Step-by-step instructions for practical drawing of tanks, planes and helicopters in the process of mastering the art of black-and-white and halftone graphics.

We invite you to learn how to draw domestic, mainly Russian, examples of military equipment in their modern form using a step-by-step method.

Remember! Any mistake made at the very beginning of the drawing process can hopelessly ruin the final result. You may find it difficult at first to draw curved outlines (round, egg-shaped, or sausage-shaped) or even to get the pencil on the paper to the intended point. Do not despair! Stay enthusiastic and continue drawing with persistence and patience. The more practice, the higher the skill. If you wish, you can use a compass - professional artists do not consider this shameful for themselves.

Items needed for work: a clean white sheet of good quality paper, a pencil with a medium-hard or soft lead, an eraser. Compasses, ink, feather, brush, ballpoint pen, felt-tip pen - optional.

Choose a sample of military equipment that you would like to draw. Using light touches of the pencil, without pressure, very carefully and carefully apply on the paper the strokes that make up the initial (first) “step” - usually it is located in the upper left corner of the diagram you have chosen. Then take the second “step” - also without pressure and just as carefully. Keep track not only of the direction and curvature of the lines, but also of the distance between them, that is, their relative position. The size of the drawing should match the size of your sheet of paper - not too small and not too large. The first “steps” seem to be the least difficult, but they must be performed with particular precision, because any mistake made at the beginning of the process can spoil the final result.

It is also very useful to look at the reflection of your work in the mirror from time to time - it can reveal distortions that you would not otherwise be able to notice.

New lines for each “step” are shown in the diagram as bolder, so that it is easier for you to recognize what exactly should be added to your drawing at the next stage. Continue working as before with light, thin strokes. If any line turns out to be too thick or dark, lighten it with an eraser: run it along the line without much pressure, without trying to erase it completely.

And a few more tips. Remember that for all the apparent complexity of some objects, they can always be reduced to simple geometric shapes: a ball, a cone, a pyramid, a cube, a parallelepiped, a cylinder.

Try to draw equipment not from the front, but from more advantageous angles, taking into account perspective, so that they look three-dimensional rather than flat.

You can also “cheat” a little when depicting complex details: in order not to be distracted from the integrity of the image and not waste too much time, you can draw them approximately, as a complex of expressive strokes, dots, underlines, and wavy lines.

Well, of course, let’s say, ships do not exist on their own, but, as a rule, organically fit into the surrounding landscape. Therefore, elements of the landscape - sea, river, rocks, even if only slightly outlined - will significantly enliven and enrich the drawing.

Having finished applying light strokes, that is, having completed the entire eight “steps” shown in the selected diagram, and making sure that all the elements of your drawing correspond to the desired image, outline them with confident pencil movements with the necessary pressure. After this final finishing, the drawing can be considered ready. If desired, you can enhance the contrast of the lines using ink (using a thin brush or steel nib), ballpoint pen or felt-tip pen. When the ink, paste or ink is dry, use an eraser to remove any unnecessary pencil marks.

Remember: if your first attempts to draw do not lead to the desired result, keep trying. It is very important not to lose perseverance, patience, and enthusiasm. In the end, your efforts will be crowned with complete success - at that moment you may not immediately believe yourself, but you will still be pleasantly surprised by what you have achieved.

We sincerely hope that your drawing skills will improve and the long time spent on recreating images of all these formidable and in their own way beautiful examples of technology will not be wasted.

In this lesson you can learn how to draw a soldier using a pencil and your own patience.

Previously, we have already drawn drawings on military themes:

In drawing a soldier, you may also find the “” lesson useful, but this is for in-depth understanding. So let's get started.

First we make a base-marking, such a frame for the body of our soldier. At the top there is an oval in the form of a head. Then it connects to the body of two trapezoids, then the line of the legs and also the lines of the arms. Did it look like the picture below? Let's move on.

Within the oval we need to draw the soldier’s head-face. First, we mark the oval with guide lines and draw ears on the sides. Draw the eyes and eyebrows along a horizontal line, and a little lower – the nose and mouth. Add lines to the ears, draw a little short hair of the soldier.

We draw a cap on top. Add its top, as well as a star. Let's finish drawing the neck.

So, our head is ready, we can finish drawing the collar and shoulders of our friend.

The next step will be to draw its shape, or rather its upper part. We draw shoulder straps and a belt.

