How To Draw A Dragon Standing Worksheet.

PROJECT NOTES

Draw lightly at first so you can erase later on.

Like drawing a human figure we start with an articulated stick figure, where we have the joints marked off with little circles. This helps us to get the pose right. Use a guideline down the center so things are even on both sides and not lopsided, erase this line later. He is holding his egg so the hands are together at the center, the palms are up and the thumbs point out.

After we are happy with the position of the pose next draw circles and ovals to fill in the muscles and flesh. Do the wings and armor last.

After you have the drawing the way you like it go over the best lines with a darker pencil or marker and erase the extra lines.

I did this drawing with marker pens so I was only using black and grey. I tried to leve a few areas white and some areas I drew very black that gives interest and contrast. I gave the skin of the dragon texture with a dot technique. The wings were smudged with an almost dried up marker so it has a different texture.

Dragons can be any color.

Have fun.

How to Draw A Harbor Seal Worksheet by MrAdron.

Printable lesson notes


Harbor seals are easy to draw; they can be a focus in a picture or a part of the composition that gives character to a scene. Just download the worksheet below and print it to get started.

BEGINNINGS:
Start with a simple outline. The head starts out as a circle and the body is shaped like a teardrop that is on its side. Use two lines to draw the body, draw the lines going around the shape of the body.

DETAILS:
The front flipper is like a hand, but no arm; draw it like two letters, "L," one above the other, and a third line going between them. There are five short claws.

FACE:
The face is happy. The eyes are high on the face. The eyes are round at the top and flat at the bottom. (If the bottom is slightly arched he looks like he is smiling.) The nose is two short dashes that almost touch and form a letter "V." The mouth is like a letter "W" but rounder. The face has a few long whiskers, and tall eyebrows going up. He has a little chin it is a short curved line.

Sometimes I draw a snout but adding a curved arched line between the nose and the eyes. It is optional.

COLOR:
Color him grey-brown or black. There are spots on his back, and he is white below.
Give him some friends and a rock to sit on.

How To Draw Boat On Beach Worksheet

How to draw a boat on a beach drawing lesson and printable worksheet.

This printable drawing worksheet will be helpful for the young artist who wants to gain confidence in drawing.

This worksheet may be printed by highlighting it and sending it to your printer. If you have problems, CLICK HERE to visit my how-to-print page for some suggestions.


How to Draw a Boat on The Beach Worksheet by MrAdron.

Sometimes it takes me hours, but I create these how to draw worksheets, but I do it so that I can give back because I believe that when you have been given a gift, it is so you can be a gift to others, and I hope these worksheets are a means of blessing to you. You are welcome to print as many as you like.


Thank you!

The image above should work for most printers, but use the PDF below if you still have trouble. 

CLICK HERE for a PDF file that may print better on some printers (it may require a two-step process, first download the temporary file, next open the file, then print).

Almost every famous artist did a portrait of the boat stuck on the beach- why not you? This is a fun and rewarding project that the young artist can be proud of. There are many different designs and shapes of boats around the world, if yours doesn't turn out like mine, it is OK since somewhere there is a boat just like the one you are drawing.

Draw a line for the foreground sand and another for the horizon before you start on the boat. Start out by drawing lightly, so you can erase.

The challenge for many people is the angles of the boat's sides and how they come together to a point at the front. Think of it as a banana with the back end chopped off. The top lines of the near side and the far side start apart at the rear of the boat; they curve down and back up until they touch at the front. The line of the back goes down at an angle to the sand. The line of the front curves slightly as it goes down and back.

Once you have the basic design, then start to add the details. The walls are thick, so draw a second line next to the tops to show the thickness. There is a seat in the middle; use two parallel lines for its front and back edges, and then a third for the bottom under the front edge. There are ribs going up on the inside; draw these as two parallel lines. Our boat has a floor, draw it as a line going across the inside bottom. The outside wall has boards going across it, don't draw them all the way across- leave a few blank places to give it interest.

Add shadows.

Draw a world around your boat. Shadow in the sand and give the sand texture with lots of dots. Put in some beach grass, add the waves of the sea, and put in some islands or the mountains of the bay far away.

I hope you create a masterpiece!

This printable drawing worksheet will help the young artist in drawing it can be used at home or school.

