How to draw

Draw a loose circle at the top of the sheet.

Mark two ovals on the sides of the figure.

Within the large shapes, draw two small horizontal ovals. You will have a bow.

Draw a long oval at the bottom of the sheet. It lies obliquely.

Make the second shape - mirrored to the first.

On both sides, use curved lines to connect the ovals with a bow. Bells will turn out. The part on the right slightly obscures the part on the left.

Draw circles inside the large ovals. Release two vertical lines from them. Get tongues.

Sketch spruce branches on the sides of the bow.

Take the yellow pastel. Lightly paint over bells, twigs, and a bow with it.

How to draw a bell: color bells, twigs, and a bow

Make vertical orange strokes on the sides of the bells. Add the same color to the small circles inside the ovals.

Take the red crayon. Draw some horizontal stripes on the bells. Shade the bow.

Gently emphasize the lower parts of the bells with black. Make some vertical stripes on the bow to show the folds. Add shadow to the ovals inside the shapes you made in the second step.

Decorate the bell on the right with small circles. For this, a blue crayon is suitable.

Draw some small squares on the detail on the left.

Take the green chalk. Paint over the spruce branches with it. You can get out of the edges of the contours. This will show you the needles.

Add some horizontal strokes to the bells.

Decorate the background. To do this, draw snowflakes with blue chalk. Make them different sizes.

How to draw a bell with paints

What is needed

Paper;
masking tape (optional);
simple pencil;
gouache;
Toothbrush;
palette;
flat bristly brush;
medium and fine synthetic round brushes.

How to draw

Prepare a sheet of white paper. If desired, it can be fixed on the table with masking tape.

Draw a horizontal oval with a simple pencil. Try to sharpen the tips.

Draw two curved lines from the edges of the shape. At the top, they should connect smoothly. You will get a bell.

Draw an arc at the top of the part. This is a mount.

Draw a small line inside the bell with a ball at the end. Get a tongue.

Take a bristly brush. Paint the background around the pencil sketch with white gouache. Then apply a blue tint to the previous layer. Make long, slanting strokes. Let dry.

How to draw a bell: paint over the background

Paint the bell with red or crimson. Use a synthetic round brush.

Mix the red gouache with a little black. Trace the outline of the oval. It should be thicker at the top than at the bottom.

Add some water to the shade. It will become paler. Draw the detail that holds the ball. Don't try to make it straight. Let it be a chain of several small circles.

At the top you have outlined the mount, paint on it.

Make a vertical row of small balls. This is the chain on which the bell hangs.

Mix red and black again. The second should be slightly larger than last time. Draw a wide arc over the top outline of the oval.

Decorate the bell with circles and snowflakes. If you don't want to, you can skip this step.

Take the yellow gouache. Draw a ball for her that holds on to the bottom chain.

Draw circles in white inside a wide arc. Better to use a thin brush.

On the right, circle the balls that make up the short chain.

Use the same principle to add highlights to a long detail.

Decorate the bell with white snowflakes and stars. Their location and size can be determined independently.

Add light strokes to the inside of the oval and to the ball.

To show volume, draw horizontal short stripes on the bell on the left.

Take green paint and a bristled brush. Stroke in opposite directions to outline the spruce branch to the right of the bell.

Draw a few more branches of different sizes. Make them wherever you want. They can be, for example, under the bell.

How to draw a bell: draw some more branches

Mix the green gouache with a little black. The result will be a dark shade. Add it to the center parts of the parts. Try to imitate needles.

How to draw a bell: add shadow to the branches

Use white to show snow. Apply it to the branches with short strokes.

Scoop up the white gouache with a toothbrush. Run your finger over the bristles so that the splatter hits the design.

How to draw bells with a marker

What is needed

Paper;
black marker.

How to draw

Draw a small circle.

Mark two more next to the figure. They go slightly behind each other. These are berries.

How to draw a bell: add two more circles

On the right, draw the outline of the holly leaf. Make many small angular protrusions at its edges.

Draw a horizontal, curved line within the shape. Add some short lines. You will get streaks.

Using the same principle, draw another leaf over the berries, but thinner.

Draw a large oval at the bottom of the sheet. It lies obliquely.

From the edges of the shape, release two curved lines. They go for the berries. You will have a bell.

Draw an arc over the top outline of the oval.

Draw another arc near the bottom of the bell.

From the tip of the shape you made in the previous step, release a curved line. Let her go behind the sheet. You will have the silhouette of the second bell.

Draw an arc at the bottom of the part.

Draw a tongue inside the first bell. It's a circle on a stick.

Draw two more leaves to the left of the berries. The lower one should be partially hidden behind the bell.

How to draw a bell with colored pencils

What is needed

Paper;
simple pencil;
eraser;
black gel pen;
colour pencils.

How to draw

Draw a long vertical arc with a simple pencil.

From the ends of the shape, release two short vertical lines downward.

Connect the lines with horizontal arcs at the top and bottom. You will have the silhouette of a bell.

Draw a semicircle to the bottom of the part. This is the tongue. At the top, sketch an inverted triangle without a tip. You will get a sketch of the tie.

Draw a semicircle and an inverted triangle

Draw a bow. These are two horizontal triangles that look in different directions with their bases. Make arcs in the upper parts of the parts.

Use curved lines to mark the ribbons. Using the eraser, erase the outline of the bell that was inside the parts. Draw three small circles on the tie.

Draw two horizontal oblong drops inside the bow.

From the bottom circle on the string, extend down two curved lines.

At the top of the sheet, draw two oblique lines running parallel to each other. This will be a branch.

Draw needles to the shape that you made in the previous step. They resemble narrow and elongated triangles in shape. Depict as much as you like.

With an elongated arc, mark the thread on which the bell hangs.

At the bottom of the bell, you can write something if you want.

Make two horizontal stripes on the bell.

Take the yellow pencil. Paint over the bell with it. Leave some free space for the highlight.

Draw in black the shadow under the bow. Accentuate the horizontal stripes. Create a transition from the arc at the bottom of the part to the center. Shade the tongue.
