Bogatyri in literature
With images of mighty, intrepid, incorruptiblewarriors we meet not only on the pages of the epic. In Pushkin's famous fairy-tale poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila," there are also important personalities among the main characters. This is the main character himself, and his imaginary friends Farlaf and Ratmir, and the evil rival Ragdai, and even an occasional assistant Speaking Head.

You will understand not only how to draw a hero in general terms, but also what character traits the hero of your drawing should possess. Not only mighty growth, strong physique and a menacing look are inherent in the ancient Russian heroes, but also sincerity, good nature, intelligence, savvy. The Russian people endowed them with such qualities. Try and implement them on a sheet of paper, planning how to draw a hero in your picture.
Attention to detail
Heroes drawings should be recognizable to yourviewers did not have to guess who is on them. It is important to remember: before you draw a hero, you should consider and try to reproduce more precisely the details of clothing, the distinctive elements of the suit (armor), weapons. The head of the knight must have a helmet with a small visor - a plate that protects the bridge of the nose and part of the face from damage during combat. It will not do without mail - a kind of "shirt", woven from thin, but strong metal rings. The gate is round, the sleeves extend to the elbow, the length to the middle of the thighs or knees. Color - yellowish or silvery-white. In what position, how to draw a Russian hero - standing next to a horse or sitting on a mighty horse - depends on how confidently you own a pencil and whether you can cope with the image of the animal. Must be traced heroic weapons: bow with arrows in the quiver and a sword damask on the belt. Plus a large, full-length, shield. On his feet - high boots, on his hands - gloves. A cloak-cape can spread over his shoulders.
Getting Started
And now specifically: how to draw a hero in stages.
- First make a sketch outline: a small oval, a trunk-trunk, dashes indicating hands and feet.
- Then, with a thin lead, draw the contours of the body around the "skeleton". Give the volume. Your hero should not be fat, but puny to do it - then retreat from the rules.
- Observe the proportions: they are important in order that your hero could make a really impressive impression. To do this, we remind you some rules of the golden section relative to the human figure: the trunk and legs should be equal in length (or plus / minus a couple of centimeters, if the pattern is large, and a couple of millimeters - if small); the ratio of the chest to the pelvis should go 10: 9; the length of the hand can reach the middle of the thigh, and in the bent form the elbow is at the waist level. If it is more convenient for you, then draw a section of the sheet where the hero will be located, corresponding to the "coordinate system" and orientate on it already.
- Now clothes. The color of the mail was already mentioned. Shirt and pants color to your taste. Cape make either red, with a decorative border, or brown or black discreet. Boots are scarlet or brown.
- Head and face. A helmet is required, a beard or mustache is possible. Necessarily strictly frowned brows: still a hero, a formidable guardian of Russian lands!
- Now a weapon and a shield, which need to be given more attention. Write them carefully.
- You can draw a horse, or you can not. Instead of it, represent a forest lawn, a birch tree - you will get a deeply symbolic picture!
Good luck in your work!
