How to draw a cucumber beautifully?

The older the baby becomes, the more he learns the world. At first everything is limited to toy-rattles, then various developing subjects fall into his hands, then books with colored pictures, on which the child already recognizes and shows animals, people, vegetables and fruits ... Naturally, my mother helps the child in every way, tells about certain animals , Birds, plants.

But for a better effect, it would be nice to draw along with the child - you draw, he observes, remembers, draws conclusions. In parallel, you can tell him about the properties, appearance, color depicted, etc.

Let's show

Today, let's talk about how to draw a cucumber. It is a simple shape, one color, so that the baby will easily remember this vegetable and no longer be confused with others. In the same way, you can gradually introduce him to other vegetables, fruits, berries. It would be nice to create a card file from your own drawings, and then play with the child.

For example, ask him to show a tomato (he should get the right picture). Or you will offer him an image, say, watermelon, and he will call it. Over time, you can even ask the baby to show how to draw a cucumber in pencil, how to depict a melon, carrots. In general, there are a lot of options for development. So, let's begin.

How to draw a cucumber in stages?

First, mark the approximate beginning and end of the vegetable. Let it be two points, one slightly lower, the other higher. Connect them with a straight line. Then draw an arc from the bottom, which at one end will rest against the first point, the other - in the second. On top, draw a curve that also connects both starting points. It turned out a silhouette, in shape already reminiscent of the future cucumber. Now erase the extra points and lines with the eraser and give the contours of the vegetable the final shape. Next, you need to understand how to draw a cucumber so that it looks like a real one. To do this, from the left side of the cucumber, on its tip, draw a flower.

And on the opposite side, draw a tail in the form of two short parallel lines, located a short distance from each other. At the bottom of the cucumber, connect them with a small arc. Add a mustache, which extends from the tail, depicting it in the form of two swirling lines, located almost closely to each other. Then draw light strokes of the strip along the entire cucumber, and on them depict the characteristic pimples. Done!

Now you know from your own experience how to draw a cucumber. But the picture will be incomplete without rough, a few spiny cucumber leaves. Let's try and paint a leaf.

Final stage

First, mark the sheet size with two intersecting perpendicular lines. Then carefully draw the main line and from it - the rays diverging in the sides. Make out the contours of the sheet - it looks a bit like a triangle with carved sides. Remove unnecessary lines. Carefully, with light strokes, draw a vein. Figure the base of the sheet - the "wand" on which it is held. All! From now on you will not be able to show the baby how to draw a cucumber.
