The battle of Stalingrad in the form of a pencil drawing can be done by young children if a simple picture is taken as a model. There are a lot of photos and various pictures on the Internet that well describe one of the most significant battles in World War II.
Battle of Stalingrad pencil drawing photo
Drawing on the theme of the Battle of Stalingrad, made in pencil, looks interesting and realistic, if you add shading to the artwork. But only older children or those who have the necessary level of skills will cope with such a task.
Battle of Stalingrad pencil drawing, where to start?
Of course, you can always take a photo of the theme of the military battle of the Battle of Stalingrad as an example or a picture for inspiration, but for simple drawing choose a minimalistic photo, with a small amount of small details.
In order for the work to turn out beautiful and neat, it is worth practicing with the drawing of various elements. On a separate leaf, it is desirable to draw clear geometric shapes, smooth lines that will make the drawing less angular. You can also consider examples of drawings of weapons used by the Red Army.
From the tools you need to take a minimum:
- a few sheets for sketches;
- sheet A4 for main work, final drawing;
- pencils soft and hard;
- an eraser to remove auxiliary lines;
- ruler.
A simple drawing of the Battle of Stalingrad
The battle of Stalingrad and its drawing with a pencil can be done in stages, using the instructions.
- On sheet A4, draw a horizon line, a straight line, located in 1/3 of the upper part of the leaf from above. A little lower, with smooth lines, sketch a country road. Lines do not have to be perfectly straight, but angularity and broken strokes are avoided.
- Not far from the country road we will draw soldiers, but first we will determine their scale and location. It is advisable to reduce the scale of the drawn soldiers if they are placed high on the leaf (far from the bottom edge).
- In our case, the Battle of Stalingrad, a pencil drawing will contain a minimum of detail, and three soldiers will be in the center of attention, for each of which auxiliary lines are drawn with a ruler. One line, slightly slanted to the side, close to vertical, and the other intersecting the first. This will allow you to correctly create the oval of the face, the trapezoid of the body, the lines - the basis for the arms and legs.
- Do not forget that we are drawing soldiers from the side, which means that the kids will have to help make the correct proportions of the bodies and show how to draw bent arms with weapons.
- The soldiers lie in cover hardly, each subsequent one should be about one and a half times larger than the previous one.
- At this stage, it is worth carefully considering the shape of the soldiers, for this, study the photos of the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Stalingrad.
- Carefully study the photo of the weapons of the soldiers. Older children will cope with copying, but parents will help the kids.
- After drawing the soldiers, they complete the creation by adding trees, hills near the horizon and houses to the paper. All these details are made small by placing them in the background. Grass is drawn in the foreground, for which light shading is used.
- On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad, the pencil drawing is made special, several elements are added that can convey the atmosphere of the battlefield: light shading (it can be rubbed with a small piece of paper) imitates smoke from a fire, dark highlights the bumpy terrain of hillocks and trenches.
Complicated version of the drawing of the Battle of Stalingrad
The drawing above can be taken as a basis, but a Red Army soldier running on the attack comes to the fore. Drawing a person in motion is a difficult task. But, focusing on simple guide lines, this can be done without special drawing skills.
The soldier is scaled in relation to the others, which are drawn in the prone position a little further, closer to the country road. In this case, you will have to work harder on copying the form, its important elements. Attention is paid to facial features that are located exactly in relation to the auxiliary intersecting lines. If the child has experience in drawing a face, you can play with the emotions of a soldier. Boys will also enjoy the opportunity to draw weapons.
The battle of Stalingrad, her pencil drawing, is a great opportunity to study an important historical event with a child. A wonderful gift for veterans who are familiar with wartime events firsthand. Finished work no need to color. sticking to simple rules, you can create an interesting and realistic drawing.

The other day marked the 70th anniversary of the end of the Battle of Stalingrad - one of biggest battles in the history of World War II. The defeat of the enemy during the heroic defense of Stalingrad, which lasted six months, became a turning point in the war, after which the fascist troops finally lost their strategic initiative.
The Battle of Stalingrad included an attempt by the Wehrmacht to capture the left bank of the Volga in the region of Stalingrad (modern Volgograd) and the city itself, the confrontation between the Red Army and the Wehrmacht in the city and the counteroffensive of the Red Army (Operation Uranus), as a result of which the 6th Army and other Allied forces Germany inside and near the city were surrounded, partly destroyed, and partly captured. According to rough estimates, the total losses of both sides in this battle are about two million people.
Here is a photo chronicle of that time. The photo can be enlarged.

According to rough estimates, the total losses of both sides in this battle exceed two million people. Germany and its allies lost large numbers of men and weapons and subsequently failed to fully recover from the defeat.
For the Soviet Union, which also suffered heavy losses during the battle, the victory in the Battle of Stalingrad marked the "beginning of the mass expulsion of the invaders from Soviet soil", followed by the liberation of the occupied territories of Europe and the final victory over the Third Reich in 1945.
