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 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 hostile attitude towards it and devastating consequences that she leaves behind.
Color and paints of military drawing
Every person who undertakes to paint on a military theme sees his own future drawing in its 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 battle, 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.
