Ideas for LD drawings for copying, easy and beautiful — Ideas for LD - drawings of hearts on the corner of the page

How to draw a pattern:

Draw several smooth lines in a chaotic order. One end of each line should end in a spiral, as if it were curling into a curl.
Add new, but shorter lines to each line. Also depict curly ends.
Draw 3-4 twisting branches. Let the spirals at their ends be directed in different directions.
Between these lines draw 3 hearts of different sizes.
Color the hearts with a pink pencil.
Use an eraser to erase any extra lines, if any. Then take a brown felt-tip pen and outline the ornate patterns.
Use a red marker to outline the hearts.

If the pages of your personal diary are thin, the felt-tip pen's coloring will soak through them. To avoid staining other sheets, place cardboard under the page where the drawing will be applied.

Beautiful pictures

Ideas for LD (pictures that cannot be copied can be printed out and pasted into a diary) bright and colorful pictures are considered the most beautiful.

For drawing in this style, it is better to use paints or art pastels rather than felt-tip pens. Otherwise, the back side of the sheet with the drawing will always be covered in colored spots.

Thin sheets can be deformed by paints. It is better to draw pictures on separate sheets of paper, and after the paints or markers have dried, iron the image on the back side. Then cut out and glue the picture to the diary page.

An example of a bright drawing for a personal diary in the form of a cat sitting on a windowsill and watching space from the window.

What you will need for drawing:

simple pencil;
eraser;
ruler;
white corrector;
art brushes or cotton swabs;
black marker pen.

You will also need watercolor or artistic pastel in 4 colors: blue, light blue, pink, and violet. It will not be possible to make smooth transitions from one color to another using other materials.

How to draw:

You should decide on the height and width of the window. Let the window sill be 7 cm long and the window itself 10 cm high. Use a simple pencil to draw a rectangle with these parameters.
Round the top of the window so that it takes the shape of an arch. From each top corner, step back 1.5 cm down on the sides and closer to the center, along the top line. Connect these points with arcs.
Draw a window frame. Step back 5 mm from the window outline and draw parallel lines along the entire perimeter of the drawing.
Find the center of the window sill and draw a line to the top of the window. Then draw another parallel line so that the thickness of the strip is exactly 5 mm.
From the top of the drawn strip, measure down 3 cm and draw a horizontal line across the entire window. Draw a parallel at the bottom at a distance of 5 mm.

Draw 2 more parts of the window frame 5 mm thick, dividing the upper parts of the window into 2 with these stripes.
Draw a cat sitting on the window. Its back is turned, so you can only draw the silhouette: pointed ears, head, back and hanging tail.
If the background outside the window is painted with artistic pastels, you can crumble crayons of different colors, and then carefully rub the crumbs with cotton swabs. The color should not get on the white window frame and the silhouette of the cat.

Before painting with watercolors, you need to lightly moisten the area to be painted with water so that the shades of paint smoothly transition into each other.

Wait until the paint dries. The drawing painted with pastel should be sprayed with hairspray so that the chalk particles do not fall off and stain your hands.
Use a black marker to outline the window frame and also color the cat.
Use white corrector to draw stars in the sky and short hairs on the cat's back and head.

This drawing is suitable for decorating pages with notes about dreams, thoughts or dreams.

Black and white pictures

Colorless pictures are most often used to decorate pages describing sad memories and stories about bad days, because the black and white style of the drawings reminds of a slight melancholy.

You can draw such pictures with simple pencils, gel and ballpoint pens or black felt-tip pens. You can complement sad inscriptions with images of sad people. For example, draw a girl who covered her face with her hands. For work you will need a simple pencil, an eraser and a black felt-tip pen.

How to draw:

The girl in the picture will be depicted from the waist up. It is necessary to mark the upper line of the drawing and the lower one.
Divide the drawing area in half. This line should be barely visible so that it can be easily erased later.
Use short lines to mark the top of the head, chin, neck and shoulders.
Make a sketch of a round head, mark the line of the shoulders and the position of the arms.
Draw the shape of the hairstyle and clothes. You can draw a wide T-shirt for the girl.
Draw details such as nails, bracelets on hands, stripes and folds on a T-shirt.
Draw the face. Since part of it will be covered by the hands, you can depict only 1 eyebrow and a closed eye with eyelashes.
Design your hair, draw hair bands or braids.
Trace the outline of the drawing with a black felt-tip pen. Where a thin line needs to be drawn, do not press down on the felt-tip pen. Its tip should barely touch the paper.
Color the girl's hair with a simple pencil, and then highlight the strands with a black marker.

You can use a simple pencil to add shadows to give the drawing volume. You need to carefully shade the boundaries of the body and clothing, and also depict the shadow of the hands on the T-shirt. All the strokes should be carefully rubbed with your fingers. The shadows should be applied before the final outline, so as not to accidentally rub off the paint from the felt-tip pen.

