From the title it is already clear what will be discussed. We will be studying how to draw war with a pencil step by step. It will not be Star Wars and Darth Vader, and not even a shooter game, but a real war! Three soldiers in a trench, with heaps of military equipment. In order to draw all this, you need a lot of knowledge about military affairs. Of course, you can sit down to play WoT, but in the end you won’t draw anything. Who does not know this is such a super action with the participation of tanks, which has gathered a huge mass of gamers in our country. By the way, the yellow-faced Chinese are no less addicted to this. It seems that half of their population is involved in sports, judging by the number of Olympic medals in 2012, but the second is mired in the whirlpool of online games. For the fact that half of our population has been staring at an LCD monitor for two years now, while at the same time managing to smear a gaming mouse with greasy fingers from dinner and pour coffee on the clave ... let's say “Thank you” Wargaming in unison! Although God is with him. Now let's digress from tanks and try to draw military operations involving real ones. There are five steps ahead.
How to draw war with a pencil step by step
Step One First, let's outline the people in motion. Head, body position, arms, legs. 
Step Two Now let's think about what will be around our soldiers: this is a fence, stones, logs. Let's show their contours. 
Step Three Let's dress our combatants: helmet, pants, boots. Let's supply one of them with a bag. Draw the profile of the face closest to us. We wrap the fence with barbed wire. 
Step Four Let's add details: thorns on the wire, belts on people's clothes, a shoulder blade, etc. 
Step Five Let's do the hatching. There are darker areas on the clothes at the folds. Darken the areas on the pillars. Well, here are the soldiers against the backdrop of a military and completely non-picturesque landscape.

Step-by-step instructions for practical drawing of tanks, planes and helicopters in the process of mastering the art of black and white and halftone graphics.
We suggest you learn how to draw domestic, mainly Russian, samples of military equipment in their modern form in a phased method.
Remember! Any mistake made at the very beginning of the drawing process can hopelessly ruin the final result. You may find it difficult at first to draw curvilinear contours (round, egg-shaped or similar to a sausage) or even to stick a pencil across the paper to the intended point. Do not despair! Stay enthusiastic, keep drawing with perseverance and patience. The more practice, the higher the skill. If you wish, you can use a compass - professional artists do not consider it shameful for themselves.
Items needed for work: a clean white sheet of good quality paper, a pencil with medium hard or soft lead, an eraser. Compasses, ink, feather, brush, ballpoint pen, felt-tip pen - optional.
Choose a sample of military equipment that you want to draw. With light touches of the pencil, without pressure, very carefully and carefully apply strokes to the paper that make up the initial (first) "step" - usually it is located in the upper left corner on the pattern you have chosen. Then take the second "step" - also without pressure and just as carefully. Follow not only the direction and curvature of the lines, but also the distance between them, that is, their relative position. The size of the drawing should match the size of your sheet of paper - neither too small nor too large. The first "steps" seem to be the least difficult, but they must be carried out with particular precision, because any mistake made at the beginning of the process can ruin the final result.
It is also very useful to look at the reflection of your work in the mirror from time to time - it can reveal distortions that you would otherwise not be able to notice.
The new lines for each "step" are shown in bolder in the scheme, so that it is easier for you to recognize what exactly should be added to your drawing at the next stage. Continue working as before with light, thin strokes. If some line turned out to be too thick or dark - lighten it with an eraser: draw it along the line without much pressure, without trying to erase it completely.
And a few more tips. Remember that for all the apparent complexity of some objects, they can always be reduced to simple geometric shapes: a ball, a cone, a pyramid, a cube, a parallelepiped, a cylinder.
Try to draw the technique not from the front, but from more advantageous angles, taking into account the perspective, so that they do not look flat, but voluminous.
You can also "cheat" a little when depicting complex details: in order not to be distracted from the integrity of the image and not to waste too much time, you can draw them approximately, as a complex of expressive strokes, dots, underlines, wavy lines.
Well, of course, say, ships do not exist on their own, but, as a rule, organically fit into the surrounding landscape. Therefore, the elements of the landscape - the sea, the river, the rocks, even if only slightly outlined - will greatly enliven and enrich the drawing.
When you have finished applying light strokes, that is, having completed the entire eight "steps" shown in the selected diagram, and making sure that all the elements of your drawing correspond to the desired image, outline them with confident pencil movements with the necessary pressure. After this final finishing, the drawing can be considered ready. If desired, you can increase the contrast of the lines using ink (using a thin brush or steel feather), a ballpoint pen, or a felt-tip pen. When the ink, paste, or ink is dry, use an eraser to remove any unnecessary pencil marks.
