Best friends in naive style

Naive art originated in the 19th century. At first, this style was not taken seriously. Only after some time did it gain recognition. Many have seen paintings done in the naive style. At first, it seems that they were drawn by a child, but in fact, these are adults, but not always professional artists.

Naive is a special artistic style, distinguished by freshness and spontaneity in depicting the surrounding world. You don’t have to be a professional to draw a picture in this style. Even without any professional drawing skills, you can draw a good portrait.

To draw you will need a pencil, an eraser and colored pencils.

Drawing step by step:

1. Draw the head. No need to try to maintain anatomical proportions. The naive style is characterized by generalized forms, simplicity of techniques, so such assumptions are not a mistake. Moreover, they are what distinguish naive from other styles.
2. Draw eyes or cover them with cucumber rings as shown in the example.
3. Draw the nose and mouth. There is no need to strive for realism in the image.
4. Mark the body and arms. One of the properties of the naive style is simplified rhythm, so curves and construction are not important in the drawing. The generalized shape of the arms will give the drawing plasticity, which also distinguishes naive from other styles.
5. Draw clothes.
6. Draw the hair with colored pencils.

All that's left is to color the skin with a cream or soft pink pencil. You can add a light blush to girls with a bright red pencil.

The properties of the naive style also include the brightness of colors and images, clear contours, and flatness of the image. Therefore, do not be afraid to use many bright colors. The drawing should be saturated, flat, and resemble a postcard.

If you draw a background, you need to carefully work out its details. Naive is distinguished by the absence of volume, so all elements are equally worked out. Drawing in a naive style does not require the depiction of shadows and highlights. All elements of the painting are evenly illuminated and do not necessarily cast shadows.

Naive art discards all restrictions and makes no distinction between reality and fantasy. The drawing may contain fairy-tale animals and fictional characters. Wild animals depicted in the painting do not pose a threat to humans.

The naive style allows non-professional artists to paint pictures of such a degree of realism that is available to them due to their limited skills. Professionals, on the other hand, try hard to hide their skills, pretending that they have not been trained in drawing. However, such works are distinguished by their harmony and thoughtfulness of the image, which is what gives away the professional.

Naive style does not mean that the author cannot draw. A person may not have professional skills and abilities, but understanding what he is drawing and why will allow him to draw a high-quality drawing.

Regardless of the drawing style, pencils should be well sharpened. Otherwise, the drawing will not be as beautiful, and may even be ruined due to a poorly sharpened pencil. It is not necessary to draw a portrait yourself. An alternative is special services that can create a drawing effect from any photo.
