Almost every boy in his childhood plays war games, collects soldiers and cars, and arranges imaginary battles and battles. And he probably asks his parents how to draw military equipment, especially if he is an aspiring artist. Such are our "boys"! Let's try and we do it together with our children.
Where to start?
In order to draw military equipment in stages with a pencil, you first need to decide what types of weapons we will depict? In this lesson, we suggest drawing a plane and a tank.
Fighter aircraft
In order for us to depict it, we need to know only some structural features of this aircraft. And also it is necessary to maintain in the figure the proportions of the wing and tail of the aircraft. This is not so difficult and even a small child can do (under the guidance of parents, of course)! A military aircraft is different from a passenger one. It has a slightly different shape, as well as additional devices: missiles, weapons. So, the lesson "How to draw military equipment", part one - the plane.
Step 1. First we draw the main lines of the aircraft (its body, wings, tail). To do this, we draw a straight long horizontal line on a piece of paper. On one side of the line we draw a square outline - the future cockpit. On the sides we draw two other lines, slightly oblique - these are the wings. Below we draw two more inclined small lines - the future tail. It turned out a sketch of the contours of a military fighter aircraft.
Step 2. Detail the image. Let's start from the front of the plane. Make a sharp nose shape that looks like a rocket. Further: from here we branch out the contours to the wings. Create a stroke of the rear part - tail wing flaps. There are also turbines. Draw them using ovals. If the plane is flying, we will draw fire from the turbines.
Step 3. Smooth the corners of the lines, remove unnecessary ones. The plane is almost ready. We finish arming under the wings - most likely, these will be missiles.
Step 4. Now apply shadows, shade, give volume. Do not forget about aerodynamics in the lesson "How to draw military equipment"! Otherwise, our plane will not fly!
If desired, you can draw a pilot in the cockpit. If you want, you can paint the fuselage and wings. Camo camouflage is also suitable.
Tank
We continue our lesson "How to draw military equipment with a pencil." And the next stage is the tank. I probably want to draw it for every boy! If you want to know, the image of the tank (or self-propelled guns) is one of the most popular among the guys.
Step 1. The tank consists of geometric shapes: rhombus, oval, square. Therefore, drawing it is quite simple - if done schematically. First we draw a sketch for the tank’s tracks. In the form of a hexagon. Inside is the center line, which will then help us draw the wheels of the same size.
Step 2. Next is the base of the tank hull. These are two trapezoids - one in front and one in the back. Instead of them, you can also draw a rectangle, mounted on the tracks, only now we smooth the upper corners.
Step 3. We begin to draw a tower. This is a rectangle. We will also round its corners in the back. Let's portray the barrel of a tank. It in the form of a horizontal pipe leaves the tower.
Step 4. We draw the wheels in the chassis of the tank. We make sure that they are proportional to the size of the whole picture.
Step 5. Remove unnecessary, hatch, shade. The drawing is ready!
Summary
From this lesson, you learned how to draw military equipment with your boy. If he asks you to make such a drawing, it will not be difficult for you. Draw together! Good luck in your work!
