Drawings on the theme of Christmas for children, ideas step by step
Truly the most magical period in our lives is childhood. When you sincerely believe in miracles, you know that all your wishes and dreams will definitely come true. And Santa Claus is not a fiction. He's real, because you saw him in New Year's Eve, and when telling the poem, you knew that he would definitely give you what you wrote about in the letter. After all, if he came, then your letter was not lost, which means you were an obedient child.
Childhood is a little fairy tale in which you main character. And no matter what happens to you, you know that there are Chip and Dale who will come to the rescue in difficult times, and they are your dad and mom.
The main task of parents is to create this enchanting world, envelop it with warmth and love, create miracles and, of course, teach our children to do a little magic. And on the eve of the bright holiday of the Nativity of Christ, let us together with the children create in truth magic drawing, which will definitely bring peace, comfort, warmth and love to our home. Or maybe a small gift for the Christmas tree.
For the little ones, I offer 3 ideas for creating a drawing.
Option #1:
The first idea is an angel girl, because... every kid knows who “la-la” is and is obviously confident in her kindness, friendliness, and sincerity. So let's get started!
We will need a sheet of paper, a pencil and an eraser. And also to color our angel you can use: colored pencils, crayons, paints. For very little ones, I would advise using finger paints. Thanks to them, the child will be in to a greater extent involved in the process, and working with finger paints contributes to the development of tactile sensations in children.
The finished drawing will look like this:
Let's start creating a drawing, of course, with our face. Our “la-li”’s hair is evenly parted. Therefore, we draw, so to speak, a blurred letter “L”, and under it a semicircle. And immediately draw the eyes, leaving small highlights inside.
Then we finish drawing the mouth and adding volume to the hair.
Let's start with the dress. We draw lines from the head. Next, draw a collar in the form of a flag under the head and sleeves for our dress. Then we draw the hands.
Next in line are the legs, and we mark the line of the shoes. And let's move on to the wing. We draw the wing curved at the top. The top of the wing is at eye level, the bottom reaches our girl’s waist. There's just a little bit left to do. Repeat the second wing in mirror image. And don't forget about the halo above your head. Our sweet angel girl is ready!
Any child will love this drawing.
Option No. 2:
The second idea is a Christmas stocking. More and more often we are seeing Western motifs in New Year and Christmas designs. So the idea for a Christmas stocking came up immediately. Many children know this wonderful sock, in which you can find a gift and also enjoy something tasty. Let's start creating it on paper.
When finished, our drawing will look like this:
Materials for coloring socks, as well as a color palette, you will ask your child for advice. After all, he knows better what color will bring good luck.
The first thing that appears on our piece of paper is two crooked sticks, which can remind us of two clubs. Then on our “sticks” we draw the cuffs of future socks.
Then we fill the socks with goodies and gifts. Now let’s finish drawing the bottom of each sock. Another magical masterpiece is ready!
Option No. 3:
And the third idea will be more complicated. Let's draw a friend - a Christmas bear cub, who is in a hurry to congratulate our baby on the bright holiday of Christmas.
The finished bear will look like this:
Let's start drawing our friend from his head. To do this, draw a circle, inside which we draw auxiliary lines. We draw a fur liner for our hat on top of our circle. And we draw ears.
Let's make our friend cute - draw eyes, nose, mouth and freckles. Then we finish drawing our cap and move on to the body. First, we draw a scarf from which the arms of our bear will come.
Nativity drawing for school, detail with photo
The month of December for schoolchildren is not only about finals tests and pulling up their tails, but also being involved in the pre-holiday bustle: decorating classrooms, preparing for matinees and, of course, a lot of fakes and drawings.
During this period, during reading and literature lessons, children are required to become acquainted with passages from the Gospel, works of domestic and world literature, which touch on the themes of the Nativity of Christ. Thanks to this, children have a whole treasure trove of ideas that they will implement in labor and drawing lessons.
