishing work on the picture color design.
soldier at war
The plot of our picture may involve working on a whole action. For example, there is a fight. How to draw a military man? We draw the soldier in stages, as described above. It is especially necessary to carefully consider the image of various details, those heroes of the picture who are in the foreground. First you need to make a sketch of the picture. Next, draw the rest of the elements. Then we add lines in the form of a wire and draw belts on the body of the soldiers. At the end of the drawing, we display the final touches and, if necessary, decorate the picture.
Draw a soldier under the ruler
The next way is described below, how to draw a soldier with a pencil in stages. For this method, you will need, in addition to the pencil itself and the eraser, a ruler. We start the drawing with the head. Draw a circle and divide it into four parts. The circle will help us draw the features and the person correctly. Then we finish drawing the headdress. To simplify the display of the body and clothing, you can mark up using a ruler. This is how the first sketches of the soldier's body are made. At the end of the work on the picture, it is necessary to finish the small elements on the form. If desired, the heroes of the picture can be decorated with a pencil, felt-tip pens or paints
The most difficult scheme for drawing a soldier
Below is a way to draw a soldier with a pencil in stages at a more professional level. This requires a little more care, diligence and knowledge of theory. The first thing you need to start drawing a soldier is to determine his posture, facial expression, weapons. Perhaps military photographs and memories can help with this. This will give the drawing more reality and professionalism. After determining the content of the plot, we get to work. We can put a photo or a toy in front of us as a basis. We start drawing a soldier from the ground up. We draw the main structure - the human body. We begin to portray from the head. We give it an oval shape and draw the center lines in the form of a cross. We draw the outlines of the neck with vertical lines, and the shoulders with wide lines to give the soldier more manly appearance. The body is initially depicted in the form of two large parts. We make outlines for the arms and legs. Next, draw the chin. In the picture, it may be rectangular. We give the body a human shape, draw the superciliary part and ears. Then we display the eyes and mouth along the dividing line of the face. We supplement the drawing with a hat, shoulder straps, stars, a collar and other elements. We draw the line of the hand and add other elements, for example, a machine gun. We finish the hand. We decorate the jacket, pockets and buttons on the uniform. We draw the details of the machine gun or pistol necessary for the soldier. Depicting army boots. Carefully erase the center lines. We finish the face, if necessary.
So today, continuing the military theme and ignoring all kinds of fantasy, and the like, we will draw a really cool dude with sniper rifle. In anticipation, I'll tell you a little about snipers: So, a sniper is a specially trained dude who will give odds to any eagle eye, because, aiming at a small eye, he manages to hit the target exactly and hit this very target. But what are snipers:
- Sniper saboteur. This is the one found in many computer games. Works alone or with a partner. In every possible way he tries not to give himself away: quieter than water, lower than grass, that is. It can also kill at a distance of 1.5 - 2 kilometers. The weapon is a first-class, accurate rifle with a silencer.
- Infantry sniper. Works with infantry. He shoots at important targets under the general broads, because he doesn’t need a silencer. The distance is usually up to 400 meters, there is no time to aim especially.
- Police sniper. Well, this one is generally a loser compared to the previous two: it shoots at a distance of no more than two hundred meters. But not everything is so simple, it turns out. Usually the perpetrator is armed and has already pointed his cannon at the helpless victim. So you need to shoot in such a way as to hit the finger and prevent this bastard from shooting.
So let's get creative.
How to draw military equipment with a pencil step by step
Step one At the top of the sheet, draw an oval-head. From her down - a large torso. With large oval figures we outline other parts of the body. In the hands of a man military equipment, but so far it is only an elongated figure. 
Step Two Gradually turn all the defining details into the human body. Some of the clothing details are already visible. Let's give desired shape rifle. 
Step Three We draw clothes: a T-shirt, a cap, tucked up pants, as well as shoes. Let's pay more attention to weapons. It is gripped by strong gloved fingers. By the way, there are folds on the trousers and gloves. Now let's move on to the face. eyes close sunglasses, a small ear is clearly drawn. On the face is a thick beard. 
Step Four Everything that we have drawn needs to be strengthened: outline, add lines, and then add the missing details. This is how we got a strong man, holding a serious barrel in his hands and carefully following the target. 
I also advise you to look at the drawing lessons of other types of weapons, for example.
How to draw a Cheburashka with a pencil step by step
Well, now let's get down to drawing ... Only five steps.
Step one
Let's start with the head. At the top of the sheet, in its center, draw a large circle. On the left and on the right side of it are the ears. They are also rounded and quite large, but smaller than the head. Let's draw the body - this is a large oval. All that's left is arms and legs.
step two
We turn the outlined figures into body parts. Let's circle the head then the ears. One leg of the Cheburashka is hidden behind the back. Let's draw a T-shirt and legs.
Step Three
Outline the outline of the head to get the face. Show two big eyes. High above them are small rounded eyebrows. It remains to outline a triangular nose and a small mouth. A finger reaches to the mouth.
Now let's look at the ears.
Step Four
Let's draw the eyes, or rather the pupils. And now we will dress our Cheburashka in a fur coat. In this case, pay attention to the bangs and ears.
