Drawing on the theme of a sports holiday in pencil. Winter and summer sports (pictures for children)

How to draw an athlete will be discussed in this article. Here they will be given step by step instructions with detailed explanations.

Basics for the beginning artist

Today there are cameras and video cameras. But nevertheless, the art of drawing still lives and flourishes. And although it is believed that in order to draw well, you need to have a talent from God, practice proves that skills artistic image the surrounding world should be learned in the same way as knitting, reading, singing, physical culture. And, of course, it is very important to constantly train, watch the work of experienced masters and draw conclusions. It is also important to read the relevant literature and know the basics of artistic depiction of a wide variety of objects.

The basis of auxiliary constructions when depicting the human figure

Not everyone knows how to draw an athlete with a pencil step by step. Therefore, in order for a person to be proportional, before starting to draw, you should make additional constructions - sketch out the “skeleton” of the image using hair lines. Since drawing an athlete is, first of all, depicting a person in motion, the basic rules of proportion human body must be strictly observed.

Proportions of the human figure

1. The distance between the fingertips of the arms extended to the sides is equal to the height.
2. The hip point - where the legs begin - bisects the main auxiliary line.
3. The point dividing the bottom half of the auxiliary line in half marks the knee.
4. By dividing the top half of the guide line in half, you can find the location of the nipples.
5. Upper quarter line (from nipples to end point), divided in half, will help you find the eighth part - it will be occupied by the head in the picture.
6. Forearm slightly shorter than ulna
7. The width of a man's hips is equal to the width of his chest.

How to draw an athlete step by step

Master class: “Drawing a skier”

Since it is possible to draw an athlete on skis without additional construction, in a simplified manner, we will consider this option.

1. First we draw the athlete's head.
2. Now we depict arms bent at the elbows at right angles.
3. It should be remembered that the elbows are located at waist level, and, observing these proportions, complete the drawing of the upper part of the body.
4. The legs should be drawn in such a length that the point at which they connect divides the figure in half.
5. Now you can finish drawing the skis and poles for the skier.

This is the simplest version of depicting a person in motion. Therefore, it will most likely be the solution to the problem of how to draw an athlete for a child.

Preliminary work before the image of a skier sliding down the mountain

This task will be more difficult than the previous one, when the artist was faced with the task of drawing a simple person skiing. Since you need to draw an athlete covering a descent at speed in a certain pose, at an angle, it would first be a good idea to carefully look at photographs of skiers in motion.

It should be noted that during a mountain descent, a person’s figure tilts almost 45 degrees to the horizon. Also pay attention to the bent legs and arms - the body seems to be concentrating, leaning sideways and forward.

Additional constructions for the image of a skier sliding down the mountain

1. Having found out the main points in the image of the skier during the descent, you should make auxiliary constructions, that is, construct the angle of inclination of the athlete’s figure. The lower beam should not be horizontal, but correspond to the slope of the surface - the descent. The tilt ray of the figure will be approximately 45 degrees. But here the following fact should be taken into account: the steeper the descent and the higher the speed of the athlete’s movement, the more people tilts and, therefore, the smaller (sharper) the angle.
2. When depicting the body of a skier, one should respect the proportions of the human body, since the athlete must be drawn in accordance with generally accepted standards. Therefore, the location of the hip joint (in the figure, this place is the point from which the legs diverge) should divide full height a person in half.
3. The elbow bend of the arm falls on the athlete’s waist, which is slightly above the hip joint.
4. The knee point divides the line of the leg from the point of the hip joint to the ankle of the foot approximately in half.

Master class image of a skier during the descent

1. After the necessary auxiliary constructions, you should draw the skier's head.
2. The next step is to draw the skier's upper body down to the waist. Here it should be borne in mind that the chest should be wider than the head.
3. The arms are drawn bent, because the athlete is in motion. The bend angle of the left hand and the right hand can be different.
4. The lines of the skier's legs during the descent cannot be parallel. One leg can be only slightly bent, and the second is located almost at a right angle to it.
5. Skis should be drawn parallel. The sticks can be either parallel or at an angle to each other.