What can we most often observe on the paper of our little Picassos? Of course, everything that was recently read and heard about. Here are some photos from school exhibitions:
Look how wonderful, warm, kind, simple fairy tale drawings created by children. They exude a certain mystery, joy, happiness and love.
Having looked more closely at the creations of our children, we can name the main components that fill the drawings:
- By right, we can give first place to the Star of Bethlehem and the Angel. These two components are visible in almost every picture. After all, the holiday of the Nativity of Christ is most often associated with some kind of salvation, lightness, which the Angel and the star bring to us.
- The next place is occupied by images of the inhabitants of the Nativity scene. Children often depict baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph, as well as the wise men, oxen and sheep.
- Children landscape painters love to depict a starry night, houses covered in snow with white smoke coming from the chimneys.
- Of course, churches and temples occupy a special place in the drawings, as a symbol of faith, a guide between man and God.
What do our people like to work with? young artists? As you can see, the choice is huge. It all depends on the ability to work with this or that technique. To create a Christmas drawing you can use: a simple pencil, colored pencils, felt-tip pens, paints (watercolor or gouache). Many people add glitter to their designs, giving them shine and a bit of magic.
Drawing for the Nativity of Christ in pencil, step by step with photo
Let’s try to create a drawing for Christmas, for starters, in the usual way with a simple pencil. For this we will prepare a piece of paper. It is better to choose thicker paper. You will also need a simple pencil and eraser. And finally, let's grab some colored pencils to bring our masterpiece to life.
Let's decide on the main elements of our Christmas drawing. They will be: a sprig of spruce, as a symbol of the New Year, the winter season; a candle is a symbol of sacrament, night; An angel is a symbol of protection and patronage.
- First, we make a sketch and place the angel in the center. On the left side there was a spruce twig and a candle under the angel’s left hand. On background draw a semicircle. And we will cut the entire drawing into a rectangle. Part of the angel's wings and branches will extend beyond our drawing.
- Next, let's move on to the details: we make the face more rounded, the hair is wavy, and we draw the wings. Below we create a sketch of the houses, but do not specify it too much. Because, by design, they are shrouded in fog.
- We bring our angel to life, draw out the facial features, as well as the folds on his clothes. We erase our auxiliary lines. Let's take up colored pencils.
Let's take on yellow. We use it for the spruce branch, hair and draw a circle on the background. Then beige color Let's shade the angel's face and hands. Let's paint the hair brown. To make the spruce branch as realistic as possible, use two shades of green. And using sharp strokes we create needles.
The background of our drawing will be blue. We paint the lower part and the circle with this color. By applying pressure on the pencil, we are trying to get a transition from dark blue to light blue. Using purple color, we sketch our lower landscape. We also use purple and blue to outline the outline of the wings. And we will shade our entire background with orange, yellow and a little red.
To create contrast, take a black pencil and draw contours and details. Our Christmas drawing is ready!
Drawings of the Nativity with paints, step by step with photos
We bring to your attention two options for Christmas drawings made with paints.
Option #1:
We can offer the first drawing to very little ones, where they can not only get their fingers dirty, but also put their entire palm to the drawing.
- We will need: gouache, a simple pencil, felt-tip pens, a brush, a poke, a shaped cap from a felt-tip pen, a container for water and a container for diluting paint, as well as a sheet of paper pre-painted in blue.
- We prepare a container with white paint and lower our baby’s hands. Then we place our handprints on the prepared sheet of paper, so that our prints resemble the wings of an angel. The fingers should point down and slightly to the sides.
- Afterwards, add a little red to the container with white paint. This way we get a pink tint. We lower one palm. Imprint with pink paint We place it between two white palms a little lower. Then we extend our palm a little and create a body for our angel.
- Add a little yellow color to the container and draw the angel’s head. We do this with our baby's fingers. Create a head of hair on the head. To do this, take the cap of a felt-tip pen and use the round side to make prints.
