For example, almost a quarter of all small arms that exist on the planet today are related to AK and its various modifications. This machine is in service in the armies and units of internal troops of the largest number of countries. Unfortunately, in the sad statistics on the number of those killed from him in military conflicts and terrorist attacks, he also leads. But this is not about that. And not even about its technical characteristics, which for more than half a century have been considered one of the best in the world. Today we will consider the exclusively aesthetic side of the issue - its outstanding and expressive appearance. At the same time, we learn how to draw an AK-47 on paper. This legendary weapon certainly deserves such attention.
Bit of theory
Before you draw the AK-47, consider its device. To portray it believable, you need at least a superficial knowledge of its main parts.
AK-47 has a wooden butt, a characteristic curved horn, a short barrel with a front sight. The shape of the butt is an important detail for the artist, it distinguishes this model from "brothers".
How to draw an AK-47 with a pencil in stages? Main steps
- Draw marking lines. Do not put too much pressure on the pencil, we will remove the auxiliary lines later. The stock is lowered at a slight angle, the barrel of the AK-47 is very short, special attention should be paid to this.
- We draw the main parts of the machine. We detail the trunk.
- We pass to the remaining parts. We attach the stock to a more rounded shape, draw a recess on its upper part. On the horn, we draw the longitudinal lines characteristic of this AK model. Between the handle and the horn is a trigger and a fuse.
- Before drawing the AK-47, we decided to draw auxiliary lines without strong pressure. Therefore, now we can easily remove them with an eraser. The main lines, on the contrary, we will point out, we will make it clearer.
Final stage
How to draw an AK-47, we learned. Now let's make the picture more realistic. At this stage, we need simple pencils M and 2M, an eraser. Using the softest pencil, draw the deepest shadows, make shading. An ordinary soft pencil is useful where you need to draw clear lines - for example, on the slots of the horn. Using an eraser, apply a few highlights on the convex parts. This will add volume drawing.
Done! You can brag to your friends with a realistic image of the legendary weapon.
