Easy drawings on a free theme, it is most convenient to create with a pencil, especially if a child plans to study fine art. Children, due to the peculiarities of their mental development, can change the idea of the final image in the course of creative activity.
In this case, already drawn elements will be easy to adjust without causing negative emotions towards the work process in the young artist.
Simple pencil drawings
Drawings on a free theme (it is more convenient to use a pencil not only to draw the main elements of the image, but also to apply shadows, do hatching or shading) for a young artist are a way to:
release accumulated negative emotions;
relax both physically and mentally;
Free-theme pencil drawings are not only a way of self-expression, but also an opportunity to develop creative abilities.
develop your creative abilities;
illustrate a difficult situation that worries him (in the process of creating such drawings, the child often finds a solution to the problem that has arisen in his life);
become more attentive, careful and assiduous (skills necessary for further education within the walls of an educational institution).
Flowers
Flowers drawn in pencil can be colored or black and white, depending on the emotional state of the growing artist:
Example of flower drawing
Stages of the creative process
Draw a semicircle with a strong bend towards the bottom of the working plane.
Adjust the bottom edge of the semicircle, making it slightly curved upward in the middle.
From the middle point, draw 2 lines with which you need to connect the center of the semicircle with its edges.
Between the resulting figures, draw another pointed semicircle, the ends of which are located at the same level, on the sides of the previously drawn details.
From the center of the main semicircle, draw 2 equal parallel lines (stem) downwards.
From the base, draw elongated ovals with pointed ends (leaves).
Add relief texture to the bud and leaves.
Draw a semicircle with a deep downward curve.
Connect the extreme points of the line with a zigzag, thus creating 3 triangles without bottom edges.
Above each corner of the triangle, draw an elongated oval with a pointed end. The corners of the ovals should be directed in the same directions as the corners of the triangles.
In the central elongated oval, draw a figure whose sides repeat their outer borders.
From the middle of the main semicircle, draw 2 equal parallel lines (stem) downwards.
From the point where the stem connects to the flower bud, draw leaves pointing downwards.
Draw a semicircle around the corner of the middle triangle.
Along the length of the semicircle, draw 4-5 short straight lines with small circles at the ends.
Draw a small, even circle.
From its lower border, draw 2 equal, slightly curved lines (stem).
On each of the 4 sides of the working plane, draw 1 elongated oval (chamomile petals) from the border of the circle.
Fill the space between the main petals with figures of equal size, placing them as close to each other as possible.
In the middle of the stem, draw the flower leaves pointing upwards.
Animals
Free-theme pencil drawings made by schoolchildren in most cases represent images of animals.
Child psychologists claim that the type of animals a child draws and how they draw them can indicate whether he or she has mental problems or difficulties communicating with peers.
Animal drawing example
Stages of the creative process
Draw a small, even circle.
Divide the circle into 2 equal parts using a semicircle drawn horizontally (inside the main figure).
Erase the bottom of the circle.
Draw the bottom border of the semicircle, thus creating an oval.
From the lower border of the oval, draw the body of the cow (an oval with curved borders and 2 rectangles at the bottom).
Using 4 curved lines, draw the cow's front legs.
On the sides of the key figure (the original circle) draw angular semicircles (the animal's ears).
Draw small curved triangles (horns) above the ears.
Finish drawing the animal's face (eyes, nostrils).
In the area of the left hind leg, draw 2 curved lines connected by a zigzag (the cow’s tail).
Draw a small, even circle.
Inside the main circle, draw 2 small circles (eyes).
Outline the eyes with ovals that are twice the size of the inner shapes.
Complete the nose and mouth of the panda.
From the upper border of the circle, draw 2 semicircles (ears).
From the lower border of the semicircle, draw 2 elongated ovals (paws).
Paint ¼ of the eye surface (pupil).
Connect the point under the right ear and the middle of the side border of the right paw, draw a semicircle extended to the right (body).
At the bottom, draw an oval, slightly elongated to the left at the bottom (the panda's hind leg).
Draw the tail from the back line forming the body.
Draw an even circle.
At the bottom border inside the circle, draw another circle, smaller in size, but so that the bottom borders of the circles are common.
