The boar is one cartoon series characters "The Lion King: Timon and Pumbaa". A bright cartoon that tells about the adventures of friends, suitable for children of all ages. You can draw this cartoon character with simple pencils, paints or felt-tip pens.
Easy drawing with a simple pencil
Boar (drawing for children in pencil) - This is a rather complex character, which is suitable for working with children from 6 years old. Gradually, you can move from working with cartoon characters to drawing a real animal.
Pencils, paper and supplies
To draw a boar you will need:
- eraser;
- a sheet of white paper;
- sharpener;
- simple pencil.
Later, the drawing made with a simple pencil can be used as a template for drawing with colored pencils or paints.
Step by step process of execution
Using the following table with step-by-step actions and photos, you can draw a cartoon character:
| What is required at this stage | Description of the stage | Image |
| A sheet of paper, a simple pencil | First, you need to draw 2 ovals on a clean sheet of paper. The location and approximate shape of the figures can be seen in the picture. |  |
| Simple pencil | At the bottom of the figure, draw 2 curved rectangles that will represent the nearest legs. Additional figures should go into the area of the rectangle, overlapping each other. At the top, you need to create a bend - as shown in the picture. It is necessary for drawing the heel. |  |
| Simple pencil | Draw the far legs. It is important that the figures only touch at points, but do not overlap.
As you can see in the image, they will be slightly smaller than the nearby legs. This is affected by the position of the figure. |  |
| Simple pencil, drawing | In the place where the upper curve of the snout begins, draw 2 small ovals - future eyes. They will also be different in size: the near one is slightly larger, the far one is smaller.
On the upper oval, before reaching the bend, you need to draw a pair of ears. They look like small leaves and are drawn accordingly. |  |
| Drawing, simple pencil, sharpener | When the main elements are ready, you can start drawing small details. To make the drawing neat, you need to work lightly with the external details so that you can correct them without leaving any traces if possible. The internal parts need to be drawn with a sharp pencil.
First, you need to detail the ears: draw arched lines that merge with the overall shape at the ends. Not far from the snout, you need to draw an arched line, and from it - a pair of fangs. |  |
| Eraser, drawing, pencil and sharpener | Use an eraser to remove unnecessary parts of the elements. Between the ears, it is necessary to draw a kind of scruff with a pencil. Along the perimeter of the head (from the back), also depict a small stubble.
Draw the tail with curved lines. With a small oval, we will look like a petal - a tassel on the tail. Draw hooves on the legs. Also depict "wrinkles" on the body. Next, detail the snout. Draw the nostrils and the outline itself, and then small folds between the nose and eyes. |  |
When the drawing is ready, you can additionally outline it with a sharp pencil for greater brightness and clarity.
Step by step process of execution
Boar (a drawing for older children - this is no longer a cartoon character, but a wild animal that resembles a pig) can be depicted as follows:
- First, you need to draw a vertical and horizontal line. You can see the approximate location in the picture. Connect the lines with one arched line. From the horizontal line, draw the legs using straight and broken lines. As you can see, the original vertical line will also be part of one of the legs.
- Using smooth lines and transitions, draw the outlines of the animal. It is important to observe the locations and curves of the lines - as shown in the picture.
- When the outlines are ready, you can move on to detailing. On the head, depict an ear, draw an eye. From the extreme point of the arched line, draw 2 wavy lines - the future tail of the boar and detail the snout.
- Instead of an arc, draw the bristles with short, broken lines. In the lower parts of the legs, mark the hooves. Darken the tail. Use an eraser to remove the lines drawn with a simple pencil.
The finished drawing can be colored if desired or left as is.
Drawing with water-based paints
The boar is not only a dangerous predator. The drawing can show the animal as a close relative of the harmless pig. This image is suitable for children aged 2-4.
Pencils, paper and supplies
To draw you will need:
- honey watercolor;
- brushes;
- a glass for brushes and water;
- simple pencil;
- eraser and eraser.
If desired, you can use different paints: gouache, finger paints.
Step by step process of execution
First, you need to draw a template that can then be colored.
Step-by-step process of completing the work:
- First, create the figure of the animal. For this, you can use the diagram that is used to draw a boar with a pencil.
- When the base is ready, proceed to detailing. In the upper left part of the boar's outline, draw the ears. They are similar in shape to pointed ovals or plant leaves.
- The most protruding part of the figure will be a nickel. The entire area does not need to be separated, it is enough to visually measure the middle and draw an oval around it. Inside, mark the nostrils - 2 small black vertical dots.
- Place a round, thick dot near the ears – the animal’s eye.
- Visually draw a vertical line just above the eye to the right side of the drawing. In the place where the line touches the border of the boar's figure, draw a small curved line upwards - the future tail. Draw a brush at the tip.
