The interest of children - and the adult population - toopen space (uncharted planets, unprecedented inhabitants and civilizations, flights to distant worlds) has always been off scale. Was it connected with the propaganda of the cosmonautics itself or was it just explained by a romantic mood? Sure is difficult.
Remember the question from childhood: "Whom do you want to become?"
So, half the children in the USSRfrankly confessed: astronaut! It seemed to us that this profession is connected with adventure, risk, good physical training and other qualities that determine the hero. And who did not want to be in childhood? And the question of how to draw a rocket and an astronaut, in general, was one of the main ones for a young artist. Today we will try to do it. For drawing we need a sheet of paper, pencils or drawing coals, an eraser. Subsequently, in order to make an image in color, you will need paints (gouache or watercolor), but you can also use felt pens!
First how to draw a space rocket
This is an aircraft that has been used for flight for a long time. And, of course, no space travel is complete without it.
Step 1.Place a sheet of A4 paper vertically (book version). We sketch the space object with a pencil - simple, medium softness. The rocket body itself is a geometric figure (or rather, their combination). It is rather a cylinder pointed upwards. Draw and adjust with an eraser. If the lines of your picture turned out not quite accurate, do not be discouraged. Better light strokes correct, giving them the right direction.
Step 2.At the rocket below draw a sketch of the tail stabilizer. He actually needed to balance the device in flight. These are also geometric shapes: a triangle and a quadrilateral located on the sides. Smooth the corners of the parts and sharpen the tips.
Step 3. In the upper part of the object we depict several small holes - portholes (again the geometry is circles). The head of the rocket also sharpen up.
Step 4.And now erase all unnecessary lines with an eraser, apply shadows, draw details. The rocket is ready to fly! But this is only half of our picture. Let us rest a bit and proceed to further work on the image.
Pilot
Now we will look at how to drawcosmonaut pencil in stages. The pilot is the person who will control our rocket. You can draw it standing next to the aircraft. So, let's continue the lesson on how to draw a rocket and an astronaut. The pilot will be dressed in a protective spacesuit.
Step 1.To the right or left of the rocket, we outline a figure of our astronaut: a big head (because it is in a helmet), rounded contours of arms and legs dressed in a space suit. Belt of a spacesuit and a backpack over his shoulders. Sketch light strokes-lines.
Step 2. Starting to draw the details of the spacesuit (for this you must first look at the image of the space suit). As well as mittens, all sorts of appliances, hoses (all quite large).
Step 3. An important part of our drawing is a helmet. Detail the opening for the eyes, making it bulky. Shaded around the edges, remove the extra lines.
Step 4. Continuing the lesson on how to draw a rocket and an astronaut. Let's start to paint shoes. As well as rivets, backpack, etc. - all sorts of stuff and accessories.
Flight of fantasy
The most important thing now is to harmoniously combine bothparts of the picture. That is, so that the astronaut does not exceed the rocket growth. To the lines smoothly passed from one part to another. Do not be afraid to experiment with an eraser and coals. Come up with an entourage: not only how to draw a rocket and an astronaut, but also what surrounds them. If you want to portray a flying pilot, he must soar in zero gravity surrounded by stars and planets against the background of the night cosmic sky. If on the ground, then at the cosmodrome.
We color
And now our drawing can be painted with bright gouache, for example. Or multi-colored markers - will also be good! Good luck in your creative work!
