Step 1: Here's what I used to draw the penguins in pencil: two large graphite pencils, A, 5mm mechanical pencil, kneaded eraser, shading paper, and a white acrylic marker. The drawing paper itself should be very textured, not smooth. The texture of the paper will give a much more realistic look to this design.

Step 2: Okay, I forgot to mention the graphite stick in the materials section, but this is really the only step you use it for. Lightly rub the graphite lengthwise across the page. The result should look very grainy due to the texture of the paper.

Step 3. Using either your shading brush or a paper towel/cloth, go over the entire piece of paper, smoothly blurring the background. The texture should still be visible.

Step 4: Okay! It's time to sketch our penguin family. Use a graphite pencil at this stage and don't worry about accuracy. At this stage, draw a sketch and proceed to the next step.

Step 5. Okay, now it's time to erase some of the colored sketch! Using your kneaded eraser, erase the lightest parts of the penguins' bodies, lightening their bellies, the parents' necks, and the faces of their chicks.

Step 6. Now, using your mechanical pencil, start drawing in the details and outlines of the drawing.

Step 7: In this step we begin to darken the painting using a combination of mechanical and wood pencils. Notice how I darkened the faces of the adult penguins. I also erased a little space around the penguins to add more contrast between them and the background.

Step 9. In this step you can see the result of adding darkness and details. Notice that I also erased the larger outline around the penguins.

Step 10 It's time to add details to these adorable little penguins! Is it just me or do they really look something like owls?)

Step 11. Here is the result of the previous step...

Step 12. Now, using an acrylic marker, begin to draw the light areas and outlines. Also, brighten up the background. You can also add texture to the ground to make it look more like snow.

Your child doesn't want to draw? Most likely, he is afraid that he will not succeed. Try to overcome your fear using our experience.

Our ward Dima (8 years old). He doesn’t like to draw, especially with a pencil (no fine motor skills) or with paints (it’s difficult to draw with the tip of a brush). He loves pastel: it doesn’t take much effort to rub it, but it turns out evenly and beautifully.

We draw side by side: I have my drawing, and Dima has his. Nice welcome training. Adult shows step by step drawing object, and the child copies. It turns out to be like working on equal terms. The boy, seeing that I don’t succeed right away, stops feeling complex about his own failures. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work out: we’ll erase it, fix it, and provide assistance. We will definitely praise you! (Learning to criticize step by step)

I recently read an article about Elena Isinbaeva. She even took art courses so she could draw with her daughter. Courses are good, but not required. All adults can draw children's drawings. The child must see our interest.

Preliminary work

  1. On the globe we will show the Arctic and Antarctic - the earth's poles
  2. We will find material about Antarctica in the encyclopedia, the Internet, and the library. The boy will have to remember the icy country (we don’t use the word “mainland” yet) and its inhabitants. The main inhabitant is a penguin. We read all available information.
  3. How to draw it? Let's learn the easiest way to depict a penguin.
  4. We are planning how to draw Antarctica. Let's make a sketch.
  5. We select pastels and paint.

Penguins in Antarctica

Materials

  1. Pastel. Pastel pencils: black, red.
  2. A simple pencil.
  3. A sheet of white paper for drawing.
  4. Napkins.
  5. Eraser.

First, show your child how to draw a penguin step by step. We offer a very simple penguin drawing. And then we move on to the picture (the plot drawing).

How to draw penguins in Antarctica

Let's draw how penguins feed and fish.

1. On a sheet of drawing paper secured to the tablet with masking tape, make a sketch with a simple pencil. Take a TM pencil or a generally hard one, depending on how hard the child presses on the pencil. In the video, huge ice mountains with cracks. Only on a narrow strip of shore did birds approach the water.
2. We start coloring from the sky. Today a student made me happy: he independently added blue to blue and purple. Why do such little things make you happy? The most important thing in learning is not just to learn something. And learn to apply the acquired skills in similar and dissimilar situations. This is called learning ability, indicating that the child has prospects, even if this moment he is given a mental health disorder.

3. Let's move on to the cliffs. They are white. But along the cracks there are grayish (shadows) with blue. Let's use the lightest gray we have. And let's add a little blue.
4. Add blueness to the snow on the shore and color sea ​​wave on the sea
5. Now the penguins are in Antarctica. Black and white. Since they are small in size they are difficult to color with pastel chalk. Here, pastel pencils were used for coloring: even, white and red (for the beak and paws). Gently rub the pastel on the sea with your finger. The painting is complete. To display it on the website, we had to slightly enhance some of the lines of the drawing in Photoshop, otherwise they were very hard to see. When you draw, this is normal, the lines should be thin so as not to stand out. Unfortunately, they were lost when processed for the Internet. We apologize.

What is the South Pole known for?
Because the South Pole is blizzardy!
Ice floes covered the ground there,
And penguins live on them.
These birds don't fly
But they want to fly
And for a long time at dawn
They look at the blue sky.
Here are some interesting facts about penguins:
1.Penguins are a type of seabirds - loons, albatrosses, petrels.
2.Penguins flightless birds, as well as ostrich, emu, kiwi, cassowary.
3. Penguin - cannot fly, but can swim, and also walks while standing.

