Notes on drawing in the senior group “Portrait of a Mother”

Half-turn portrait

You can depict your mother from different angles. The most difficult option for depicting a portrait in half-turn or in profile.

The drawing technique itself repeats the technique of drawing full face with some features:

1. The oval will have an irregular shape. One of its sides is more convex than the other.
2. Then you should divide the oval with a curved line where the back of the nose will be located.
3. Draw a small horizontal line inside the oval.
4. Draw arched eyebrows at the top of the face.
5. At the intersection of the horizontal and vertical stripes, draw the tip of the nose.
6. We depict the lips under the lower horizontal line.
7. At the level of the upper horizontal stripe, draw the eyes so that the line goes in the middle.
8. We erase all unnecessary elements.
9. Draw the details of the face and add a hairstyle.

All that remains is to decorate the image and the portrait is ready. The drawing technique is based on the creation of horizontal and vertical stripes, which help maintain the proportionality of facial features.

How to draw mom

March 8, International Women's Day, is approaching, and many people want to please their mother with a touching gift - a portrait. However, drawing a mother beautifully step by step with a pencil is not an easy task even for experienced artists, and for a child it can be quite difficult. I'll show you how to draw a mom easily and without extra effort - just repeat all the steps of this step-by-step lesson. You will need a pencil, an eraser and paper; we will color with any suitable material for this - paints, colored pencils, crayons, felt-tip pens and anything else at all.

Since we are drawing a portrait of a mother for March 8 or Mother's Day for children, we will need to draw the face and shoulders. People have an oval face shape, so let's start drawing by building a base like this. I leave the top open, that's where we'll draw the hairstyle. You may not succeed the first time, but it doesn’t matter - just use the eraser and correct mistakes as you go.

Now we need to draw mom’s neck. These will be two smooth lines, you should get something like this.

Next we need to draw the shoulders so that the portrait of the mother looks pleasant and organic. Now, we have the base ready and it begins to resemble a person.

Now we need to beautifully draw mom’s face. I always start drawing faces from the eyes, and my mother’s portrait for March 8th will be no exception. We draw two almond-shaped shapes, and a little higher - the lines of the eyebrows. Here it is especially important to remember what kind of eyes your mother has and try to imitate their shape.

Just below I draw a neat nose in the form of just two lines. Look, it's very easy to draw, but at the same time such a nose looks natural. A little lower I draw the lips and a light line above the chin.

We correct the contours a little - do not be afraid to correct the portrait of your mother on March 8th with a pencil if you want it to turn out beautifully. Here I draw the folds above the eyes, the iris and pupils, as well as the eyelashes. If your mommy has moles, birthmarks or other features on her face, be sure to reflect them!

All that's left to do is draw mom's hair and ears. We draw the ears at approximately the same level as the eyes, and the hairstyle will be the same as your mother’s. My mom has short hair with little bangs, so that's how I draw.

Next you need to draw the clothes. I draw a neat collar, you can draw your mother’s favorite sweater, top, top of the dress. You can add other details - for example, mother’s beautiful beads, earrings and other jewelry that she really likes.

If your mom has a different hairstyle - for example, long hair, a high ponytail, a bob or something else - draw with a pencil exactly how it looks. For example, you might end up with something like this.

And now our portrait of our mother needs to be colored step by step! I paint mommy's skin beige and add some blush to her cheeks. Hair is a pleasant brown shade. My mother’s eyes are special - one is green, the other is green with a brown spot, I also reflect this in my drawing so that the portrait for March 8th is more recognizable. I don't forget to make the shadows an orange tone on the skin. I paint my clothes green to match my eyes.

So, I showed you how a child can draw his mother beautifully for March 8 or Mother’s Day. If you decide to draw a picture of your mother and you succeed, be sure to share the result in the comments, I’m very interested to see. If you have any problems, you can also ask for help in the comments.

Draw mom with a pencil

The easiest option is to draw a portrait using a simple pencil.

First we draw the oval of the face. We make the chin pointed.

We outline the location of the hair, ears and eyebrows. At the bottom of the oval we draw lips and nose.

1. First of all, mix white and orange colors on the palette. In the center of the sheet we draw an oval - this will be the face. Add a neck underneath it. Below we draw a jacket in red. The choice of color can be anything. We fill the remaining part of the sheet with the background. It can be anything, in this case yellow. We give the paints time to dry.
2. Once the background is dry, you can draw the hair. We choose the color and length ourselves. Hair should be depicted with long, smooth strokes.
3. At the next stage, we begin to depict the mother’s facial features. Using a thin brush and white paint, draw the eyes. Add blue circles inside. We depict lips in red. We fill in the eyebrows with black paint. Mix red and white paint to paint the cheeks.

Portrait with colored pencils

You can draw a gift for mom with colored pencils. In addition to them, it is worth preparing a landscape sheet and a black felt-tip pen.

Instructions on how to draw a mother step by step:

1. Draw an oval for the head. In the center of the oval we draw the eyes, their shape resembles petals. At the top of the eyes we add arcs - eyelids, and in the center - pupils. Add eyebrows above the eyes.
2. The part of the face from the eyes to the chin should be divided in half. Mark the middle with a dot. Up to this point, draw a line for the nose. Add a small wavy line to it below.
3. Mark the location of the lips. Draw a wavy line for the upper lip. Draw the central part of the mouth and add the lower lip.
