Knowing how to draw dolls will help to decorate the walls in the baby’s room, make interesting stickers on children's furniture or covers for notebooks and albums. Many professional artists use this skill to create patterns on fabrics and wallpapers.
Decorative wall and furniture stickers
For the manufacture of designer stickers on children's furniture, the walls in the kid’s room are perfectly suitable for ordinary sheets from an album for drawing. To simplify and accelerate the process of "reproduction" of drawings, it is recommended to make patterns: the general contour, the scarf, the face of the matryoshka.
A contour according to the template is redrawn on each sheet from the album, then details of the scarf are added. After that, the face is transferred according to the template. After coloring the sarafan and the scarf, the dolls begin painting the face. If the master does not have the skills to draw faces, a sketchy face is quite suitable: symbolic eyes with dots, the nose can be depicted using a short arc or a vertical segment, the lips are represented by an arc, asymmetrical to the nose, but larger in size.
Painting "Matryoshka" in color
Since you can draw nesting dolls on paper for a wall painting or for a card as a gift, it should be noted that there are two options. One option is a color image of the toy.
It should be remembered that the Russian doll is a symbol of the Russian people. And to emphasize the belonging of this subject specifically to Russian culture, one can use the methods of Russian folk craftsmen in painting wooden clothes to paint her outfit.

Master class "How to draw a matryoshka in stages with a pencil"
- First you need to draw the outline or outline of the future nesting dolls. It has the form of an oval with a cut bottom and wave-shaped sides - the outlines of the shoulders of a wooden doll.
- Then, a circle for the face is drawn at the top of the outline.
- An oval of smaller diameter is located in the lower part of the matryoshka contour and its upper part covers the circumference for the face. It will be an apron toy. Moreover, the arc falling into the circle is erased by an eraser.
- Next, an ornament or any pattern is drawn on the apron - a flower, a heart, a twig. An arc is drawn across the contour - this line indicates the junction of the two pop-up dolls halves. The smallest figure has no such line, because it is the last of the toys put into each other, which can no longer be opened.
- Since it is impossible to draw dolls without faces, the time has come to begin this stage. Therefore, we accurately depict inside the circle the eyes, nose, mouth and hairs.
- You can finish the nesting doll handles and scarf. Usually this is the largest first matryoshka doll.
- If desired, knowing how to draw a nesting doll with a pencil, you can depict the entire composition, starting with the largest and ending with the smallest doll. There are options: make faces for nested dolls different, apron patterns can also vary, or you can write twin nesting dolls with the same faces and dressed also identically to each other.
Application for baby clothes "Matryoshka"
Children's things decorated with applique look extremely beautiful. If the craftswoman knows how to draw a nesting doll, then it will not be difficult for her to make such an ornament on children's clothes.
For work, you will need three different types of fabric: for a sundress, a scarf and the face of a nesting doll. You can make blouse sleeves, but it’s rather difficult, because the details will be too small.
First you need to draw the outline of the nesting dolls on paper of the size that the application is planned to sew or stick on the product. Having cut the pattern along the contour, it is transferred to a fabric for a sundress and cut out.
Now a kerchief is drawn on the contour template and cut out. It also needs to be transferred to the fabric, only to the one that is designed for the nesting doll. Cut out the part of the application - the scarf.
On the template, scarves draw a circle - the face of a nesting doll. Cut out a face pattern, lay on the desired fabric, trace and cut out.
Alternately lay the parts on top of the chosen place for application one by one: the main contour, on top of the scarf, then the face circle. After this “puffed” pie is fastened with safety pins or needle stitches, the parts are sewn along the edge with a sewing hem.
After all the details of the application are sewn, you can embroider the face of the nesting dolls. It is appropriate to use beads or buttons to simulate the eyes, but the mouth and hair will have to be embroidered. If the application is quite large, then the hair can also be made of fabric and sewn.
That's how many useful things a person can create with his own hands who knows how to draw an ordinary nesting doll!