Step five
On the T-shirt of our hero we will draw a small ornate pattern. Well, almost done. It remains to color.
How to draw a squirrel with a pencil
Step one. We start as usual by drawing the position. We make a sketch of the position of the squirrel's body. We draw a circle that will indicate the stomach, after that we add two oval shapes from below to it and one large one from above, these are the legs and chest. And at the very top we draw another circle, but already smaller, this is naturally the head.
We step further. Draw raised paws up and add a ponytail. It must be fluffy. In shape, it resembles the tail of a mermaid, which we drew in the previous lesson. After that, draw the legs of the squirrel.
Step three. Let's make an elongated shape for the squirrel's muzzle. It is as easy to draw as the face of a tiger. On it draw the front sharp teeth. Add ears on the head.
Step four. Moving on from sketching to drawing real shapes. We circle the kennels of wool around the tail and legs. On the muzzle we draw eyes, ears and nose like a smurf. 
Step five. We continue in the same spirit with the rest of the body. Let's draw paws and fingers on them. The eyes of the squirrel are round, add black pupils. And draw the exposed tongue. Make some more teeth on the upper jaw.
Step six. Now we erase the auxiliary lines with an eraser and outline the outlines of the picture.
It remains to add a few details of the background. Let's draw a palm tree and a nut (or is it a coconut?) Which the squirrel holds in his hands. (How does he only hold it, is it obviously bigger and heavier than him?)
And finally, I also colored the drawing with colored pencils to make it more fun. Here's how it turned out:
How to draw the Barboskins with a pencil step by step
How to draw cartoons with a pencil
Step one. Determine the position of the head. It is quite big and wide. Moreover, you can draw a not very even oval. On the face, not in the center, but closer to the cheek, we draw an axial vertical line. With a short line we outline the level of the nose. And now you need to carefully, starting from the vertical auxiliary line, draw a mouth: first to the right, then to the left. The cat is half turned in our direction, so the mouth does not seem to be symmetrical. Now let's draw the body. We try to make it look like the picture. Draw two straight lines from the torso down - the legs. With an uneven line, we outline the bend of the tail. Let's draw two large shapeless oblong feet.
Step two. First draw large oval eyes, and above them small rounded ears. Now let's round the cat's smile around the edges. At the already planned level, we will place a round spout. Hands folded on the chest: they are not easy to show. Let's draw three thumbs, and from under them we lead the second hand. We draw two lines along one axis of the leg, we get the leg. There are two curved stripes on the feet - toes.
Step three. Inside the ears, draw a line along the edge, so we get the auricle. Under the already drawn hand, we will show the second peeking out hand: almost rounded, but uneven at the same time. Draw two lines along the second axis of the leg to represent the leg. Let's draw the feet. Let's draw a fluffy tail. Inside the large eye sockets, draw a horizontal line in the lower part, and under it a small pupil filled with a pencil.
Step four. Draw the tail: draw the top line along the axis. Garfield is striped: draw parallel stripes, make the tip of the tail darker.
Step five. Remove all auxiliary and center lines with the help of an eraser. The main outline of the cat can be circled and made brighter. 
How to draw a motorcycle step by step
Step one
The first thing to do is to draw an axial horizontal line for the wheels. So we will immediately set the directions for our drawing. Now the wheels themselves. Let's outline the horizontal axes. The visual effect is such that we see them not quite round, but slightly elongated vertically. Moreover, the wheel closest to us is larger.
Above - the angular contour of the motorcycle.
Connect the visual of the ear with a horizontal line.
step two
Let's make the wheel closest to us voluminous. Show tire width rear wheel and his wide fork. On the motorcycle body itself, we will need to make a lot of straight reference lines, which we will need next. Look carefully at the picture and try to do the same.
Step Three
We continue to draw wide wheels. Above them are wide wings. Let's show the seat and front plumage.
Step Four
All the details of a two-wheeled friend need to be turned from angular into smooth and elegant. We carefully draw the details.
Step five
Outline the outline of the base, make it brighter. Here, our brainchild is already visible.
Step Six
There are a couple of barely noticeable inscriptions on the body. But we noticed them and draw them. Now you need to give a shadow to some details that are in depth, darkened. Well, it's done!
How to draw war with a pencil step by step

Now let's think about what will be around our soldiers: this is a fence, stones, logs. Let's show their contours.
Step Three
We will dress our belligerents: helmets, pants, boots. Let's supply one of them with a bag. Draw the profile of the face closest to us. We wrap the fence with barbed wire.
Step Four
Let's add details: thorns on the wire, belts on people's clothes, a shoulder blade, etc.
Step five
Let's do the shading. There are darker areas on the clothes at the folds. Darken the areas on the pillars. Well, here are the soldiers against the backdrop of a military and completely non-picturesque landscape.
let's try draw Harley Quinn.
Step one.
Draw a circle in the center of the sheet. This will be the Harley head. On both sides of it we will draw a sketch of the harlequin's clothes.
Step two.
We draw eyes and folds on clothes.
Step three.
Then we draw a small neck, from it there are 3 lines, and on them a shoulder can be seen in a circle behind them, and under them the girl’s chest. center line in place of the hand. Next, draw a graceful posture.
Step four.