Remember: if the first attempts to draw do not lead to the desired result - keep trying. It is very important not to lose perseverance, patience, enthusiasm. In the end, your efforts will be crowned with complete success - at that moment you may not immediately believe yourself, but you will still be pleasantly surprised by what you have achieved.
We sincerely hope that your drawing skills will improve and the long time spent on recreating the images of all these formidable and in their own way beautiful examples of technology will not be wasted.

"War Through the Eyes of Children". Drawings and reflections
Photo report from the exhibition of children's drawings "The Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945".
Voronkina Lyudmila Artemyevna, teacher of additional education MBOUDOD DTDM, o. Tolyatti
Target:
fostering a sense of pride and gratitude to the soldiers and officers of the Great Patriotic War who saved humanity from fascism;
teaching respect for veterans.
The audience: for all ages from 6 years old….
The war of 1941-1945 left us for sixty-nine years, but its cruel tragic image, 1418 anxious days and nights of the Great Patriotic War with the fascist hordes will forever remain in the memory of mankind. The exploits of those who liberated the people from enslavement, saved world civilization and brought the long-awaited peace to people will never be forgotten.
Not much time will pass and the opportunity to recreate the "living history" of the war will be destroyed forever. That is why the interest of children in the events of the terrible 40 years on the eve of the 69th anniversary of the Great Victory is so valuable.
What drives the guys, what encourages them to return again and again to the events of 70 years ago? They are looking for their past, their roots, studying the history of the war not only from fiction, documentary essays about the war, but also from the memories of grandfathers and great-grandfathers passed down from generation to generation. Young authors recorded their stories - this is the living history of the Great Patriotic War. We, adults, understand that the worst thing that could happen to our ordinary children, who, fortunately, did not hear the howl of bombs, who did not know the horrors of war, is ignorance and insensitivity. The worst thing is that without yesterday there is neither today nor tomorrow.
For the essays “War through the eyes of children”, for the respect shown to veterans who defended the independence of our Motherland in a fierce battle with fascism, for the memory of the heroic past of our people, I thank the pupils of the creative association “Needlewoman”:
Plekhanova Irina
Kivilevich Anastasia
Neverova Oksana
Balanyuk to Evelina
Manakhova Elizabeth
I thank the young artists participating in the fine art competition "Forever in the memory of the people."
Many years have passed since the Great Patriotic War, but the stories of grandfathers and great-grandfathers resurrect the terrible image of the past, so that we know that it was so, so that we would protect the world that the soldiers won for us. To remember the heroes who gave the Motherland a Great Victory!
The most significant day in our history. The day Nazi Germany fell. The day the Soviet flag was raised over the Reichstag. The day that went down in history as the day of the greatness of the Soviet Army. This day is May 9th.
On the eve of the main holiday of the country, our creative association hosted a contest of essays and drawings "War through the Eyes of Children". An exhibition of children's drawings on the theme "The Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945" began its work. The exposition presents works in different genres. The drawings exhibited in the hall are the work of our pupils, young and old. Some of the artists have recently turned 7 years old, but their paintings are already on display at the exhibition.
June. Russia. Sunday.
Dawn in the arms of silence.
A fragile moment remains
Until the first shots of the war.
In a second the world will explode
Death will lead the parade alle
And the sun will go out forever
For millions on earth.
A mad flurry of fire and steel
It won't turn back on its own.
Two "supergods": Hitler - Stalin,
And between them a terrible hell.
June. Russia. Sunday.
Country on the verge: to be not to be...
And this terrible moment
We will never forget...
(D. Popov)
Children of war, you did not know childhood.
The horror of those years from the bombing in the eyes.
You lived in fear. Not everyone survived.
Bitterness-wormwood and now on the lips.
Svetlana Sirena.
author: Vasilyeva Lena 7 years old
The war passed through the children's lives menacingly,
It was difficult for everyone, it was difficult for the country,
But childhood is seriously mutilated:
Children suffered greatly from the war.
V. Shamshurin
Country Alert:
The enemy crept up, Like a thief at night.
Coming to our cities
Fascist black horde.
But we will reject the enemy so
How strong is our hatred,
What are the dates of the current attacks
The people will glorify for centuries.
(A. Barto)
The barge accepted the precious cargo -
The children of the blockade sat in it.
Faces unchildish, the color of starch,
In the heart - grief.
The girl held the doll to her chest.
The old tug has moved away from the pier,
Pulled a barge to far Kobona.
Ladoga gently rocked the kids,
Hiding a big wave for a while.
The girl, hugging the doll, dozed off.
A black shadow ran across the water,
Two "Messerschmitts" fell into a dive.
Bombs, baring fuses sting,
Angrily howled in a mortal throw.
The girl pressed the doll harder ...
The explosion tore the barge apart and crushed it.
Ladoga suddenly opened up to the bottom
And swallowed up both old and small.
