And how to draw a tank? Yes, it's very simple!

If a boy grows up in the house, then there will necessarily be a moment when he turns to the adult with the question: "And how to draw a tank? Teach! "Specially to help the parents compiled this master class.

Preparatory stage before drawing

Since drawing a tank is a serious matter, you should prepare thoroughly for the lesson. Of course, you need to carefully consider the photographs of this military equipment. It will not be superfluous to spend unobtrusively with the child a conversation, to ask what he knows about the tanks, to tell him about what the adult himself knows. And it's already necessary to tell something about the Great Patriotic War, about the heroism of Soviet soldiers, about the victory of the Soviet Union over the fascists. Considering the photo, it is necessary to distinguish the main parts of the tank.

Master-class "How to draw pencil tanks"

1. Beginning is best with caterpillars. They have the shape of ovals, slightly oblate from above.

2. Inside the figure, you draw another, similar, but slightly smaller than the first.

3. Inside the ovals we draw wheels - circles.

4. Inside the latter, one more concentric circle should be drawn, but much less.

5. If we draw a tank in pencil step by step, then after the caterpillars, we can go over to the image of the tower. It will have two parts. First, draw a small rectangular trapezoid with rounded corners above the caterpillars.

6. Above it we represent another same figure with a lower base, slightly smaller than the top one at the first. The upper trapezoid should have a height that would be greater than the lower one.

7. Now you can proceed to the drawing of the trunk. It is represented by two parallel straight lines emanating from the top of the tower.

8. At the end of the barrel, a rectangle with rounded corners is drawn, which should extend along the width.

9. Since we almost finished drawing the tank, we can start painting the image. Draw a red star on the tower, and a bursting flame from the trunk. The tank itself is painted in green, and around it draw trees, bushes, grass and earth.

Drawing of the tank in black and white format

But you can do without coloring the pattern in color. Black-and-white image of military equipment is already an assignment for older children - at the age of 9-10 years. Although the very principle of drawing remains the same, but here is more clearly delineated small details. For example, the trunk of a tank is not represented by two even parallel lines, but consists of several connected parts. And the tower itself is not written out as schematically as in the figure for babies.

Isometric projection and linear perspective

Since to draw any subject follows all the rules of art, artists over 12 years should explain the theory of isometric projection and linear perspective. From the first, everyone first gets to know the image of a cube when necessary. It implies the parallelism and equal size of the sides in the foreground and background. In a linear projection, parallel lines in reality should converge at some point in the horizon, so objects and sides of the background appear less than the objects of the anterior objects analogous to them.
