On New Year's Day, schools and kindergartens often conduct "New Year's drawing competition" and we, parents, begin to rack our brains to find a simple idea that our child can do. Exactly like this easy to implement drawings on New Year's theme I collected them here in one big pile. Here you will find stories with snowmen, penguins, polar bears, deer and Santa Claus.

Today in this article I will do the following:

I'll show you how to draw snowman(in different poses and angles)

I'll teach you
I'll offer simple techniques for image Santa Claus.
And we will still learn draw beautiful Christmas decorations.
And drawings- landscapes with the image of the New Year holiday.

So, let's begin our journey into the world of New Year's drawings for children and their parents.

How to draw a SNOWMAN

(simple ways)

In our New Year's drawings, we are used to depicting a snowman in the form pyramids of three rounds, topped with a rectangle-bucket. A well-established stereotype.

But this is the same as portraying a person only “ standing at attention, hands at your sides" If seasoned artists depict a person in the most different angles and poses, then young artists They can depict their snowman from the same angles.

Here's an example portrait drawing snowman. We draw only the head of a snowman, wearing a creative hat, and add a New Year's twist to our drawing - for example, we hang a Christmas ball on the carrot nose.

You can put a bird on the snowman's nose. Or try to depict lively emotions on the snowman’s face - rosy cheeks, a tilt of the head, a soft smile - and notice the direction of the carrot. It is not necessary to draw the carrot strictly sideways horizontally. The carrot drawn down and to the side (diagonally) gives the snowman a touching look. And a New Year's hat with a pompom will add the spirit of the New Year to our drawing.

Our snowman portrait may have living emotion- he can with touching tenderness watch a snowflake fly by. Or stretch your paw-twig towards the falling snow and throw back your head and look for a long time at the skies generous with snow.

A portrait of a snowman may have a touch of solidity– a tall hat, a clear symmetry of the nose and a gracefully tied scarf. Or maybe a snowman in a New Year's drawing like a slow-witted lout catching his hat in flight, pulled off by the wind. Good work for the children's New Year's drawing competition.

Here is an example of a New Year's drawing-portrait of a snowman - simple and step-by-step master class.

New Year's stories

with a snowman and a bird.

The painted snowman can hold a small bird in his hands. If you are good at drawing with gouache, then you can draw such a bright snowman in a knitted hat and a woolen scarf - with a red bird in his hand.

And if you are a beginner artist, then you can depict the same touching story with a bird in watercolors. And then, using a black pencil, draw a clear silhouette outline and small parts in the form of buttons and a nest with a sparrow. A very touching New Year's drawing.

Like this New Year's duet of a snowman and a bullfinch bird Even a child can draw. Simple shapes, and light application of shadows along the cap (darkening on one side, highlighting with white on the other side of the cap - this creates a visual volume-convexity). And around the snowman’s face we also apply light shadows - add a little light gray-blue color to the white - and with this “bluish” white we draw shadows around the circumference of the snowman’s face - this way we get the effect of a convex spherical face.

And here’s an idea for a New Year’s drawing based on the same plot, where a bird sleeps wrapped in the tip of a long snowman’s scarf

Snowman with his friend teddy bear.

And here's another drawing oil on canvas. Or maybe gouache draw the same one. First, we draw simple silhouettes... then we paint each element in its main color (white, green, light brown) and paint them in one color. And then we add additional shadows to each color (a darker shade of the same color range shade the snowman’s belly near the scarf and the circle around the bear’s nose). And then with white gouache and an almost dry brush we add a white coating on the face and belly of the bear and the hat and scarf of the snowman.

That is, you just need to look carefully at the sample and poke the shaded brush into the same places where shadows are applied in our New Year's drawing. And continue until your drawing looks like the original.

And here's another simple examples New Year's drawings with a snowman. In the left photo the snowman is holding in his paws-branches Christmas garland of light bulbs. A simple silhouette - simple light blue shadows on the round snowman. And whitish strokes of white paint over the black silhouette of the hat. Everything is simple if you look closely and figure out exactly how it’s done.

And here’s another one in the right photo above - GIRL wraps a snowman in a scarf. It seems that the drawing is complicated, but in reality everything is simple. Let me describe how to make such a New Year's drawing with your own hands for a school competition. So that each of you CLEARLY AND CLEARLY REALIZES that the most complex drawings are actually created in very simple and understandable steps. As in principle, any work is done about general principle– start, continue and finish. Same with drawings. So let's see how simple steps a complex New Year's plot of the drawing is born.

MASTER CLASS: How to draw a snowman.

STEP 1 - You first need to divide a sheet of paper into a white and blue background - cover it with gouache. Dry this background.

