Summary of a drawing lesson in the middle group “Cockerel”

In addition, we use a simple pencil of medium hardness (HB), drawing paper and tinted paper for drawing with pastels. The image of the rooster is performed in stages. We start by drawing the diagram on drawing paper, drawing out the details of the bird. Then we transfer the drawing onto tinted paper and work on it with oil pastels, but you can also complete the work on plain paper.


.

On a piece of drawing paper, using a simple pencil, draw two ovals. One larger oval will be the body, and above it a smaller oval will be the head of the rooster. We connect the large and small oval with a line - the bend of the neck.

From the large oval downwards we draw two lines - the legs of the rooster.


.

Draw a triangle for the bird's beak. From the large oval to the right we outline the tail of the rooster in a sharply curved arc.

Draw a comb line above the oval of the head.

We place two semicircles of earrings under the beak.

Add the bend lines of the neck.

Draw the rooster's legs crosswise.


.

Inside the large oval we outline a wing oval with a slightly pointed end.

Draw the contours of the “pants” and the lower edge of the tail with smooth lines.


.

Draw the scallop teeth. In the oval of the wing we draw plumage lines.

Add a pattern of feathers to the tail.


.

We draw the “pants” of the legs and paws with the sharp protrusion of the spurs.

We transfer the drawing onto tinted paper. Why do we shade the back side of the paper sheet with the pattern. We apply it with the shaded side to a sheet of tinted paper and, tracing the outline of the drawing, transfer the image to the tinted sheet.

With light strokes we cover the plumage of the head, the upper part of the wing and some tail feathers with light brown chalk.


.

Use red chalk to draw the comb, earrings and tail feathers.

We go through the remaining places in lilac. We specify the plumage of the tail and wing with black chalk. We go over the head and scallop with red-brown chalk.

So, the first thing I did was draw a line drawing of a rooster using an HB pencil:

Then I lightened all the lines with nag and started drawing the rooster with colored pencils. I decided to start with the tail, so as not to accidentally overwrite what had already been drawn with my hand. And first of all, I used a black pencil, then starting from the darkest tone.

As we moved from left to right, the design of the rooster's tail began to take on more realistic shapes. To convey the shine of the feathers, I used several shades of blue and green. I won’t list them, it’s easier to say that the entire drawing of the rooster took more than half a box of pencils.

The general approach to drawing feathers was the same - the darkest areas were painted first, then a certain color was introduced (or rather, several shades at once) and finally polished. I used exactly the same approach in drawing the yellow feathers:

As you can see, there were quite a lot of yellow feathers on the rooster. If you do not fall into excessive realism or hyperrealism, then it is enough to understand the general principle of how the feathers are arranged and what shadows and shades they provide. And then it is no longer possible to thoroughly copy every smallest feather, but to recreate a more general picture, where exactly the character of these feathers will be conveyed, i.e. they may even be located in slightly different places or there may be fewer of them than in the original, but this will not make them lose their realism.

In general, there are quite a lot of complex elements in drawing a rooster, especially for beginners. These include numerous feathers, shadows, shimmer, and a rooster’s comb with an interesting pimply texture. Therefore, do not rush to complete the entire drawing at once, in one sitting. When painting the rooster's crest, I used several shades of red, as well as cool purple colors in the shadow areas. I went over it a little with a white gel pen, imitating the pimply surface of the comb. I really didn’t want to get too bogged down in copying here, so I allowed myself to heartily poke with my pen in a chaotic manner. It turned out quite plausible in my opinion
