Luntik is one of the most unusual fairy tale characters, which is of particular interest to children. It is not so easy to draw, but if you explain to the child the features of the proportions of his body, even a toddler can cope with this drawing.
What you need to consider when drawing Luntik, how to display the character's features in the drawing
Luntik is a fairy-tale character who flew to Earth from the Moon.
Its unusual appearance has a number of features:
- Luntik has a big head and 4 ears;
- Luntik's eyes are semicircular in shape, and there are round pigment spots on his face;
- instead of a neck and Luntik a wide collar;
- the body is wide and oval, and covered with hair;
- Luntik has 4 fingers on his hands and 3 on his feet;
What do you need for drawing?
You can draw Luntik with colored pencils, felt-tip pens or special crayons for drawing. Pencils come in different types of softness, and the shape of their shell can be round or faceted. For preschool children, it is better to buy a set of medium-soft pencils with a 3-sided shell. Such pencils are firmly held in the child's hand, and sufficient softness of the lead does not require strong pressure on the pencil while drawing. The following table shows the various characteristics that you should pay attention to when buying pencils:
Property | Type | Description |
Form | Round, 6-sided, 3-sided | The multifaceted shape helps children to hold the pencil better in their hand. Round pencils are used by experienced artists. |
Softness | B, HB, H | Soft pencils (B) are used to color the background parts of the drawing. Medium-soft pencils (HB) are used in everyday drawing. They are used to draw the outlines of drawings and to color individual parts of the drawing. Hard (H) pencils are used for drawing complex parts of a drawing. |
Rod thickness | 2mm, 3mm, 5mm | Pencils with a thick lead (3-5 mm) are suitable for children from 3 to 6 years old, since their strength protects the pencil from frequent breakage.
For school-age children, you can buy pencils with a thin lead (2 mm) |
According to the type of material in the lead, colored pencils are divided into:
- classic (the lead material consists of white clay and colored pigments);
- pastels (the pencil contains linseed oil, which smooths out the lines when drawing, reducing the sharpness of the strokes of the drawing);
- wax (the lead contains wax, which makes the pencil glide across the paper easier, and the lead itself does not require constant sharpening);
- watercolor (the lead material contains various water-based emulsions, which means that such pencils can be used instead of watercolor paints).
For drawing simple pictures, it is better to use pencils with a classic lead composition, since such pencils allow you to qualitatively apply both thin and thick lines to paper.
When choosing a drawing album, you should pay attention to the way its sheets are attached. To ensure that the surface of the sheet is always smooth, it is recommended to use albums with spiral sheet attachment.
Step-by-step instructions for drawing Luntik with a pencil
Luntik is a pencil drawing, for which you need to know the features of the character's body structure. To complete the drawing, you need to consistently draw the main parts of Luntik, and then color them.
Head
The process of drawing Luntik's head consists of the following stages:
- Draw an auxiliary circle with a diameter of 5 cm, and then through the center of this circle draw auxiliary horizontal and vertical lines that will divide it into 4 parts.
- Draw the outline of the head, which should be pear-shaped. The upper part of the outline should pass through the upper part of the circle, and the lower part of the outline should pass through the lower part of the circle. In this case, the expansion of the head outline should start from the extreme points of the horizontal auxiliary line. The wide part of the head should extend beyond the left and right lower parts of the auxiliary circle by about 0.5 cm. The narrow part of the head should be located above the horizontal auxiliary line and should deviate from the left and right upper parts of the circle inward by about 0.5 cm.
- At the level of the horizontal auxiliary line, draw 2 eyes in the form of semicircles directed at an angle of 45° to the vertical auxiliary line. Then draw round pupils inside the eyes, the size of which should be 2 times smaller than the size of the eyes, and inside the pupils, draw highlights in the form of two small circles. Then you need to paint the pupils black, while leaving the highlights unpainted.
- Above the eyes, draw eyebrows in the form of small grains, and under the eyes, below the center of the head contour, draw nostrils in the form of the same grains, but thinner and more elongated. The nostrils should be located at an angle of 45 ° to the vertical auxiliary line. Then draw a mouth in the form of a smile, for which it is necessary to draw a wavy line under the nostrils (Luntik's upper lip), and then from the left end of this line draw an arc (Luntik's lower lip), which should connect with the right end of this line. Then it is necessary to draw the tongue, for which it is necessary to draw a small horizontal arc in the area of Luntik's lower lip.
- Color the tongue red and color the inside of the mouth black.
- Erase the auxiliary lines with an eraser.
- On the forehead, draw a pigment spot in the form of a circle, the size of which should correspond to the size of the eyes. Then, on the edge of both cheeks, draw pigment spots in the form of semicircles of the same size.
- Starting from the top left part of the head, draw 2 left ears in the form of large petals, the size of which should be 2 times larger than the size of the eyes.
- Starting from the top right part of the head, draw 2 right ears in the form of large petals, the size of which should be 2 times larger than the size of the eyes.
- Inside the two upper ears, under the upper part of their outline, draw an additional line parallel to the upper part of the outline. Then, inside the two lower ears, above the lower part of their outline, draw an additional line parallel to the lower part of the outline. This will add volume to the ears.
- Color the edges of the ears formed by the additional lines blue. Then color the inside of the ears pink.
Torso
Luntik has a wide body and a collar instead of a neck.
The body is drawn as follows:
- Draw a wide curved semi-oval under the head, which should fit tightly to it, and its lower line should be parallel to the lower part of the head. The height of the semi-oval should correspond to the size of the eyes, and its width should be slightly less than the width of the head. Then you need to erase the middle part of the lower line of this oval with an eraser. As a result, you will get Luntik's collar.
- Fix the pencil in the middle of the outline of the left part of the collar, and then draw the outline of the body in the form of a pear. The right part of the outline of the body should connect with the middle of the outline of the right part of the collar.
- In the center of the body, draw a large circle, and above it, 5 small circles located along the top of the circle's outline.
Arms and legs
Luntik has long arms and short legs.
To draw them you need to do the following steps:
- Fix the pencil on the left side of the collar outline, and then draw a line down parallel to the left side of the body. The line should be slightly shorter than the body. The result will be Luntik's left arm.
- Fix the pencil on the right side of the collar outline, and then draw a line down parallel to the right side of the body. The line should be slightly shorter than the body. The result will be Luntik's right arm.
- Draw 4 fingers at the bottom of each hand in the form of small ovals, located vertically close to each other.
- Draw 2 short legs in the form of rectangles under the body, and under them draw feet in the form of ovals, elongated horizontally.
- Divide the inside of the feet into 3 equal parts using two vertical notches. This will create the toes.
Luntik pencil drawing - Paint the head, arms and body pink, leaving the fingers unpainted.
- Color the pigment spots and spots on the belly purple.
- Color the feet purple, leaving the toes uncolored.
