Good afternoon, today I am unloading great article, which will help you choose a theme for the New Year's drawing, spy on the idea and think over its embodiment in your creative drawing. V New Year schools and kindergartens often carry out "New Year's drawing competition" and we, parents, begin to puzzle over the search for a simple idea that will be within the power of our child. Exactly such easy to implement I have collected pictures on the New Year's theme 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 will show you how you can draw snowman(in different poses and angles)
- Ladies phased drawings New Year's characters(penguin, polar bear).
- I will teach you
- I will propose simple techniques for image Santa Claus.
- And we will also learn draw beautiful Christmas decorations.
- And drawings- landscapes with the image of the New Year's holiday.
So let's begin our journey into the world 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 round topped with a bucket rectangle. An established stereotype.
But this is the same as portraying a person only “ at attention, hands at the seams". If seasoned artists depict a person in the most different angles and poses, then young artists can portray their snowman in the same angles.
Here's an example portrait drawing of a snowman... We draw only the head of a snowman in a creative hat and add a New Year's plot twist to our drawing - for example, we hang a Christmas ball on a carrot nose.
You can put a bird on the nose of the snowman. Or try to portray live emotions on the face of a snowman - pink cheeks, a tilt of the head, a soft smile - and notice the direction of the carrot. It is not necessary to draw carrots strictly horizontally sideways. A carrot drawn down and sideways (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 portrait of a snowman can have a lively emotion - he can look at a flying snowflake with touching tenderness. Or pull a twig to the falling snow and throw your head back for a long time to look at the skies generous to the snow.
A portrait of a snowman may have a touch of solidity- a high hat, a clear symmetry of the nose and an elegantly knotted scarf. Or the snowman in the New Year's drawing could be a dull-witted bummer catching his hat, which was torn off by the wind, on the fly. Nice work for the children's New Year's drawing competition.
Here is an example of a New Year's drawing of a portrait of a snowman - simple and step-by-step master class.
New Year's plots
with a snowman and a bird.
A drawn 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 with a woolen scarf - with a red bird in hand.
And if you are a novice artist, then you can depict the same touching plot with a bird in watercolors. And then, with a black pencil, draw a clear silhouette contours and small parts in the form of buttons and a nest with a sparrow. A very touching New Year's drawing.
Here is such New Year's duet of a snowman and a bullfinch bird even a child can draw. Simple shapes, and a light overlay of shadows along the cap (on one side, darkening, on the other side of the cap, highlighting with white - this is how a visual volume-bulge is created). And around the snowman's face we also impose light shadows - add a little light gray-blue to the white one - and with this "under-blue" white we draw shadows around the circumference of the snowman's face - so we get the effect of a convex spherical face.
And here is the idea for a New Year's drawing for the same plot, where the bird sleeps wrapped in the tip of a long snowman scarf
Snowman with a friend teddy bear.
And here is another drawing oil on canvas... Or you can gouache draw the same. First, draw simple silhouettes ... then paint over each element in its main color (white, green, light brown) them in one color. And then we add additional shadows to each color (with a darker shade of the same colors shading the belly of the snowman near the scarf and the circle around the nose of the bear). And then with white gouache and an almost dry brush, add white dusting on the face and belly of the bear and the hat and scarf of the snowman.
That is, you just need to carefully look at the sample and poke with a shaded brush in the same places where shadows are superimposed 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 its paws-branches Christmas garland of bulbs... Simple silhouette - simple shadows of a light blue hue on the snowman's round beads. And whitish strokes of white paint over the black silhouette of the hat. It's simple, if you look closely and figure out exactly how this is done.
And here is also on 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 for the school competition with my own hands. So that each of you CLEAR AND CLEARLY REALIZED that the most complex drawings are actually created very simple and clear steps... As in principle, any work is done about general principle- start, continue and end. So it is with pictures. So let's see how from simple steps a complex New Year's plot of the drawing is born.
MASTER CLASS: How to draw a snowman.
STEP 1 - You must first divide the sheet of paper into a white and blue background - cover with gouache. Dry this background.
STEP 2 - draw a silhouette of a snowman with white gouache. Dry and add blue uneven shadows on the white sides of the snowman. As they smeared the shadows, they smeared them - evenness is not needed here. Dry.
STEP 3 - Draw a silhouette of a girl with a pencil. The lines are simple. But if you doubt your abilities, then you can copy the girl's template directly from the screen of your laptop onto a sheet of paper placed on the screen, and transfer it under a carbon copy to your canvas. If you need to zoom in on the screen girl size, you push buttonCtrl with one hand and simultaneously with the other hand turn the mouse wheel forward- the image on the screen will be enlarged. The wheel back - will decrease. And if the image has moved sideways beyond the border of the screen when enlarged, then the left / right arrows on your keyboard will help to move the screen.
