Step by step drawing of a soldier
Every soldier must always be neatly dressed and always have a cleaned and serviceable weapon for battle. Let's start drawing the soldier. Draw an oval for the head and two long lines descending from the oval.
Draw two ovals at the top of the rectangle. These ovals will be the outlines for the soldier's arms.
On the left oval we will add another oval tilted to the right so that the hand salutes. Let's add another oval on the second hand. At the bottom we will draw two more ovals for the soldier’s legs.
Let's draw the basic shape for the soldier's rifle and other elements.
Let's add features to the face and improve the soldier's body. Let's draw a military pattern on the uniform.
Let's check the soldier's sketch. Outline the drawing with a black felt-tip pen and erase all unnecessary lines
Let's paint the soldier's uniform green and brown. We will paint the rifle and boots black.

Hello! In today's lesson we will tell you how to draw a Soviet soldier.
The fact is that this topic concerns each of us - after all, “there is no family in Russia where its hero is not remembered.” Taking this opportunity, I would like to ask every reader whose heroes are alive and well to express to them your attention, recognition and care.
This article is being written on the eve of a great holiday - Victory Day, but we would really like our Heroes to receive congratulations and respect not only on this important day, but also all the other 364 days of the year. Call your grandmothers and yours, provide all possible assistance in everyday matters, inquire about their health, give them a cool, complex drawing that you personally created in their honor. The team of our site can help you with the last point - let's start drawing a real Hero - the Soviet Soldier!
Step 1
This lesson is quite complicated, but we will start drawing it with a very simple stickman - a man made of sticks and circles. However, do not be deceived by its simplicity - the fact is that this stage is the most important of the entire lesson, because mistakes made here will be very difficult to correct in the future. Before we start drawing a stickman, let’s remember the basic rules of body proportions: a person’s height is equal to the sum of the lengths of about 7 heads, with 3 of them falling on the torso (from the neck to the waist), and 4 on the legs. The arms, extended at the seams, reach the middle of the distance from the waist to the knee joint, and the width of the torso is equal to the sum of two heads (also in width).
However, be extremely careful at this stage, because the soldier does not stand at full height (as, for example, in one of our lessons), but takes a position immediately before the shot - he leans on his knee and takes aim.
Pay attention to the features - the arms seem too short, but this is an illusion arising from their folded position and the lack of volume at this stage against the background of the head. By the way, the head should be pulled into the shoulders, that is, the neck will not be visible here - again, this visual effect arises due to the soldier’s non-standard “aiming” pose.
Step 2
Now let's work a little on the top part of our drawing. Let's draw a helmet line at the top of the head, mark the remaining lower part with two lines - a vertical one, which will indicate facial symmetry (note that it is slightly beveled to convey the tilt of the head) and the line of the eyes perpendicular to it.
Let's also draw part of the silhouette of the helmet and outline the weapon in the soldier's hands (the butt should cover the lower part of the face). Let's complete the stage by drawing rectangular fists.
Step 3
Let's add volume to the arms and upper torso. In fact, at this stage we will only outline the previously outlined lines. We will not draw the muscles here, since the soldier’s clothing is not tight-fitting.
Step 4
Now let's do the same operation with the lower part of the body. This will be much easier to do if you imagine parts of the body in the form of figures - the belt and groin area in the form of a triangle, legs in the form of cylinders, knee joints in the form of a circle and a flattened oval. Again, nothing complicated, since we are not required to anatomically draw muscles and tendons.
Step 5
“Volume stickman”, that is, the silhouette of the soldier is ready, you can start drawing it. If you doubt the accuracy of the soldier’s position or the proportions of his body, hold the sketch of this stage to the mirror and look at the reflection - all errors in it will be very striking and noticeable.
And now, in fact, we continue: erase the extra guide lines from the helmet and outline its outline, also draw a strap on the soldier’s cheekbone. Then draw the eyes - one of them should be squinted.
The general plan will be something like this:
Step 6
Usually we draw and detail drawings always from top to bottom, that is, in the direction from head to feet. And this lesson will not be an exception, therefore, we continue to detail our soldier.