Only one doll came up,
The one that the girl pressed to her chest ...
The wind of the past shakes the memory,
In strange visions disturbs in a dream.
I often dream of big eyes
Those who remained on the Ladoga bottom.
Dreaming, as in a dark, damp depth
The girl is looking for a floating doll.
(A. Molchanov)
Last first fight
The bells have rung,
The ground is burning and the tracks of tanks are clanging.
The flare went up
Shattered into thousands of remains.
And so the first platoon went on the attack,
There are boys who are nineteen.
Tell me fate, what's your turn?
And how many times to attack?
He was the first to go: handsome, young,
His fiancee wrote to him yesterday.
The last was the first fight -
An accidental explosion and the boy was gone.
Get up, soldier!
Well, why are you quiet?
Get up, dear!
The earth will give you strength...
But he didn't get up. The poet will write a poem
And read aloud over the mass grave.
It was forty-one. There was a fierce fight
For the Motherland, for the blue sky.
For you and me to breathe...
Let's remember those who did not come from the battle.
N. Seleznev.
Russia will not forget beardless faces
Protecting the sunrise of the cornflower blue spring.
We'll never dream of anything again
So watch our young dreams for us.
We will never wear our orders
And in the parade along the stands we will not pass.
We are dead, but we and the dead believe:
The history of our names will not be forgotten.
We will return home to stay there forever,
We will sing the last song in the churches.
After all, the Russian soldier does not know how to surrender,
If he defends his Fatherland.
Stepan Kadashnikov
Soldier, remembering his way to the end,
Sheds bitter tears.
And the fallen are all alive in our hearts, -
Silently stand next to us.
(V. Snegirev ■)
Horses can swim
But - not good. Near.
"Gloria" - in Russian - means "Glory", -
It will be easy for you to remember.
There was a ship, proud of its name,
The ocean is trying to overcome.
In the hold, kindly shaking muzzles,
A thousand horses trampled day and night.
A thousand horses! Four thousand horseshoes!
They didn't bring happiness.
Mina pierced the bottom of the ship
Far, far from earth.
People got into the boats, climbed into the boats.
The horses swam just like that.
What were they to do, the poor, if
No places on boats and rafts?
A red island floated on the ocean.
In the sea in blue, the bay island floated.
And at first it seemed - easy to swim,
The ocean seemed like a river to them.
But it is not visible by the river of that region,
Running out of horsepower
Suddenly the horses neighed, objecting
Those who drowned them in the ocean.
The horses went to the bottom and neighed, neighed,
All have gone to the bottom.
That's all. And yet I feel sorry for them -
Red, who did not see the earth.
So today, continuing the military theme and ignoring all kinds of fantasy, and the like, we will draw a really cool dude with a sniper rifle. In anticipation, I'll tell you a little about snipers: So, a sniper is a specially trained dude who will give odds to any eagle eye, because, aiming at a small eye, he manages to hit the target exactly and hit this very target. But what are snipers:
- Sniper saboteur. This is the one found in many computer games. Works alone or with a partner. In every possible way he tries not to give himself away: quieter than water, lower than grass, that is. It can also kill at a distance of 1.5 - 2 kilometers. The weapon is a first-class, accurate rifle with a silencer.
- Infantry sniper. Works with infantry. He shoots at important targets under the general broads, because he doesn’t need a silencer. The distance is usually up to 400 meters, there is no time to aim especially.
- Police sniper. Well, this one is generally a loser compared to the previous two: it shoots at a distance of no more than two hundred meters. But not everything is so simple, it turns out. Usually the perpetrator is armed and has already pointed his cannon at the helpless victim. So you need to shoot in such a way as to hit the finger and prevent this bastard from shooting.
So let's get creative.
How to draw military equipment with a pencil step by step
Step one At the top of the sheet, draw an oval-head. From her down - a large torso. With large oval figures we outline other parts of the body. In the hands of a person is military equipment, but so far it is only an elongated figure. 
Step Two Gradually turn all the defining details into the human body. Some of the clothing details are already visible. Let's give the desired shape to the rifle. 
Step Three We draw clothes: a T-shirt, a cap, tucked up pants, as well as shoes. Let's pay more attention to weapons. It is gripped by strong gloved fingers. By the way, there are folds on the trousers and gloves. Now let's move on to the face. The eyes are covered with dark glasses, a small ear is clearly drawn. On the face is a thick beard. 
Step Four Everything that we have drawn needs to be strengthened: outline, add lines, and then add the missing details. This is how we got a strong man, holding a serious barrel in his hands and carefully following the target. 
I also advise you to look at the drawing lessons of other types of weapons, for example.