- Also, the boar needs to draw another pair of legs and separate the hooves.
- At the bottom of the muzzle, not far from the snout, draw an arc and mark the fang.
- Draw strokes in several layers over the entire surface of the back to show the boar's bristles.
- Once the base is ready, you can start coloring the drawing.
- To color the boar, you will need many shades of brown.
- First, you need to pick up a small amount of yellow with a wet brush and distribute the paint over the entire surface of the drawing.
- While the paint is drying, mix a small amount of brown and black. Paint the hooves with this shade. Using a thin brush, draw the mouth line and fill in the eye, outline the tail line.
- Mix brown, yellow and a little white to get a nice light shade of brown. Fill the boar's body and tail with this color.
- Using pink (or a mix of white and red), paint the inside of the boar's ears and snout with a thin brush.
The finished drawing looks like this.
With oil paints
Boar (painting for children with oil paints) is quite difficult to draw. It is best to allow older children to work with oil paints.
Features of working with oil paints:
- it is necessary to prepare a palette, since the paints require mixing to obtain the desired shade;
- It is important to use quality brushes to get a good drawing;
- Oil painting is done on synthetic, cotton or linen canvas;
- to show a child the culture of oil painting, it is recommended to purchase an easel. It not only simplifies the process, but also allows you to identify errors faster;
- A palette knife is a tool used to remove excess paint from a canvas. It can also be used to easily mix several types of paint;
- Solvents are required to work with oil. Turpentine and purified linseed oil are most commonly used. The solvent allows you to identify low-quality paint: if you feel a sharp unpleasant smell when mixing, then there is a high risk of buying bad oil.
You can also purchase turpentine or other strong solvents to easily clean your brushes and palette.
Pencils, paper and supplies
Tools required for work:
- simple pencil;
- eraser and sharpener;
- oil;
- solvents;
- palette;
- canvas;
- brushes and brush accessories;
- palette knife.
To draw a boar, you will need a small set of oil paints. These include: cadmium red, yellow medium, cyan blue, titanium white and mars black. If desired, you can use other paints of the same color.
Step by step process of execution
The drawing will seem very difficult for small children, so it is best to allow younger and older students to work with templates and oil. A real boar is a complex animal that requires drawing many elements.
Stages of work execution:
- First, draw 2 circles of different sizes with a simple pencil. You can use a compass if you wish. Also, connect the figures with a simple pencil so that they form the body of the animal.
- Using rounded lines, mark the boar's muzzle. Using curved lines, mark the legs. You can use the following picture as a guide.
- When the outlines are ready, you can start drawing the muzzle. For this, curved lines are used. It is necessary to draw the folds of skin, snout, tusk and ear.
- Then continue drawing the muzzle: draw the tusk on the other side. Draw the left ear, and between them draw the bristles. Using lines, make the drawing more detailed. Under the ears, you need to draw the folds of skin and eyes.
- The light outlines drawn earlier need to be drawn. On the head and back, draw hair. The lines of the stomach also need to be drawn and continue drawing the legs. It is also necessary to depict the texture of the drawing - using lines to highlight more voluminous parts of the body.
- Outline the legs to the end, form the hooves and continue drawing the back of the boar's body. Draw the tail on the back - as shown in the picture.
- When the drawing is ready, you can remove unnecessary details with an eraser. Also, to make it easier to work with oil on a template, you need to lightly shade the dark parts of the drawing.
- In this case, you need to paint the folds around the eyes, the inside of the animal's legs, the lower part of the belly, the far part of the muzzle and the snout. The result will be a drawing like this:
- When the main part of the work is ready, you can start working with oil.
- The boar is a brown animal. To get the right color, you need to mix blue, yellow and red oil in equal proportions. To do this, you need to use a palette knife and a palette.
- The finished color should be divided into several parts. In one of them, you need to add a little black so that you can use it to indicate the darkened parts, and in the other - white.
- Using the resulting shades, solvents and brushes, it is necessary to paint over the designated areas of color and shadow.
- The tassel on the boar's tail is black, so it will need to be painted over with oil of the corresponding shade. The eyes can also be painted over with black oil.
- Boar tusks have a slightly grey tint, so you can mix a little black and a large amount of white oil.
If desired, you can paint the space around the animal and fill it with various decorative elements. When working with oil, you need to focus on this image.
The boar is the largest representative of its family, it is also called "wild pig". In the wild, animals form flocks, which consist of females and last year's piglets. The average lifespan of a boar is about 10 years, but domesticated animals can live up to 20 years.
Children can learn about the existence of such animals from cartoons. The most striking representative is Pumbaa (which is quite easy to draw yourself), but you can also meet Bebop in the cartoon series "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