STEP 2 - use white gouache to draw the silhouette of a snowman. Dry it and add blue uneven shadows on the white sides of the snowman. They smeared the shadows as they applied them – evenness is not needed here. Dry.

STEP 3 - Use a pencil to draw a silhouette of a girl. The lines are simple. But if you doubt your abilities, then you can draw the girl’s template directly from the screen of your laptop onto a sheet of paper placed on the screen, and transfer it as a carbon copy to your canvas. If you need to enlarge on the screen girl size, you press buttonCtrl with one hand and the other hand at the same time roll the mouse wheel forward– the image on the screen will increase. The wheel back will decrease. And if, when enlarged, the image moves sideways beyond the border of the screen, then the left/right arrows on your keyboard will help you move the screen.

STEP 4 - Paint over each element of the girl with your own color - carefully with a thin brush, slowly.

STEP 5 – Dry the girl’s face and then carefully draw a bang on it with an almost dry brush. Using the opposite tip of the brush handle, draw the eyes, mouth and blush of the cheeks.

STEP 6 - Then draw scarf lines around the snowman. Paint it red. Dry it and on the scarf (and on the girl’s hat too) use a thin brush with white gouache to apply a pattern of white stripes and crosses.

STEP 7 – Finish drawing small silhouettes. Nose, eyes, smile and snowman buttons. Pocket on a girl's coat. String ties on the girl's hat.

STEP 8 - On background Draw dark silhouettes of houses and trees along the horizon line. Place blue shadows on the snow under the snowman and under the girl.

As you can see, everything is simple. If you break down all the work step by step - into simple and understandable steps. To avoid overwork, you can do the first 3 steps in one evening, and leave the remaining steps for the second evening. It’s more pleasant to work this way – without fatigue and stress.

Snowmen busy

(children's story drawings).

You can draw a whole group of cheerful New Year's snowmen riding on a swing. Or come up with your own plot. You can peek at him on canvases famous artists . And make a parody of famous work art, only the way it would look in the world of snowmen. Snowy Mona Lisa, with a mysterious smile, for example.

New Year characters

BEAR in a child's drawing.

Now let's talk about other characters Happy New Year appearance. These are, of course, polar bears. In red hats with white pompoms.

Bears can be drawn in different styles. In different cartoon genres. Here are some options for the competition children's drawing.

The leaders of drawing circles can draw such a cute New Year's teddy bear in gouache. The drawing, mind you, was taken from an ordinary table paper napkin.

And here's New Year's drawings with bears whose eyes are dreamily closed. One little bear is looking forward to opening a gift. Another polar bear listens to the singing of a bird. Cute New Year's motives - simple stories for children's drawing for the New Year. It can be depicted on greeting card or as a job for New Year's competition drawing at school.

Here a small master class on drawing a New Year's bear on a greeting card.

But you can draw a bear not only wearing a classic red and white New Year's hat. The bear in your drawing may have a variety of New Year's paraphernalia(masquerade costumes, funny onesies in the Santa Claus style, knitted sweaters with deer, skis, skates, etc.). And you don’t have to be able to draw the whole bear - you can do something more cunning. And draw just a bear's head sticking out behind a pile of gift boxes(as in the right picture from the photo below).

PENGUIN in a New Year's drawing

for a school competition

And of course, a winter drawing with a New Year's theme - these are funny penguins. These birds are also considered northern, although they live at the south pole. But the South Pole also has snowy winters - so the penguin is also a New Year's character.

Here are options for New Year's drawings with penguins, which are also easy to depict using children's strength, with a little parental help.

You just need to look carefully and understand what steps you need to take in order to ultimately get this image (in gouache, watercolor, or crayons). The main thing is to take your time and let one painted element dry before painting the second.

Below is a fairly simple gouache drawing made by children's hands. It only seems complicated - because there are a lot of small black details on it (black lines on the scarf, rounded curls on the fur, loops on the balls. But in fact, look carefully at each element - and you will understand how simple it is.

STEP 1 - First, paint over the background of the sheet with blue gouache - stains and stains are welcome - even if the background color is not even.

STEP 2 - The penguin itself is an ordinary oval. First it was painted with white gouache. And then they made a thick black outline around the edges (including the protrusions of the wings).

STEP 3 - Then we draw a white hat - wait until it dries - and apply stripes of different colors to it one by one. Then we draw the scarf - also with white gouache - dry it, and apply stripes.

STEP 4 - Draw a New Year's tree on top with white color - dry it - and apply red oblique stripes to it.

STEP 5 - Draw the legs and beak. On the background we draw white lines of snowflakes (crosswise and diagonally, and round dots at the tips).

STEP 6 - Christmas balls- also just round spots of white gouache - and on top of the circle with colored gouache.

