In this lesson we will learn draw Shrek. But first, let's remember that Shrek is a troll who lives in a swamp. He has a large body and very large facial features, larger than ordinary person. Short legs and Shrek's "chubby" belly, as well as too long arms greatly distort the proportions of a person, which must be taken into account in the drawing. Shrek's face is quite good-natured and it is advisable to reflect this in the drawing. And, of course, unusual ears in the form of tubes, from which, no matter how you draw Shrek, it will be clear that this is Shrek.
1. Draw the outline of Shrek's head
Let's start drawing Shrek from the head. For very young children, you can divide the sheet into 6 squares using barely noticeable pencil lines. Now let's draw a rough outline of the head and mark with a pencil where the eyes, nose and mouth and ears will be. If you haven't made a marking, be sure to leave more space on the piece of paper, below the outline of the head, for other parts of the body.
2. How to draw Shrek's face
Since the face of Shrek, and indeed any person, attracts the most attention in the drawing, let's first finish drawing the contours of the head and face with a simple pencil. Draw more precise lines along the preliminary contours. To do this, draw a smiling mouth and round the chin. Draw a more precise shape of the nose and ears in the form of tubes. Add eyes and eyebrows. Check all the proportions again, and let's move on to the next step. Shrek drawing.
3. Preliminary contours of the torso
At this stage we will draw the body, the head has already been drawn. First, let's draw the contours of the shoulders, and if you can call it that, Shrek's waist, covered with an untucked shirt. Since Shrek always wears a vest, then top part Let's draw the body like this - in the form of a vest with a shirt sticking out of it.
4. “Tie a rope around” the stomach
Using the previous outline of the design as a guide, add more detail to the shirt and vest. And “tie” Shrek’s waist with a rope.
5. How to draw Shrek's legs
Now we need to draw the legs, although only preliminary outlines for now. The lines do not have to be round and smooth, since this is not the final version of our drawing. The main thing is to keep the proportions and don’t forget that Shrek’s legs are short.
6. Continue drawing the legs
If necessary, correct the preliminary contours of Shrek's legs and let's finish this stage of the drawing. Shrek doesn’t have shoes as such, so we’ll just draw a line for the bottom of his trousers, and for the “shoes” we’ll just “soften” the preliminary lines and round off the “noses”. Extra lines Remove the pencil from a simple pencil with an eraser, blowing away the crumbs, but do not brush it away with your hand.
7. How to draw Shrek's hands
Well, we are almost approaching the final stage and are starting to draw the final “touches”. In this step, we will define the shapes of Shrek's arms and hands. We will make the brushes in the form of polygons, so as not to be too difficult.
8. Finish drawing the hands
In this drawing, Shrek's hands are in the foreground and are threateningly reaching towards the viewer. Try to draw them as accurately as possible. Please note that the palms will be facing back side towards us and the fingers are slightly bent. It is necessary to draw Shrek with bent fingers differently in order to emphasize the menacing appearance.
9. The final stage of the drawing
The final stage is always the most enjoyable. All the shapes are drawn, the proportions are maintained and all that remains is to add a few details and, of course, color the drawing. Shrek is a cartoon character and his drawing with a simple pencil will not be so impressive if it is not colored with paints or colored pencils. If you can draw his friend Donkey next to Shrek, then your picture will be a real scene from a cartoon.
The donkey from the cartoon about Shrek is a little different than in my drawing. But, if you like Shrek's friend, then you can use this lesson to draw him. It is enough just to change the “face”, make it a little more expressive and emotional.
Add Shrek to your collection of cartoon pictures and draw SpongeBob or spongebob, as you like.
U cartoon character Patrick has a rather funny awkward body. The small shorts add to his appearance as a fun and happy-go-lucky character. Distinctive feature Patrick's "face" is the absence of a nose and ears, which makes him easier to draw. If you have drawn Shrek before, then this drawing will be quite easy for you.
Want to cheer yourself up? Then take a pencil and a piece of paper and after drawing Shrek, try to draw, step by step, with me the funny little bear Winnie the Pooh, a cartoon character from the American film studio Disney.
If you succeed in drawing Shrek, try drawing something in anime style. Anime also includes the genre of hand-drawn cartoons, for example, the well-known cartoon about Pokemon. Drawing cartoon characters about Pokemon is very exciting, because the picture turns out to be contrasting, even if you draw with a pencil.
Now we will find out how to draw Shrek and his companions with a pencil.
I can't help but tell you a little about this cartoon. Here are some interesting things I learned while preparing this lesson for you:
- Shrek is an animation of a book by William Steig. And the book is called exactly that: Shrek!
- What’s interesting is that the author first drew his hero, and only then wrote stories about him. By the way, the book character is somewhat different from the fat belly we know.
- The cartoon was appreciated not only by amateurs, but also by professionals. Shrek won an Oscar. By the way, first. Since before 2001 there was simply no such award for feature-length cartoons.
- The prototype of Princess Fiona is Cameron Diaz herself. Cool, damn it.
- Of course, the witty donkey amazes everyone’s imagination. His dad is comedian Eddie Murphy. Are they somewhat similar, do you think?
- Shrek is loved in many countries. It has been translated into a bunch of languages: 30 at least. And in each country, voice actors were carefully selected.
- In the Russian version, Myers was replaced by our Alexey Kolgan. I must admit that he successfully fit into the role.