Cool pictures

Ideas for LD (pictures that are difficult to draw can be easily transferred to paper if you lean the sheet against the computer screen and trace the picture with a pencil) with cool pictures are suitable for those pages where one section of the diary ends and another begins.

For example, each new month in the diary you can draw pictures that are associated with this time of year. For example, this master class describes the design of the page after which the July entries begin.

What you will need for drawing:

colored pencils;
felt-tip pens;
simple pencil;
eraser;
ruler.

How to draw:

In the center of the sheet, from edge to edge, draw 2 horizontal parallel lines with a simple pencil. The distance between them should be about 5 cm.
Measure the width of the page and divide it by 4. Mark both lines.
Connect these dots with vertical lines.
In each resulting rectangle, draw 1 letter from the word "July". Each symbol should be rounded. You need to try to make sure that the letters do not go beyond the drawn frames, then they will be the same size.
Draw a bunch of cherries above the letters "I" and "U". Both berries should lie on the letters. Draw branches and a leaf.
Draw a cone with 2 ice cream balls behind the letters "Л" and "Ь". The top of the dessert should look melted.
In the upper right corner, draw a sun with rays.
Draw downward-strings below the letters, with various objects tied to the ends that remind you of summer, such as flowers, berries, hearts, and ice cream.
Below that, you can draw a cloud and write “+25 degrees” inside it.

You can color all the elements as you wish. First, you need to shade the drawing with colored pencils, then use felt-tip pens to draw shadows and highlight some areas. Finally, outline the drawing with a black felt-tip pen.

Anime

Drawings in this style are popular and recognizable. Anime characters have large eyes and small facial features. They have angular and voluminous hairstyles, as well as a delicate blush on their cheeks.

Anime drawings can be used to decorate pages of a personal diary with everyday notes and descriptions of different ideas, depicting suitable emotions on the characters' faces. This master class describes step by step a picture of a girl who propped her chin with 2 hands, squinted and dreams of something pleasant.

To draw you will need:

simple pencil;
beige and grey colored pencils;
brown, gray, pink and black marker;
eraser.

How to draw:

Make a sketch with a simple pencil. First, mark the round head, then the shoulders, the position of the arms and the back.
Draw the shape of the hairstyle. The girl's hair is loose, she has thick, long bangs that cover her eyebrows.
Draw a hooded sweater. Draw the sleeves, the hood strings and the large folds.
Work on the smaller details. Draw the fingers, add folds and curves to the sweater. Draw the strands on the bangs and along the entire length of the hair. Add a few curls falling onto the clothes.
Draw the girl's face. Since her eyes are closed, they should be depicted as wide arcs. The inner corners of the eyes should be wider than the outer ones. Above each eye, mark the eyelid.

Even though the eyebrows are hidden by the bangs, in anime style they are still often drawn, right on top of the hair. This technique helps to better display the character's emotions. The girl has highly raised, arched eyebrows.
The nose can be depicted as a short vertical line or a check mark.
The mouth is a thin, inverted arc, as if the girl were smiling with her lips pursed.
The blush on the cheeks should be depicted in the form of 3 short, slanted strokes.
Draw 3 small hearts to the left of the girl.
Use an eraser to remove all unnecessary lines.
Shade the girl's face with a beige pencil. Where the hair goes over the face, draw a shadow, pressing a little harder on the pencil.
Shade the blouse with a grey pencil. Highlight the shadows on the blouse with strokes using a grey felt-tip pen.
Use a brown marker to color the hair. The strokes should be in the same direction as the hair growth.
Use a pink marker to color the hearts and outline the lines on the girl’s cheeks to simulate a blush.
Use a black marker to outline the entire drawing.

The outline can be done not only in black, but also in color. To do this, you will need to select markers that will leave lines 2 tones darker than the main color of the picture or any part of it. For example, the girl's face and hands can be outlined in light brown, and her hair in dark brown.

Drawings by cells

Drawings on cells can be divided into 2 types: patterns and other images. Patterns drawn on cells often decorate the margins of notebooks.

How to draw a braid pattern:

You need to draw a short vertical line across 2 cells.
Move to the right or left by 1 cell and draw another line, parallel to the previous one.
Make 3 lines.
Move down 1 cell and repeat all actions from points 1 to 3.
The number of rows with 3 lines depends on the desired length of the drawn braid.
Now you need to go back to the 1st row itself and draw a diagonal line from the end of the 1st strip to the 2nd strip of the next row.
From strip 2 of row 1, draw stripes to the top of strip 3 of row 2.
From the tip of the last strip in the top row, draw a line to the top of the 1st strip in the 2nd row. The strip needs to be interrupted when it intersects with the already drawn line, then offer it.

You need to draw diagonal stripes to the end of the braid. The resulting strands can be colored with markers in different colors. Contrasting and monochrome shades look good in such patterns. You can draw any icon or figure on the cells. You will get the effect of a pixel image.