Let's work on the jacket. Let's draw the sleeves, outline the folds of the fabric and cuffs. Then we will designate a belt that goes diagonally across the entire torso, a collar and strokes that will later become large pockets located on the chest.
The palms are the most mobile part of the body, so it is their drawing that causes the most difficulties. To do this, we decided to make a couple of close-ups:
Actually, drawing the palms here is not particularly difficult, you just need to correctly convey their position and how they hold the weapon.
By the way, don’t forget to draw the weapon itself, namely the legendary Mosin rifle. The general plan is this:
Step 7
Let's go lower and draw the lower part of the soldier's torso and legs. First, let's draw the belt and side pockets, and then the bag and the loose lower part of the jacket (pay attention to the smooth bend of the line of the jacket in the area of the leg closest to us, it must be marked, it emphasizes the pose).
Next are the legs. Let's erase the extra guide lines, outline the contours, giving the legs a "baggy" look - that is, we make the contour itself slightly wavy and apply folds to the fabric. Yes, such a moment - the legs should turn out to be quite voluminous, again in order to emphasize the loose fit of the pants.
Step 8
Great, already very close to what we need. Now let's complete the final drawing of the torso and legs of our soldier. At this stage, we will outline and detail the warrior’s left hand and the edge of the rifle butt.
Look carefully at our sample and try to repeat all our steps in your drawing - be sure to draw such, at first glance, inconspicuous details as a patch on the elbow, cuff edging, buttons and folds. Draw the knuckles on the outside of the hand.
Step 9
Now we will repeat the same operation, but on the other hand, to the right of us. Here, unlike the previous stage, the fingernails are visible and we will need to mark them. Also outline the strokes of the phalanges of the fingers, but otherwise everything is the same - cuffs with hems, buttons, patch in the elbow area and folds.
Step 10
Let's draw the Mosin rifle. Don't forget that most of the barrel parts of this weapon were made of wood, to visually represent this material, draw a few lines along the barrel at the front of it. Also mark short horizontal lines running across the barrel - the first of them is located next to the front sight, and the last one is in the area of the hand on our right hand. Draw the sight, trigger and belt (note the belt buckles and its upside down position).
Step 11
We detail the torso. Draw the stripes on the collar, the horizontal line of the fastener and the pockets. Pay attention to the hem that is located along the edges of the pockets and the folds coming from the belt. Don't forget to also edge the bag's strap and draw a buckle.
Step 12
Let's draw the legs, starting with the one to the left of us. Outline it, keeping the previously outlined wavy contour, mark the line of the fly on the pants, mark a rectangle in the knee area and draw a shoe with a thick, rough sole. Apply several short folds to the boot material.
Step 13
Now let's detail the other leg. Edge it, mark the folds, draw stripes of fabric in the shin area. Draw the thick sole of the shoe, indicate the lacing and a couple of strokes on the material of the shoe, which will indicate folds.
Step 14
Looks good, doesn't it? Let's now work with the shadows. First, let's put a shadow on our soldier's helmet. Before starting work, do not forget to look at the 6th stage of the lesson, dedicated to - firstly, the structure of a realistic shadow is described there, and secondly, the shadow on the grape brush, in terms of the level of distraction, is very reminiscent of the shadow that lies on the soldier’s helmet from this lesson.
Before applying shadows, determine the location of the light source - our light falls on the soldier from the front, the source is located approximately at the height of his height, and since the soldier is slightly turned to the right of us, we will shade the side to our left.
We will apply the shadow on the helmet with light but frequent cross-hatching, achieving the density we need by adjusting the pressure on the pencil and selecting the optimal number of layers of crossed hatching. Don't forget to mark the strip of reflex light that is located along the edges of the helmet.
Step 15
Let's apply a shadow to our left hand. Please note that almost every fold casts a light shadow, and in the area of the trapezius and deltoid muscles the shadow is especially thick.
Step 16
Light cross-hatching will indicate the shadows on the body, increasing the number of layers in the most densely shaded areas.
