We draw balls. How to draw a hot air balloon

Artists - amazing people who can create entire worlds on paper. But before becoming a recognized master, you need to learn a lot. In school, the first thing they learn is the alphabet. In painting, everything starts with the image of simple geometric shapes: a cube, a cone, a pyramid, etc. Today we will talk about how to draw a ball.

Smooth circle without a compass

For work you will need: a simple pencil, a sheet of paper, an eraser. Great if you have a ball model. For this purpose, you can take a ball, a round orange or another object. Putting it under the lamp, you will clearly see the play of chiaroscuro.

How to draw a ball with a pencil? Follow our instructions:

1. Put a dot that will become the center of the ball. We draw vertical and horizontal line passing through this point. They must correspond to the expected radius of the sphere. Then we denote two diagonal lines of the same length, intersecting at the central point.
2. On this base, draw a square, the corners of which will coincide with the diagonal lines.
3. In the resulting figure we enter a rhombus. Its vertices are located along horizontal and vertical lines.
4. We outline the ball with a dotted line. At intersections with a square and a rhombus, it will fit snugly against them, it remains to connect these points with smooth rounded lines. When the resulting form suits you, the auxiliary features can be erased.

Hatching

How to draw a volumetric ball? To do this, carefully examine the previously taken ball or orange. Point the light at them so that it falls from above and a little from the side. You will see that half of the ball is lit and the other half is dark. A shadow falls on the table behind the figure. With a line, delimit the transition of the illuminated part of the ball to the unlit one. This is the darkest place.

Below it is a reflex - a part of the sphere that reflects light from the table, neighboring objects. Draw a rounded line and separate this small area. Mark the drop shadow, apply hatching without touching the reflex at this stage.

The turn has come to designate the lightest highlight on the ball. We shade the space around it, barely pressing the pencil. Shade the reflex with a light tone. When shading, remember the shape of the figure. As a result, we get several gradations of light. The transitions between them must be gently shaded. The drawing is ready.

Christmas tree ball

If you want to work with paints, the drawn circle can be turned into Christmas decoration. How to draw a ball for a Christmas tree? Start by drawing a low cylinder attachment on the side or top of the circle. Mark the teeth on the clip to give it a believable look. Draw patterns on the toy with a pencil.

On the palette, select the main tone, apply it without going beyond the edges. Glare on the ball can be obtained with a wet brush or by adding white paint. Put a lighter shade around them. The darkened side is shaded with black or purple. Make the transitions between colors smooth, blurry. Christmas patterns paint with gouache. It remains to paint the cap with the eyelet, the contrasting background and the shadow cast by the toy.

Travel balloon

The ability to draw a sphere is necessary for an artist to depict more complex subjects. After all, all the objects that surround us consist of simple geometric shapes. We will verify this by drawing a balloon for flights according to the instructions below:

1. Draw a ball in stages, using a square and a rhombus for support. Erase the extra lines, leaving through the center. Extend it down.
2. Draw a small line to the line. bulk cube, which will later turn into a basket.
3. More precisely outline the outline of the balloon, which tapers at its base and resembles an inverted light bulb. To do this, draw lines from the sides of the circle down, draw cables from them to the basket. Immediately below the ball, hang a cylindrical heating pad on the central rope.
4. With ovals, mark the bottom of the dome and the transverse ropes encircling it.
5. With smooth lines, mark the longitudinal ropes on the balloon.

Let's add details

Which will look believable? Let's take care of the details. On the dome, draw slices along the axial lines, like an orange. You can add stripes, patterns. Let's designate the basket in more detail, attach handles to it. Let's put people inside. Let's erase the extra lines. coloring balloon, do not forget about the glare on each edge of the dome. Then it will look voluminous.

It's time for the landscape. draw blue sky, White clouds. Below - green forests, fields, lakes. To give the drawing dynamics, depict flying birds, moving people on the ground. Beautiful picture may well become an interior decoration.

How to draw a ball? At first glance, there is nothing complicated. However, in reality, you will need a lot of effort to make the strokes neat and the play of chiaroscuro believable. Having mastered the laws of construction of elementary forms, the layout of highlights and dimming, you will be ready to create masterpieces. All it takes is patience and sincere desire.