You can draw something like this penguin in the form of skittles- in a long New Year's cap. Also an easy-to-make penguin model.

Here are a few step-by-step master classes on New Year's drawings, where you can see how to draw a penguin yourself step by step.

Your penguin can be decorated with a variety of hats and gifts.

How to draw a New Year's deer.

The most simple images deer is a DEER FROM TWO PALM (left drawing in the picture below). Or deer FRONT VIEW. Everyone drew such a deer in childhood (a ball of a face, leaf-shaped ears, twig-shaped horns, and two columns of legs with hooves).

You can paint a deer in a sitting position (round tummy-pouch, two front legs hanging on the sides, and the lower legs spread slightly to the sides).

And your deer may also be funny fat man. A sort of Santa Claus-fed specimen. It’s generally easy to draw such a deer yourself - its figure resembles an upside-down coffee cup - add short legs with hooves, a red nose - dots of eyes, and cute horns. Light-colored belly (in the shape of an arch), a hat and a scarf. Everything is simple and accessible.

Your New Year's drawing does not have to contain the WHOLE BODY OF THE DEER - from the antlers to the hooves. You can limit yourself to a very schematic (triangular) image of a deer’s head - as in the left picture below.

Or draw a deer's head in a CUTTED VIEW (as if he is looking through the edge of his nose into your window) - as in the right picture below

Here master class showing how to draw a New Year's drawing with a deer yourself.

Most often, a New Year's deer is drawn with Christmas tree decorations on the horns.

This technique can be performed in different stylizations of drawings. This could be a child's drawing of a deer (like the picture above).

Or your doe may be a graceful female doe with thick eyelashes drooping demurely downward. The Deer Lady is glamorous and majestic.

How to draw NEW YEAR

in the city, on the street.

And if you want to draw NEW YEAR on the streets of the city, festive atmosphere, cozy winter streets, Christmas trees in city squares, then here is another selection of ideas for such New Year’s drawings.

Please note that all objects here are painted with paints. Then around the lines of houses it was made outline with a narrow gray frame along the contour of the paint(so that the elements of the drawing become more contrasting and the drawing acquires an overall stylization). The silhouettes of passers-by are round spots of faces, and trapezoidal silhouettes of jackets (just a spot of a jacket is applied with paint). Then, when the jacket silhouette dries, we take black felt-tip pen(or a marker) and on the spot of the coat we draw cut elements, pockets, collar, buttons, belt, cuff lines, etc.). In the same way, we highlight with a black marker subtle design elements– lines of roof tiles, window frames, etc.

If the size of the sheet of paper is not large, then it will be difficult to fit an entire street with houses. You can limit yourself to a Christmas tree in the square and draw a few children.

Here's a great idea for a New Year's drawing, where children ride on the skating rink.

Here's another idea for a New Year's city. True, here the city is depicted not in the picture, but in the form textile applications. But the compositional idea of arranging houses and a Christmas tree in the drawing.

You can draw a city from the TOP VIEW, as if from the wing of an airplane. And then place it on the wide dome of the sky Santa Claus flying on a sleigh.

Or you can not draw a crowded and crowded city, but just draw a small forest hut and decorated Christmas tree near. And the retreating Santa Claus, who has just left his gifts under the tree.

These are the ideas for New Year's drawings that I have collected for you today in one pile. I hope that your drawing for the school competition turns into a happy family get-together with brushes and paints. I wish everything to work out - in a magical New Year's way. Let the soul of the New Year touch the tip of your pencil or brush - and flow into your New Year's drawing.
Happy New Year to Your Family.

We will need to draw a sheet of paper. We draw with a pencil vertical line in the center of the sheet and divide it into four parts. So we will designate the base, top and two central parts of the picture.

Draw three segments of the Christmas tree with a pencil.

We draw a star, balls and gifts.

Wet a sheet of paper with water and add light blue watercolor stains. We remove excess moisture and paint with a napkin and wait until the drawing dries.

Color the Christmas tree with green pencils.

Color the balls with a red pencil. To give volume to the balls, leave their central part unpainted.

Rub the balls with your finger. The light highlights on the balls become a little muted and look more natural.

We color the star and gifts with pencils.

We outline the star, gifts and parts of the balls with golden paint. Our wonderful “Christmas tree” drawing is ready!

Drawing of Santa Claus with pencil and paints

The “Santa Claus” drawing, made with pencil and paints, is bright and effective. Start your drawing with the head of Santa Claus.

Gradually, step by step, draw Santa Claus a robe, arms, legs, a bag with gifts and a festive staff.

Use yellow watercolor to paint the glow of the star on the staff.

Use dark blue watercolor to paint the background. While the paint is still wet, sprinkle it with salt. Once dry, the salt can be shaken off. You will get an interesting grainy background.
