Drawing is not only a way to have a good time with your child. It helps the baby learn to better distinguish colors, mix them, and further develops spatial imagination and teaches artistic taste. So drawing classes are very useful. And, of course, our imagination is also important. Thanks to him, children's drawings are not like one another.
But besides fantasy, you need to have some knowledge and skills so that the object in the picture turns out to be recognizable, and people around you do not have to wonder what is depicted on it. That's why all kinds of master classes in drawing are popular with children and their parents. And today we will hold one of them. Namely, we will learn how to draw the cabbage correctly. This is not at all difficult. You just need to follow the instructions.
Materials
How to draw a cabbage and what do we need for this? Necessarily paper, a soft eraser to erase excess lines, a simple pencil. Also, before drawing a cabbage, you should remember what color it is and choose the appropriate shade. So then we will need a green pencil. Better take two - light and dark, and also capture white, it will come in handy too.
So, we want to learn how to draw cabbage in stages. What do we need to do first? Let us imagine parts of it. An ordinary white-headed one consists of a rounded head, as well as curly upper leaves that surround it. So that is exactly how we will draw it. In this manner, the image of cabbage is similar to a rose - both of them begin with a dense, rounded base, and then, thanks to the artist, “grow” with leaves.
How to draw cabbage in pencil in stages?
Well, let's get down to the first explanation. In the middle of the sheet, you need to arrange the circle in size of the future head of cabbage. You need to draw it with a simple pencil without pressing. Then it is necessary to depict the first two sheets - they will be adjacent to the head. To do this, inside the circle we draw two curved lines that will have a common beginning and end. They should be a little wavy, like the edges of the leaves of a real cabbage. Now we take a dark green pencil and trace along the contour each resulting sheet, that is, half the circle and the curve that separates it.
The second step is to image the leaves. Heads usually look a bit disheveled. So we will do. Around our "head" you need to depict leaves with three or four curved wavy lines. They also need to be outlined with a dark green pencil. Now is the time to move on to the third stage. We need to colorize our head of cabbage. The cabbage leaves at the edges are usually darker than at the base, so we use a dark pencil for the tips, and for the place where the cob should be, light and make a feathery transition from one shade to another. It remains to draw the last, but very important detail.
Streaks are very noticeable on all cabbage leaves, and thanks to them even the most “abstract” image of this vegetable will be recognizable. It is for them that we will need a white pencil. Draw on top of painted leaves. In the center passes one main vein, from which, like branches from a tree, you need to depict the lateral.
Conclusion
And now our vegetable is ready. Now it’s clear how to draw a cabbage. As you can see, it’s very simple. This skill is easy to teach for both children and adults. And the cabbage drawn in this way is surely not to be confused with anything else.
