Summer vacation drawings in pencil. How I spent my summer: essay in pictures

We all love summer - a time for relaxation, vacations, games, adventures and swimming. Personally, I just love summer for a whole bunch of reasons, and therefore I invite you to draw this time of year with me step by step with a pencil.

So, what do you associate with summer? Personally, for me - with clear skies, sun, greenery and a house in the village. Let's try to draw a carefree landscape that would be perfect for illustrating your story about holidays and summer.

First, we divide our sheet with a line, marking the horizon. Draw with a simple pencil, so that sometimes you can erase all the extra lines.

At the top of the sheet we draw a sun and clouds. You can draw a completely cloudy sky, or you can draw a clear one.

Add a couple of tree trunks.

And, of course, what would summer be without lush, bright foliage? We draw lush tree crowns.

The general landscape is ready, now it’s time to draw a house away from the trees. By the way, in the next lessons I want to show you how to draw houses. So, we draw the base of the house from two rectangles.

Add a roof to the rectangles. Don’t forget to remove all unnecessary lines along the way so that they don’t distract you.

Let's add another element and a pipe to the roof.

Let's finish drawing the doors and windows.

Summer means flowers, butterflies, bright blue skies and green grass. This is exactly the picture we will draw today. From this drawing you can make a postcard.

Required materials:

A sheet of white paper;
Colored pencils in yellow, orange, red, pink, dark green, light green and blue. The pink color can be replaced with purple, then you get a real rainbow;
Thin black marker;
A simple pencil (preferably soft 3B);
Eraser.

First, use a simple pencil to mark where the flowers will be located. The lines should be very light, barely noticeable. The shape of the flower fits into an oval. Place the ovals at the bottom of the sheet, at different angles to the edges of the paper and to each other.

In the upper part, make room for the butterfly; use light lines to determine its size and direction of flight.

If you connect the corners of the wings of any butterfly with lines, you get a trapezoid. Therefore, you need to start drawing a butterfly with this figure. Having outlined its contours, divide the trapezoid with a line approximately in the middle. From the corners to the center of the trapezoid, round off the shape of the wings. Label the body and head.

Now draw the flowers. In the middle of each planned oval you need to make smaller ovals.

From these small ovals, draw diverging lines separating the petals.

Round the petals without disturbing the intended shape of the flower.

Using light lines, mark the location of several leaves. They should be located in different directions. First, draw the middle line of the sheet, then two lines from the tip with a corner. Draw the leaves, rounding the lines.

Carefully trace the resulting outlines of flowers, leaves and butterflies with a marker. Try to keep the lines smooth.

Take a blue pencil. Using transparent lines, sketch out the horizon line approximately in the middle of the sheet, as well as the lines of the hills below. Use light strokes to tint the sky. Start tinting from the upper corners of the sheet towards the horizon line, gradually loosening the pressure.

From the horizon line it is also very easy, using loose strokes with a gradual weakening of pressure, indicate the distance with the hills.

Use a yellow pencil to color the butterfly's wings. This should be done in small strokes with even pressure. Do not press the pencil too hard, it is better to cross-hatch in one place several times until you achieve the desired tone.

Paint the body of the butterfly orange, and use a marker to draw small details: spots and black corners on the wings, eyes and antennae.

Now it's time to do the flowers. Use a yellow pencil to shade out the centers.

Then start tinting the petals. To make the tinting look neat, outline and color each petal separately. The strokes should be small and the pressure on the pencil should be even.

Our drawing shows a red, orange and pink flower. But you can come up with another combination.

Color the leaves this way: one half of the leaf is dark green, and the other half is light green.

Finish the drawing by working out the details with a marker. In the middle of the flowers, apply several dots, draw veins on the leaves.

School time is over and summer vacation for children for three long months is on the agenda. According to statistics, every year every second child stays at home during the summer holidays. Each family decides in its own way what he will do while the adults are at work. I wonder how parents in other countries cope with this task?

Summer holidays in schools around the world

Japanese holidays

In Japan, children study a lot in order to get a well-paid job in the future. Therefore, Japanese mothers view their children’s holidays as an opportunity to improve the situation in some school subject. Teachers give summer assignments that students complete under the watchful supervision of strict mothers. During the holidays, primary schoolchildren keep summer diaries where they draw hieroglyphs, developing their ability to write and draw.

Holidays in Australia

On the largest island in the world, Australia, children spend their holidays interestingly. Many sporting events are within walking distance, and themed festivals allow children to lead an active lifestyle.

Holidays for French children

In France, parents develop a competitive spirit in their children. Parents use every opportunity to improve their children in some subject. Vacations usually turn into daily training to master knowledge in order to get a high score in exams.

Italian holidays

In freedom-loving Italy, children from an early age are taught to evaluate their own performance. Until adolescence, Italian mothers rather pamper their children than educate them. Children spend their holidays with their families.

America

American children are taught independence. They tend to keep themselves busy. Communication on the Internet and watching television programs are widespread.

Canada

In Canada, schools focus on communication skills. IN educational institutions Students and teachers are constantly being shuffled around. This is how children, from the point of view of psychologists, form correct relationships with others. During the holidays, children usually travel as part of peer groups.

Summer holidays for children in Russia

Our country, with its foundations and attachment to friends, has its pros and cons. Building deep relationships with others, on the one hand, forms the mysterious “Russian soul” with its compassion for people, on the other hand, it can be drawn into destructive relationships with marginalized layers of society. Therefore, various summer health programs that will allow the child to develop his individual abilities can serve as an inoculation against excessive emotionality in our children. Today, such programs are widely represented on the market of services for organizing children's recreation. From summer playgrounds at schools to trips to summer camps both within the country and abroad. This refers to specialized programs that not only organize children’s recreation, but also help the child not to forget the educational process during the holidays. For example, language, sports or tourism programs. Children, like adults, need a change of environment and new positive impressions. The only thing parents should take care of in advance is to instill in their child self-care skills.