Necessary materials:
- paper
- graphite pencil

Procedure

Stage 1
Draw an even circle - this is the basis of the ball. Draw a straight line in the center of the sheet. Put a dot in its center. Draw a straight line through it perpendicular to the first, of the same length. Try to make the lines barely visible.
To understand where the center of the sheet is, you can still use a ruler for now, but it’s better to develop an eye - in the future this will come in handy more than once.

Stage 2
Connect extreme points resulting intersecting lines, forming a circle. You probably won't be able to even circle the first time, but don't give up trying. When you are done with this task, erase the extra lines.

Stage 3
Let's create volume by applying shadows. Let's say the light falls from above and to the left. Put a dot in the most illuminated part of the ball and mark the width of the shadow with a stroke.

Stage 4
Now you need to draw the diameter of the ball through its center, perpendicular to the direction of the incident light. Based on the diameter segment, draw an ellipse indicating the light-shadow borders.

Stage 5
Conventionally, the ball can be divided into several parts in accordance with the degree of illumination. Some part is strongly lit, some is weak, some is darker, and the fourth is entirely in shadow. These areas, different in illumination, are best imagined mentally at first (if this is difficult, you can put a spherical object in front of you). The most illuminated place that reflects light is a glare. You can just remember it, or you can mark it on a sheet.

stage 6
A bright spot surrounds the glare. Then there will be a gradual transition from light to shadow, and finally the most shadowy area. Draw a shadow with arcuate strokes.

Stage 7
It's time for hatching. Do not touch the highlight area, paint over the light area with light gray. Make the hatch color darker in the shadow direction. Don't forget the arched strokes that run parallel to the outline of the ball and then radiate from highlight to shadow. Make the reflex lighter in comparison to the drop shadow.

Stage 8
Make an image of the shadow cast by the ball on the surface. At artificial lighting it will be more clear, in daylight it will be less clear.

Stage 9
If necessary, add a subject plane and background.

Congratulations! Now you know how to draw a ball step by step.

Another example of drawing a ball

To lift a balloon into the air, gas is needed, which will be light. So how to draw a hot air balloon? The design consists of a basket and a ball. They don't have an engine. It is impossible to control such an apparatus, because it does not have a control system. It flies where it is carried by the flow of air masses.

Almost everyone dreams of riding such a unit, because it is not as scary as a parachute. But people have a fear of heights, because it is completely uncontrollable. This is not very scary, because he cannot rise up into the cold masses, but he can fly to another country. Every child can see such flying machines in animated films. Therefore, we can try to make out one of these cartoonish drawings.

yellow-red ball

Let's try to figure out how to draw a balloon with a basket. For help, draw a cross on the worksheet. But we make the upper bar of the vertical longer than the lower one. Draw another similar straight line under the horizontal short one. Starting from the top small draw a ball, pulling it to the sides and up. From the bottom we begin to draw a basket. We connect it with a ball with rafters.

For the volume of the ball, draw parallel but curved lines on the ball. We limit it from below, and a little further we make a circle for fastening, from which the ropes extend to one point. From there we direct the ropes to different ends baskets. Auxiliary lines wipe. Paint the sky blue.

The last step is coloring. Through one strip we make them yellow and pink. The basket should be brown. We make white clouds in the sky. It is best to arrange highlights on colorful stripes, then the volume and reality of the picture will increase several times.

Old

Now consider an older version of the balloon. We also draw an elongated circle to which a basket is tied with ropes. On top of the third part of the figure, we make stripes that come out from the top. Further, the middle of it will have three circles. And in the last part of the ball we draw three sagging ropes. We connect the ball to the ropes of the basket big amount lines.

We set boundaries. Above and below the circles we make horizontal stripes. From the circles we form flowers with five petals. Sketch the basket with square hatching and add two ropes on the sides of the ball.

From above we make green and black stripes, the flowers will be pink with a green border, and place them on a yellow background. We make the sagging ropes green, and the background under them gray. Next, draw pink petals. The basket will be brown. It is impossible to meet such devices now, because all of them are more modern and not so brightly and brightly decorated.

