They say that Russian girls are the most beautiful. Nature has endowed our compatriots with pleasant facial features, blond hair and a graceful figure. Thanks to good external data, as well as their own work, the girls look beautiful even in retirement. It is not surprising that many painters and graphic artists wanted to capture our girls on their canvases. And today we will try ourselves as an artist and draw portraits of Russian beauties, as well as a full-length figure.
Draw with children
When a child paints a portrait of a Russian beauty, he usually depicts his mother’s face. After all, it is this person who plays a big role in his life. Therefore, reading fairy tales with a child, one needs to develop his imagination and attention. After the fairy tale is read, you can invite the kid to draw the main character. And how to do it?
The easiest way is to portray a girl in a skirt and draw her a kokoshnik. We will analyze the progress of work in stages. First of all, we draw the figure of a beautiful woman. These will be two triangles connected by sharp ends in the middle. The bottom figure is a skirt, it should be 3 times larger than the top corset. The dress is ready, we draw a circle-head and do not forget that any person has a neck. Hands are represented by rectangles. Do not forget to draw your fingers. We put boots on our feet. It remains to supplement the drawing with some details. This is the face of a beautiful woman, a braid and, of course, a kokoshnik. Eyes and nose can be marked with dots, lips in a semicircle. And the last detail is the decor on the dress and kokoshnik.
Cartoon heroine
Portraits of Russian beauties need not be reliable. If you draw with children, it’s easier to portray a comic book character. So the child will be pleased not only with the creative process, but also with the result. The character of our drawing will be a girl dressed in a fur coat, a long skirt and a fur hat. Standard Russian beauty in the winter.
Let's start with the layout. On the sheet we depict not only a girl, but also a church, a tree and stones. We outline the figure and divide it into three parts. Now we divide the upper sector in half again. We draw the lower half of the head in a circle, the upper one is a hat, draw it with an oval. You can immediately outline facial features. We will draw a figure in three quarters, this is the easiest angle.
Getting to the drawing of a fur coat. To begin with, we outline it with a trapezoid. Next, we detail the fur coat, adding a fur trim. Now depict the hands. In order not to draw fingers, we put a sleeve on the girl. Now it's up to the skirt. To make it look more interesting, do not forget to depict the folds. We draw 5 vertical lines along the skirt, and draw a hem with a wavy line. It remains to not forget about the background - in the form of a church, trees, stones. Our drawing is ready.
Princess portrait
If a child has artistic talent, then, in principle, he can not display the whole figure on paper. How to draw a portrait of a Russian beauty?
It is necessary to outline the dimensions of the picture. The face should occupy half or one third of the sheet. We draw an oval, draw a hairline in two semicircles. Immediately draw a kokoshnik. It will look like a pointed semicircle. Princesses walk in dresses, so this part of the drawing needs to be given special attention. In order not to torment the child with the image of the decor, you can come up with a more complex style of clothing. The figure of the girl should resemble an hourglass. But the sleeves can be drawn in the form of several interconnected circles or ovals. In the same way, you can depict the braid. We put beads on the neck of the beauty. Only the face remains. So that there is no problem that one eye is larger than the other, we draw the girl in a small spread, as if she had turned slightly away from the viewer. The eyes are represented by circles, and we give them the almond-shaped form through eyelashes. Draw the arches of the eyebrows, draw a nose in a small semicircle. It remains to outline the lips, and our beauty is ready. If desired, you can colorize the picture.
Russian beauty in a kokoshnik
At school, when children learn about the national costume, they are often given homework. How to draw a portrait of a Russian beauty? Grade 4 is the time when students can already portray people almost reliably. But painting portraits is too much of a challenge. Therefore, it is better to choose a simpler topic, for example, depict the whole figure of a girl in a national costume. In this figure, a portrait of a Russian beauty in a kokoshnik will also be present, but will not attract attention.
In order to portray a girl, we, again, need to compose a figure on a sheet. So that our beauty would not be bored, you can draw a young guy nearby. Getting to the image of a girl. Divide the figure into 4 parts. The first of them is dedicated to the image of the head and kokoshnik. We draw a face in a circle, and a hat in a semicircle. Do not forget to make a slight sharpening in its center. A trapezoid with a rounded edge depicts a sundress. The second of our four parts is set aside by hand. Corners draw them to the trapezoid. Also, triangles mark the shoes. It remains to detail the figure, draw a face and ornament on a sundress and kokoshnik. By analogy, we try to portray a young man.
Matryoshka
The classic Russian beauty can be portrayed as a national doll. Even a small child can draw a nesting doll. The portrait of the Russian beauty, depicted in this way, will distinguish the child from the crowd, which will copy Disney princesses.
It is better to draw a nested doll in parts. First, you should depict the right half, and then use the window to mirror your creation. Draw a semicircle symbolizing the face. The next step is to image the outline. It needs to be copied from the example shown above. Now you need to fill the empty space. First we clarify the face: draw eyes, lips, nose and cheeks. Now we draw a hand. It is an oval connected to the palm. It should be noted that the matryoshka can have 4 fingers, but not 5. And now we start creativity. We dress our beauty in an apron and draw flowers. The final touch - transfer the image to the left side.
Modern interpretation
Today, abstraction is in fashion. Therefore, a drawing-portrait of a Russian beauty in a modern interpretation may look non-standard. For example, you can draw a beautiful bunch, a nice profile, outline the line of the neck and ear. But the face is optional to draw. You can do with non-trivial hatching or, in general, write a poem in place of the eyes and lips. It may even be a favorite verse.