Step 17
In conclusion, I would like to show you one video, a quote from which we used at the beginning of our lesson. This impressive video sequence was created from footage of the cult Soviet film “Officers”, and the music was written by the talented composer Evgeniy Agranovich.
Actually, all that remains is to apply a very light shadow to the soldier’s legs and our drawing is ready.
This was a lesson about that from the Drawingforall website, all the best to you, don’t forget your grandparents - your attention is incredibly important to them. Come to us for new lessons and write in the comments your suggestions regarding their topics. Happy upcoming holiday everyone!
In general, drawing a person is not an easy task. We have already tried to depict on a sheet,. You can even remember these lessons before starting. Because today the task has become more difficult. Not only do you need to determine the proportions of the body, you will need to think through the details: pose, objects in your hands, facial expression. That is, everything that will help us show a brave, armed, but at the same time drawn soldier. And in general, defending the Motherland is not an easy task. So, we thought for a second, remembered the films, and maybe someone we knew who wears a military uniform. Now let's get started.
Step one. Our entire drawing depends on it. Draw with a thin line, carefully and accurately. Oval head, with cross-shaped center lines. The vertical line of the neck, wide shoulders, turning into a large body, consisting of two large parts. Confident foot stance. For now we’re just sketching out the big details. In this picture, our soldier seems to be holding a stick in his hands. In the future, it should turn into a worthy weapon. 
Step two. We will add a chin to the oval face; its shape will give character to the person. A rectangular one will make him more masculine, a triangular one will make him more assertive, and an oval one will make him soft and kind. Let's draw the eyebrow part of the headdress. From eye level down we will show the ears. 
Step three. At the intended level we draw the eyes, along the vertical line - but also the mouth. And then the details: a sharp collar, rectangular shoulder straps, a hat. 
Step four. Let's show the details of the firearm. Let's finish drawing the hand. 
Step five. We draw in detail the second hand, a military jacket, a bag, buttons and pockets on it. 
Step six. A few more details on the machine and large pockets on the leg. By the way, you can determine the number and location of pockets yourself or look at the photos to find out how to draw a soldier present. 
Step seven. There are a few left - these are boots 
Step eight. Erase the center lines on the face. Let's highlight and circle large details. 
Well, our drawn soldier is ready for battle. And the machine gun in his hands is almost like a real one. I'm sure you will now know how to draw a soldier with a pencil and everything will work out for you. Good luck! I still recommend it.
Today we will tell you what drawings on the theme of war you can draw for the holiday “Victory Day”. This great holiday informs us that in 1945 we won a victory over Nazi Germany.

2. In the trench (a military man shoots from a trench, a doctor bandages a wound in a trench);
3. Portrait of a military man or full-length;
4. The return of a soldier from the war.

How to learn to draw a tank, a military plane or a rocket with a pencil - this is what you can learn, and if you come up with a drawing theme and combine several of our lessons into one, you will get a complete drawing on the theme of the Great Patriotic War!
2 variants of St. George ribbons
And here are 2 options for tanks for your drawing. It’s difficult to draw them, but it’s possible with the help of our lessons.
We draw various military equipment: airplane, helicopter, rocket. All the lessons below will help even a novice artist draw a picture on the theme of the Great Patriotic War.
Drawing on the theme of Victory
If you need to draw a greeting card, then here are lessons on drawing a card with a pencil (everything is explained step by step). The cards depict symbols of victory, and the inscriptions “Happy Victory Day!” are beautifully executed.
On the card you will draw a beautiful number 9, congratulatory inscriptions, stars and ribbons.
And here is a drawing of a military order, a St. George ribbon and an inscription for Victory Day.
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 a plane 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 hostility towards it and the destructive consequences it leaves behind.
Color and paints of military drawing
Each person who undertakes to draw on a military theme sees his future drawing in his 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 displaying 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. Taking all this into account, the Great Patriotic War is often depicted on a sheet of paper 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 gray-haired veteran and his family, can also be attributed to the military theme of the 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.
