Childhood - it's golden time. So much new to learn, experience, learn. The interest of the child is unlimited. Thousands of questions “why,” “but how,” “why.” And it’s good if parents help to master such a complex, but unusually interesting subject called “life”. Then all the skills, habits and even mistakes in the future can turn into a truly real and rare talent. For example, the talent of the artist. And even if in childhood the future genius did not know how to draw a kid, then soon generations can admire the world famous canvases of the great artist!
How to draw a kid: teaching since childhood
So, all children love to draw. Basically, they paint what surrounds them - friends, family, animals and fairy tale characters. And if not everything turns out right away, you can learn to draw. At least with the help of a simple instruction.
Consider how to draw a kid in stages at home. Not everything is as complicated as it seems. The main thing is to try. So, sit down comfortably and imagine the future hero together with the baby. Let him graze on the green lawn and chew the grass.
What is needed
To get started, we will prepare everything you need: paper, a simple pencil, an eraser and colored pencils. Choose high-quality pencils, soft enough. Too hard will scratch the paper and leave marks if you have to fix something with an eraser. Softer convenient to use, they are pleased to make light sketches.
Getting started drawing
First, draw a small oval. This is the head. Let's draw the main details: eyes, nostrils, mouth. Add ears and horns from above. From the head we draw two lines a little up. This is the neck. This is how the head tilted. From the neck we continue the line and draw the back. Further in any instruction on how to draw a kid, it is usually indicated that the neck and back should be connected to the oval more than the head. This is the body of the future goat.
Now draw the legs. Let's start with the front ones, let them be a little bent. We outline a straight line at the back and divide it approximately in half. This is the back leg of the animal. And the marked middle of the line is the bend of the leg. No, let the top be a little longer. Do not be afraid to make a mistake in the process. There are no established templates for goats, but what didn’t work out can be quickly removed with an eraser or call it an “author’s idea”. By the way, our instruction is suitable even if you do not know how to draw a kid from a fairy tale - there is not much difference.
So, having drawn the back leg, next we add another. Draw the hooves below. We will do the same with the front legs. Then add a small ponytail. Draw the hair. She is not as curly as a sheep’s, but rather thick and slightly wavy. And this must be seen in the figure. Below we outline the grass and flowers - so the composition will look more complete and complete. In the process, you can tell the child what the kids are eating, who their parents are, and that they, like all children, love to play and run. Such a lesson will not only teach you how to draw a kid, but it will remain in your memory for a long time. Having finished the drawing with a simple pencil, circle it with black paste and erase the outline with an eraser. Now you can make it color.
Decorated - and you're done!
Ask the kid to choose the color of pencils for your picture. Do not be surprised if he wants to color the animal not white, but, for example, blue and orange, the grass pink and the sky purple.
Do not forbid and say that it is wrong. Children perceive the world in their own way. And often not at all like we adults. The main thing is that today they have learned how to draw a kid, and will soon be ready to perceive information about the rules for using color. By the way, such a drawing can be done with paints. The algorithm itself remains the same. Over time, having mastered the basics of drawing, it will be possible to do without a simple pencil. Although to whom it is more convenient. After all, this is a matter of taste and habit.
