Blue snake drawing in pencil. How to draw animals: snakes and their patterns
From today's drawing lessons you will learn how to draw a snake. If you are afraid of reptiles to such an extent that you are afraid to draw them, it does not matter. Our snakes are very cute, I think everyone will like them.
We bring to your attention several snake drawing tutorial. After all, the symbol of the upcoming 2013 will be the Snake!
Lesson #1 "How to draw a snake"
Learning to draw a snake is very easy. Snakes have a thin elongated body, which is drawn with wavy lines. The head of the snake is very interesting: it is small and tapering, like a small triangle.
Lesson number 2. "How to Draw a Cartoon Snake"
This is the most easy lesson of all previously written: if you can draw a circle and a line, then you can draw a snake! Of course, the base will need to be supplemented with various details, but you will surely cope with this.
You don't have to draw the snake exactly like you did here. For example, you can change its position by wrapping a snake in a ring.
Because we have a 3/4 view, we start drawing from the left eye. We draw all other details, starting from this. The lesson will help you understand general principles so you can create your own characters.
You need to color the drawing so that it immediately becomes clear what kind of snake it is. In our case - fictional :)
Using such a snake as a base, you can very easily turn it into a cobra - just finish the hood.
Lesson number 3. "How to draw a realistic snake."
It's good to start sketching out the shape "in sections" with overlapping ovals. It should look almost like an egg chain.
Using the "chain" shape as a guide, outline the kite. Remember to use smooth curves, no straight lines!
Slightly separate the body into segments. Please note that the lines should be twisted into the curve of the snake's body.
Using the guidelines in the previous step, add patterns in place. You only need the basic outlines for now.
Fill in the spots with charcoal, or if you don't have charcoal fill them in with a pencil. Don't be too concerned about filling them out to perfection.
Lesson number 4. "How to draw a snake with a pencil"
We have already drawn various animals, for example, a horse and a lot. Now let's deal with slippery and extremely dangerous snakes. I confess that I am very afraid of them. But next year this year snakes and we simply have to draw them in our lessons. To begin with, let's take a closer look at the main part of the snakes - the head and fanged mouth. And although the drawing is color-coded at the end, it seems to me that the step-by-step sketches turned out better than the final one. Here we will consider the details in drawing dangerous snakes and maybe my advice will be useful to you in the future when drawing. It's funny, but the length of snakes can vary from 10 cm to 12 meters! They have an internal skeleton, this can be a real discovery for someone.
Step 1.
Here I will give you examples of how snake heads can differ. Upper snake usually big size, and the second - small, but also dangerous reptiles.
Step 2
If we look at the structural features of the head, we can see a short nose and large and close-set eyes.
Step 3
I will add a few more options for the shapes of the snake head. As you can see, they can have several options for expressions and you can choose what you like best.
Step 4
Now I will try to simplify drawing for you and show you how to draw a snake's head in parts in simple three steps. You can easily draw all the options and then choose the one you like for the main drawing. Poisonous snakes have large and sharp, backward-curved poisonous fangs on the upper jaw. There lies the main danger!
Step 5
Let's start our drawing. Draw the shape of the snake's head and then add a midline for the level of the eyes and the proportions of the drawing of the head.
Step 6
Let's start drawing the main lines. First, the top of the head and the top of the mouth. Note the groove at the top of the head.
Step 7
Now draw the back of the head and the lower part of the jaw. The lower jaw is long and looks extremely dangerous.
Step 8
Draw the expressive eyes, then add the openings of the nostrils. After you get it, draw the detailing for the shapes and bulges on the head.
Step 9
Draw an outline around the snake's mouth, as in our drawing, and then add the eyeballs and pupil slits. Add arched lines at the back of the mouth for the tongue.
Few representatives of the animal world have as many conflicting reviews and opinions as a snake. She is feared, respected, shunned and loved. Rumor has it that the look of a snake can hypnotize a person, and an antidote has not yet been invented for the bites of the most dangerous snake representatives. In many religions of the world, snakes were considered both a symbol of Evil and the personification of wisdom. Snakes are dangerous, but at the same time their venom is successfully used as a medicine and how many people are grateful to her for their recovery! This year's eastern horoscope is the year of the black water snake. It sounds scary, but astrologers convince that the year will be successful for those who are looking for their soul mate and are ready to start a family. Let's try to draw a snake with a pencil in stages.
