Deciding on a method
You can draw with an ordinary pencil, colored pencils, paints, felt-tip pens. Various non-standard drawing techniques, for example, with charcoal, are now being actively introduced.
Each paint and pencil requires a special approach; you need to know how to use them. If we talk about the first steps in this art, then just choose what you like. If these are paints, it would be better to use watercolor or gouache.

What to do if you can’t use a projector? Masking tape comes to the rescue.
To depict, for example, such a realistic tree on the wall, you will need:
- masking tape
- stationery knife
- black marker
- primer for wall treatment
- newspaper to protect the wall from paint
- dye
- thick brush.
First you need to mark the outline of the future tree on the wall using masking tape.
Then the entire space inside the outline is filled with masking tape and on top of it we draw the future tree. It is better to outline the contours of the resulting tree with a black marker for clarity.
After this, using a stationery knife, carefully cut out the design along the contour. Before you start painting, you should, firstly, protect the wall around the future drawing from paint. The easiest way is to use newspapers for this purpose.
The area of the wall that will be painted must first be treated with a primer so that the paint adheres better. After the primer has dried, apply the paint using a brush. Ten hours later, when the paint is completely dry, you can remove the newspapers and peel off the masking tape: your drawing is ready.
Creating a masterpiece - the first stage
Step-by-step instructions will be given, after studying which you will be able to draw a very beautiful landscape:
To start, choose a yellow color. Mix the paint with water to get a rich color. Now you can move on to painting your sheet of paper. Apply yellow paint in strokes over the entire area of the sheet; you need to sketch the background.
Now you need to draw the sun. Take a dry cloth and in a place where there will be sun, wipe the paper well. You should get a circle, at this point you will erase the yellow paint.
Now you need to add pink to the yellow, after mixing you will get orange. Apply the resulting color on top of the yellow layer, but only around the sun should there be a yellow halo.

Types of pastels and their differences in drawing
Pastel painting lessons for children begin with choosing a specific type of pastel. Indeed, despite the common features, there are also differences.
Children can work with the following types of pastels:
- Dry is the most pleasant to use, with its help the lightest strokes are applied, and the design turns out matte and velvety. The only negative is that the material breaks easily and smudges a lot, so every child should use it carefully;
- Waxy is a harder pastel than dry pastel, shiny and smooth in appearance. This pastel is less brittle, and its shading is possible only along the borders of the design elements. In addition, its biggest advantage is that children can use it not only on a paper surface, but even on glass;
- Watercolor - similar to wax pastel, but due to the presence of water-soluble components inside it can turn the work into a watercolor drawing. All the child needs to do is blur the picture with water;
- Oil pastel is a type of pastel that is best used after 8-10 years, since it is washed with special solvents. However, the advantages of oil crayons are that they crumble the least, and the design retains its colors for the longest time.
By the way, each type of pastel, despite its differences, will be interesting to children. And depending on what the child chooses, it will be necessary to move purposefully in practice.
But in order to make a choice, you will have to try all types of pastel painting, and the selected master classes will help with this.
Drawing the sky
Let's move on:
Apply a small amount of blue on top of the leaf. Apply ultramarine paint. If it happens that the blue mixes with the previously applied layers of paint, carefully wipe off the previous layers with a cloth.
Mix ultramarine with pink. Apply the resulting shade below the blue. This move will give your painting an evening look.
Next you need to achieve a darker color, to do this, play with ultramarine and pink, add more colors. At each stage of mixing, check whether the resulting shade suits you on an additional sheet of paper, a draft. Using the resulting shade, draw a line parallel to the horizon; these will be stripes of clouds. They should not be continuous, but abrupt.

To prevent the clouds near the sun from being too contrasting, take a dry, clean brush and rub the edges a little.
At this stage, the drawing of the sky stops.
Division by horizon
In order to highlight the horizon, it will be enough to dip a thin brush into white paint and draw a horizontal line across the entire drawing.
Fade the sky a little with a pink tint, make blurry strokes. To do this, you can dip the brush a little in water and you will succeed. At this stage, the part of the drawing that is above the horizon is ready.
Basic principles of acrylic painting
Acrylic painting can be airy and transparent - like watercolor, dense and bright - like gouache, voluminous and rich - like oil. Beginners should first make a sketch in pencil, and then cover the drawing with paint. The easiest way is to take a wide brush or palette knife and fill the background with broad strokes, and then add small details.
To see the pencil sketch, you can add more water to the palette and create a light, translucent watercolor background, and then gradually paint over it. The more water you add, the lighter and more transparent your brushstrokes will be.
Brushes should be washed frequently and thoroughly. When acrylic dries, it becomes viscous, resulting in rough brush strokes. Do not leave dirty brushes: they will dry out unnoticed and become hopelessly damaged.
Use a spray bottle of water to keep your palette moist to keep your paints from drying out longer. But under no circumstances splash water on the paper: it will get wet and go in “waves.”
Leave the finished drawing on the table until completely dry. Carefully put the remaining clean paint that was not used during the painting process back into the jars. And if you need to take a short break during your painting session, simply cover your palette with cellophane or cling film.
Details
Now draw the bottom of the drawing below the horizon. Here you need to draw the water and the shore.

Anime and cartoon characters
How to draw different characters beautifully and easily with a simple pencil can be understood if you pay attention to their physique and different features. The figure or facial details of cartoon characters often differ from the usual human structure. Big eyes or small hands make a character memorable. It will be easier to draw such characters than a portrait of a person.
There are a lot of pictures with characters on the Internet, and first you should learn how to draw them.
This will help in the future to draw heroes from memory or even come up with your own. At the initial stages, you can not pay attention to the shadows of the elements, since such characters are only drawn. Later, you can add the acquired knowledge to drawing anime and characters in order to make them more alive.
Drawing the shore
To paint the shore you will need to choose a rich purple paint; to do this, mix black with the previously used purple.
Using the resulting shade in the lower right corner, draw the shore under the waves. A couple of such rich strokes can be done on water.

Oil pastel drawing lessons
Oil crayons, unlike other types of pastels, are the brightest material that allows you to create shading, blurry areas, and color accents in your drawing.
But it is preferable to work with this pastel on white paper than on colored paper. After all, then the colors appear much brighter, and the drawing turns out more saturated.
In addition, this material takes a long time to dry, like ordinary oil paint, so the painting will stop smudging completely only after a month.
Parents begin their child’s acquaintance with oil pastels by learning how to work with them:
- Gradient painting - apply one color first, and the second next to the overlap along the border of the first, then repeat the technique with the third color;
- Color overlap - darker strokes of the same color scheme are applied to the main light color;
- Linear strokes - the drawing is created by small lines that overlap each other. You can even draw them in a chaotic order;
- Dot coating - various colored dots are applied to the main background, creating an unusual pattern in the form of highlights;
- Feathering – creating a smooth background by smoothing out pastel layers;
- Blur – creating the effect of an oil painting by blurring the applied crayon with thinner.
Learning these techniques is not difficult, although a child can start trying to draw with oil pastels without them. But then the finished children's drawing may look unfinished.
Well, you can see how to draw with oil crayons on the following videos from YouTube, which will serve as a drawing tutorial for some children:
