Giraffe - one of the most amazing animals onEarth. It differs from others in a rather absurd body structure: an unusually long neck and legs (the hind legs are shorter than the forelegs), a back that has a diagonal slope, meaningless horns ... But all this does not prevent giraffes from being quite graceful creatures, moreover, the highest on planet.
All this contributes to the fact that the image of theseanimals is very popular in art. Their characteristic silhouette immediately evokes associations with hot countries, where they live. Therefore, the question of how to draw a giraffe is of interest to quite a few artists, both beginners and experienced. In particular, how correctly to represent proportions of an animal, to emphasize features of a structure.
Also interesting is the aspect of materials thatmost advantageously underlined the savanna atmosphere of the savannah, over which a long-legged handsome wandered. Pastel, wax crayons, ink, ink - there are quite a lot of interesting options. Therefore, we will only cover the answer to how to draw a giraffe with a pencil, pen or any other handy material. Add paint to the image will give you the opportunity yourself.
In this article we will consider several optionshow to draw a giraffe. You will learn how to depict an adult animal in a cartoon style and a cub that, depending on the performance, can take the form of both a realistic beast and a character of a children's fairy tale. Since it is problematic for a novice artist to follow general instructions, we will tell you how to draw a giraffe in stages, and we will illustrate each step.
At the beginning of the work, the basic proportions of the animal should be sketched. Determine the size of the body, the length of the neck and the shape of the muzzle.
Now add the legs.
Draw the face and add a mane, ears, horns, a tail. In these animals it is rather coarse (especially in comparison with other parts of the body), with a tassel at the end.
Our drawing is almost finished. It remains only to add the spots characteristic of the giraffe skin.
Now the work is finished. delete extra lines, circle outlines and enjoy the result.
Как нарисовать жирафа в цвете?To do this, you can either apply any coloring material, such as gouache or watercolor, or scan the image and use graphics programs. This is what the work done in Photoshop by a non-professional user looks like:
How to draw a giraffe that has not yet reached a matureage? In principle, the technology remains the same: first the basic proportions are pounced, and then every part of the body is drawn. But in the case of the baby, it should be remembered that the longest part of the baby's body is visually the legs. Also the small giraffe's horns are not yet fully formed.
So, let's start sketching outlines.
Our cub will lie on the grass, so while you can leave your feet unattended. We specify the outline of the muzzle.
Add eyes, nostrils, ears.
We add a neck.
Now we are working on our feet. First above the front.
Now over the back.
Add the tail with a bunch of hair at the end.
And we paint the skin with spots.
Delete the extra lines.
After painting your giraffe cub can look something like this.
We hope that our lesson was useful to you, and now you can easily represent this savanness.