- Take thick matte paper with a smooth surface, two simple pencils - hard and softest, an eraser. To draw a snake with a pencil, first we will make a simple sketch, then we will gradually add details. We draw the approximate location and movement of the snake, its oval head. Most often, snakes curl up or wriggle. We will draw a snake that crawls. To move, the snake has to fold its body in such an intricate way.
- Let's outline the outline and carefully remove the auxiliary line with an eraser. The structural feature of the snake is such that the girth of the neck and tail will be much smaller than in the middle. The tail will be the thinnest.
- We begin to "sculpt" our snake, giving it volume. To do this, we will show its abdomen, consisting of parallel plates. It is thanks to these horny shields that many snakes move not only on the surface of the earth, but along vertical walls and trees. These plates will not be visible everywhere, since the snake body is folded in large loops. They are visible only on the neck, a little on the abdomen and the tip of the tail. We draw snake eyes and a forked tongue.
- Now we draw a pattern on the skin. It will not be even, we make each separate section, a speck with jagged edges, shaped like an hourglass. On the head of the snake there will be stripes along the body, and starting from the neck - horizontal, wide stripes. In the middle they will be the largest, on the tail - small. Each type of snake has its own ornament and a bizarre pattern on the back. In this lesson, draw yourself major representative from the family of vipers - gyurzu. Its length can reach up to 2 meters in length. It is considered one of the most dangerous and unpredictable snakes, even experienced hunters prefer to bypass it on the tenth road.
- soft pencil paint over spots. Since the body of the snake is shiny, we paint it unevenly, but with a kind of gradient, as shown in the enlarged fragment. On both sides, the spot will be the darkest, and in the middle it will be almost white. Due to this, the effect of "shine" of the skin is created. On the head we draw dark stripes, not forgetting to leave an unshaded area of paper for the eye.
- We draw the scales of the snake with intersecting lines. Those who like to tinker with details can draw individual scales, but the effect will be almost the same. Be sure to draw the lines according to the volume of the snake's body, and not just with even strokes. It is very important. Thus, the snake will turn out to be convex and not flat. With a soft pencil, make shadows at the bends of the snake's body. The loops of the snake overlap each other, so the top areas will be lightest and the areas where the "loops" touch will be the darkest. So that the snake drawing does not hang in the air, we will finish the ground and with light strokes outline a bush or grass in the background. It is enough to show the plants with a contour, they are not the main ones and should not distract the attention of the viewer. Make the plates on the neck of the gyurza more contrasting.
This fragment shows very roughly and approximately how to draw shiny spots on the skin of a snake, and with what oblique grid lines to designate its scales. The gradient on spots with uneven borders and different hatching directions are clearly visible.
The topic of this lesson How to draw a snake", or rather a cobra, the largest and most dangerous snake. The snake inspires many panic fear because some of them are poisonous. But in fact, this is an ordinary animal from the reptile family, using poison only for self-defense and hunting. Some of them are not poisonous at all, for example. The snake has almost no skeleton and due to this it is very plastic, and this must be depicted in the drawing of the snake.
Drawing a snake is quite simple, because it has neither paws nor fur. The snake does not have complex details, but, nevertheless, it is necessary to accurately maintain the proportions of the thickness of the body, length, size of the head and tail. In order for the drawing of a snake, a cobra to attract the eye, you can give the snake a menacing look. Draw her with her head up and fangs in her open mouth.
1. Draw the outline of a snake ready to jump
For our drawing, we will choose the most famous and largest cobra snake. Cobra attacks the victim in a jump, raising the upper body. Therefore, doing snake drawing step by step, first draw the lower part of the snake with a pencil, and in the next steps draw the raised head of the cobra. At this stage, you need to draw a "rope" folded into a ring, it will serve as the main contour of the cobra's body.
2. Preliminary outline of the snake's head
First you need to draw the outline of the cobra's head. When she prepares to attack, her neck "swells" and this area expands and "flattens". This psychological reception adds another effect. WITH reverse side In this area, "evil" eyes appear, menacingly looking at the enemy. Therefore, they call the cobra a "spectacled" snake, but this will not be visible in our drawing. At this stage, you need to continue drawing the torso and completely draw the tail.
3. Draw the general outline of the head
Check the marking lines, whether the thickness of the torso is the same everywhere. If not, then correct, correct, so that the snake does not turn out too thick, like a python. In the next stages of the drawing, this will be difficult to do. Delete intersecting lines from the drawing and draw a very simple outline of the snake's head.
