The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the traditional Chinese festivals and a very important festival. On this day, people eat rice dumplings, race dragon boats, hang mugwort and so on. On this special day, we can also express our love and blessings for the Dragon Boat Festival through drawing. Let’s learn some simple and beautiful ways to draw during the Dragon Boat Festival!
Material preparation
Before we start painting, we need to prepare some materials. First, we need a piece of drawing paper, preferably white. Then we need a pencil, a fine tip black pen and some colored pens or colored pencils. Also, if you want a richer effect, prepare some colored paper and scissors.
Step 1: Draw a dragon boat
First, we can draw a dragon boat. First, use a pencil to lightly draw a rectangle on the drawing paper. This will be the hull of the dragon boat. Then, draw two pointed bows and sterns at each end of the hull. Next, we can draw some horizontal lines on the hull to represent the texture of the hull. Finally, use colored pens or colored pencils to color the dragon boat. You can choose some bright colors to make the dragon boat more beautiful.
Step 2: Draw Zongzi
Next, we can draw some zongzi. First, use a pencil to draw a triangle on the drawing paper. This is the bottom of the rice dumpling. Then, use a fine-tipped black pen to draw two curved lines on the upper part of the triangle to represent the top of the rice dumpling. Next, we can draw some vertical lines between the bottom and top of the rice dumpling to represent the texture of the rice dumpling. Finally, use colored pens or colored pencils to color the rice dumplings. You can choose some warm colors to make the rice dumplings look more delicious.
Step 3: Draw mugwort
Finally, we can draw some mugwort. First, use a pencil to draw some slender curves on the drawing paper. This is the stem of the mugwort. Then, draw some small leaves on the top of the stem to represent the leaves of the mugwort. Next, we can use colored pens or colored pencils to color the mugwort. We can choose some green colors to make the mugwort look more vivid.
End
Through the above steps, we can easily draw a Dragon Boat Festival painting. Drawing dragon boats, drawing rice dumplings, and drawing mugwort are all traditional elements of the Dragon Boat Festival and an expression of our love and blessing for this festival.
I hope that everyone can feel the joy and beauty of the Dragon Boat Festival during the painting process, and I also hope that everyone will have a pleasant and unforgettable time on this special day!