Image of a ski jumper

Before drawing, it is recommended to consider the athlete's pose. When jumping from a springboard, the skier concentrates, squats, tilting the upper body forward. The line of the figure takes on the shape of a zigzag. The legs in this position are usually parallel to each other, and so are the skis. Sticks are drawn horizontally.

1. The athlete's head is depicted in a round shape; a mask is drawn over the eyes.
2. The arm is extended towards the viewer, so its length is shortened - this is according to the rules of projection. The stick should be positioned at a very slight angle to the skis; you can even draw it parallel to the skis.
3. The back line runs at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal. Of course, the back itself should be drawn rounded, and not completely straight. The line with the line of the back makes an angle of approximately 60 degrees. The leg is drawn at the same angle after the knee bend.
4. Since the artist depicts the skier as if from below, the ski should not be drawn exactly horizontally, but with a slope of approximately 30 degrees.
5. The second ski is depicted parallel to the first.
6. If the artist decides to make a drawing in color, then you can make a highlight on the glasses with a stripe.

To become a real artist, you need not only to have natural abilities, but also to study a lot of drawing theory. In order to depict an athlete, the draftsman should study the structure and proportions of the human body. Studying the works of masters can help in acquiring drawing skills. And the most important condition: practical lessons For an artist, daily training is just as important as for an athlete.

At the request of our reader, I prepared a lesson on how to draw an athlete with a pencil. This time I took Vladimir Klitschko as a test subject. Although in Lately he already more policies than an athlete. But he definitely was before and deserved the title of champion.

In general, sport is a type of human activity that does not require much mental effort. More physical and mental. The sport brings great pleasure to both the participants and the spectators. It is especially useful for us artists. Using their example, you can easily study the anatomy of the human body and train. This is what we will do.

How to draw an athlete with a pencil step by step

Step one. I'm sketching a human body. All main parts can be seen in the figure below:

Step two. I begin to draw the face. Eye level is approximately in the middle of the head. The distance from the chin to the nose should be equal to the distance from the nose and eyebrows.

Step three. I begin to draw in detail the entire head and take up the body.

Step four. Pay attention to your emotions. The shadow around the eyes and the folds in the skin between the lips and nose should be visible. I'll add shadows all over the body.

I've also done drawing lessons for other sports, check here.

Let’s start the promised series of articles on the topics “Drawing Athletes” or “Winter Sports” with biathlon. We will consider classic winter biathlon, biathlon in ski racing and shooting.

A person can shoot from various positions - lying down or standing. Since our goal is to draw a spectacular and understandable picture, we will not depict the “prone shooting” option - this is work for high school students. All that remains is shooting while standing.

Biathlete shoots

Let's analyze this picture. Firstly, the pose. In fact, a skier uses poles while moving; they must lie on the snow while shooting.

The shooter's legs are spread out for balance and support. The left one is set forward, and the right one, the supporting one, is set back.

We understood this, now the torso: in a standing position, also, of course, for balance, the back is thrown back, the shoulders are hunched. The head is tilted, the neck is stretched forward - the shooter is looking into the sight, right cheek pressing against the butt of the rifle (biathletes use rifles of a special system). Now look at your hands: they are both bent, but in different ways. With his left hand, the biathlete supports a large and heavy weapon, and with his right hand he presses the trigger. The brushes are located approximately at the same level, but left hand more extended forward, and the right one more bent. This is what it looks like in general outline. So, a man stands with his legs apart and at shoulder level holds in his bent arms a horizontally located large and long rifle, which he presses to his right cheek.

Do not confuse anything - for clarity, we have highlighted the rifle in red. This is how our first drawing turned out - a biathlete shoots.

But biathlon is a double event and it’s time to participate in cross-country skiing.

Drawing of a biathlete running on skis

A separate large article will be devoted to skiers, but now let’s take a moment and draw a man with a gun running quickly on skates on skis.