Realistic

In this part, you need to figure out how to draw a balloon in stages. To do this, we will do some auxiliary actions. We draw a circle, which we limit from above and on the sides with small segments. We divide the circle into halves with a diagonal and extend it down. Practically from these lateral segments we draw two straight lines down, narrowing the distance between them. We finish them when they are almost close to each other. Below we make sketches of the future basket.

Adding four ellipses different sizes: top, below the center, below the circle and slightly below the last one. We draw below the semblance of a basket in the form of a cube.

Now draw parallel lines from the top to the penultimate ellipse. Adding ropes to the basket.

We direct the front part of the upper and the following ellipse. We do the same with the bottom. We finish drawing some fastening elements.

Add wrinkles to the upper part of the apparatus fabric. We finish the curves of the ropes above the basket. Adding clouds.

Erase the guide lines.

Easy option

And now you can relax, at the same time analyzing how to draw a balloon with a pencil. Let's start with a circle.

From below, add two ropes to it and connect them with a segment.

Draw a rectangle down. She is surrounded by a rope with three bags.

We add a horizontal wide strip to the ball, on which we draw three stars. We draw lines down from them and connect them with ropes to the basket. It's practically children's version an air flying body, but you also need to be able to draw it.

Most holidays, no matter how original and rare they may be, are always accompanied by stable decor elements. Of course, this is a cake, a couple of drunk individuals, a bunch of banal toasts mixed with the same jokes, as well as one special element that brings joy to the kids. At the request of the latter, you will now see a lesson on how to draw air balloons step by step. Ball - first geometric figure so polygonal that it seems round to the naked eye, and even more so to the armed. The balloon is far from round, which makes him complex and often commits suicide by piercing himself with any sharp object, or refuses to breathe, from which he suffers from anorexia and is completely blown away. The presence of a subject, according to unwritten laws, increases the level of festivity in any situation by one hundred units.

On the other hand, the ball is the average name of a dog of any breed and origin, so familiar to native land that this information is already in their genetic code. Tuzik, Polkan and Kashtanka sound less trite, but are used extremely rarely. This process is controlled by an unknown force, for which humanity is not yet ready, however, individually, each Tuzik is a little Sharik, and this is already a paradox.

Nonsense and more

• The first balloons were inflated from the skin of bulls and whales, presumably dead at that time. Nightmare;
• Self-inflating balloons are a new word in the field of nanotechnologies of the future, in which the balloon has thinking and can determine the cause and consequences of its inflation;
• An interesting record was set by Walt Disney Studios, which launched 1,592,744 balloons into the air at the same time. Nice cho;
• One ball lifts 3 grams of weight. Attention to the question, how many balls do you need to lift you into the air?

And drawing them is not difficult. See for yourself:

How to draw balloons with a pencil step by step

Step one. First you need to prepare the drawing by drawing a few shapes and lines as in the figure below.
Step two. Now add a person holding those balloons in his hands.
Step three. Add some tall grass, highlights on the balls and draw the girl's body well.
Step four. Clean up the drawing and add strokes with shadows to your taste. Here it is, done:
There are many more interesting things in the world that you can draw, for example.

We continue to learn the basics of drawing.

Of course, we will not see clear boundaries. But in the figure for correct construction forms, it is still necessary to find transitions between the elements of chiaroscuro. Imagine that someone took a large knife and sequentially cut off pieces from the ball corresponding to light, semitone, shadow, reflex. These imaginary cut lines will be the ellipses we need. Draw them, and in accordance with them, make a tonal drawing.

You don't need sharp boundaries between chiaroscuro either. When the construction is completed, you can smooth out these transitions (not with shading, but with a pencil, adding halftones!).

stages balloon pattern the same as in the case of the cube (and in any other case):

• composition - in thin lines outline the position of the ball in the sheet;
• construction - first of all, the construction of internal ellipses;
• lighting modeling.

3 stages of drawing

On final stage add contrast ( remember, the closest is more contrast).

I will not dwell on the progress of work, if you are interested, you can look in the article about. The only note about shading - do not try to cover the entire surface of the ball with parallel elliptical strokes. A dense tone is obtained when the strokes intersect. That is, you can hatch with straight lines, simply by changing the direction of movement.

As you can see draw a ball not so difficult. Try it yourself.
