How to easily start drawing
Here are my little tips to make the creative process easier and more fun.
First, we will depict domestic animals and birds. And at the same time this will help to learn new species of the animal world or repeat already familiar ones.
And this is the simplest thing I want to start with.
Secondly, we will draw with geometric shapes.
At the age of 6, when children are preparing for 1st grade, they are already familiar with such concepts as “circle”, “triangle”, “stick”, “oval”. Therefore, the child will not have any major difficulties with drawing.
If children are not familiar with these mathematical terms, there will be good motivation to familiarize themselves with them and remember them.
And thirdly, we will start drawing with colored pencils. This further develops the motor skills of children's hands. In addition, children aged 4-5 years old will not get very dirty with you.
However, if your child loves to paint, then let them enjoy coloring.
So, let's start studying our drawing schemes.
First we will draw an owl. Usually she sits on a tall tree and watches other inhabitants of the forest. The owl's eyes are large and round, so this bird sees well at night. It is at this time that she hunts, and during the day the owl sleeps in a secluded place.
Materials we need: pencils
First of all, let's draw a large oval. This will be the body of an owl and at the same time a wise little head.
Color the body with a beige pencil.
Inside the head we add two circles - these are the eyes. There are two more in them, only smaller ones. We paint them black.
The next step will be triangles. The owl will have as many as 3 of them.
We make ears for the bird so that it can hear everything. To do this, we draw two small triangles with the corner up.
Pictures for kids
You can show your little one how to draw step by step those little animals that he is already familiar with. The simplest drawing technique is circles. True, for this you need your child to master these simple figures.
There is a simple algorithm for teaching little ones how to draw basic shapes: you need to take the child’s hand in yours and draw a circle with a pencil. If your little one has mastered drawing a circle, show him how you can use this shape to draw funny little animals:
In this way, you can learn to portray not only funny cats and dogs, but even your favorite cartoon characters (for example, Smeshariki).
Lion is the king of the animals
Representatives of the cat family rarely leave anyone indifferent. These graceful pets make children very happy, keeping them company while they play. But true delight is caused by a truly royal cat - a lion. So why not invite your child to draw it?
Cute lion cub
There is nothing difficult about drawing a charming lion cub:
- First, at the top of the sheet, closer to the central point, draw the animal’s head. It has the shape of a circle. To maintain symmetry, we divide the circle into 4 sectors by two perpendicular lines. Since the lion cub is located at an angle, we make the lines curved and slightly shifted to the left.
- We add a torso to the head, depicting it in the form of a slightly curved oval. Please note that the oval is somewhat narrowed at the top and widened at the bottom. In the area of the lower sectors of the head we draw a smaller circle. This is the basis for the future muzzle.
- In the lower part of the oval we highlight the area of the hind legs, in the upper part we draw the outline of the erect front legs. All paws fit tightly to the body of the body. We draw the tail, depicting it with two parallel curved lines.
- We draw the details of the muzzle. To do this, closer to the crossing of the lines we outline the contours of the eyes, a little lower - the nose, shaped like a heart. We add the lower jaw to the circle of the head, first forming the outer contour, and then the inner one - the lower lip. Around the nose, extending to the lower jaw, we highlight the area of the cheeks. The cheeks should be symmetrical.
- Can there be a lion without a mane? To highlight the shaggy head, stepping back 2-3 cm from the contour, we outline another circle of a slightly larger diameter. We give its frame a jagged shape.
- At the final stage, all that remains is to remove the auxiliary lines. After this, draw the tassel of the tail, paint over the pupils with black, and make the main contours clearer.
cat
Well done! But we cannot stop there. Let's now draw each child's favorite. And it will be the cat Vasya. Redhead is the favorite pet of all children. And of course he loves milk and sleeps sweetly all day long.
What do you need to draw this handsome guy? We'll need pencils
Let's get started? I can't wait anymore.
Let's start with the torso. To do this, we will draw an oval in the middle of the sheet, and so that it appears to be lying on the ground.
So, the body is ready. Let's draw Vasya a big fluffy tail. To do this, we make a long oval on the side of the body.
Moreover, it is worth noting that our tail should seem to stand on a large oval.
Ready? Now we decorate our finished ovals with an orange pencil. After all, our cat is red.
The next step will be the cat's paws.
Draw four identical small sticks under the body. These will be our paws. Now we paint them orange. Great!
Let's move on to the most interesting part - the cat's head. Let's draw a circle. Color it orange.
Now let's do some magic on the muzzle.
We place two small circles inside the head. Draw black lines. This will be Vaska's mustache.
Well, does your drawing look like a cat now?
Well, this is the last stage. Let's draw the cat's nose and ears.
Place a small triangle with the corner down between the two circles with the cat's antennae.
We decorate this triangle with a pink pencil. Let your nose be gentle.
And the final part is the ears. We place two middle triangles on the top of our Vasya’s head. Let them be orange too.
This is how Vasya turned out. What is yours? Send your photos in the comments.

Animals from circles
The easiest way to teach a child to draw domestic and wild animals is to use ordinary circles as a basis. This option is perfect even for kids of preparatory age.
Look how easy and simple everything is! Each time the starting point when creating a drawing will be an ordinary circle. The young artist’s task is to strictly follow the sequence of actions.
Start with the simplest characters - a puppy and a goldfish, or a curled up cat and a cute owl
Do you want to portray a forest dweller? Why not draw the face of a kind bear cub. Please note that the basis of the picture is made up of only a few circles of different diameters.
What do you think of this snail with a house on its back? To create it, you need to perform only 6 simple steps: draw teardrop-shaped figures of the body, draw eyes and a mouth, and design the twisting spiral of the house.
Creating a drawing of the inhabitants of the underwater kingdom will not cause any particular difficulties. To the round body you only need to draw the head and limbs.
The idea of such drawings is simple: the circle is simply “overgrown” with ears, noses, eyes, paws and tails. Using this simple technique, it will not be difficult to depict not only animals, but also cartoon characters beloved by many, for example, the same Smeshariki.
