Drawing New Year's characters with your own hands - preparation of the Snow Maiden, Father Frost and the Christmas tree
The first appearance of the Snow Maiden should be noted in1937, where the heroine first appeared in the company of Father Frost at the Moscow House of Unions holiday. A white or blue fur coat is the main design element with which the Snow Maiden character has been played out for many years. Today we will try to transfer it to paper and draw it ourselves. The first version of drawing the Snow Maiden To begin with, you need to make the shapes of an oval, eyes, nose, mouth, and then a hat. Along the way, after this, we form the character's face. Then, you need to draw the ears and after, use the design of earrings that will look like snowflakes. Then, you need to draw eyebrows for the Snow Maiden.Then, you need to draw the collar, afterthis – we draw special lines for help. They will characterize the bottom and middle of the body, as well as the side lines of the design. Then, you need to make a white border, after – form the sleeves. They should be on the same level so that you can make a straight line horizontally with a ruler. Then, you need to draw mittens. For those who do not want to draw a bag, you can use our mitten idea. To make the object more beautiful, you also need to prepare various stars on the fur coat, but this element is not mandatory. Then, we paint. Our Snow Maiden is ready! Let's proceed to the second idea The second idea of the Snow Maiden To begin with, as before, you need to draw the shape of the character. After, make the face and sleeves for the future Snow Maiden. We form a hat, and then prepare a collar. After, we make the upper part of the clothes of the future Snow Maiden. Then, you need to draw a braid, after – the lower part for the fur coat. Then, it remains only to draw earrings for the design of the Snow Maiden Grandfather Frost has come! It is worth considering the popular character of all times and peoples - Grandfather Frost. Initially, the first mentions of this fairy-tale character appeared in old Slavic stories, where this character acted as the coming frost. A small old man with a white, lush beard ran through the fields and knocked with a staff to cause frost. The first image of Grandfather Frost was formed only in the 30s of the last century, as a mandatory character for the New Year holidays after many years of prohibition. Grandfather Frost was depicted in a blue fur coat with a staff, wearing felt boots. But, over time, he began to wear a red fur coat. However, many associate this with the appearance of Santa. In order to outline Grandfather Frost, you will need to make part of the character's face. It should look like a mask for divers. After, the character's nose, eyes, the notorious cap and, of course, the mouth are formed. Then the eyebrows are drawn. After that, you need to draw the facial hair. Therefore, you need to draw a mustache and a beard. The body of Santa Claus After that, we form the body of Santa Claus. You need to indicate the parameters of the middle and length of the body, using lines for addition. After, the fur coat is drawn, which is carried out using the side lines to form a version of the white border. Then, you need to draw the details of the hands, then - mittens. You need to draw the second hand in a bent form so that it can hold the bag with treats for children. Then, you need to make a small number of lines for Santa Claus's beard, then erase everything that was in the bag. The element is colored. Then, you need to finish drawing the head and finish the hat for Santa Claus. Then, we sketch out the body so that we can later draw Santa Claus's beautiful and lush beard, add elements of a mitten, sleeves and a bag. Don't forget that the drawing needs to be supplemented with a collar under the beard, make Santa Claus's magic staff and, of course, draw the second hand, a mitten for it, then design the appearance of the belt and decorate the fur coat. After that, erase all unnecessary elements and paint over our blank! Gouache drawing of a New Year's treeAnd of course, what a drawing of Santa Claus andSnow Maidens without the main tree of the country - Christmas trees! Let's try to use gouache to depict a beautiful version of a Christmas tree, which we will draw with our own hands. We will need the following materials:
- Take a little gouache of different colors
- It will take water
- Take the brush
- Cloth for drawing
This lesson will require no more of your time,than an hour. First, we prepare the background for the future drawing by coloring the paper. Use blue gouache and prepare different shades, mixing it with white. Then, take white gouache to prepare the contours of the drawing of the future Christmas tree. Such a Christmas tree will look great on a greeting poster, or complement a postcard. Then, we form elements of white needles using gouache. If the element does not come out, paint over the flaw using the background color.Working on a snowman (gouache)Now that the New Year's Snow Maiden and Father Frost,and the Christmas tree is finished, there is the final touch that decorates any Christmas tree and makes it unforgettable.

The first thing to do isform the horizon line. Then, form the smallest circle, which will become the future head of the product. It should be at the top. Then, you need to draw the middle circle, which will be larger, and will become a continuation of the body of the future character. Then, the last lump - the largest, will be the basis of the body. Then, we proceed to drawing the headdress for our snowman. To do this, you need to draw a rectangle or square format. Moreover, in the upper part of the square, you need to separate the line using the horizon line. We outline the shape of the eyes, prepare the traditional version of the carrot as a nose.Next, we work on the mouth.Afterwards, we take and make a bucket shape from the square. To do this, it is necessary to form the separated part along the horizon using an oval. Then, we work on the limbs of our snowman. The arms and legs of our character will be small circles, in one of the hands we place a broom - an important attribute of this hero. Also, we will draw what is behind the character. Here you can show the evening background, which, by the way, perfectly matches the previous picture. Therefore, we form a crescent shape at the top of the product. Also, you can draw a small part of the house that peeks out from around the corner. We take an eraser and rub the pencil in the right places so that it does not spoil the image.Paints for work Now you need to take paintsand dilute them on the palette with water to form a blue shade. Take a brush, preferably a thicker one, and form the sky. Wait until the product dries. After the drawing dries, work with brown shades. Or your own, at your choice. Then, devote enough time to decorating the snowball. To do this, take the blue color and, using a palette with white paint, create a bluish shade of a faded color. You need to go over the future snow zones with this color. A shadow is also formed from the house and the snowman. Along the edges of the snowballs, we cast a shadow in the form of a dark shade of blue.Let's start working on the edging.This needs to be done specifically to create a bright and clear structure of the drawing. Prepare a thin brush for this work. Take brown or another color that you have chosen for brown objects. Wet the brush in water and pick up the color we need to carefully outline the bucket, and then the house. Then, take yellow paint and paint the windows until they dry. Outline them. It is also desirable to form a shadow to the bucket. Here everything depends on desire.Don't forget to outline the windows and then paint them.carrot snowman, then - we will process the broom.