- For the halo and stars we use gold paint. We draw the halo with our finger, and to create a starry sky we use the cap, but with the curly side. And we use it to decorate the bottom of the angel’s clothing. Using felt-tip pens, draw the face.
- Use the back of the tassel to decorate the top of the wings. Let's finish drawing the palms. And draw a twig with brown paint. Using green gouache and a brush, draw fluffy needles.
- We depict a star next to the branch. And on the branches, using a poke, we place balls of blue and pink color. Our drawing is ready!
Option No. 2:
We will draw the next drawing with older children.
- Required material and tools: gouache, A3 paper, nylon brushes (2, 3, 5).
- We place our sheet of paper horizontally in front of us. From the very beginning, with a simple pencil we thinly outline the hill where the church will be located in the future. Using three colors: yellow, pink and blue, we depict the sky.
- Blurring the boundaries between the three colors of our sky. To do this, rinse the brush. We remove excess water and just make it wet. Then we draw several times along the borders of the flowers. Using blue paint, paint over our hill.
- We draw the main walls of the church. And we finish drawing the roofs.
- Draw the supports for the domes. We make the middle one in a lighter tone, the side ones in a dark shade of gray. Using yellow color. We draw domes.
- Using thin lines we divide the wall of the church into parts. Then blur the lines a little on one edge to create a shadow effect. Drawing the future door.
- We draw the church windows and the architectural belt. Using blue color, we enhance the shadows.
- We make shadows on the doors and domes. We draw snow on the roof and domes of the church.
- We draw snow on the windows, on the belt, on the slopes of the roofs and on the ledges of the walls. We enhance our shadows by applying thin contours.
- Using a thin brush and orange, we draw crosses on the domes. Then with light strokes white create glare. In the background we draw the outline of the grove in blue.
- We fill the silhouette of the grove with pale purple, almost translucent. Using a thin brush we draw the branches of the grove. To do this, we take white, blue and cyan colors.
- Using wide white lines we draw the silhouettes of future trees and shrubs in the foreground. We blur the outline along the inner edge. You should get a transparent effect.
- We add lushness to the trees and bushes using the same line and blur technique that we used earlier. Using thin lines we draw the trunks and main branches of bushes and trees.
- Next we draw small branches. Add white twigs and draw snowdrifts.
- We add brightness to the snowdrifts by highlighting the top edge with blue and blurring it a little. Draw stars in the sky. We randomly place white dots.
- We place a large star above the main dome. And with careless strokes of yellow and white colors we draw the light emanating from the star.
Our picture is ready! Truly we have created a masterpiece!
Nativity drawings for the competition, ideas with photos step by step
Every year, on the eve of the holidays, children in kindergarten and school are invited to participate in creative competitions, where they can reveal their talents. Immediately before the holiday of the Nativity of Christ, most competitions are related to fine arts. Such events have a very positive effect on the development of the spiritual sphere of children’s activities. Contestants become more familiar with the history of the Christmas holiday, and also become familiar with the Christian faith.
Of course, to become a winner, the drawings must be created by yourself. Then this is not just a beautiful picture, but a living, real Christmas story of a little man. Of course, no one cancels the participation of parents. After all, the parents’ interest gives new strength to the baby, and he fantasizes on a given topic with greater involvement and great pleasure.
On competition drawing you can depict a biblical story or a Christmas tale. Frequent symbols that are depicted on Christmas Eve are a Christmas angel, a Christmas tree, bells, a temple, and Christmas heroes. You can draw Christmas pictures with a pencil, paints, markers, crayons. Many children win the hearts of spectators with their works made with grain, sand or batik technique. However, not everyone can do such work and require a very long training.
We suggest trying to create several options for the Christmas drawing competition. Each option will be of varying difficulty and is designed for a specific age of the contestant.
Option #1:
We can suggest repeating the first option to the youngest participants of the competition. This drawing carries one of the symbols of the holiday - bells. After all, this is already some kind of established tradition - the ringing of bells on Christmas Eve.