- The whole story is somewhat reminiscent famous characters Beauty and the Beast. Everything is just turned inside out. And Shrek did not turn into a prince at the end of the fairy tale. But the princess easily becomes a monster.
Now let's try to draw Shrek and company. Let's see what we can do.
How to draw Shrek with a pencil step by step
Step one
First, let's outline the position of all the heroes on our sheet. These are three large figures in the center and one smaller one.
Step two
Now in each outlined contour we need to place the body parts of our heroes. Let's start with Shrek: head, stomach, legs, shoulders. Let's do the same with the rest of the figures. We also remember about the smallest hero.
Step three
Now all the angular details should turn into smooth ones. We now have heads and body outlines. Probably the most difficult thing here is to draw the donkey’s face. But I'm sure you can handle it.
Step four
Let's start drawing faces. For this you can remember a separate lesson. We will need to draw all the auxiliary lines on the face: the levels of the eyes, nose, mouth and the central vertical line. It's a little different for the long-eared one. Let's complement our drawing with clothing details.
Step five
Now we will draw the faces: eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows. We'll show the donkey's wonderful bangs and teeth, Shrek's unique ears, and the cat's long mustache. Let's shade the vest and shoes of the main character. Let's add folds to the cat boots. Let's finish drawing the princess. Well, the drawing is ready! It seems to me...
If you are interested in the topic of cartoons, check out these lessons.
In boots, I propose to familiarize yourself with some facts from the life of these animals. For example, for killing a cat in Ancient Egypt the punishment was death. A cat's heart beats twice as fast as a human's heart. A cat spends 65% of its life sleeping.
To begin with, I offer you an option - this is the simplest cat. The drawn cartoon humanizes animals and changes them appearance. But still, the cat’s long thin tail (1), small ears (2), pinkish nose (3) and four very flexible legs (4), (5) remain unchanged. Their color can be very diverse: from black and white to blue color, and in cartoons there are even more options.
First draw a high trapezoid like in the picture. Next, draw a horizontal line in the middle of the trapezoid and draw two round eyes directly above it. Draw two oblique lines from the corners of the trapezoid into it and connect them with an arc. This way you will indicate your cat's head and ears. Draw two small semicircles above the bottom line in the center. On the side of each of them there is another semicircle larger size. These are your cat's paws. Finish the drawing by erasing all unnecessary lines.
Another example of an easy-to-draw cartoon animal is Simon the cat. I will not talk about how to draw Simon the cat, since there are episodes of the cartoon dedicated to drawing all the heroes of this project. But I’ll tell you how to draw Puss in Boots. This will be the cat from the cartoon "Shrek". Creating a drawing is divided into several stages. Here is the easiest way to draw Puss in Boots.
Step 1. First draw a circle for the head. Then the body, shaped more like a hot dog. Without pressing on the pencil, draw auxiliary lines on the cat's face. Place them in the same way as in the picture.
Step 4. Draw a hat with large brims and a fluffy feather. This is an integral part of the image of our Puss in Boots.
Hello! Now I will teach you how to draw another character from the animated cartoon "Shrek".
Name - Dragon
Eye color - Yellow
Hair color - No
height - unknown
weight - unknown, but a lot
The Dragoness from Shrek - Placed to guard Princess Fiona in a captive castle, the Dragoness lived a lonely life. It was before she met the racing Donkey and the unlikely couple fell in love. The dragoness can be fiery, and maybe also kind-hearted. Soon this pair of lovebirds heard the fluttering of their baby drones. In the first film, she ate Lord Farquaad. In the rest it did not play a significant role.
The creators clearly put a lot of effort into creating this dragon, or rather the dragoness. The dragon, of course, turned out just great. Even her lips are smeared with lipstick. By the way, this dragon, according to the creators, is 400 feet in length, which is not small. Like a real dragon, she breathes fire and turns out to be very fond of donkeys.
Step 1. Let's start by drawing the shape for the head and then add guide lines for the face. Next we will draw the neck and big circle for the stomach. Finally, add the lines of the limbs and tail.
Step 2. Now is the time to outline the shape of the head, long muzzle and beautiful, unusual shape ears. After this we will add three spikes as shown in the picture.
Step 3. At the third stage we will finish drawing the Dragon's face. First of all, we'll draw the chin line on the left and add three more large spikes. Then we outline beautiful eyes and voluminous eyelashes. Next, we’ll shape the lower and upper lips, add a few teeth, and as a result we should end up with a cute, slightly open mouth with plump lips.
Step 4. It's time to focus on your upper body. First we will draw the huge, wide-open wings, and then the massive neck. After that, let's move on to the next step.
Step 5. This stage is quite simple. You need to draw graceful “hands”. In principle, they are already ready (the base drawn in the first stage), so all that remains is to make them a little rounder and finish drawing the claws.
Step 6. Now let’s draw the lower limbs and part of the tail. After this, shade the areas shown in the figure.
Step 7 This last stage. All that remains is to finish drawing the tail, apply shading and add spikes along the tail. Once this is finished, follow the guide lines drawn in the first step.
Step 8 Now you have a completed drawing of the Dragon from the cartoon "Shrek". I strongly recommend not to stop there, but to pick up paints and pencils and thoroughly decorate your “brainchild”. It's time for me to wrap up! See you soon! ^_^