How to draw a heart:

Using a thin pencil line, draw a square that is 15 cells wide and 12 cells high.
You need to count the cells from left to right. In the 1st bottom row, color the 8th cell with a black felt-tip pen.
In the 2nd row, count 6 cells, paint the 7th cell black, the next one red, then paint another one black.
In the 3rd row, skip 5 cells, paint 6 black, the next 3 should be red. After the red ones, make 1 black cell.
Skip 4 cells, 1 black, 5 red, 1 black again.
Count 3 cells, make 1 black, paint 7 red, then paint 1 cell black.
Skip 2 cells, 1 black, 9 red and 1 black.
Skip 1 cell, paint 3 cells black, 11 red, then paint 1 cell black.
Color the cells in the next 2 rows in the same way as in point #9.
Skip 1 cell, 1 black, 5 red, 1 black. 5 red and 1 more black cell.
Count 2 cells, paint the 3rd cell black, the next 3 red, the next cell must be black. Skip 1 cell, paint 1 black, 3 red and 1 black.
Count 3 cells, paint the next 3 cells black, skip 3 cells, paint 3 more black.

Pixel pictures can be used to decorate the margins of a personal diary or to supplement daily entries. Such drawings look good in the corners of pages, as well as on spreads.

Animals

Ideas for LD (animal drawings can be simple or complex depending on the artistic skills of the person keeping the diary) with images of animals are the most popular.

Animals in diaries are rarely drawn realistically, more often they are given a cartoonish look, drawing big cute eyes and disproportionate bodies. For example, consider the image of a cute giraffe, which has spots in the form of hearts.

To draw you will need:

simple pencil;
eraser;
yellow pencil;
yellow, black and brown marker.

How to draw:

Use a simple pencil to outline the oval shape of the head.
Finish drawing the neck, which should widen slightly closer to the body.
Draw a short oval body and 4 rounded legs.
Finish drawing the giraffe's ears and horns, mark the hooves and draw an arc across the lower part of the muzzle.
Draw a tail with a tassel.
Add large, round eyes. Inside each eye, mark highlights.
Draw the cones of the spots in the shape of hearts.
Use a yellow pencil to color the lower part of the muzzle, the part under the arch.
Use a yellow marker to color the giraffe's body, avoiding the spots.
Use a brown marker to color the spots, hooves and horns. Outline the arc on the muzzle.
Use a black marker to outline the drawing, outline all the spots, draw the tail and color the eyes.

When coloring a picture with markers, you should always start with light shades. If you first color the giraffe's spots, you can accidentally stain the tip of the yellow marker with brown pigment. All subsequent strokes will be dirty.

Flowers

Ideas for LD (it is better to draw pictures with floral patterns using felt-tip pens and paints, then they will be brighter than pencil ones) pictures with images of flowers can be used to design the main pages and additional spreads in the diary.

Floral patterns also look beautiful in the corners of sheets. For example, you can look at a step-by-step master class with drawing sakura flowers.

To work you will need:

simple pencil;
eraser;
light pink and hot pink marker;
light green and dark green marker;
brown pencil and brown marker;
yellow marker;
black pen.

How to draw:

Use a simple pencil to draw a tree branch with 3 small branches. Draw the branches with smooth lines, you can add bumps and knots.
On each branch, mark 3 thin branches.
At the ends of these branches draw flowers with 5 rounded petals.
You can draw branches with unopened buds.
Draw leaves next to the flowers.
Mark the stamens inside each inflorescence.
Finish drawing a few of the torn off petals.
Erase extra lines with an eraser.
Use a brown pencil to color the branches.
Use a yellow marker to color the stamens.
Use a light pink marker to shade the petals, drawing lines from the center, without touching the stamens.
Paint the buds with dark pink and outline each flower.
Use a light green marker to color all the leaves, then outline them with dark green.
Use a brown marker to outline the branches.
Outline the entire drawing with a black pen.

It is better to outline the drawn flowers with a black pen than with a felt-tip pen. This way the lines will be thinner and more elegant.

Modern ideas for girls

Thematic drawings can be used to decorate individual pages. For example, a list of your favorite music can be written on the display of a drawn smartphone or player. The list of films you plan to watch can be decorated with an image of a cup of popcorn.

Painted page spreads at the beginning of each section of the diary look beautiful. For example, the beginning of the section describing plans and ideas can be decorated with 2 pink pages with an image of a whale floating in the air.

Chaotic designs made in one color are popular. For example, you can devote 2 pages to pink pictures and draw there many small images with different objects of the same color: a donut, a bow, nail polish, ice cream, and so on.

Ideas for drawings for LD can be different, and you can implement them to your taste. The subject of the pictures can coincide with the meaning of what is written or simply decorate the page. In order for the drawings to be beautiful and not show through from the back of the sheets, you need to choose a notebook with thick pages in advance.
