Smeshariki are spherical anthropomorphic creatures from the Russian animated series of the same name. The series consists of 7 seasons, which began to appear on screen in mid-May 2004.
Almost all the action takes place in a fictional place called "Chamomile Valley". Only occasionally the events unfold in other places: on a desert island, in the desert, in space or in the mountains.
Hand drawn characters, who, according to the plot, are friends, find themselves in the most unexpected situations, reminiscent of events occurring in real life.
What you need for drawing
Smeshariki (the picture can be drawn with regular colored or simple pencils) are very cute creatures. To draw them, you need to prepare a comfortable space, take care of good lighting and buy the necessary tools for work.
One of the main objects for drawing is a properly selected sheet of paper, thick enough and without a large grain structure. The sheet size should be purchased in A4 or A3 format. Simple pencils of different softness will be required to draw different details.
For beginners you will need:
- H (hard);
- HB (medium);
- 2B (soft).
More experienced artists can buy the softest 9B and the hardest 9H. After sketching a rough outline, colored pencils will come in handy to make the Smeshariki look as natural as possible, like in the TV series in color.
A utility knife may come in handy if you need to trim a piece of paper or cardboard to a specific size.
It is necessary to purchase a sharpener, as this is the safest way to sharpen dull pencils. If the drawing does not work out and unnecessary details appear, then to get rid of them, you will need an eraser.
It is better to choose a regular white eraser, which will not stain the sheet of paper and will not turn the correction area into a dirty colored spot. You may need a ruler to draw straight lines.
Master classes
Once all the necessary tools have been prepared in advance, you can begin creating drawings on the theme of "Smeshariki".
Hedgehog
Hedgehog is one of the main characters of "Smeshariki" and a close friend of Krosh. He is a shy animal who loves to collect cacti and candy wrappers. He has a calm character. Hedgehog is cautious, reasonable and well-mannered. He can be depicted in motion with a slightly raised left leg.
To do this you need:
- Use a pencil to draw a circle and inside it draw a slightly tilted capital letter "A". The lines drawn in the form of a letter will later serve as a guide for the placement of the legs, arms and face of the cartoon character.