- To begin with, we will make sketches on a piece of paper. Let's draw two ovals that are inclined towards each other. Thanks to the auxiliary lines, we will mark the approximate size of our bells, their top and bottom. Then give the future shape with a bell and sketch out the outline of the bow.
- Next, we sketch out the foliage and ribbons of our bow. We will delete all the auxiliary lines later and the drawing will become more expressive. We give a clear shape to the bells, draw in detail the foliage and bow. Let's make an inscription.
- We erase all auxiliary lines. And we can start coloring. The bow is symbolically done in red, and the foliage in green.
- And the final touch remains - to paint the bells themselves. Our drawing is ready! In this version, these colors were used, but you can color it at your discretion.
Option No. 2:
The following idea can be proposed for middle school children. Traditionally, on the eve of such a holiday, children get acquainted with the biblical story of Christmas. Therefore, it will be symbolic to draw one of the plots.
- Symbolically, first we make sketches of the future drawing. We draw an outline in the center of a cradle with a baby and a donkey standing next to it.
- We gradually move on to the details of the room, to the baby’s crib, and then we start coloring the animals. You can do this with any colors you like. Our final result looks like this:
Option No. 3:
The third idea, in my opinion, is one of the most difficult. Therefore, it can be suggested for older children. We will create with you not just a drawing, but a real Christmas card. For this we will need paper for pastels and watercolor pencils, a picture of Kazanskaya prepared in advance Mother of God and baby watercolor pencils, white gouache, brushes, glue.
The picture of the Kazan Mother of God was not chosen by chance, but as a symbol of Christmas.
- At the first stage, we will need to glue our prepared picture in the upper left corner of the future postcard. Next, at the bottom left, we begin to draw the bells.
- Draw a bow on the bells and start drawing the church. We depict domes.
- Using white gouache, apply snow with a hard brush. Let's make an inscription.
This is such a wonderful Christmas card!
Let the weather outside your window inspire you to create beautiful paintings! Let this winter and the upcoming holidays become a source of creativity! We hope that the ideas we have proposed will help you, and you will be able to submit excellent works to your school and kindergarten competitions!

Beautiful pictures for Catholic and Orthodox Christmas
In our country, a tradition arose of giving Christmas presents and cards in late XIX century. The first decorations for the holiday were brought from distant England. I immediately fell in love with the beautiful and bright decor. And since 1898, domestic postcards and pictures began to be produced. Many years have passed since that day, but this tradition of celebration has not changed one bit.
Pictures with a hearth and Christmas table
The hearth is a symbol of home comfort and warmth. Some Christmas pictures carry the same meaning - goodness, comfort, and the warmth of family ties should be in the air in the house. The table at Christmas is always bursting with food, this is a symbol of prosperity and wealth. So let there always be a variety of dishes on your table.
Good afternoon, today I am uploading a large article that will help you choose the theme of the New Year's drawing, look at the idea and think over its embodiment in your creative drawing. IN New Year in schools and kindergartens they often conduct "New Year's drawing competition" and we, parents, begin to rack our brains to find a simple idea that our child can do. Exactly like this easy to implement drawings on New Year's theme I collected them here in one big pile. Here you will find stories with snowmen, penguins, polar bears, deer and Santa Claus.
Today in this article I will do the following:
- I'll show you how to draw snowman(in different poses and angles)
- I'll give step by step drawings New Year's characters(penguin, polar bear).
- I'll teach you
- I'll offer simple techniques for image Santa Claus.
- And we will also learn draw beautiful Christmas tree toys.
- And drawings - landscapes with the image of the New Year holiday.
So let's begin our journey into the world New Year's drawings for children and their parents.
How to draw a SNOWMAN
(simple ways)
In our New Year's drawings, we are used to depicting a snowman in the form pyramids of three rounds, topped with a rectangle-bucket. An established stereotype.
But this is the same as portraying a person only “ standing at attention, hands at your sides" If seasoned artists depict a person in the most different angles and poses, then young artists can depict their snowman from the same angles.