4.Take brush No. 2 and add black gouache. We outline the oval from left to right, like a horseshoe, leaving the tummy white.


5.Now we draw the wings. They can be positioned in different ways: raised up, lowered down, apart, folded on the stomach.


6.Draw black dots-eyes. To do this, you can use cotton swabs. Using a thin brush and some red paint, paint the beak from top to bottom with a sharp movement so that it becomes sharp at the bottom.


7.Brush No. 2, red paint, using the “dipping” method, draw the legs. The penguin family is ready.


Now let's draw the northern lights. The most common form of Northern Lights is stripes.
8. Apply with a thin brush white paint and draw a few lines.


9.Now let’s apply yellow and green spots.


10.And we’ll finish everything off with red spots. The drawing “Penguin Family” is ready.


You can draw penguins differently, for example by making a white fingerprint or thumb and then adding all the necessary details and then the drawing will look like this.

In this lesson you will learn how to draw an emperor penguin with a pencil step by step, standing on the snow, a huge ice floe. Penguins are birds, only they cannot fly; they live in coastal waters from the Galapagos Islands to Antarctica. The Emperor Penguin is the largest of all penguin species. Males and females can be distinguished by size, as males are taller and heavier (130 cm and 40 kg), and females are 115 cm tall and weigh 30 kg. Emperor penguins, like all penguins, eat fish and crustaceans. They hunt in packs, moving at an average speed of 4 km/h in water. Penguins live in large groups on ice floes near the water, if they are very cold, then they are pressed against each other and it becomes very warm inside, even if environment subzero temperature, for example -20. Their vision is very well adapted to see in water.

We will draw from this photo.

Draw a circle - this will be the size of the head, then determine the length of the body, you can measure it with a pencil and project this size onto the paper, marking a horizontal stripe. Then I sketched out a curve that would show me the side of the penguin, for example, like .

In the beak, draw the area that is orange on the penguin and the wing. I approximately divided the body in half in height, with the elbow located a little higher.

Draw the paws and tail, erase all unnecessary lines.

Paint the dark areas very dark and the abdomen with a light tone.

The side of the penguin on the left is shaded more; the body there is not illuminated. We draw sparse feathers in the front.

To make the color uniform, you can shade it with the edge of paper or cotton wool. We show a dark area near the head on the neck. You can also draw wild expanses of ice and snow, then on the left you will need to complete the shadow of the penguin. The penguin drawing is ready.

In this really simple drawing tutorial you will learn how to draw a simple penguin.

Penguins are birds that use their wings to float on water rather than fly through the air.

Penguins eat fish, which they catch with their beaks while swimming. Their black and white plumage serves as camouflage and helps protect them from predators such as leopard seals and killer whales - below, their white bellies blend with the bright sunlight, and from above the dark backs disappear into muddy water at the bottom.

Did you know? Penguins do not live at the North Pole. Almost all penguins live in the Earth's southern hemisphere, below the equator—only the Galapagos penguin lives further north.

Not all penguins live in the snow, for example, there are little penguins that live on warm beaches in New Zealand, Africa and tropical islands.

Some penguins are so small that you can hold them in your hands, while the emperor penguin of Antarctica is almost four feet tall. How tall are you? Are you taller than this huge penguin?

Penguins have appeared in many animated films, including The Pebbles and the Penguin (1995), Happy Feet (2006), Surf's Up (2007) and Madagascar (2005).

Some of the first animated penguin characters appeared in the 1964 film Mary Poppins. These films feature Adelie penguins, emperor penguins, jumping penguins and other species.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Penguin

1. Draw a circle. This will form the penguin's head.

2. Draw an oval overlapping the original circle. This will add detail to the shape of the head.

3. Erase the guide lines from the head.

4. Draw an ovoid oval covering the bottom of the head. This will form the body of the penguin.

5. Extend a curved line from each side of the body, just below the head. Slant the line so that it doubles back and spans the slanted o round shape triangle. This outlines in general outline penguin fins. Then draw a short, curved line down the center of each fin.

6. Erase the guide lines from the point where the head and body overlap.

7. Draw the legs. For each leg, extend two slightly curved short lines from the bottom of the body. Connect the lines using several short, curved lines to form the toes.

8. Add detail to the belly by enclosing the oval shape with a long, curved line. Draw a small, curved, inverted triangle in the middle of the face. It shapes top part beak. Place a round shape underneath using a short, curved line, thereby forming the bottom of the beak. Then draw two curved lines from the beak to the top of the head.

OTHER EASY DRAWING GUIDELINES:

9. Draw a circle on each side of the beak to form the eyes. Inside each eye, draw a smaller circle. Shadow between two circles.

10. Color your penguin. Penguins typically have black feathers on their bodies and wings, with white markings on their faces and bellies.
