Instructions
To do this, take a small sheet of paper. A5 format is quite suitable. You can draw a spruce branch on a landscape sheet, it all depends on what kind of composition you are going to create. The sheet can be placed in any way you like. If you want to write some text on it later, be sure to leave some space for it. If desired, the sheet can be tinted. New Year's also looks good on a black or dark blue background. In this case, it is better to make a sketch not simple, but white or pale green.
Consider a spruce branch. Small branches are located at an acute angle to the main one. Closer to the edge they become thinner and shorter. If you mentally draw the central lines of each branch, it turns out that they intersect somewhere near the trunk, and diverge towards the outer part of the crown.
Draw an arbitrary rather long line. This will be the main branch. It’s very good if it turns out a little uneven; living trees don’t have absolutely straight lines. Make a sketch with a thin pencil. Draw 2-3 shorter ones from the main line and diverging towards the ends.
Draw short sharp needles. If you have colored pencils on hand, draw the first line from the end of the main line so that the needle is at an acute angle. Like the lines of small branches, the needles spread out to the edges. It is better to draw them without lifting your hand, with narrow, long teeth. Having drawn the first line, immediately begin the next one in the opposite direction. A little short of reaching the branch, start the second needle. Try drawing zigzags with quick movements. Having finished the main branch, cover the smaller ones with needles. The strokes can be made shorter. After all the needles are ready, draw the branches with a brown pencil.
If you are painting with paints, paint over the brown branches first and let them dry. Start drawing needles in the same way, from that part of the main branch that is closer to the trunk. Draw each needle separately. Move your hand with the brush in the direction from the main branch so that the lines diverge at the end. Lead the second needle and the rest from the main branch.
To decorate the cake, mix some frosting with food coloring. Draw the lines with a thin stick. First fill a paper bag or culinary syringe with brown cream and draw lines. They will turn out a little convex. Use green cream to paint the needles in the same way as you did with paint, that is, each one separately.
Drawing lesson on the theme of winter and New Year. In this lesson I will tell and show how to draw a spruce branch in the snow with a New Year's toy in pencil step by step. The lesson is very easy, you should not have any difficulties. You can also do it in color, only if you draw with felt-tip pens or paints, you will have to leave space for the snow in advance, it is better to sketch out the drawing with a pencil with very, very light lines, for example, only where there will be snow and where the base of the Christmas tree is, and then decorate in color. In this matter, everyone has their own approach.
Let's begin. We draw the base of the spruce branch, i.e. this branch will consist of the main one and additional ones emanate from it. Then we begin to draw the needles in separate lines, first drawing on one side.
Then we draw on the other side of the branch. Look at the direction of the needles, they are located at a certain angle to the branch, and if the spruce branch also has a slope itself, then the direction of the needles will also therefore be different, not the same as, for example, that of the main branch. Then, to make the branch look more realistic, we draw additional lines, giving it fluffiness.
Now, in places where there is snow, we will go over the top of the spruce with an eraser. The location and quantity of snow can be any, and the height of the snow layer can also be any. Now trace the outline of the snow on the branch. That's the whole secret of drawing snow on a spruce branch.
And to make our New Year’s drawing, you need to draw, maybe not just one, but several and of different shapes. Our snow is rough, so very, very faintly put small lines and shade the edges of the snow barely noticeably. The drawing of a spruce branch with New Year's toys is ready. It was also possible to make it so that there was snow on the ball, it just occurred to me, it’s a pity it’s too late. If you want the same principle, you can do it.

Master Class
“Draw a spruce branch with a simple pencil”
Teacher: Smalchenko Antonina Aleksandrovna
2014
The drawing master class is intended for school age students . The drawing can be used to decorate the interior or as a gift.
Target:
drawing a spruce branch with a simple pencil.
Tasks:
-teach how to draw a spruce branch step by step with a simple pencil;
-develop creative abilities;
- cultivate accuracy in work.
Preparing to draw:
The right choice in this case is very important, the quality of the drawings depends on it.
In order to start drawing, we will need:
pencils B, 2B, 4B and 6B, one hard pencil H or 2H.
A4 paper - should be thick enough so as not to wrinkle during the process
eraser.
Class time : 15-25 min.
A drawing is an image made by hand by the artist using such graphic means as line, contour, stroke, dot, spot, as well as various combinations of them.
PENCIL. (Turkic kara - black, tas or das - stone) - a tool and material for drawing. It has the form of a rod made of pressed coal, lead, graphite, dry paint, enclosed for convenience in a wooden or metal frame.
Nothing is associated more with the New Year than a Christmas tree. Many people from all over our planet really like to decorate it with toys, tinsel, rain, various garlands, etc.
And who doesn’t want to have a drawing of a forest tree on their desk?
So let's not waste time, but let's see how to draw a spruce branch with a pencil:
Drawing a branch is divided into five stages:
1)
STAGE ONE
: compositional placement in foliage.
2) STAGE TWO : construction of the general form of nature
3)
STAGE THREE
: linear drawing, clarification of contours. We begin to draw needles
4)
STAGE FOUR
5) STAGE FIFTH : Drawing details.
Generalization of the drawing. Shadow elaboration
Application.
1.
Today's lesson is dedicated to the brightest and most colorful holiday - the New Year. As soon as you imagine it, you immediately feel the smell of spruce paws or the crunch of snowdrifts.
Today we will try to draw a spruce paw with a magic toy and a forest beauty in golden decoration in 20 minutes.
