In this lesson we will look at how to draw the Great Patriotic War (WWII) of 1941-1945 with a pencil step by step. This is the war of the USSR against Germany and its allies. The Second World War itself began on September 1, 1939. If you are interested in how it all began and what were the prerequisites for its development, then read the article on Wikipedia. But let's start drawing.

Draw a horizon - a horizontal line, it is located approximately 1/3 of the top of the sheet. Draw a country road below and place three soldiers, the further away, the smaller the scale. Click on the picture to enlarge.

We draw houses and hills on the horizon, then the farthest soldier, he should not be big. Click on the image to see the details.

We draw the second one with a weapon behind a hillock, its head and body are slightly larger than the previous one, about 1.5 times.

Draw a soldier with a weapon on foreground.

Apply dark areas on the bodies of the soldiers and on the weapons, draw a little grass.

Use strokes to define the grass, slopes and field.

Now more in a light tone we imitate smoke from fires, shade the steppe part, and highlight the hillock and trench in the foreground. This is how you can draw it.

The Second World War(September 1, 1939 - September 2, 1945) - the war of two world military-political coalitions, which became biggest war in the history of mankind. 61 states out of 73 existing at that time participated in it (80% of the population globe). Fighting were conducted on the territory of three continents and in the waters four oceans. This is the only conflict in which nuclear weapons were used.

Here is a lesson on this topic that we have prepared for you. It shows a fight between two soldiers on the battlefield. This drawing is quite simple to make; you can color it with pencils, paints or any other way.

We have also prepared pictures for you to draw. There is children's drawing on the topic of war and several examples of pictures on the same topic. You can simply sit in front of your computer and draw any of these pictures with a pencil.

And also here are some variants of drawings on the theme of war, drawn with a pencil or pen.

Children's drawing on the theme of war

Especially for beginning artists, we have developed several step-by-step lessons. 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!

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.

On the card you will draw a beautiful number 9, congratulatory inscriptions, stars and ribbons.

And here is a drawing of a military order, St. George Ribbon and an inscription for Victory Day.

From the title it is already clear what we will talk about. We will study how to draw war with a pencil step by step. It won't be star Wars and Darth Vader and not even a shooter game, but a real war! Three soldiers in a trench, with piles of military equipment. In order to draw all this, you will need a lot of knowledge about military affairs. You can, of course, sit down to play WoT, but in the end you won’t draw anything. Who doesn’t know this is such a super action game with the participation of tanks, which has gathered a huge number of gamers in our country. By the way, the yellow-faced Chinese are no less interested in this. It seems they have half the population involved in sports, judging by the number Olympic medals 2012, but the second one got mired in the whirlpool of online games. For the fact that half of our population has been staring at the LCD monitor for two years now, at the same time managing to stain the gaming mouse with greasy fingers from dinner and pour coffee on the keyboard... let’s all say “Thank you” to Wargaming! Although God bless him. Now let's take a break from tanks and try to draw military actions with the participation of real ones. There are five steps ahead.

How to draw a war with a pencil step by step

Step one First, let's outline the people in motion. Head, position of the torso, 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 outlines.
Step three Let's dress our fighters: helmet, pants, boots. Let's equip one of them with a bag. Let’s draw the face profile of the one closest to us. We will surround the fence with barbed wire.
Step Four Let's add details: barbs on the wire, belts on people's clothes, a spatula, etc.
Step five Let's do the shading. There are darker areas on the clothing at the folds. Let's darken the areas on the pillars. Well, here are the soldiers against the backdrop of a military and completely unpicturesque landscape.

The Great Patriotic War is a page in our history that cannot be ignored. For a peaceful sky, for bread on the table, we are indebted to our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who, without sparing their lives, fought against a fierce enemy for the sake of a happy future for their children.

As a sign of eternal memory and respect in our country, it is customary to give veterans flowers and themed cards made by small children's hands. Such masterpieces are worth more than any awards, because they testify that even children know and are proud of the exploits of their ancestors.
