They say Russian girls are the most beautiful. Nature endowed our compatriots with pleasant features, blond hair and a graceful figure. Thanks to good external data, as well as their own work, the girls look beautiful even in retirement. It is not surprising that many painters and graphic artists wanted to capture our girls on their canvases. And today we will try ourselves as an artist and draw portraits of Russian beauties, as well as a full-length figure.

Drawing with kids

When a child draws a portrait of a Russian beauty, he usually depicts the face of his mother. After all, this person plays a big role in his life. Therefore, when reading fairy tales with a child, you need to develop his imagination and attention. After the fairy tale is read, you can invite the kid to draw the main character. How to do it?

The easiest way isdepict a girl in a skirt and add a kokoshnik to her. Let's analyze the progress of work in stages. First of all, we draw the figure of a beauty. These will be two triangles connected by sharp ends in the middle. The lower figure is a skirt, it should be 3 times larger than the corset top. The dress is ready, we add a circle-head and do not forget that any person has a neck. Hands are represented by rectangles. Don't forget to draw your fingers. We put boots on our feet. It remains to add some details to the drawing. This is the face of a beauty, a braid and, of course, a kokoshnik. Eyes and nose can be outlined with dots, lips - in a semicircle. And the last detail is the decor on the dress and kokoshnik.

Cartoon character

Portraits of Russian beauties do not have to be authentic. If you're drawing with kids, it's easier to draw a comic book character. So the child will be satisfied not only with the creative process, but also with the result. The character of our drawing will be a girl dressed in a fur coat, a long skirt and a fur hat. Standard Russian beauty in winter.

Let's start with layout. On the sheet we will depict not only a girl, but also a church, a tree and stones. We outline the figure and divide it into three parts. Now we divide the upper sector in half again. We draw the lower half of the head with a circle, the upper one is a hat, draw it with an oval. You can immediately outline the facial features. We will draw the figure in three quarters, this is the easiest angle.

Start drawing the coat. To begin with, we outline it with a trapezoid. Next, we detail the fur coat by adding a fur edging. Nowdepict hands. In order not to draw fingers, we will put a clutch on the girl. Now it's up to the skirt. To make it look more interesting, let's not forget to draw folds. We draw 5 vertical lines along the skirt, and draw a wavy line along the hem. It remains not to forget about the background - in the form of a church, trees, stones. Our drawing is ready.

Portrait of a princess

If a child has artistic talent, then, in principle, he can not display the entire figure on paper. How to draw a portrait of a Russian beauty?

You need to outline the dimensions of the picture. The face should occupy half or one third of the sheet. We draw an oval, we outline the hairline in two semicircles. Immediately draw a kokoshnik. It will look like a pointed semicircle. Princesses walk in dresses, so this part of the picture needs special attention. In order not to torment the child with the image of the decor, you can come up with a more complex style of clothing. The figure of the girl should resemble an hourglass. But the sleeves can be drawn in the form of several interconnected circles or ovals. In the same way, you can depict a braid. We put beads on the neck of the beauty. Only the face remains. In order to avoid the problem that one eye is larger than the other, we draw a girl in a small turn, as if she turned away from the viewer a little. We depict the eyes with circles, and give them an almond-shaped shape due to eyelashes. We finish the arches of the eyebrows, depict the nose in a small semicircle. It remains to outline the lips, and our beauty is ready. If desired, you can color the picture.

Russianbeauty in kokoshnik

At school, when children go through the topic of the national costume, they are often given homework. How to draw a portrait of a Russian beauty? Grade 4 is the time when students can already portray people almost reliably. But drawing portraits is too much of a challenge. Therefore, it is better to choose a simpler topic, for example, depict the whole figure of a girl in a national costume. In such a drawing, a portrait of a Russian beauty in a kokoshnik will also be present, but will not attract increased attention.

In order to depict a girl, we, again, need to compose a figure on a sheet. So that our beauty does not get bored, you can draw a young guy nearby. We proceed to the image of the girl. We divide the figure into 4 parts. We assign the first of them to the image of the head and the kokoshnik. We draw the face in a circle, and the headdress in a semicircle. Do not forget to make a small sharpening in its center. A trapezoid with a rounded edge depict a sundress. We take the second of our four parts under our arms. Corners attach them to the trapezoid. We also outline the shoes with triangles. It remains to detail the figure, draw a face and an ornament on a sundress and kokoshnik. By analogy, we are trying to portray a young man.

Matryoshka

A classic Russian beauty can be portrayed as a national doll. Even a small child can draw a nesting doll. A portrait of a Russian beauty, depicted in this way, will highlighta child from the crowd who will copy Disney princesses.

It is better to draw a nesting doll in parts. First, you should depict the right half, and then use the window to mirror your creation. We draw a semicircle symbolizing the face. The next step is to draw the outline. It needs to be copied from the example shown above. Now we need to fill in the empty space. First, we refine the face: draw the eyes, lips, nose and cheeks. Now we draw a hand. It is an oval connected to the palm. It should be noted that a nesting doll can have 4 fingers, not 5. And now let's get down to creativity. We dress our beauty in an apron and draw flowers. The final touch - transfer the image to the left side.

Modern interpretation

Today abstraction is in fashion. Therefore, a drawing-portrait of a Russian beauty in a modern interpretation may look non-standard. For example, you can draw a beautiful bun, a pretty profile, outline the line of the neck and ear. But it is not necessary to draw a face. You can get by with non-trivial shading, or, in general, write a poem in place of the eyes and lips. It might even be your favorite verse.
