Fairytale characters like Carlson are recognizable at all times. Who said the favorite phrase: "Calm, only calm"? Yes, this is the same funny, mischievous and funny, beloved "live" propeller. Both adults and children of all generations must have read Astrid Lindgren's tale. A naive but very cunning character who loves ice cream and jam. Let's look at how to draw Carlson in stages. Even a beginner can handle this drawing lesson.
Sketch creation
We take good landscape paper so that it does not leak water. Photocopying sheets will not work. How and how to draw Carlson? This cartoon character is very bright and beautiful, so watercolor, gouache, pastel, pencils or felt-tip pens are suitable as fillers for elements. We will prepare a simple pencil and an eraser and gradually begin drawing. We schematically depict the hero in motion, he will seem to hang in the air, tilting the body slightly forward. We draw the arms and legs in small lines, the body is round, and the head looks more like an oval.
We work on the face and clothes
How to draw Carlson and his face? Carlson will never be confused with anyone, his nose is like potatoes, pretty eyes with roundish ears, small ears, eyebrows with a house and a fringe untidily disheveled. Facial expressions are kind, bright facial expressions. Take a look at the color picture and carefully consider the features of the character's face.
The next stage of his drawing is the body, which is hidden under the clothes. Carlson is a fashionable character and wears his neat jumpsuit on one shoulder. His shirt is with a short sleeve, there are boots and, of course, do not forget about the main element that helps him climb the roof - the propeller. “How to draw Carlson on the roof?” You ask. This is not difficult. All of us in childhood painted small houses. Carlson has the same dwelling, only it is on the roof of a residential building. At the base of the house, draw a platform of tiles - this will be the roof of the building.
Getting to the coloring of the body
We take paints and begin to paint our face and hands, for this we need to mix orange and red on the palette and add a little ocher, a slightly watery color should be. Highlight your cheeks and nose, and darken your hands in relation to the face. You need to draw a red mouth and a button, it is desirable that the red tones also differ, this will require a palette again. Refined, brown eyebrows. If you lift up your trouser leg, do not forget to paint over a peeling piece of leg. Make your hair as bright as fire. Take saturated colors, better gouache.
Paint clothes
We turn to the jumpsuit, it is made with a bluish tint, whatever you like. In the shade, the paint becomes brighter, in the light it is more transparent. The pocket should be light to stand out against the general background. The body is untidy, round, so check that all parts are in place. To match colors, make Carlson's shirt green. In the shirt, observe the play of colors, darken somewhere, enlighten somewhere. We draw the propeller with red gouache. On the edge, highlight the color so that you can understand the thickness of the propeller. On the blades we designate shadows with the addition of a brownish tone, draw the same shoes, on the sole you can draw in thick paint.
We looked at how to draw Carlson. The last stage of drawing is a stroke along the Carlson contour, for this a thin brush and black paint are taken. We draw the stitching of overalls, laces and folds on clothes. We bring out the eyes so that they look natural and mischievous.
This is what an attractive and beautiful hero we have. We think the lesson “How to Draw Carlson in Phases” has become useful for you, and now you will want to draw other fairy-tale and cartoon characters.
