Used by artists unusual drawings for copying, can be not only multi-component images, but also simple sketches. Such sketches can be created with a simple pencil, pen, watercolor and even gouache.
They are often used to decorate notebooks, and when transferred to a large sheet of paper, they can also be used in the decoration of residential and commercial premises.
Unusual drawings
Unusual drawings for copying vary in complexity depending on the tool used by the artist to copy it.
Unusual drawings for copying - an example of a girl with hair
For example, using a simple pencil (in comparison with watercolor or gouache) you can draw a more complex image, since, if necessary, a person can correct errors using an eraser.
With a pencil
The easiest way to draw is with a pencil:

In the upper part of the plane, draw 2 identical triangles at a small distance from each other.
Connect them with a semicircle extended downwards (the cat's body).
At the base of the body, draw 2 small identical triangles (hind legs).

Algorithm for creating it on a sheet of paper
Draw a semicircle with a deep downward curve so that it fills most of the work plane.
Draw 2 small black dots (nostrils) inside the semicircle at the bottom.
Above the nostrils, inside the borders of the semicircle, draw 2 more small identical semicircles, repeating the outlines of the main contour.

Draw an isosceles triangle with its upper corner pointing to the upper right corner of the work plane.
Draw a large rectangle at the base of the triangle, also placing it diagonally.
Inside the rectangle, draw 2 equal circles at the same distance from each other.
Draw 1 triangle on each outer side of the rectangle, one of the edges of which should fit tightly against the side of the rectangle.
From the bottom border of the rectangle, draw a small triangle so that its corner is located on the border of the figure.
Any drawings for further copying should be selected based not only on the interests and individual preferences of the artist, but also on his level of training.
It is a mistake to think that beginners are forced to create only the simplest images and only with a pencil. Even without special skills, a person, with the correct organization of the work process, will be able to draw an unusual picture with markers, colored pencils, watercolors or even gouache.