This worksheet may be printed by highlighting it and sending it to your printer. if you have problems printing then see the how to print tab above for helpful suggestions.


How to Draw The Crossed Arms Worksheet.
The man with arms crossed over his chest can be a challenge for a young artist. But the pose can be a dramatic statement and a powerful part of a composition.

Start with an articulated stick figure, where he has elbows and knees, to get the proportions and pose correctly.

The arms are like a wide and low "x." Draw the one out front first, the hand will be left out since it is behind the other arm. The second arm is only the upper arm since it is behind. The hand is like a lopsided square the thumb goes up.

After the height and basic pose is satisfactory add the body to the figure by drawing circles and ovals for the muscles.

After you have the body outlined then design the clothing and the face.

After you are satisfied with the design then go over it with a felt-tipped marker or color pencils.

PRINTABLE LESSON NOTES


Start the shell as a triangle. Draw a line across the sections at an angle to give it a twisted look, then round off the sections with curving lines.

The crab has an oval face with two thin triangles for the lower half of the face.

The eyes are oval-shaped and on fat stalks.

Draw the antennae before you get too much done on the legs. The antennae have a bend by the face.

The legs look like finger shapes at first, draw them lightly until you get them right. There are three on each side. The two in the middle have fat claws. Divide the legs into three rounded segments. Add the rows of bumps lightly. Draw the bumps as little dots or small shapes like the letter "n" or "u."

Go over the best lines until they look good and then erase the rest.

Put sand or rocks on the ground underneath him and a few bubbles floating over him.

The crab can be brown, orange, grey, or black.

I hope it turns out beautiful for you.

PRINT THE WORKSHEET

If you have trouble making the worksheet below print or are printing on A-4 sized paper then CLICK HERE to visit my how-to-print page for some suggestions. 

LESSON NOTES

Start with the middle ground and draw a wiggly line for the bushes at the bottom of the fence. Then draw a guideline for the top of the fence. A third wiggly line makes the horizon with a line of distant treetops.

Draw a large "S" for the path. You will erase part of this later, so draw lightly. The path is wider at the bottom and narrower by the gate.

Draw the fence slats as thin rectangles standing in a row. Give them an edge; you can do this with a shadow on one side so they won't look flat.

The gate is open, so the lines get closer by the edge of the gate.

Using a louse scribbling technique, outline the tree behind the fence.

Add details to the fence like the cross beam, the hinges, and texture to the bushes at the bottom.

The bushes across the field are darker, so the fence is in light contrast.

The stone steps are bigger at the bottom of the picture and smaller at the top.

Use different textures on the tree trunk and on the leaves.

Add texture to the distant trees but keep it simple.

I hope you draw a masterpiece!

PRINTABLE LESSON NOTES


BEGINNING
The body is like a skinny teardrop with a little head on top. There are short wing feathers going down from the side. The head has some feathers sticking out of the top like a crown. The beak is long and white. The eye is small and has a white area around it and a black area around the white area. The legs are skinny.

TAIL
The tail feathers take time to do nicely so be ready to work on them for a while. Start with some guidelines to keep things even. Draw these lightly so you can erase later. Make the guidelines like five or six arches going over the body.

DETAILS
On the guidelines draw the eyes of the tail feathers. The eyes look like teardrops with a dot and a smile. Keep them the same size and space them evenly along the guidelines but not too close together. There is a bunch of feathers at the base of the tail, draw these like half circles going up from the body.

FINISHING TOUCHES
Starting with the eyes closest to the body draw the stem of each feather going from each eye to the body, use a line for each side of the stem. On the stems are fine hairs that go out draw these as short light lines.

PRINTABLE PROJECT NOTES

Start with an oval for the body. Draw lightly so you can have clean erasure later on.

Each wing is a little longer than the body, (from head to the tip of the tail). The wings make a widespread out letter "M."  Draw the top edge of the wings with a curved line going out and forward and the last third swings back.
The back edge of the wing has the same curves but draw closer together at the end where the edges form a tip-point pointing backward.

There are three rows of feathers one near the top edge, one near the bottom edge and the bottom edge is the third row.

The tail starts where the wings join the body. Seagulls have short tails.

The head comes right off the shoulder and the beak is short. You won't have much of the eye showing since our view is from below.

Color the wingtips black. Leave the seagull as white as you can. Color in the sky around the seagull so it looks whiter.