One of the most exciting pages in the history of the Great Patriotic War was and remains the theme of military childhood. Children and adolescents worked on an equal footing with adults at enterprises and collective farms, volunteered for the front and became children of regiments, gave their savings to the USSR Defense Fund 1 and joined partisan detachments. And on the pages of newspapers, children tried to keep up with adults: for example, to the editorial office of the Pionerskaya Pravda newspaper, as well as a number of other publications for children and youth that continued their work during the war years, children sent drawings, poems about the war, and even cartoons in German soldier. Among the letters and drawings there are both childishly naive (see doc. N 2), and letters from schoolchildren who tried to write and draw "in an adult way." In particular, the guys mastered caricatures of the enemy - a satirical genre, characteristic primarily of "adult" Soviet newspapers.
One of the most popular newspapers among schoolchildren was Pionerskaya Pravda, the printed organ of the Central and Moscow Committees of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League. With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the structure of the newspaper was rebuilt to take into account wartime. Since June 1941, several special wartime headings appeared on the pages of Pionerskaya Pravda: “From the Soviet Information Bureau”, “Pioneer piggy bank of scrap metal”, etc. Stories, feuilletons, poems, cartoons as employees of the newspaper were published in the satirical heading “On the Bayonet” and famous writers and poets, and readers. We publish several children's cartoons and letters to them below.
Drawings are children's weapons
Schoolchildren, to the best of their ability, tried to participate in the activities of the pioneer newspaper. Among the drawings you can find not too skillful, and quite professional. From the "adult" genre of caricatures to children's caricatures, also different in execution technique, one of the main principles passed - the image of an enemy with bestial features, more like an animal than a person. Soviet fighters and nurses in children's drawings were examples of heroism and selfless service to the Motherland.
In addition, schoolchildren responded vividly to stories about the exploits of Komsomol war heroes. So, in the drawing by V. Arkhipovsky "Death of "Tanya"", obviously, the execution of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, captured by the Germans while performing a combat mission in the village of Petrishchevo, is depicted. During interrogation, she called herself Tanya, and for the first time they learned about her feat from Peter Lidov's article "Tanya", published in the Pravda newspaper on January 27, 1942.
Children's cartoons and drawings about the war, published below, are part of a set of documents collected in wartime for display at the exhibition "Komsomol in the Patriotic War" at the State Historical Museum (SMM).
Exhibitions about heroism
At a meeting of the secretariat of the Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League on May 2, 1942, an official decision was made to organize an exhibition 2 that would highlight the heroism of Komsomol members and youth in the fight against the enemy at the front and in the rear. Initially, the opening of the exposition was scheduled for the anniversary of the start of the Great Patriotic War - June 22, 1942. In reality, the first exposition was deployed in 1943 in the State Historical Museum. About 40 artists and sculptors took part in the design of the exhibition. In 1944, the Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League decided that the exhibition should exhibit materials not only about the Komsomol, but also about Soviet youth in general, in connection with this, the exhibition became known as "Komsomol and Youth in the Patriotic War."
In January 1949, the exposition "Komsomol and Youth in the Patriotic War" was included in the exhibition prepared for the 30th anniversary of the Komsomol (November 1948). In September 1949, this exhibition was called "Lenin-Stalin Komsomol". In July 1953 the exhibition was closed. The material exhibits of the exhibition were mainly transferred to Moscow museums - Historical, Revolution, Soviet Army. Documents and some material relics were transferred to the archive of the Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League. Later, the archival and museum collection of the Central Committee of the Komsomol was replenished with materials received from the participants in the events and their relatives. At present, the set of exhibition documents is fund M-7 "Documents of the Exhibition of the Central Committee of the Komsomol" Lenin-Stalin Komsomol "(1942-1953)" RGASPI. Separate materials of the exhibition are also included in fund N M-14 "Museum materials on the history of the youth movement in the USSR and Russia".
Published documents are stored in the fund M-7 RGASPI and reproduced with the preservation of spelling, punctuation and stylistic features of the texts.
The publication was prepared by Natalia Volkhonskaya, chief specialist of the department of scientific and information work and the scientific reference apparatus of the RGASPI.

Dear editor!
I send you two of my cartoons, and ask you to write what is wrong in them (in the text). I live next to S. Sofronov, who sent you the cartoons. He is my friend. Before that, I lived in Moscow and was with you at the editorial office of Pionerskaya Pravda, I don’t remember what year, but I only remember that I was there when the play Gorky’s Childhood was being read. There were guys from the class in which I studied, namely: Yulia Rogova, Lenya Novobytov, Galya Osokina and me.
I would love to stay in Moscow, but circumstances developed in such a way that I had to go with my dad to the city of Kirov, where I am now.
I am 16 years old, I live on Karl Marx Street, house 8 sq. 9. Oleg Tikhonov. I'll send another cartoon soon.
