Every mother sitting on maternity leave, sooner or later, begins to teach the baby to recognize animals. For this, they usually buy large books with bright, colorful pictures, so that the child can look at them for a long time without losing interest. Mom turns the pages, showing a dog, a cow, a goat, teaches the baby the sounds that these or those animals utter.
Gradually, the child begins to recognize each animal by its distinctive signs: fluffy and striped is most likely a cat, and gray and long-eared is a bunny. But a camel, of course, is most easily recognized by its hump. But even the most picturesque pictures over time bother the restless baby, and then you can try to captivate him with drawing.
Today we will try to explain how to draw a camel. At the same time, mom can come up with a whole story about these amazing animals and tell her child so that he would not be bored to watch the process. Tell the baby what the camel eats, where he lives and why he needs a hump, of course, tell me, show the baby in detail how to draw a camel with a pencil. Thus, you will catch two birds with one stone - and broaden the horizons of the child, and carry him away with an interesting thing. And our master class will help you. So, let's begin.
How to draw a camel in stages?
We will represent a two-humped camel. Expand the landscape sheet horizontally and in its right edge, draw a circle almost at the very top. It will be the head of a camel. With a thin strip, divide it into two parts. Then from the head down and then up again draw a long smooth line - here later there will be a neck and a body of an animal.
Draw limbs
Now let's move on to the legs. To make them look proportionate, you first need to outline the points - the joints connected by straight lines. To do this, first draw a small arc at the very end of the trunk line. At both ends, put two thick dots. From each of them draw two almost parallel straight lines down. Add dots at the end of each line. Two more lines and two more points. And finally, a third pair of lines ending in dots. From these points, draw one short stroke. There should be eight in total.
This is a future pair of hind legs. To draw the front, from that part of the line of the body where the neck passes into the body, draw two lines apart, united by a common base. Put dots on their ends. Then two more lines, and again two points. And the last pair of lines, dots and short lines of them. Only six points. And nothing that while the legs of the camel are thin, like elephants from the paintings of Salvador Dali. This is not for long, because our goal is to understand how to draw a camel that is as similar as possible to the real one, and leave the pictures in the spirit of surrealism for connoisseurs. Now for the details.
How to draw a camel with two humps?
Decorate the voluminous neck, let it gradually move into the body. Then, using a deep arc, depict the first hump, and the second - next to it, it is only half visible. At the top of the head, draw an eye and an ear. At the level of the second pairs of points of the legs, outline the stomach. Make a slightly elongated face with a protruding lip, draw a coat on the back of the head and below the ear, as well as on the underside of the neck.
With a pencil, starting from the hump, using smooth lines draw the hind leg so that the joint points are in the middle of the leg. Bend in places near points. Thus, draw all four legs, each of which ends with two fingers.
Finishing touches
Dots and thin lines inside the legs, as well as all other extra strokes, remove. Make a clear contour of the head, neck, torso. Draw a short ponytail with a brush. Done! Now you know how to draw a camel, and you can easily do it.
