Funny drawings for baby — a great way to cheer him up and get him interested in such a useful activity as drawing. After all, drawing is simply necessary for developing the child’s imagination and fine motor skills. Simple drawings for copying can be used at the initial stages of learning to draw.
Drawing tools
Funny drawings for copying can be drawn with regular pencils. The right set of pencils and paper for drawing determines not only the convenience of the drawing process itself, but also the quality of the created drawings.
Colored pencils have a number of characteristics that you should pay special attention to when purchasing.
The main characteristics of colored pencils are given in the following table:
| Parameter | Variety | Application |
| Form | 6-sided, 3-sided | Recommended for preschool and primary school children. The edges help the child hold the pencil firmly in his hand. |
| Round | Used by experienced artists. | |
| Softness | H (hard) | For outline drawings and blueprints. |
| HB (hard-soft) | For contour drawing and tinting small parts of the drawing. | |
| B (soft) | For coloring pictures and creating background landscapes. | |
| Rod thickness | From 4 to 5 mm | Recommended for preschool children, as the thick lead protects the pencil from frequent breakage. |
| From 2 to 3 mm | Can be used by school-age children. | |
| Lead material | White clay and color pigments (classic lead) | Used for contour drawing. For coloring, you can use a soft (B) classic lead with a diameter of 3-4 mm. |
| Wax (wax) | Used for coloring and drawing landscapes. Does not require sharpening. | |
| Water emulsions (watercolor) | Used as a substitute for painting. | |
| Linseed oil (pastel) | Used for coloring and also for creating background details of the drawing. |
When choosing pencils, you should also pay attention to the strength and quality of the lead. It should not crumble during drawing, and the lines drawn with it should have a rich and bright color. The shell of the lead, the so-called pencil shirt, can be wooden or plastic.
The more common wooden shell is not always durable and sometimes cracks. The plastic jacket has a strength factor that is an order of magnitude higher than the wooden one, which better protects the lead from external influences.
The number of pencils in a set can vary from 6 to 72 pieces of different colors. For preschool children, it is better to limit yourself to a small set of 12 colors. A small number of colors in a set will allow the child to focus more on the drawing itself, rather than on choosing a pencil while drawing.
Among foreign and domestic pencil manufacturers, the following brands have decent quality: Faber-Castel, Crayol, “Sibirsky cedar”, Stabilo, Bic and Koh-i-noor.
It is advisable to use album sheets with a density of at least 100 g/m2 as drawing paper. When choosing an album, you should pay attention to the way its sheets are attached. It is recommended to choose albums in which the sheets are attached using a spiral wire, which ensures a smooth surface of the sheet during drawing.
Recently, such type of album as sketchbook has become very popular. It is a medium-sized notebook, which is convenient to always carry with you.
If the child plans to draw not only at home, but also during walks, then sketchbooks of the following sizes are suitable for this:
- A5 (sheet size: 120×148 mm).
- B6 (sheet size: 176×125 mm).
- B5 (sheet size 250×176 mm).
If you plan to draw only at home, then you don’t need to worry about the compactness of the album.
In this case, the following notebook sizes will be suitable:
- A4 (sheet size: 297×210 mm).
- A3 (sheet size: 420×297 mm).
- B4 (sheet size: 250×353 mm).
The binding of a sketchbook is thicker than that of a regular album, which provides protection of the sheets from external influences and damage.