Here's an example snowman portrait drawing. We draw only the head of a snowman, wearing a creative hat, and add a New Year's twist to our drawing - for example, we hang a Christmas ball on the carrot nose.
You can put a bird on the snowman's nose. Or try to depict lively emotions on the snowman’s face - rosy cheeks, a tilt of the head, a soft smile - and notice the direction of the carrot. It is not necessary to draw the carrot strictly sideways horizontally. The carrot drawn down and to the side (diagonally) gives the snowman a touching look. And a New Year's hat with a pompom will add the spirit of the New Year to our drawing.
Our portrait of a snowman can have a lively emotion - he can look with touching tenderness at a flying snowflake. Or stretch your paw-twig towards the falling snow and throw back your head and look for a long time at the skies generous with snow.
A portrait of a snowman may have a touch of solidity– a tall hat, a clear symmetry of the nose and a gracefully tied scarf. Or maybe a snowman in a New Year's drawing like a slow-witted lout catching his hat in flight, pulled off by the wind. Good work for the children's New Year's drawing competition.
Here is an example of a New Year's drawing-portrait of a snowman - simple and step-by-step master class.
New Year's stories
with a snowman and a bird.
The painted snowman can hold a small bird in his hands. If you are good at drawing with gouache, then you can draw such a bright snowman in a knitted hat and a woolen scarf - with a red bird in his hand.
And if you are a beginner artist, then you can depict the same touching story with a bird in watercolors. And then, using a black pencil, draw clear silhouette contours and small details in the form of buttons and a nest with a sparrow. A very touching New Year's drawing.
Like this New Year's duet of a snowman and a bullfinch bird Even a child can draw. Simple shapes, and light application of shadows along the cap (darkening on one side, highlighting with white on the other side of the cap - this creates a visual volume-convexity). And around the snowman’s face we also apply light shadows - we add a little light gray-blue color to the white - and with this “bluish” white we draw shadows around the circumference of the snowman’s face - this way we get the effect of a convex spherical face.
And here’s an idea for a New Year’s drawing based on the same plot, where a bird sleeps wrapped in the tip of a long snowman’s scarf
Snowman with his friend teddy bear.
And here's another drawing oil on canvas. Or maybe gouache draw the same one. First, we draw simple silhouettes... then we paint each element in its main color (white, green, light brown) and paint them in one color. And then we add additional shadows to each color (with a darker shade of the same color scheme we shade the snowman’s belly near the scarf and the circle around the teddy bear’s nose). And then with white gouache and an almost dry brush we add a white coating on the face and belly of the bear and the hat and scarf of the snowman.
That is, you just need to look carefully at the sample and poke the shaded brush into the same places where shadows are applied in our New Year’s drawing. And continue until your drawing looks like the original.
And here's another simple examples New Year's drawings with a snowman. In the left photo the snowman is holding in his paws-branches Christmas garland of light bulbs. A simple silhouette - simple light blue shadows on the round snowman. And whitish strokes of white paint over the black silhouette of the hat. Everything is simple if you look closely and figure out exactly how it’s done.
And here’s another one in the right photo above - GIRL wraps a snowman in a scarf. It seems that the drawing is complicated, but in reality everything is simple. Let me describe how to make such a New Year's drawing with your own hands for a school competition. So that each of you CLEARLY AND CLEARLY REALIZES that the most complex drawings are actually created in very simple and understandable steps. As in principle, any work is done about general principle– start, continue and finish. Same with drawings. So let's see how a complex New Year's drawing plot is born from simple steps.
MASTER CLASS: How to draw a snowman.
STEP 1 - You first need to divide a sheet of paper into a white and blue background - cover it with gouache. Dry this background.
STEP 2 - use white gouache to draw the silhouette of a snowman. Dry it and add blue uneven shadows on the white sides of the snowman. They smeared the shadows as they applied them – evenness is not needed here. Dry.