Pockets, buttons and a star on the belt should also be depicted on the top of the form.

Now you need to draw the lower part - the trousers. Pay attention to the folds.

Don't forget to also draw the hands of our soldier in uniform. We draw the sleeves step by step, and then draw the palms. It won't be very easy for beginners to draw detailed hands, so everything is very sketchy.

All that remains is to draw the boots.

May 9 is coming soon and I really want you to be able to prepare good and beautiful cards and posters for this significant event in our country.

In this lesson we will practice with Lesia (you can easily find her website on Google), how to draw a postcard for Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War. With its help, everything will be easy for us and we can quickly and easily learn to draw the Great Patriotic War and the battlefield with real ones. We will try to downplay the contribution and evaluate it according to the fact, so that they do not get too excited and rewrite history in their own way. And we will try to pay more attention to veterans, thanks to whom we can be proud of our history and live in the modern world.

We all know and remember the years of the Second World War of 1941-1945 and we know that the USSR waged a bloody struggle against Nazi Germany and its allies. So it's time to start drawing the battlefield and Soviet soldiers!

Step 1.

Let's start with a basic sketch of the drawing. Draw a horizon line about a third of the way from the top of the paper. Add a couple of lines for a country road in the battlefield. Then we will draw a schematic diagram of three soldiers on one straight line going into the distance to show the line of defense. The further away the soldier is, the smaller he is naturally. For a more convenient view, you can click on the picture and take a closer look.


Step 2.

Now let's diversify the horizon a little. Let's finish drawing small houses and forest shape lines. Let's add a little hilliness. Then let's start drawing the farthest soldier. Be sure to enlarge the image of the battle drawing for yourself so as not to miss the small details of the drawing.


Step 3.

Let's draw the next soldier. We'll put a combat rifle in his hands and also draw a small defensive hillock. The soldier himself has already been slightly increased in size compared to the previous one.


Step 4.

Now let's move on to the soldier in the main close-up. Try to consider the shape of his helmet and add details for the rifle.


Step 5.

Let's easily and simply apply shadows to the bodies of the soldiers and their weapons. We will also draw in the details of the background so that the grass and landscape become noticeable.


Step 6.

Using strokes we will sketch the grass in the field and add the shapes of the hilly terrain.


Step 7

Now, using a light, light tone of pencil smudges, we will convey on the horizon the shapes of smoke from fires in a local village, we will finally shade the field drawing and add details for the hillocks and the soldiers’ trenches. We did a great job and can see what else to draw for May 9th!


Drawing a soldier with a pencil will be quite difficult, like any person. After all, you need to know the proportions and place the legs and other parts of the body exactly. Therefore, we offer you this lesson, which clearly and clearly shows.

Necessary materials:

  • colored pencils in brown, black, orange and pink tones;
  • a simple pencil;
  • black marker;
  • eraser;
  • ruler;
  • paper.

Drawing steps:

1. First, using a ruler, draw a vertical line, and then divide it into nine equal parts. The soldier will consist of these parts.


2. The head will occupy the first segment, let’s designate it schematically. Draw the hair, ears and headdress, which will extend slightly beyond the upper border.

From the bottom of the head draw the neck. We draw the broad shoulders of the soldier in the second segment. We draw from the edges of the shoulders along one more line down to the fourth segment. This will be the waist, on which the belt will be depicted. From this point we draw straight lines to the fifth segment. Secure with a horizontal line.


3. From the shoulders we draw down segments to the beginning of the fourth gap. We put small points and draw straight lines until the beginning of the fifth interval. At the end of each line we will draw small ovals. These will be the soldier's hands.


4. Now let's move on to the legs and draw them as straight lines. We finish drawing the legs on the last segment – ​​the ninth. From their ends we will draw one small segment to draw the foot. A slight deviation from the boundaries is allowed.


5. We detail the upper part of the soldier’s torso - draw the collar, shoulder straps, shoulders and sleeves.


6. Instead of ovals, draw hands. We detail the legs and begin to draw the silhouette. We finish drawing high army boots on the legs.


7. Draw details on the face - eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth. We do all this with a sharply sharpened pencil.


8. Let's add small elements to the soldier's drawing.


9. Make a stroke with a black marker over the pencil lines.


10. Create a natural skin color on the soldier’s hands and face using a pink and brown pencil. We will also color our hair with a brown pencil.


11. We will paint the soldier’s boots black.
