Creating a drawing by cells

It seems that such pictures are easy to create. However, this is only at first glance. In fact, a child drawing by cells, firstly, needs certain mathematical skills - after all, there are a lot of calculations to be made, and secondly, the young creator will need to show all his perseverance and patience, since he will be able to see the image from the sketch already from the first cells are unlikely to work. But anyway, this technique:

  • trains spatial orientation skills;
  • stimulates the development of imagination;
  • calms the nerves (which is why many adults prefer this particular option for expressing their creative abilities).

Many young artists like drawing on squares.

The technique of drawing in cells is accessible even to those guys who are not too comfortable with smooth lines and transitions. The main thing is to choose a convenient drawing tactic:

  • top down;
  • from right to left;
  • from the center.

The last method is suitable for creating rounded images.

And a couple more tricks for beginners:

  • It’s better to start with monochrome pictures, gradually moving to multi-colored ones;
  • It’s more convenient to create the first drawings in notebooks with large squares - this way the image will be more understandable, “readable”, already on initial stage drawings.

This is interesting. There is no information about the time of appearance of the patterns on the cells. consensus. Some suggest that we owe this technique to cross stitch patterns, others to the coordinate grid in drawing. But all opinions agree on one thing: the modern boom in drawing on cells is associated with the appearance of the first computer games and the spread of pixel art.

A beginner can color a picture with one color
Too colorful images are already possible experienced artists who knows the technique of creating an image using cells. Usually this drawing does not cause difficulties when selecting shades for coloring

How to draw a pony step by step

Today we are with you let's draw a cute pony step by step. The task, at first glance, may seem too simple, but this diagram is the basis of the process of drawing a realistic horse, only in a more complex form. You will learn to build the “skeleton” of a drawing and measure scale with lines. You will need:

- pencil (the softer the better);

- two sheets of paper (ordinary printer paper will do);

- ballpoint pen or felt-tip pen (for dark lines).

You don't need an eraser!


  1. DRAW A PONY'S TORSOM

Step 1

Take a piece of paper. Mentally imagine an oval and transfer it to the paper, without pressing too hard on the pencil. Don't draw everything with a solid line. Try drawing short dotted lines.



This will be the chest

Step 2

Divide the oval into two equal parts. If you don't know how, here's one way:

Determine the center of the oval and mark it with a dot. Then draw one point on the right and left, on the line of the oval. Connect them with a line - you have just divided the oval in half.


Step 3

Draw a circle next to the oval. Make it slightly smaller than an oval.



This will be the back of the horse

Step 4

Now connect both shapes with two curves. The horse's body is ready!



  1. DRAWING PONY LEGS

Step 1

First draw two lines to define right place for the placement of the horse's legs. The first one (here: left) should be at the front of the oval. The second should pass through the closing half of the circle.



Step 2

Mark the points where both lines intersect the torso (1) and the intended ground (2). Do you see the lines between these points? Mark the middle of each one.



Step 3

Now mark the midpoints of the resulting segments.


Step 4

These marks will help us correctly identify all the parts of each leg. We can draw lines to indicate the width of each:

  1. Base of Hoof: The longer this line, the more the pony will look like a cartoon.
  2. Top of the hoof: make it shorter than the first line.
  3. "Knee": even shorter than the second line.
  4. Elbow: make it longer than line 1.


Step 5

Now draw the lines into an oval or circle:

— Hoof and “elbow” — into an oval

- “Knee” - in a circle.


Step 6

Now we have enough lines to draw the hooves:


Step 7

To draw the lower part of the legs, connect the hooves and knee joints. If you want to make them more natural, connect them with curved lines.


Step 8

Now connect the knee and elbow bend, as well as the hoof and the back of the body.



  1. DRAW A PONY HEAD

Step 1

Start from the neck - draw one curved line.


Step 2

Draw a tangent line to the neck. This will be the base of the head.


Step 3

Write a tangent line in two circles: a larger one (head) and a smaller one (muzzle).


Step 4

Draw the eye, nose and smile.


Step 5

Connect the two circles with soft lines to complete the drawing of the head.


Step 6

Now connect the head and torso with two lines similar to the neck line.



  1. ADDING DETAILS TO OUR PONY

Step 1

To draw the ear, draw a line from the center of the head.


Step 2

Then connect it to the head - you will get a “crooked triangle”.


Step 3

Draw the mane in any style.


Step 4

To start drawing the tail, draw a circle to the back of the body.


Step 5

Draw a curved line to indicate the position of the tail.


Step 6

Draw an oval that includes the line of the tail.


Step 7

Now you can connect all the lines for the tail.


  1. COMPLETING THE FIGURE

Step 1

The base is ready! From this moment the real drawing begins. Take a ballpoint pen (or something that leaves dark lines) and trace the sketch. At this point you can mask any errors.


