Step by step instructions for practical drawing of tanks, planes and helicopters.
Items needed for work: a blank white sheet of paper good quality, pencil with medium-hard or soft lead, eraser. Compasses, ink, feather, brush, ballpoint pen, felt-tip pen - optional.
Choose a sample of military equipment that you would like to draw.
Using light touches of the pencil, without pressure, very carefully and carefully apply on the paper the strokes that make up the initial (first) “step” - usually it is located on the left top corner on the diagram of your choice.
Then take the second “step” - also without pressure and just as carefully. Keep track not only of the direction and curvature of the lines, but also of the distance between them, that is, their relative position. The size of the drawing should correspond to the size of your sheet of paper - not too small and not too large. The first “steps” seem to be the least difficult, but they must be performed with particular precision, because any mistake made at the beginning of the process can spoil the final result.
New lines for each “step” are shown in the diagram as bolder, so that it is easier for you to recognize what exactly should be added to your drawing at the next stage.
Continue working as before with light, thin strokes. If any line turns out to be too thick or dark, lighten it with an eraser: run it along the line without much pressure, without trying to erase it completely.
And a few more tips.
Remember that for all the apparent complexity of some objects, they can always be reduced to simple geometric shapes: a ball, a cone, a pyramid, a cube, a parallelepiped, a cylinder.
Well, of course, let’s say, ships do not exist on their own, but, as a rule, organically fit into the surrounding landscape. Therefore, elements of the landscape - sea, river, rocks, even if only slightly outlined - will significantly enliven and enrich the drawing.
Having finished applying light strokes, that is, having completed the entire eight “steps” shown in the selected diagram, and making sure that all the elements of your drawing correspond to the desired image, outline them with confident pencil movements with the necessary pressure. After this final finishing, the drawing can be considered ready. If desired, you can enhance the contrast of the lines using ink (using a thin brush or steel nib), ballpoint pen or felt-tip pen. When the ink, paste or ink is dry, use an eraser to remove any unnecessary pencil marks.
Remember: if your first attempts to draw do not lead to the desired result, keep trying. It is very important not to lose perseverance, patience, and enthusiasm. In the end your efforts will be rewarded complete success- at that moment you may not immediately believe yourself, but you will still be pleasantly surprised by what you have achieved.
We sincerely hope that your drawing skills will improve and the long time spent on recreating the images of all these formidable and in their own way beautiful examples of technology will not be wasted.

From the title it is already clear what we will talk about. We will study how to draw war with a pencil step by step. It won't be star wars and Darth Vader and not even a shooter game, but a real war! Three soldiers in a trench, with piles of military equipment. In order to draw all this, you will need a lot of knowledge about military affairs. You can, of course, sit down to play WoT, but in the end you won’t draw anything. Who doesn’t know this is such a super action game with the participation of tanks, which has gathered a huge number of gamers in our country. By the way, the yellow-faced Chinese are no less interested in this. It seems that half of their population goes in for sports, judging by the number of Olympic medals in 2012, but the second is mired in the whirlpool of online games. For the fact that half of our population has been staring at an LCD monitor for two years now, while at the same time managing to stain the gaming mouse with greasy fingers from dinner and pour coffee on the keyboard... let’s all say “Thank you” to Wargaming! Although God bless him. Now let's take a break from tanks and try to draw military actions with the participation of real ones. There are five steps ahead.

The Great Patriotic War is a page in our history that cannot be ignored. For a peaceful sky, for bread on the table, we are indebted to our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who, without sparing their lives, fought against a fierce enemy for the sake of a happy future for their children.
As a sign eternal memory and respect in our country it is customary to give veterans flowers and themed cards made by small children's hands. Such masterpieces are worth more than any awards, because they testify that even children know and are proud of the exploits of their ancestors. Today we will tell you how and what kind of drawings for children about war you can draw on the eve of a great holiday or simply to consolidate the knowledge gained from a history lesson.
So, we bring to your attention a master class on how to draw the Patriotic War step by step for children with a pencil.
Example 1
Boys always associate war with military equipment and aviation. Tanks, helicopters, airplanes, various weapons - these are all achievements of scientific progress, without which victory would have come at an even greater cost to us. So let's start our first lesson, dedicated to drawings about the war (1941-1945) for children, namely with detailed description how to draw a tank step by step.
First of all, let's prepare everything you need: pencils and colored pencils, an eraser and a blank sheet of paper.
Continuing to improve our skills, let's draw a military aircraft:
Example 2
Of course, little princesses may not like drawing military equipment. Therefore, we have prepared separate drawings for them that can be used as a greeting card:

How to draw a Cheburashka with a pencil step by step
Well, now let's start drawing... Just five steps.
Step one
Let's start with the head. At the top of the sheet, in its center, draw a large circle. On the left and right sides of it are ears. They are also round and quite large, but smaller than the head. Let's draw the body - it's a large oval. All that remains are arms and legs.
Step two
We transform the outlined figures into body parts. Let's outline the head and then the ears. One leg of the Cheburashka is hidden behind the back. Let's draw a T-shirt and legs.
Step three
Let's outline the outline of the head to get the face. Let's show two big eyes. High above them are small rounded eyebrows. All that remains is to outline the triangular nose and small mouth. A finger reaches to the mouth.
Now let's pay attention to the ears.
Step four
Let's draw the eyes, or rather the pupils. Now let’s dress our Cheburashka in a fur coat. At the same time, pay attention to the bangs and ears.
Step five
Let's draw a small ornate design on our hero's T-shirt. Well, almost ready. All that's left to do is color it.
How to draw a squirrel with a pencil
Step one. We start as usual by drawing the position. We make a sketch of the body position of the baby squirrel. We draw a circle that will represent the stomach, then add two oval shapes from below and one large one from above, these are the legs and chest. And at the very top we draw another circle, but smaller, this is naturally the head.
Let's move on. Draw the paws up and add a tail. It should be fluffy. In shape it resembles the tail of a mermaid, which we drew in the previous lesson. After that, draw the squirrel’s legs.
Step three. Let's make an elongated shape for the squirrel's muzzle. It is as easy to draw as the face of a tiger. Draw the front sharp teeth on it. Add ears on the head.
Step four. We move from the sketch to drawing real forms. We draw kennels of fur around the tail and legs. On the face we draw eyes, ears and a nose like a smurf. 
Step five. We continue in the same spirit with the rest of the body. Let's finish drawing the paws and toes on them. The squirrel's eyes are round, add black pupils. And draw an exposed tongue. Also make a few teeth on the upper jaw.
Step six. Now we erase the auxiliary lines with an eraser and trace the contours of the drawing.
It remains to add some background details. Let's draw a palm tree and a nut (or is it a coconut?) that the squirrel is holding in his hands. (How does he just hold it, it’s clearly bigger and heavier than him?)
And finally, I also colored the drawing with colored pencils to make it more fun. Here's how it happened:

How to draw cartoons with a pencil
Step one. Let's determine the position of the head. It is quite large and wide. Moreover, you can draw a not very even oval. On the face, not in the center, but closer to the cheek, draw an axial vertical line. With a short line we outline the level of the nose. Now you need to carefully draw the mouth, starting from the vertical auxiliary line: first to the right, then to the left. The cat turns halfway in our direction, so the mouth does not seem to be symmetrical. Now let's draw the body. We try to make it look like in the picture. Let's draw two straight lines from the body down - the legs. With an uneven line we outline the bend of the tail. Let's depict two large shapeless oblong feet.
Step two. First, draw large oval eyes, and above them small rounded ears. Now let's round the edges of the cat's smile. At the already marked level we will place a round spout. Hands folded on the chest: they are not easy to show. Let's draw three thumbs, and from under them we draw the second hand. We draw two lines along one axis of the leg and get a leg. On the feet there are two curved stripes - toes.
Step three. Inside the ears, draw a line along the edge, so we get the auricle. Under the already drawn hand we will show a second peeking hand: almost round, but uneven. We will draw two lines along the second axis of the leg to depict the leg. Let's draw the feet. Let's outline the fluffy tail. Inside the large eye sockets, draw a horizontal line at the bottom, and under it a small pupil filled in with a pencil.
Step four. We finish drawing the tail: draw the top line along the axis. Garfield is striped: draw parallel stripes and make the tip of the tail darker.
Step five. Using an eraser, remove all auxiliary and center lines. The main outline of the cat can be outlined and made brighter. 
How to draw a motorcycle step by step
Step one
The first thing to do is draw the axial horizontal line for wheels. This way we will immediately give directions to our drawing. Now the wheels themselves. Let's outline the horizontal axes. The visual effect is such that we see them not completely round, but slightly elongated vertically. Moreover, the wheel closest to us is larger.
At the top is the angular outline of a motorcycle.
Let's connect the grain of the ear with a horizontal line.
Step two
Let's make the wheel closest to us three-dimensional. Let's show the width of the rear wheel tires and its wide fork. On the body of the motorcycle itself we will need to make a lot of straight reference lines, which we will need later. Look carefully at the drawing and try to do the same.
Step three
We continue to draw wide wheels. Above them are wide wings. Let's show the seat and front tail.
Step four
All the details of the two-wheeled friend need to be transformed from angular to smooth and graceful. We carefully draw out the details.
Step five
Let's outline the outline of the base and make it brighter. Here, our brainchild is already visible.
Step six
There are a couple of barely noticeable inscriptions on the case. But we noticed them and will draw them. Now we need to give shadow to some of the details located in the depths. Well, you're done!

