When drawing people, one has to pay attention to the fact that there are certain characteristic differences when portraying the workers of a particular profession. For example, it is enough for a physician to “dress” in a white coat and a hat with a red cross, and a ballerina in a “tutu”. But I wonder how the appearance of a lifeguard or, more precisely, a fireman differs? Let's get acquainted with the features, trying to depict the specified image on paper. The work will be quite simple if you know how to draw a fireman in stages. Pictures accompanying the detailed instructions will help.
How to draw a fireman with a pencil? Stage One - Make Preliminary Drafts
- Start by positioning the proportional body layout. Since the firefighter will lean forward slightly to hold the hose in his hands, the main line of the back looks like a slightly curved arc.
- The lines of the hands emanating from the transverse shoulder area, draw forward, and the palms in small ovals.
- Mark the line of the fire hose on the layout. The hips will be almost parallel to her.
- Layouts of both legs draw slightly bent at the knees.
- Guided by the main baselines, outline the outlines of a future firefighter suit, which consists of a loose jacket, pants and helmet.
Stage two - make out a suit
How to draw a fireman so that you can immediately guess the profession by its appearance? To do this, be sure to depict several characteristic details when drawing a costume:
- A helmet with a loop hanging to the shoulders from behind and with a glass shield covering the face.
- A mask covering the face (preferably with a hose going to the oxygen cylinder, which is behind).
- A loose suit with signal stripes at the edges of the sleeves, jackets and trousers.
- Protective gloves on hand.
- Fire hose to extinguish a fire, preferably in action (i.e. with water sprayed forward and to the sides).
- Rubber boots (both with trousers tucked into them and with falling ones).
Stage Three - Specify Details
The named features will be enough to understand how to draw a fireman the most realistic way. Following the advice, instructions and drawings, even a novice artist can easily depict the desired image. More capable craftsmen can still further design the following details of the costume:
- tissue folds in the elbow, shoulder and knee zones;
- falling shadows in the groin and on the inside of the left hand;
- clearer contours of the fingers;
- a large assembly of a jacket under a belt;
- small finishing details on an oxygen cylinder and a mask.
And, of course, before applying clarifying subtleties and, at first glance, invisible secrets to an almost finished drawing, do not forget to delete all the layout lines drawn on the sheet at the first stage of work.
The final stage of how to draw a fireman - coloring
Agree that a black and white drawing, although it has many characteristic features, lacks vivacity and originality. What to do Add colors! It is the saturation of individual details of the costume by decorating with pencils or paints in combination with the skillful selection of the right shades that will allow to fully realize the plan. After all, a bright yellow suit with red signal stripes in combination with a blue stream of sprayed water is a clear indication of compliance with the profession of a fireman.
So, you got acquainted with the recommendations and tips on how to draw a fireman. Perhaps it is worth trying to translate representatives of other professions into very real images? Agree that this is very interesting and exciting!