STEP 3 - Use a pencil to draw a silhouette of a girl. The lines are simple. But if you doubt your abilities, then you can draw the girl’s template directly from the screen of your laptop onto a sheet of paper placed on the screen, and transfer it as a carbon copy to your canvas. If you need to enlarge on the screen girl size, you press buttonCtrl with one hand and the other hand at the same time roll the mouse wheel forward– the image on the screen will increase. The wheel back will decrease. And if, when enlarged, the image moves sideways beyond the border of the screen, then the left/right arrows on your keyboard will help you move the screen.
STEP 4 - Paint each element of the girl with its own color - carefully with a thin brush, slowly.
STEP 5 – Dry the girl’s face and then carefully draw a bang on it with an almost dry brush. Using the opposite tip of the brush handle, draw the eyes, mouth and blush of the cheeks.
STEP 6 - Then draw scarf lines around the snowman. Paint it red. Dry it and on the scarf (and on the girl’s hat too) use a thin brush with white gouache to apply a pattern of white stripes and crosses.
STEP 7 – Finish drawing small silhouettes. Nose, eyes, smile and snowman buttons. Pocket on a girl's coat. String ties on the girl's hat.
STEP 8 - Draw dark silhouettes of houses and trees in the background along the horizon line. Place blue shadows on the snow under the snowman and under the girl.
As you can see, everything is simple. If you break down all the work step by step - into simple and understandable steps. To avoid overwork, you can do the first 3 steps in one evening, and leave the remaining steps for the second evening. It’s more pleasant to work this way – without fatigue and stress.
Snowmen busy
(children's story drawings).
You can draw a whole group of cheerful New Year's snowmen riding on a swing. Or come up with your own plot. You can peek at him on canvases famous artists . And make a parody of famous work art, only the way it would look in the world of snowmen. Snowy Mona Lisa, with a mysterious smile, for example.
New Year characters
BEAR in a child's drawing.
Now let's talk about other characters Happy New Year appearance. These are, of course, polar bears. In red hats with white pompoms.
Bears can be drawn in different styles. In different cartoon genres. Here are some options for a children's drawing competition.
The leaders of drawing circles can draw such a cute New Year's teddy bear in gouache. The drawing, mind you, was taken from an ordinary table paper napkin.
And here's New Year's drawings with bears whose eyes are dreamily closed. One little bear is looking forward to opening a gift. Another polar bear listens to the singing of a bird. Cute New Year's motifs - simple subjects for children's drawings for the New Year. It can be depicted on greeting card or as a job for New Year's competition drawing at school.
Here a small master class on drawing a New Year's bear on a greeting card.
But a bear can be drawn not only in the classic red and white New Year's hat. The bear in your drawing may have a variety of New Year's paraphernalia(masquerade costumes, funny onesies in the Santa Claus style, knitted sweaters with deer, skis, skates, etc.). And you don’t have to be able to draw the whole bear - you can do something more cunning. And draw just a bear's head sticking out behind a pile of gift boxes(as in the right picture from the photo below).
PENGUIN in a New Year's drawing
for a school competition
And of course winter drawing With New Year theme- These are funny penguins. These birds are also considered northern, although they live at the south pole. But also at the South Pole snowy winters– that’s why the penguin is also a New Year’s character.
Here are options for New Year's drawings with penguins, which are also easy to depict using children's strength, with a little parental help.
You just need to take a close look and understand what steps you need to take in order to ultimately get this image(gouache, watercolor, or colored crayons). The main thing is to take your time and let one painted element dry before painting the second.
Below is a fairly simple gouache drawing made by children's hands. It only seems complicated - because there are a lot of small black details on it (black lines on the scarf, rounded curls on the fur, loops on the balls. But in fact, look carefully at each element - and you will understand how simple it is.
STEP 1 - First, paint over the background of the sheet with blue gouache - stains and stains are welcome - even if the background color is not even.
STEP 2 - The penguin itself is an ordinary oval. First it was painted with white gouache. And then they made a thick black outline around the edges (including the protrusions of the wings).
