Cool drawings for copying by cells

Drawings for copying can also be made in cells. This kind of creativity is called pixel art. It is suitable even for boys who have no drawing skills at all. All you need for the work is a pencil and a sheet of paper in a cell. If you want to add color to the drawing, you can color it with pencils or felt-tip pens.

Experts recommend this activity for all children, not just those who can’t draw.

Pixel art promotes:

• development of creative thinking;
• concentration and logic;
• improving coordination of movements when writing.

It is necessary to start drawing by cells with light drawings containing a small number of elements. You should carefully count the cells on the diagram-drawing and accordingly transfer them to your sheet.

The following options are suitable for getting acquainted with this type of creativity:

If you add color to the pictures, they will be even more beautiful, and the work will be more exciting. Boys are close to the theme of cartoon characters and computer games. For lovers of the auto theme, there is a wide variety of pictures depicting different brands of cars and cartoon characters.

Often older boys are even more fascinated by pixel art. It allows you to create not only children's, but also more compositional spectacular drawings with a large number of cells on different topics.

Cool

Drawings for boys to copy can be on different topics, but one of the most favorite is a humorous theme. The advantage of funny pictures for copying is that it is thanks to them that many children have a desire to draw. They want to reproduce funny drawings and show them to their family and friends.

Not only girls but also boys are fascinated by the cat theme. But in this case, cute gentle pets turn into cheerful and mischievous cats, for example, Simon.

The following picture shows how to draw a cool cat in 6 steps.

To portray Simon you need:

1. Draw a straight line.

Cartoon characters are especially popular among preschool and primary school age boys.

Anime

This separate layer in the art of cinematography is loved by both children and teenagers. Most of the pictures are easy to copy and are suitable for beginner artists. The only part of the body that the anime hero is very different from the usual one is the head.

The head characteristic of this style has:

• acute forms;
• large eyes with expressive pupils and highlights;
• small nose and normal mouth;
• hair in the form of long, sharp and uneven triangles.

The anime character's body is no different from the usual one.

One of the most difficult tasks when drawing an anime character is drawing the eyes. They can be of different shapes, but in any case – with realistic emotions. It should be noted that in drawings of this style, eyebrows are very often drawn over strands of hair.

While working, you can use the following step-by-step scheme for drawing eyes:

The anime style is so universal that not only people but also animals look original in it.

A very popular activity has become the transformation of various cartoon characters into anime style. For example, such a character as Super Cat from the cartoon "Ladybug and Super Cat" looks interesting in a new role.

All that was needed to do was to sharpen the shape of the face, reduce the nose and mouth, and enlarge the eyes, adding a few expressive highlights for realism. The strands of hair also became characteristic of the new style.

Animals

Animals can be drawn in different ways: make them as realistic as possible, fairy-tale-like or cartoonish. It all depends on your desire and ability to draw.

For example, there are several ways to depict a fox. The first method is suitable for those who are just learning this skill. The drawing is based on several geometric figures of an oval shape with a slight sharpness. The elements should be placed correctly, and then the extra contours should be removed.

The second method is also easy to draw an animal. As in the previous version, the picture is built on several geometric figures. But here you need some experience in drawing to correctly convey the proportions of the body and skillfully connect the details together so that the fox looks realistic.

Any drawing consists of geometric shapes. You just need to carefully look at the image before you start copying, see and "break" it into these elements. And then, depending on your artistic skills, connect the parts and give the picture integrity. The following table provides simple and complex animal drawing patterns.

Unicorn

Drawings of boys' unicorns differ from girls'. They have a minimum of "cuteness" and rainbow mood.

You can draw a unicorn in the following way:

1. Draw a vertical curved line for the neck and add an oval shape to the head.
2. Finish drawing the animal's mane, pointed horn and other details of the head.
3. Depict a raised leg bent at the knee.
4. Draw a smooth line along the back and round the stomach.
5. Draw the hind leg and tail.

If you spend more time on this activity, you will get the following beautiful unicorn:

1. First, you need to outline 2 circles for the head and body, add lines for the legs, tail and horns.
2. Then, on the lines of the legs, in the places where they bend, you should place small circles. This will help to convey the proportions more accurately.
3. Give the body shape, highlighting the animal's muscles. Erase unnecessary sketch lines.
4. Color the unicorn, carefully shading the dark areas. Make the tail and mane from many thin smooth lines.

Pictures "space"

Drawings for boys to copy are often created on a space theme. Easy but original drawings help children relax, immersing themselves in star systems, endless galaxies and planetary worlds.

You can depict space in just a few steps:

1. Draw the orbits. Their shape is an ellipse. But for a child's drawing it would be forgivable if circles are drawn. They can be made using a compass or by tracing suitable round objects. The central element must be highlighted, as it will be the Sun. It should be given rays of different sizes.
   
2. Draw round planets of different sizes: each in its own orbit. Mercury is located near the Sun itself, then Venus, Earth is in the third orbit, Mars is in the fourth. Then come Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.
3. The surfaces of the planets are different, so we should add concentric circles for the Sun, continents for the Earth, a ring for Saturn, and semicircles of shadow for the other planets.
4. Color space objects.

If you managed to "master" space with a pencil, you can try to color the image with paints. The result will be impressive. Easy drawings for copying will help not only to develop artistic skills, but also to relax, have a rest with benefit. You only need to choose pictures for boys from any subject and complexity corresponding to their skills.