On the inner circle, draw 2 small triangles (ears) at the top.
Finish drawing the cat's face (eyes, nose, mouth, whiskers).
On the right side, draw 2 curved lines to the point opposite the left border, connected by a semicircle (tail).
Birds
If a child, when given an assignment to draw on a free theme, decides to depict birds, most likely he is trying to separate himself from his parents, believing that in this way he can get rid of the obsessive attention and total control of adults.
Such emotions may be caused by a recent conflict in the family or be the result of accumulated dissatisfaction with the fact that adults often interfere in the child’s life.
Example of drawing of birds
Stages of the creative process
Draw a small, even circle (the bird's head).
From its left border, draw an elongated oval to the left, one side of which should be inside the circle (the body of the bird).

As if continuing to draw one of the sides of the oval, draw a straight line on the right.
From a straight line make an elongated narrow triangle (beak).
Draw an elongated pointed oval on the side of the outer side of the oval so that its upper edge is slightly curved downwards (wing).
Next to the large wing, draw a small triangle (the second wing, located further than the main figure).
At the bottom of the oval, on the outside, draw a rectangle (tail).
Add detail to the image (for example, draw the bird's plumage, pupils, tail, and so on).
Draw a small triangle without a base so that its right side is approximately twice as long as the left.
Draw a small triangle on the right border, placing it horizontally (beak). Apply hatching.
From the extreme point of the beak, draw a semicircle downwards.

Drawings on a free theme
Schoolchildren can also be offered to create drawings on a free theme. With the help of a pencil and a sheet of paper, teenagers will be able to get rid of stress and reveal their talents.
4-5-6 grade
For students in grades 4-5-6, creating images will be relevant:
Example of a drawing for students in grades 4-5-6
Stages of the creative process
Draw 2 semicircles, placing them vertically opposite each other.
Connect the upper points of the lines into a corner, and the lower points using a horizontal line (rocket body).
The interior of the rocket is divided into 3 zones using 2 horizontal lines (the middle is the largest, the top is the middle, and the bottom is the smallest).
Draw a small, even circle inside the middle area.
Draw another circle inside it (porthole).
Step back 3-4 cm from the circle and draw 2 vertical lines extending beyond the previously drawn body.
On the side of the semicircles, closer to the bottom edge, using 4 curved lines (2 on each side), draw the details of the rocket.
Draw a rectangle.
Adjust the top border of the rectangle, sharpening it in the center, lowering the intersection point of the lines down.
Above the rectangle, draw a triangle without a bottom border so that it is located close to the main figure.
Draw 2 identical even circles inside the rectangle.
Between them, at the bottom, draw a small semicircle curved downwards (mouth).
Draw 2 circles inside the circles (one larger, one smaller – pupils).
Color the inside of the circles with a pencil, leaving the shapes inside white.
7-8 grade
For older children it will be interesting to draw:
Example of a drawing for students in grades 7-8
Stages of the creative process
Draw a straight line so that its right edge is curved downwards.
Continue the back part of the straight line by bending it upwards and then downwards.
Taking the right end of the line as the starting point, draw a horizontal line.
Fill the distance between the end points of the image with an elongated rectangle, placing it diagonally.
Connect the parts with a horizontal line.
Detail the image (turbines, tail, windows, pilot's window and door to the plane)
Cover the semicircle with a triangle without a bottom edge, slightly shifting it to the left.
Taking the triangle by the lower border, draw the hairstyle (long wavy hair).
Step back 1 cm from the semicircle and draw a rounded oval (body).
Draw straight lines (schematically depicting the girl’s arms) on the sides of the oval.
Draw a spiral line from the top border of the working plane to the bottom so that it passes through the already created image, but does not cover it.
Creating pencil drawings is not only fun for children, but also useful for their development. By allowing schoolchildren to work on images on a free theme, adults give the younger generation the opportunity to discover their talents and believe in their own strengths.
In addition, based on the pictures drawn by children, it is possible to draw conclusions about the emotional state of a particular child, which will make it possible to take timely measures to eliminate depressive thoughts, and also improve the overall mental state of the little person.