The runner's supporting leg is bent, the other is sharply straightened and moved to the side, the skis are positioned at an angle. In the perspective, one of the skis is greatly reduced. The body is tilted.

It is usually difficult for children to understand how to draw a slope; it is worth paying special attention to the fact that the skier runs crouched down and, moreover, cannot quickly run straight up to his full height and accept air resistance with his chest.

The head is also tilted. Hands with sticks are pulled back, the sticks are raised vertically at the depicted moment. That is, the skier steps with his feet alternately, and acts synchronously with his hands.

A rifle with a scope is visible from behind. We won’t talk too much about the equipment - the biathlete wears a tight suit and a cap. The eyes are protected by glasses.

It is better to direct children to drawing in stages:

• figure diagram - pencil
• checking balance and proportions,
• Let's draw the muscles - there is a sketch of the figure
• Let's draw the most important accessories
• draw the setting (landscape)
• and further - color scheme without getting carried away with decoration and minor details.

Handykids wish your biathletes success and victories.

Hi all! Today's lesson step by step drawing We again decided to dedicate it to the fair sex. The topic of our today's educational article is how to draw athletic girl pencil. Note that we will draw in a slightly simplified, even cartoonish style, compared to our previous lesson on drawing a girl.

There is a significant gender bias on our site towards men - indeed, we have , , and many others. But there are not so many girls - let's correct this in a lesson dedicated to how to draw a girl step by step!

Step 1

Let's draw a stickman - a man made of sticks and circles, which we draw to indicate the main proportions of the character, pose and position on a sheet of paper. This is the very first stage, but here it is necessary to take into account the features female proportions, let's try to remember them:

• Height. Naturally, each person is unique and there cannot be universal parameters, however, in classical drawing textbooks, the female figure depicted next to is always 0.5-1 lower than the length of the head.
• Fragility of the figure. This concept is not as abstract as it might seem at first glance. The width of the shoulders affects this parameter primarily - in women, the shoulders are equal to the sum of 2-2.3 head widths, in men, the shoulders are 3 head widths. Another parameter is the width of the limbs. A woman’s arms and legs are much thinner than a man’s, and this applies to both the thickness of the bone (especially noticeable on the wrists and ankles) and the muscles of the arms and legs - biceps, forearms, and calf muscles. In men in general, all these muscles are more visible and pronounced.
• Pelvis width. A woman’s pelvis is much wider than a man’s, and accordingly, the hips are also larger.
• The ratio of the shoulders and pelvis. A man's shoulders are much wider than his pelvis, while a woman's shoulders and pelvis are approximately the same width.

By the way, let us note the current rule of proportions regarding height - for both men and women, height, on average, is equal to the sum of the lengths of seven heads. And, since we noted at the beginning of this step that women are generally shorter, we can conclude that women's heads are somewhat smaller compared to men's. In general, to complete the description of the features, we suggest that you simply look at the male figure (using the example) and figures, noting all the features of the latter that we have listed.

Step 2

Let's add volume to the stickman, but first we'll mark the girl's head. The vertical line of facial symmetry should be very much shifted to the right of us, since the girl’s head is turned around. The eye line that intersects it should be slightly curved in order to convey a slight downward tilt of the head. Just above the back of the head we will outline a ball, which will later become a bun of hair.

Draw a thin, graceful neck and connect it with thin shoulders. Use long, elongated thin cylinders to outline the shoulders and forearms, outline the hands with light lines, and do not forget about the silhouette of a rolled up rug.

Outline the body - it should look like hourglass, tapering at the waist. Designate the groin area with a triangle, and the hips with cylinders, tapering towards the knee. The shins should taper even more, the ankles should look thin and graceful. In general, all the lines that are used in drawing such female figure, should be graceful and smooth.

Step 3

Using the previously applied markings of the face, we outline the eyebrows, the upper contour of the eyes, turned up, the ear and mouth. At this stage, everything is indicated by simple strokes, which we will detail in the following stages. Let's draw a dark section of the hair tie and a coquettishly hanging curl.

