How to draw Mom, the first option (simple)

First of all, your functions are organizational. You need to find a picture (where you want: in a book or magazine), from which the drawing will be redrawn, and, of course, materials - thick paper of any color and sharply sharpened colored pencils or crayons of wax. Suppose a child is small (3-4 years old), show him how to draw an animal mother and her touching little cub. One drawing will belong to the "brush" of the child, the other is Papa's. Then they can be beautifully combined, pasted on a large sheet of solid color cardboard, and inserted into the frame.

In addition, that this is a good, original gift that will go down in the annals of the family, it is also a great time spent with the child, which is valuable in itself and will be remembered for ever.

If the child is older (10-12 years), then you can show him how to draw a mother, or rather her portrait. Of course, this is difficult! But to take care of your mother daily and love all of you around the clock is even more difficult. But imagine how she will be pleased!

Below is an instruction on how to draw a mother by her beautiful and most expressive photograph. Preparatory work is similar to the first option.

How to draw a mother in pencil, the second option (complex)

1. We take a successful mother's photo. We outline the most precise contours of its photographic face with the line. It is not necessary to draw unmanifested weak lines, for example, the wings of the nose and other small details. You can make a drawing of the same size as the photo, and from time to time put a thin sheet on the picture and look at the skylight, whether the image coincides with the original.

2. We paint the face in small smooth strokes with a dense layer of pencil flesh-colored. Contour the lips inside the pink color. The lower lip is drawn in a lighter tone, the upper one is darker.

3. Look closely at the photo. Mark in the figure the shaded areas, select the color of the shadows. They should be different from the complexion, be darker or lighter.

4. Look at the photo even more closely. Find the highlights and mark them in your drawing, filling it with a lighter tone than the face. These zones will also be of different colors.

5. Now carefully consider and draw hair, eyes, small details, mark with slightly prominent strokes. Eyes should be placed symmetrically, if the portrait is full-face.

6. Mark with barely noticeable strokes of the eye socket, this will help to draw the shape of the eyes and eyebrows more correctly. Ears and nose should be equal in height.

When drawing on photography, the most important thing is often to compare the drawing with the original, correctly outline the face and head, taking into account the shape of the skull. Painting or toning should be smooth, uniform, eyes and face - look brighter than hair and clothing. Do not worry, Mom will necessarily like the work you have done, even if it is in some way imperfect.
