Any drawings intended for copying with a pencil are recommended to be selected based on the artist's level of preparation. If a person has no previous experience in creating images on paper, the most suitable option for him will be funny pictures, which will be not only easy and fast to copy, but also interesting.
Having familiarized themselves with the recommendations of professional artists, as well as strictly following the algorithm for copying the desired drawing, a beginner will receive positive emotions both from the creative process itself and from the result of their work.
Recommendations for beginners
Cool pencil drawings (for copying you can use the printed source files or use them as a reference by displaying them on your laptop or smartphone) should be created taking into account the basic recommendations formulated by professional artists:
Even the simplest pictures should be copied in several approaches. A beginner working for a long time will provoke his attention to be scattered. If a person starts to ignore the details of the original, it will not be possible to recreate the image exactly.
Cool pencil drawings can be easily created if you master the basics of simple drawings
Abstract yourself from thoughts about what exactly is being copied now. It is necessary to focus on the repetition of strokes and lines, ignoring the holistic composition. This approach will help to connect the right hemisphere, responsible for abstract creative thinking.
Before starting work, take a look at the overall composition, remember important accents, pay attention to the professional techniques used by the artist. Placement of shadows, hatching method.
You should start copying by indicating the scale of the image. The picture should be redrew "from the general to the details."
Ensure that the outline of the drawing is clearly drawn and neat. When looking at the picture for the first time, the viewer's attention is immediately drawn to the outline and general outlines, after which it is dispersed to the details of the image.
When the drawings become more similar to the originals, you should connect your imagination. You can supplement the resulting pictures with both minor details and a radical change in the main idea of the composition, provided that it is present.
If parents decide to teach their child to copy, then it will be important for them:
Give free rein to children's imagination. Before practicing a systematic approach to teaching a child to copy, it is worth letting him try his hand at it on his own, simply by providing the growing artist with pencils and sheets of paper.
Don't give strict rules. During the creative process, parents should only guide the little creator, suggesting, for example, to redraw a specific geometric figure or key lines of the original.
Gently compare the result of the child's work with the original. When analyzing the result of the work, it is important to emphasize what the child succeeded in. What the young artist could not redraw, he will notice on his own.
Regularly invite your child to draw. Frequent attempts to depict something on paper will not only instill a love of creativity in the child, but will also help him to relieve his nervous system.
Easy pictures for beginners to copy
Cool pencil drawings will turn out faster if the beginning artist follows generally accepted algorithms when creating them.
By the way, for copying it is better to choose sources made in different styles each time.
Arts for copying
Cool art that beginners often use for pencil copying can be either meaningless beautiful pictures or compositions with a deep idea.
Variant of art for sketching
Algorithm for its creation
Draw a circle without lifting the pencil from the surface of the sheet. Do not connect the ends of the line used to create the geometric figure.
From the extreme points, draw diagonal lines of equal length, directed away from each other (length 1-3 cm, depending on the scale of the art being redrawn).
Connect the straight lines with a wavy line (tail).
In the area of the edge of the geometric figure, farthest from the tail, place a small contrasting dot (eye).
Step back 3-5 cm and place a second point, located at the same level as the first.
Between the dots, draw a semicircle (mouth), no more than 3-7 cm long (depending on the scale of the picture).
Stepping back 2-3 cm from the eye, located closer to the tail, draw a small elongated semicircle (fin).
On the edge farthest from the tail, approximately at the level of the already drawn fin, draw a second one, equal in size to the first.
Step back 7-10 cm from the mouth and draw a triangle - a horn (the base of the triangle should be located inside the main circle, and its upper point should go beyond the figure).
Color the art blue or any other color.
Draw a triangle with its base slightly diagonal.
Round off the side edges and the top point of the geometric figure.
Step back 2-3 cm from the top of the triangle to the right and left, and draw another small triangle (ears).
Make the ears rounded by analogy with the transformation of the basic geometric figure.
At the base of the large triangle on the right, draw a small semicircle (tail). Shade.
At the top of the main triangle, 3-7 cm from the edge, draw 2 small contrasting dots (eyes) at the same distance from each other.
Draw 3 straight lines of different sizes (whiskers) on both sides under the drawn eyes.
Funny pictures
Cool pictures copied from the originals can be used to decorate a personal diary, planner, or, after preliminary transferring the resulting images, they can be used as wall decorations.