STEP 4 - Paint each element of the girl with your own color - gently with a thin brush, without rushing.
STEP 5 - Dry the girl's face and then gently draw a bang on it with an almost dry brush. With the back tip of the brush handle, paint the eyes, mouth and blush of the cheeks.
STEP 6 - Then draw the lines of the scarf around the snowman. Paint it red. Dry - and on the scarf (and on the girl's hat too) with a thin brush with white gouache, apply a pattern of white stripes and crosses.
STEP 7 - Draw small silhouettes. The nose, eyes, smile and buttons of a snowman. Girl's coat pocket. Tie ropes at the girl's hat.
STEP 8 - Draw dark silhouettes of houses and trees in the background along the horizon. Put blue shadows on the snow under the snowman and under the girl.
As you can see, everything is simple. If you decompose all the work in stages - into simple and understandable steps. In order not to overwork, you can take the first 3 steps in one evening, and leave the rest of the steps for the second evening. It is more pleasant to work this way - without fatigue and stress.
Snowmen busy
(children's plot drawings).
You can draw a whole group of hilarious christmas snowmen riding on a swing. Or come up with your own plot... You can spy it on canvases famous artists ... And make a parody of famous work art, just the way it would look in the world of snowmen. Snowy Mona Lisa, with a mysterious smile, for example.
New year characters
The BEAR in the child's drawing.
Now let's talk about other characters with New Year's appearance... These are, of course, polar bears. Wearing red caps with white pom-poms.
Bears can be drawn in different styles. In different cartoon genres. Here are some options for a children's drawing competition.
The leaders of the drawing circles can draw such a cute New Year's bear in gouache. The drawing, mind you, is taken from an ordinary table paper napkin.
But New Year's drawings with bears whose eyes are dreamily closed. One teddy bear looks forward to the opening of a gift. Another polar bear listens to the song of a bird. Cute new year motives – simple plots for children's drawing for the New Year. It can be depicted on greeting card or as a job on new year competition drawing at school.
Here a small workshop on drawing a Christmas bear on a greeting card.
But you can draw a bear not only in the classic red and white Christmas hat. The bear in your drawing may have a wide variety of New Year's paraphernalia(fancy dress, funny jumpsuits in the style of "Santa Claus", knitted sweaters with deer, skis, skates, etc.). And you don't have to be able to draw the whole bear - you can do more cunningly. And draw only the head of a bear sticking out behind a pile of gift boxes(ka in the right picture with the photo below).
PENGUIN on the New Year's drawing
for school competition
And of course winter drawing with new year theme Are funny penguins. These birds are also considered northern, although they live on south pole... But even at the South Pole there are 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 with childish powers, with a little parental help.
You just need to look closely and understand what steps you need to take in turn to get the final image (in gouache, watercolor, or crayons). The main thing is not to rush and let one painted element dry before painting over the second.
Below is a fairly simple gouache drawing made by children's hands. It only seems complicated - because there are many small black sketches on it (black lines on a scarf, rounded curls on fur, loops on 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 - let the background color be uneven.
STEP 2 - The penguin itself is an ordinary oval. At first he was painted with white gouache. And then they made a black thick stroke along the edges (with an approach to the protrusions of the wings).
STEP 3 - Then we draw a white hat - wait for it to dry - and apply stripes on it in different colors in turn. Then we draw a scarf - also in white gouache - dry it, and apply stripes.
STEP 4 - Draw a New Year's side in white on top - dry it - and apply red oblique stripes on it.
STEP 5 - Finish the legs, beak. On the background, draw white lines of snowflakes (cross to cross and diagonally, and round dots at the tips).
STEP 6 - Christmas balls- also just round spots with white gouache - and on top of the circle is already colored gouache.
You can draw this penguin in the shape of a skittle- in a long New Year's cap. Also an easy-to-execute penguin model.
And here are several step-by-step New Year's drawing master classes, where you can see how to draw a penguin step by step yourself.
Your penguin can be decorated with a variety of hats and gifts.
How to draw a New Year's deer.
The most simple images a deer is a DOUBLE DEER (left picture in the picture below). Or deer FRONT VIEW. Everyone drew such a deer in childhood (a face ball, leaf ears, twig horns, and two columns of legs with hooves).
You can paint a deer in a sitting position (a round belly-pouch, two front legs hang down at the sides, and the lower legs are slightly apart).