Step 2

Take a second sheet of paper and place it on top of the first. You will see the sketch lines underneath the top sheet. If you don't see them, hold the drawing up to the window.


Step 3

Let's get back to drawing. This time we will be working on the final version of the picture, so be careful. You can also draw with darker lines.

Trace the contour of the body.


Step 4

Define the hooves with two simple lines.


Step 5

Draw the mane and tail. If you want, you can add lines to make them fluffier.


Step 6

Outline the eye, nose and smile. Add a highlight to the eye.


Step 7

Darken the eye and nose with small circles.


Step 8

Now you can remove the bottom sheet of paper and finish the drawing. For example, you can add wool (with short strokes along the contour). You can also add another pair of legs.

Congratulations!

You did it! But this is not the end! Remember that stage when we drew the hooves, “knees” and “elbows”? This is important for the next part of the same lesson, in which we will !

The lesson is translated from the site design.tutsplus.com.

The world-famous animated series My Little Pony has acquired an army of fans among both children and adults around the world. The cartoon tells us about the life of little ponies in the wonderful country of Equestria. Incredibly cute and mischievous horses set an example of true friendship, kindness, miracles and magic.

It is very important to know the characteristics of each character: look carefully at the horses, trying to catch characteristic features, this will greatly facilitate the drawing process.

Cheerful ponies do not tolerate boredom and pale colors, so stock up on bright pencils and a good mood.

What you need for drawing

Have pencils and a good eraser ready, as you may need to erase and adjust lines frequently. Stock up on several sheets of paper; be sure to use one sheet as a rough draft, on which you will test the thickness of the lines and check the sharpness of the “tools.”

Choose a pencil with which you will draw the outline of the horse; it should not be too bright and must be erased well with an eraser. Be prepared to adjust the sketch frequently, so the eraser should erase well and not leave marks.

Rainbow ponies can be colored with colored pencils, wax crayons and felt-tip pens. Or maybe you would like to paint funny horses with bright colors? watercolor paints or gouache.

Drawing Instructions

The very first and important point- this is drawing in a well-lit place, take your time and enjoy the process. Before you start using bright colors, draw a sketch of the future drawing with a simple pencil. Now let's move on directly to the general algorithm and each character.

  2. If you carefully examine the pony, you will notice that the horse almost entirely consists of several ovals. In order to get the pony's head, you need to draw one oval at the top of the sheet, leaving room for the subsequent voluminous mane.
  3. The pony's eyes are also ovals, and the hips are the same geometric shapes, but located vertically.
  4. A little lower, horizontally, place another larger oval, this will be the body of the horse. The smooth connection of these two ovals forms the pony's neck. There is no need to draw the ovals too far apart from each other, so as not to disturb the anatomy with an overly long neck.
  5. Then we will form the muzzle. All ponies have a small nose and bright, expressive oval eyes that occupy about half of the muzzle. Draw the pointed tips of the ears.

The front hooves of all ponies are located clearly under the muzzle; be sure to take this fact into account when drawing a character.

Drawing the Rainbow pony is quite simple if you already know how to draw the horse from the above description.

Pony Rainbow is distinguished from other characters by her voluminous rainbow mane, the same rainbow tail and wings. The Rainbow itself is colored sky blue.

Rainbow's bangs are not as neat as those of the other characters. A slightly disheveled hairstyle well shows the character of an active and restless horse. Color your eyes purple.

This horse is a unicorn, so when drawing the oval head, immediately determine the location of the future horn.

Rarity has a curly mane, and the character also has a special mark on her thigh - 3 blue crystals, because she has the ability to find these stones.

Rarity is colored white, and her mane is bright purple. The pony's eyes are blue with very expressive and long eyelashes.

Pony Sparkle, like Rarity, is a unicorn, but Princess Sparkle's bangs are straight, her tail ends in a neat horizontal line, as if the horse had just been taken to the hairdresser.

Twilight herself is a soft purple color, and her dark blue mane and tail have distinct pink and purple stripes.

The final stage of drawing: on Sparkle’s hip, draw 4 small stars and one large one.

When drawing Flattershy, pay attention to the fact that this horse has wings and a very voluminous mane and tail. Therefore, when drawing the mane, allow enough space for the wing and other attributes.

Color Flattershy herself yellow, and her mane and tail pale pink. Draw 3 small butterflies on the horse’s hip. Notice that this one has eyes magical character green.

Draw a pony blank using the algorithms described above. Pinkie Pie is characterized by a bright pink curly mane, large Blue eyes, and on the thigh draw 3 balloon– a distinctive sign of this cheerful and bright cartoon character.

Pony Apple Jack

Draw a sketch of the pony as described in the general algorithm. The Apple Jack pony wears a brown cowboy hat, and the horse's mane and tail are tied at the ends with an elastic band.

Color the Apple Jack orange, on the thigh draw 3 small neat apples. Shade the eyes green and the mane yellow.