STEP 3 - Then we draw a white hat - wait until it dries - and apply stripes to it different colors one by one. Then we draw the scarf - also with white gouache - dry it, and apply stripes.
STEP 4 - Draw a New Year's tree on top with white color - dry it - and apply red oblique stripes to it.
STEP 5 - Draw the legs and beak. On the background we draw white lines of snowflakes (crosswise and diagonally, and round dots at the tips).
STEP 6 - Christmas balls - also just round spots of white gouache - and on top of the circle with colored gouache.
You can draw something like this penguin in the form of skittles- in a long New Year's cap. Also an easy-to-make penguin model.
Here are a few step-by-step master classes on New Year's drawings, where you can see how to draw a penguin yourself step by step.

The simplest images of a deer are a DEER FROM TWO PALM (left drawing in the picture below). Or deer FRONT VIEW. Everyone drew such a deer in childhood (a ball of a face, leaf-shaped ears, twig-shaped horns, and two columns of legs with hooves).
You can paint a deer in a sitting position (round tummy-pouch, two front legs hanging on the sides, and the lower legs spread slightly to the sides).
And your deer may also be funny fat man. A sort of Santa Claus-fed specimen. It’s generally easy to draw such a deer yourself - its figure resembles an upside-down coffee cup - add short legs with hooves, a red nose - dots of eyes, and cute horns. Light-colored belly (in the shape of an arch), a hat and a scarf. Everything is simple and accessible.
Your New Year's drawing does not have to contain the WHOLE BODY OF THE DEER - from the antlers to the hooves. You can limit yourself to a very schematic (triangular) image of a deer’s head - as in the left picture below.
Or draw a deer's head in a CUTTED VIEW (as if he is looking through the edge of his nose into your window) - as in the right picture below
Here master class showing how to draw a New Year's drawing with a deer yourself.
More often New Year's deer draw with Christmas tree decorations on the horns.
This technique can be performed in different stylizations of drawings. It could be children's drawing deer (as in the picture above).
Or your stag may be a graceful female doe with thick eyelashes, modestly lowered down. The Deer Lady is glamorous and majestic.
How to draw NEW YEAR
in the city, on the street.
And if you want to draw the NEW YEAR on the streets of the city, the festive atmosphere, cozy winter streets, Christmas trees in the city squares, then here is another selection of ideas for such New Year’s drawings.
Please note that all objects here are painted with paints. Then around the lines of houses it was made outline with a narrow gray frame along the contour of the paint(so that the elements of the drawing become more contrasting and the drawing acquires an overall stylization). The silhouettes of passers-by are round spots of faces, and trapezoidal silhouettes of jackets (just a spot of a jacket is applied with paint). Then, when the jacket silhouette dries, we take black felt-tip pen(or a marker) and on the spot of the coat we draw cut elements, pockets, collar, buttons, belt, cuff lines, etc.). In the same way, we highlight with a black marker subtle design elements– lines of roof tiles, window frames, etc.
If the size of the sheet of paper is not large, then it will be difficult to fit an entire street with houses. You can limit yourself to a Christmas tree in the square and draw a few children.
But great idea New Year's drawing, where children ride on the skating rink.
Here's another idea New Year's city. True, here the city is depicted not in the picture, but in the form textile applications. But the compositional idea of arranging houses and a Christmas tree in the drawing.
You can draw a city from the TOP VIEW, as if from the wing of an airplane. And then place it on the wide dome of the sky Santa Claus flying on a sleigh.
Or you can not draw a crowded and crowded city, but just draw a small forest hut and a decorated Christmas tree nearby. And the retreating Santa Claus, who has just left his gifts under the tree.
These are the ideas for New Year's drawings that I have collected for you today in one pile. I hope that your drawing for the school competition turns into a happy family get-together with brushes and paints. I wish everything to work out - in a magical New Year's way. Let the soul of the New Year touch the tip of your pencil or brush - and flow into your New Year's drawing.
Happy New Year to Your Family.