And your deer can also be funny fat man. A sort of fattened by Santa Claus, a specimen. It's easy to draw such a deer yourself - its figure resembles an inverted coffee cup - we add short legs with hooves, a red nose - eye points, and cute horns. Highlighted belly (in the form of an arch), hat and scarf. Everything is simple and accessible.
Your New Year's drawing is not obliged to contain the ENTIRE DEER BODY - from antlers to hooves. You can limit yourself to a very schematic (triangular) depiction of a deer head - as in the left picture below.
Or draw a deer head in a CROWNED VIEW (as if he looks out of the corner 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 decorations on the horns.
This technique can be performed in different styling drawings. It could be child drawing deer (as in the picture above).
Or your deer can be a graceful female with bushy eyelashes, modestly downward. The Deer Lady is glamorous and dignified.
How to draw NEW YEAR
in the city, on the street.
And if you want to draw a NEW YEAR on the streets of the city, a festive atmosphere, cozy winter streets, Christmas trees in the 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 was made a narrow gray border around the paint contour(so that the elements of the picture become more contrasting and the picture acquired a general stylization). The silhouettes of passers-by are round spots of faces, and trapezoidal silhouettes of jackets (just a spot of a jacket is painted with paint). Then when the jacket silhouette dries up we take black felt-tip pen(or marker) and on the spot of the coat we draw cut elements, pockets, collar, buttons, belt, cuff lines, etc.). In the same way, with a black marker, we highlight subtle elements of the picture- lines of roof tiles, window frames, etc.
If the size of a sheet of paper is not large, then it will be difficult to place an entire street with houses. You can limit yourself to a Christmas tree in the square and draw several children.
And here great idea New Year's drawing, where children ride a skating rink.
Here's another idea new year city... True, here the city is depicted not in the figure, but in the form applications from textiles. But the compositional idea of the arrangement of houses and a Christmas tree in the picture.
You can draw the city from TOP VIEW, as if from the wing of an airplane. And then place on the wide dome of the sky Santa Claus flying on a sleigh.
Or you can not draw a crowded and multi-house city, but just draw a small forest hut and an elegant Christmas tree nearby. And the departing Santa Claus, who has just left his presents under the tree.
These are the ideas for New Year's drawings, I have collected for you today in one pile. I hope that your drawing for the school competition will turn into a happy family gathering with brushes and paints. I wish that everything will 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 pour over your New Year's drawing.
Happy New Year to Your Family.

Happy New Year to Olga Klishevskaya, the author of this article.
Christmas is one of the biggest and brightest Christian holidays... I celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ in all branches of Christianity, although the dates are significantly different:
- Catholic Christmas is celebrated on December 25 (Gregorian calendar);
- Orthodox (in Russia and many post-Soviet countries) - January 6 (according to the Julian calendar).
Many Protestant denominations, as well as some Orthodox Western countries also note this big holiday until the new Year. But, regardless of beliefs and belonging to a particular denomination, all Christians on this day gather with their families in order to glorify the birth of the Savior. For those who cannot take part in a family dinner, in 2018 at Christmas you can present beautiful pictures, complementing them with warm sincere wishes.
We have selected the most original Christmas cards for you:
In Russia, the tradition of giving beautiful Christmas pictures on Christmas Eve dates back to the 1890s. The first postcards were brought from England. And, although in Europe it has long been customary to decorate pictures with the inscription "Merry Christmas", the first copies brought to Russia, for obvious reasons, were without words. People liked the beautiful tradition and quickly took root. Already in 1898, the first postcards for Christmas were issued in Russia based on paintings by St. Petersburg artists.
Although many years have passed, even today, in 2018, everyone is pleased to receive touching Christmas pictures depicting the little Christ as a gift.
Christmas pictures with angels
The angel brought the Virgin Mary the good news of the imminent birth of a baby. Also the angels reported significant event and indicated the location of the newborn Savior. That is why angels are one of the main symbols of Christmas. In 2018, you can present your loved ones for Christmas with a beautiful porcelain figurine or present drawings with the image of an angel.
European Christmas cards
During the Christmas period, Russians often visit their friends and acquaintances. In Europe, Christmas is clean family celebration... For a festive dinner, it is customary to gather at the table the most relatives and friends.

That is why, postcards or pictures with a beautifully decorated table, presented at Christmas, is a wish that in 2018 there would always be plenty in the house.
Christmas is one of happy holidays that believers all over the world are waiting for. On such a holiday, I especially do not want to buy ready-made gifts from the store. They do not carry the warmth, the kindness that gifts made with their own hands have. The most favorite for children are drawings on the theme of the Nativity of Christ. Such children's creativity has a lot of positive aspects.