To work you will need:
A sheet of A4 paper (better for watercolors, but absolutely any kind is fine);
paints (watercolor, gouache) – colors will be needed mainly green, blue, ocher, burgundy and white;
brushes (columns: the largest No. 8 and one medium No. 3-5);
a jar of water (you can stock up on two jars or change the water more often);
cloth
As always, lightly soak the watercolor paints - one drop is enough. We take a large brush in our hands, dip it in water, and then use green paint in natural tones (grass, light green) to paint a “bird’s paw” like this.
Now let's take another shade. For me it’s blue (cobalt, azure), but you can use ocher or even soft orange, pink (an alternative is highly diluted red). It is not recommended to use a lot of water. Otherwise, you need to thoroughly dry the resulting result before painting further. Duplicate the “bird’s paw” pattern with this color.
Next, take a dry thick brush vertically in your hand and slightly fluff it with your fingers. Then, barely touching the fluffy tip of the brush to the water, lightly lower it into the paint. The paint color should be in contrast to what we have used so far. For example, if the background is blue, the paint should be green or burgundy. This effect is called "dry brush". This stage of work requires a lot of patience and effort.
Holding the brush almost vertically, with light movements apply several strokes of different colors (blue, green, ocher), imitating Christmas tree needles.
If it seems to you that the paw is a little runny, add strokes of the main color, for example green or blue, using the same dry brush method. However, it is quite possible that it will be burgundy and purple, or orange and red.
For artists under 5 years old, we suggest using a different technique for applying strokes. On brush No. 2, 3, 4, select the above-mentioned contrasting colors and draw a fence. It doesn’t matter if it’s crooked, the main thing is that the sticks go the way the needles on the Christmas tree grow. While walking in the park, carefully study with your child the structure of needles on a branch, the distinctive features of coniferous trees, etc.
Using different colors, we increase the density of the needles.
This is how our fluffy spruce paw came out. It turned out very artistic. However, it's time to decorate it for the New Year.
In the free space under the fir branch, draw a figure in the shape of a circle, diamond or oval - depending on the New Year's ball with which you plan to decorate the branch. To make it as symmetrical and even as possible, kids will need the help of adults.
The pattern on the New Year's decoration is drawn last, when the background has dried. Then it will not spread and will retain its pristine beauty. By the way, the imitation of scales on a fish and a cone will be the same. Color the ball with any pattern: stripes or polka dots, flowers or wavy lines.
Don't forget to draw a rope on which the Christmas tree toy hangs. This will add credibility to her.
When the drawing of the Christmas tree decoration is dry, you can start working on the general background. I remind you that on the side where it is light, the background should be darker, where the dark thicket of the tree should be lighter.
I hope the master class will be of interest not only to adults, but also to children, who will be able to paint a luxurious picture for the New Year holiday.
When we go for a walk in the forest, we come across the beauty of majestic fir trees and, of course, we end up with a cone in our hands. Small, but interesting in its structure, it becomes an interesting attribute for creative crafts. Those who like to make their own displays from natural materials are attracted to pine cones for making animals, birds and fairy-tale characters. If you are reading this article, you need a tutorial on how to draw a pine cone. How to draw a fir cone step by step?
Draw step by step
For drawing beginners, to reproduce the drawing, we suggest drawing techniques using circles and ovals. This beginning is easily perceived and, by connecting the rounded parts with smooth lines, we get a real character. The fir cone is no exception. To sketch the drawing you will need a simple pencil:
Stage 1. The basis of the cone will be an elongated oval, inside of which we will place the scales. Carefully draw an oval. The oval should be symmetrical.
Stage 2. At the top of the oval (find the top center point), draw a small arc inside, connecting the side parts of the oval. The scales have begun. The rest will branch off from the first scale.
Stage 3. Draw the scales carefully, tightly, so that they are extremely identical. Bring the side parts slightly beyond the contours of the oval. Looking at the cone, we see that its covering is wavy.
Stage 4. We continue to draw semicircles. Closer to the center we increase the size of the plates, slightly expanding the space between them. The cone blooms just like a flower bud, and depicting the scales in the same range is not entirely correct. There is nothing ideal in nature. The scales in the center of the cone are different in size. Try to distribute them slightly unevenly (one more, the other a little less).
Stage 5. Going down to the bottom of the cone, we reduce the scales in size and compact them. On the very bottom of the plate, draw it very small and slightly pointed. Do not move the pencil beyond the oval.
Having finished sketching the scaly plates, look at the picture carefully. What catches your eye? Certainly! A pine cone without a branch is not a complete drawing. How to draw a fir branch?
Before you start drawing the branch, erase unnecessary lines on the cone, strengthen the contours of the scales with thin lines from the bottom.
Step 6: Place a slightly curved line (the spine of the branch) above the pine cone. Draw the length as you wish. Add one or two side lines to the frame. Just remember - the length should be harmonious with the side branches.
Stage 7. Fluff the depicted twig. Carefully, on both sides, in random order, add thin needles at a moderate distance from each other. Draw the tilt of the needles in one direction. If the branch does not seem fluffy enough, add needles.
The last stage of our creative lesson is coloring. It is impossible not to notice that the scales of the cone and the needles of the branch have different shades.
For coloring, choose a convenient material. This could be colored pencils, watercolors, crayons. We begin to decorate the cone. The scales are shaded with several tones of brown. The bottom of the plate is lighter. We paint the spruce branch with light brown paint, and the needles with dark green color. If it is difficult for you to imagine the shades, take a ready-made drawing as a base and take a closer look at the color tints.
Have fun drawing!
