All girls want to be princesses, because it is with these heroines that they associate themselves. Therefore, when the teacher in kindergarten says to draw a favorite character, the child does not think. A little girl comes home and asks her parents to help her draw a princess. Dad shifts the task to Mom’s fragile shoulders. How to be in such a situation, you can’t fall into the mud and tell your child that you are not an artist. In this article we will tell you how to draw Vasilisa the Beautiful.
Draw with a pencil
To help your child develop creatively, you first need to maintain a fuse. Therefore, if a girl wants to draw a doll of Vasilisa the Beautiful, you need to help her in this endeavor. We prepare the material, we need: A4 sheet, hard-soft pencil and soft eraser.
Everyone who wondered how to draw Vasilisa the Beautiful knows that the most difficult thing is to start. The first thing you always need to do before building any picture is the layout. Put two marks, one on top of the sheet, the other on the bottom. It’s impossible to crawl out for them, otherwise our drawing may gradually “leave” beyond the boundaries allotted to it. Now we outline the head.
Remember that it fits into the human body 7-8 times. Have outlined a circle, now you can detail it. First we outline the kokoshnik, and only then the facial features. Draw the eyes, nose and lips. Next, we proceed to the construction of the figure. Our task is to draw the character of the cartoon "Vasilisa the Beautiful", which stands with one hand resting on its side and holding a handkerchief in the other. It is not necessary to completely draw a figure, since it will not be visible from under the dress. But to build in proportion to the hands still follows. Remember that the brush reaches a person to the middle of the thigh. Vasilisa's raised hand should be practically in line with the other hand. After building, you need to move on to the details. We draw folds on clothes, an ornament on a dress and a kokoshnik. Our beauty is ready.
Draw watercolors
We can color the picture that we got in the last paragraph or depict Vasilisa the Beautiful in a different pose. But in any case, we will come to the stage when our pencil sketch is ready. It remains to add him a little color.
How to draw Vasilisa Beautiful watercolor? You need to start by drawing a figure. Choose a yellow color and cover them with the whole sheet. We remember that we have neither pure white, nor pure black. When the first coat of paint has dried, we begin to apply the paint in turn, passing from the lightest shades to the darkest. For example, you can look at the illustration of I. Bilibin "Vasilisa the Beautiful."
The artist in this picture did not use half-tones, and we can also afford not to do this. Just gently fill the contours with flowers, and then circle them with a black gel pen.
Draw gouache
The principle of working with watercolors is strikingly different from all other artistic techniques. But not in our case. When a child draws, we forgive him a lot. The main thing is to interest the child, but she still has time to learn the technique.
How to draw Vasilisa Beautiful gouache? First, using the techniques from the paragraph above, we give each detail of the picture its own color. And then we begin to draw a shadow. You need to start with the clothes of Vasilisa. On a dress with darker paint, we designate the shadow, and also designate it on the shirt and shawl. Having drawn the figure, go to the background. The leaves on the trees need to be painted in several colors. The final touch - draw a reflection in the water.
Mom draws for daughter
To please your child, sometimes you need to try. How nice it will be for the girl to receive the fairy tales "Vasilisa the Beautiful" from her mother of drawn characters. Especially if the picture shows the portrait of the main character. To facilitate your work, you don’t need to draw the whole figure, it’s difficult. Therefore, we start with a portrait. Half of the sheet is immediately taken to the kokoshnik. And then we begin to build a face. You need to draw Vasilisa in ¾, then proportional irregularities will not be very visible.
In the foreground, draw an eye, draw an axial eye and draw a second eye deep in the face, half the size of the first. Somewhere in the middle we draw a nose. In order not to get into trouble, it is better to outline only its lower part. Well, there were lips. When drawing them, do not forget about the nasolabial fold. It remains to draw a kokoshnik. It is easy. Here you need to show imagination, you can lay out a pattern with beads or arrange them in a chaotic manner.