Step 4

Let's continue detailing the face. Draw the hair in the direction from roots to ends. Let's complete the contour of the eye, draw three lines of eyelashes curving upward, and draw the same lines in the area of ​​the eye, which we cannot see due to the turn of the girl's head. Here we will divide the mouth into a pair of plump lips, and the lower one should be thicker. Let's also outline the nostril and the contour of the nose.

Let's go a little lower and draw horizontal lines of the collarbone, above which we will place the vertical line of the neck muscle. Then the torso. Let's outline the rounded contours of the chest and several folds of fabric between them. By the way, let’s not forget about the straps of the top, as well as the folds of fabric at the bottom edge of this piece of clothing.

Step 5

Now let's erase the extra strokes from the hands and outline their contours. Please note that the shoulder of our left hand is slightly thinner than the forearm. Here we will outline the outline of a rolled fitness mat.

Step 6

With the legs, everything is quite simple - we’ll outline their contours with clear, noticeable lines and erase the extra guiding strokes from the previous stages.

Now the Olympics are taking place in Sochi and, of course, we cannot ignore this event. Firstly, we root for our athletes with all our hearts and want the Olympics to strengthen friendly relations with other countries.

Skater

But there is another aspect: children are not left out either; various drawing competitions on the theme “Sports” and “Olympics” have been announced.

One can, of course, say that in such competitions it is not victory that is important, but even for simple participation, the drawings must be made at a fairly high level.

This is where it turns out that students have a very vague idea of ​​what exactly athletes who do sports look like. various types sports In addition to the need to depict a human figure in compliance with proportions, you will need the ability to convey movement, take into account balance and, often, you will have to create multi-figure compositions.

Ski jumping

All this is very difficult for adult artists, but we need to teach children all this. It will not be possible to teach everything at once and at once, but the emotional uplift associated with the Olympics should be used to begin systematic work on the topic “human figure in motion.” We will be writing articles explaining how to draw athletes competing in winter sports.

In the meantime, we want to discuss some nuances. If we depict the Olympics, then, accordingly, first of all we depict the athletes.

Athletes are people, and they are remarkably beautiful and proportionally built. And we, art teachers, need to honestly approach the depiction of their figures, that is, we must not allow students to limit themselves to standard schematic constructions of sticks and a circle or to draw the classic “sticks-rake-cucumber”. Such a course of events should be excluded. You just need to IMMEDIATELY explain the correct structure of the human figure. Show several options for the athlete’s poses and at the same time focus children’s attention on how a correctly drawn person should look.

First: the arms and legs are long, the shoulders are wide, there is a neck, the body is also long and large, but the head is SMALL and, usually, not spherical, but elongated. Almost always, children tend to focus on the image very big head. You can consider this age-related feature, then it’s better to just wait until the child is old enough and then teach him to draw so that he can immediately grasp the proportional structure. If you don’t have time to wait, then...then you should persistently introduce an understanding of the correct proportions ANYWAY.

Second: the arms and legs bend in certain places - in the joints (and not in an arc), and according to certain laws, the torso, bending, bends in a certain place, the head can only turn in a certain way. All this should be taken into account and not forgotten, especially when we're talking about about the portrayal of athletes.

The skier will most likely look forward and not turn his head so that the viewer sees his face strictly from the front and hence the third, namely: people, and in particular athletes, constantly take some poses, and these are exactly those poses , which are appropriate in this situation.

The skier takes exactly those poses that are appropriate when running on the ski track. And here’s, perhaps, the last thing for today: sport is inherently dynamic, and within the framework of one sport a person takes different poses. And the more different transitional stages of movement we depict CORRECTLY, the greater our knowledge base about the structure and movement of a person will be. Quantity, comrades, sooner or later turns into quality, and our students will be able to draw truly well-developed people who have perfect control of their bodies.

This is an introductory motivational article. Next we are planning a series: “Drawing skiers (biathletes)”, “Skating”, “Hockey” and others winter views sports These are only the most immediate plans, and there will be more to come. Here, for advertising purposes, we have placed several pictures from future articles, in which we will analyze everything step by step.
