How to teach children to draw stick figures? What is the basic knowledge of stick figure?

All children love animals, and they love to hear their parents tell stories about the animal kingdom. I especially like watching cartoons. Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Sheriff Black Cat and other charming images, so children also like to draw animal stick figures best. So how can parents meet their children's requirements and guide them to draw good animal stick figures?

To teach children to draw animals, we should first guide them to observe animals correctly. When parents take their children to the zoo to play, they will find that some animals have oval bodies; Elephants have the longest noses among animals. A stinging nose is the sharpest; Hippos have the largest mouth; Giraffes have the longest necks; The rabbit has the shortest tail and so on. While guiding children to observe, we should also tell them more about animal knowledge and living habits to help them find out the rules.

To draw a good animal stick figure, we should start with the most basic ellipse. Because children are familiar with the ellipse, it is easy to draw it. On the basis of instructing children to draw the ellipse, we add lines to the top, bottom, left and right sides or inside or outside of the ellipse from shallow to deep, and some animals with different shapes will come alive.

If children draw an oval shape with a short tail at one end, a living tadpole will appear in front of them.

To draw a goldfish, first draw an oval fish body, then draw a round fish eye, draw an arc fish mouth between the eyes, and finally draw a wavy fish tail. Drawing a frog is the same as drawing a goldfish. First, draw an oval frog body, then draw two round eyes, then draw four curved legs on both sides of the body, and draw several patterns on the body.

Some animals are not oval in body, but their lying posture is oval. Such as kittens, lambs, cows, foxes, etc.

If we draw standing horses, old cows, lambs, roosters and other animals, we can guide children to summarize them in other geometric shapes. Picture a cow, its body is rectangular, its head is inverted trapezoidal, and then add ears, eyes, mouth, horns, tail and legs at appropriate positions. The cock's body is an oblique triangle. Just add its mouth, eyes, comb, legs, claws and tail to the appropriate position of the oblique triangle.

To draw animals, children should be taught to draw some static and simple animals that children are familiar with. After practicing for ordinary time, teach children to draw some dynamic animals.