Algorithm for its creation
Draw a circle with wavy lines as its edges.
Step back 5-10 cm to the right, depending on the scale of the final image, and draw the same circle, identical in size to the first.
In the central part of the first cloud, draw 2 small dots and a semicircle under them (eyes and a smiling mouth).
In the center of the second cloud place 2 contrasting dots and a straight line (eyes and an indifferent mouth).
Connect 2 clouds with an arc.
Draw 5 more similar arcs, larger in size, above the resulting semicircle.
Color the rainbow in bright colors.
Draw 4 hearts of different sizes under the smiling cloud.
Under the indifferent cloud, depict 3 lightning bolts using zigzag lines.
Color the lightning and hearts in the colors you choose.
Draw a semicircle extended upwards.
Connect the bottom points of the semicircle with a wavy line.
From the middle part of the sides, draw small semicircles (arms).
At the level of the arms, inside the main figure, draw a semicircle, stretched downwards. Connect its upper points. Color the resulting mouth in black and pink, making it believable.
Step back from the resulting mouth by 3-7 cm upwards, at the same distance, draw 2 arcs with 2-3 strokes at the ends (eyes with eyelashes).
Draw small semicircles (eyebrows) above the eyes.
On the upper edge of the main figure, on the left side, draw 2 medium circles and connect them with a small one (bow). Color in a bright color.
Finish the main figure with shadows and half-shadows (the color of the pencil used for shading should be the same as when coloring the bow).
About love
Cool pencil drawings for copying on the theme of love, can be used both for decorating notebooks and for greeting cards for your other half.

Algorithm for its creation
Draw 2 straight lines, placing them perpendicular to each other.
Using the intersection point of the lines as a guide, draw a heart. The resulting figure should be even.
Erase minor lines.
Draw a small circle in the center of the heart.
Draw a triangle at the bottom edge of the circle.
Erase the lower border of the circle. Select the contours of the resulting keyhole.
Determine the middle of the upper borders of the protruding areas of the main figure. Connect the middle points with a semicircle.
Draw another semicircle, slightly larger in size than the first (the handle of the lock).
Draw 2 diagonal lines next to the heart.
Connect the top and bottom points of the lines to form a rectangle.
Draw a small heart above one of the connecting lines.

If desired, apply shadows and half-shadows.
Draw a heart of the correct shape.
Color it with a red or pink pencil.
Draw a small triangle (balloon valve) at the bottom of the heart.
Draw a curve (balloon string) downwards from the triangle. The curves of the line should form the inscription "I love you", but at the same time have a natural appearance.
Black and white
Cool pencil drawings for copying do not always require the use of color. Black and white images look as impressive as their contrasting counterparts, but are more versatile, as they are suitable for application anywhere.
Black and white picture option for copying
Algorithm for its creation
Draw a thick straight line. Make its outlines as prominent as possible.
Place a circle on top of the shown line so that its lower edge touches the line.
At the top edge of the circle, 2-4 cm from the center, draw a horizontally elongated semicircle.
From the semicircle draw a line curved in random places (the fuse of the bomb).
Draw a second line that exactly matches the curve and direction of the first.
Connect the end points of the lines.
On the connecting line, depict a 5-pointed star (imitation of fire on the wick).
At the right side edge of the circle, inside the main figure, place a small oval, and under it an elongated semicircle, the shape of which resembles a moon.
Add shadows or shading if desired.
Draw an oval, the edges of which will be wavy lines with smooth curves. The base of the cloud should be straight.
Apply shadows to the side edges of the cloud.
Determine the middle part of the inner surface of the cloud.
Place 2 semicircles at the same distance from each other, the bend of which will be directed in opposite directions (eyes).

Draw elongated semicircles (ears) to the right and left of the side borders of the face.
From the lower boundary of the circle, draw 2 parallel lines (neck).
Stepping back 1–3 cm upward from the chin (the specific distance is determined taking into account the scale of the overall composition), draw a short line with a small smooth bend (the mouth).
Finish drawing the pupils.
Add hair and jewelry to the resulting image of the girl, giving it a more realistic look.
Beginners are recommended to use a simple pencil to copy cool pictures from the Internet. With the help of such a "working tool", following the generally accepted algorithms for transferring a picture from the source, a novice artist will be able to decorate his notebook, add decorative elements to his home or simply relax, completely immersing himself in the creative process.