4. How to draw a snake head
At this stage, drawing will be much easier. You will only need to draw an eye and highlight the abdominal part of the snake with two lines. Select the right edge of the flattened part of the snake with an additional parallel line, a kind of bezel.
5. The snake drawing is almost finished
At this stage you need draw a snake in detail. Start drawing with what seems easier for you to draw. First draw a forked sting, with strokes of a simple pencil, apply a pattern of the abdominal part and the entire torso. Please note that an additional marking line is drawn on top of the torso. Draw in detail the head of the snake.
6. The final stage of the drawing
Add shadows in some places of the snake drawing. Shadows do not need to be done if you will color the snake drawing with colored pencils. Cobra or other snake, in nature, after all, they have a rather bright and unusual color, which can be conveyed in the drawing with a simple pencil impossible. As always, you can draw the landscape surrounding the snake, characteristic of the area where the cobra lives.
Drawing of a king cobra made on graphics tablet, can be a good picture for decorating your computer desktop.
Some snakes seem to be able to hypnotize frogs. Under the cold gaze of the snake, they cannot move. You can use this plot by drawing a large snake.
A spider is easy to draw, however, a snake is easier to draw. It has a round body and eight legs. True, some types of spiders have an elongated body, not the same as in my drawing and a brighter and more colorful color. We will choose a spider - a tarantula.
Few people like an insect so dangerous to humans as a scorpion and snakes. But, nevertheless, many people like to draw these dangerous animals. In the enlarged drawing, the scorpion looks like a cancer. Only you need to draw a tail of a completely different shape, at its end there is a poisonous sting, like a wasp.
Pictures of dragons are definitely difficult to draw. In fact, a dragon is a symbiosis of a lizard, a snake and a bird, and in the drawing of the dragon it is necessary to reflect the plasticity of these two creatures. The dragons in the pictures are fire-breathing, like the Serpent Gorynych, and this effect can be used later to enhance the impression of the picture.
Drawing the sea is not easy. Moreover, drawing the sea with a pencil requires even more effort. The most important thing in drawing the sea is to convey its waves. Snakes live not only on land, but also on the sea. There are even many "eyewitnesses" who saw huge snakes in the sea.
It is better for novice artists to draw a tree in stages and at first with a simple pencil. And only by correctly completing the drawing with a pencil, you can paint it with paints. Some snakes are able to climb trees and destroy bird nests.
Snakes are widespread creatures that carry a considerable danger, both for humans and for other inhabitants of our planet. Even small snakes, completely harmless at first glance, can be poisonous. And some representatives of this genus can strangle their prey, thanks to their powerful body and impressive size. Professional animal artists know everything about how to draw a snake. But you don't have to finish art school to depict a snake, because it has a much simpler structure than, for example, a horse or a cat.
Before drawing a snake with a pencil, and then coloring it, it is worth preparing all the items that will inevitably be required in the process of work:
1). paper;
2). Pencil;
3). multi-colored pencils;
4). Eraser;
5). Black gel ink pen.
Then you can draw a snake with a pencil:
1. Without pressing hard on the pencil, outline the outlines of the snake's head, the location of its body;
2. Draw the outlines of the body of the snake, which should gradually taper towards the end;
3. Draw a round eye and a nostril that are on the same line;
4. Draw the pupil and mouth of the snake. Note that the snake's mouth has a slight curve at the tip of its muzzle;
5. Draw the cells of the snake's skin on her head;
6. Draw cells on the entire body of the snake, gradually reducing their size closer to the tail;
7. Circle the image with a pen;
8. Using an eraser, completely remove the preliminary sketch;
9. Having understood how to draw a snake with a pencil in stages, you can proceed to coloring it with multi-colored pencils. To do this, first paint the pupil of the snake with a black pencil, and paint over the iris with emerald hues;
10. With light green and bright yellow pencils, paint the body of the snake and its head;
11. With a dark green pencil, darken the area between the cells.
So, the snake drawing is ready. Now you know how to draw a snake step by step, and then color it. To give the picture color, you can use paints, as well as felt-tip pens of the appropriate shades. Knowing how to draw a snake, you can draw both a python and a viper, because they have a similar structure. The main thing is not to forget that each snake has a certain color. Some snakes are dark and almost invisible, while some, on the contrary, have a bright color and a bizarre pattern.