Draw a circle in the center of the sheet. This will be the head of Harley. On both sides of it we will draw a sketch of a harlequin’s clothing.
Step two.
We draw eyes and folds on clothes.
Step three.
Then we will draw a small neck, 3 lines from it, and on them in a circle behind them you can see the shoulder, and below them the girl’s chest. The center line is where the hand is. Next we draw a graceful posture.
Step four.
Time passes, years, centuries, the events and experiences of the terrible war days go further and further. But they are not forgotten, so each new generation draws their fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers on sheets of paper, trying to capture the feat they accomplished. How to draw a war so that it does not look like a heartless drawing that will be forgotten over time, but so that it is remembered and deposited in the soul and heart of every person?
Drawing on a military theme
Before discussing the topic “war”, you should decide on several parameters. In your mind you need to imagine what the drawing will look like, what will be depicted on it.
Will it be a separate character or part of a military action? Maybe it will be an image of some kind of military equipment in the ruins of a city, or an airplane in a blazing sky, or a nurse in a hospital, or an old woman looking out the window with the hope of the return of her son or husband. The main thing is that it comes from the heart. Then the image will come out with soul. No person can remain indifferent when thinking about the past and picturing war. A piece of paper conveys the state of war, the hostile attitude towards it and the destructive consequences that it leaves behind.
Color and paints of military drawing
Every person who undertakes to paint on a military theme sees his own future drawing in its own color. The palette of war is multifaceted. It can also be in black tones - a sign of mourning, horror and loss. Maybe in red colors - a symbol of spilled blood, rage and cruelty. Also, the drawing can be “colorless gray”, this is the color the desperate people who lived in those years saw the war. The image may be bright, vibrant (in the color of hope). How to draw a war, in what color or in many shades? Everyone decides for themselves.
An example of a drawing about the war in pencil step by step
In order to complete the drawing, we will need: paper, pencil and thoughts about what will be depicted. So, how to draw a war with a pencil step by step, if you decide to depict some kind of battle scene, with a crowd of people, equipment, and so on? First, mark all the main lines of the drawing with very light strokes, so that if necessary, you can correct this without harm to the picture. When drawing a building, draw its main part (roof, walls), then indicate details, for example, a hole in the wall where a bomb fell, or part of a collapsed staircase. What if you decide to draw several soldiers on the battlefield? In this case, you should start from the farthest. In the figure it should be the smallest in size, and all the others should gradually increase in size.
When displayed various equipment, be it an airplane, a tank or a ship, you need to start in the same way as with various buildings, first drawing the base, and then gradually adding reality, color or historical nuances to them. Also, in order for your characters, equipment and buildings to look as realistic as possible, you should turn to literary sources. Look through photographs of those years, find out, for example, what uniform the soldiers had, what tanks and planes they had, how they differed from each other, and pay attention to this in the picture. With the help of books and various illustrations, you can easily understand how to draw a war or various military actions.
Great Patriotic War on a sheet of paper
How to draw the Patriotic War on a piece of paper? The Great Patriotic War is often called the “war of engines.” Indeed, at that time motorized equipment began to operate in the arsenal of the Soviet troops. Particularly noteworthy is the appearance of tanks. In this regard, the idea of what war looks like has also changed. Tanks began to appear in the drawings against various backgrounds. It could be a tank in an abandoned city or on a battlefield, or a separate element of an entire picture. Enemy tanks are drawn separately, they certainly contain various elements of nationality (for example, a swastika).
In films about the Great Patriotic War, you can also see Soviet soldiers with machine guns, Shpagin pistols (PPSh), and fascists with angular MPs. Also, heavy and heavy-duty installations of the Baltic Fleet took part in the Great Patriotic War. They can also often be found in drawings. Considering all this, Great Patriotic War on a sheet of paper it is often depicted with drawings of various types of equipment and weapons.
Life without war, but with the memory of its heroes
How to paint war with light colors? It is possible to depict this event without using dark and terrifying colors. The image of a soldier returning home, or an already graying veteran and his family, can also be attributed to military themes drawing. The purpose of a film about war is, first of all, the memory of those terrible events and one of the ways of warning for the future. Therefore, all drawings about the war are of enormous significance, and the younger generation learns the history of their country from these subjects.
