Any skill needs to be developed and brought to perfection; even if you have talent from birth, you need to constantly develop and hone it.
We have already told you that absolutely everyone can learn to draw, and we hope that you have already started following our advice. Today we want to touch on another “sore” topic for novice artists, namely, drawing such complex parts of the body as hands, feet and, of course, eyes. As a rule, these body parts are always the most difficult to draw and that is why it is worth giving them a little more of your time and attention when you are learning to draw.
A few basic rules:
1. It is necessary to practice drawing the palm in different positions. The same principle works here as everywhere else - Practice, practice and practice again.
2. Children's palms are thicker than their fingers.
3. A woman's palm is thinner and more graceful.
4. To make the palm more masculine, add angularity to it.
5. On the palms of older people, we place more emphasis on the knuckles and draw more wrinkled skin.
First, we need to understand a little about the anatomy of the palm. Take a close look at your hands. Your main goal is not to remember what part of the hand is called, study the proportions and shapes. Please note that the phalanges of the fingers are not on the same line, and the fingers cannot be perfectly straight and are always tilted in one direction.
The index, middle, ring and little fingers are quite closely connected and cannot be far from each other, while the thumb has a fairly wide range of motion.
Try tracing your hand and filling in the outline with details. This will help you understand a little better what the palm should look like in the drawing.
Before you start drawing a hand, you should first outline its overall size and the points at which the ends of the fingers will be located. Only after this the sketch is divided into several parts.
When drawing hands, there are generally accepted proportions. For example, the length of the palm is equal to the length of the index finger multiplied by 2. The index finger is equal to the ring finger, sometimes the ring finger can be slightly longer than the index finger. The little finger reaches the upper phalanx of the ring finger.
The nail should occupy half of the phalanx. Women's nails are drawn more rounded, and men's nails are drawn more square.
If you find it difficult to draw fingers, imagine that the phalanges are cylinders connected to each other.
Don't forget to add shadows to make your hand more realistic.
When starting to draw, try simpler options first, such as an open or unfolded palm. Gradually make the task more difficult, for example, by drawing a hand clenched into a fist.
As in the first case, before you start drawing, you need to carefully study the anatomy of the foot.
The structure of the hands and feet are somewhat similar to each other, however, the proportions will differ.
The length of the foot is usually equal to the length of the head of the person you are drawing. The foot consists of two parts - the heel and metatarsus (the part that is connected to the toes). The top of the foot rises to the top. The bone that is on the outside is always lower than the one on the inside. The bottom of the foot has a curve; it is not drawn flat. The thumb is always drawn parallel to the ground, and all the rest will be lowered towards the ground.
Another note is that if you draw the foot from above, the toes will be longer than when drawing the foot from below.
The bottom of the nail is halfway up the top joint, and the width of the nail is longer than its height. The thumb is the width of the second two fingers.
If your goal, of course, is to be able to draw portraits, then you will have to devote a lot of time to your eyes. The look is what needs to be conveyed first when drawing the eyes.
The first step is to draw the shape of the eye. In the future, when drawing portraits, you will have to devote quite a lot of time to this step, since an incorrectly shown form will ruin your entire drawing.
After this, outline the cornea. Immediately apply highlights to the pupil. Don't miss any little thing you see. The iris of the eye should not be completely round. From below and from above it is cut off by the eyelid. The iris that falls under the upper eyelid will always be slightly darker. The rest of the shadows and highlights will depend on your desire or who you are drawing.
Darken the white of your eye. Along the edges the shadows should be slightly darker.
Eyelashes are drawn as the final step. They are thicker at the base than at the end. Please note that the eyelashes are reflected slightly in the eyes.
Finally, we remind you once again that the main thing is practice. Start simple and gradually improve your skill by gradually complicating your tasks.
First, let's look at the structure of the foot: 7 tarsal bones, or ankle bones, in blue, 5 metatarsal bones, or instep, in purple, and 14 phalangeal bones, or toes (3 in each little toe and 2 in the big toe) in pink. .
2. The big toe is twice the size of the second toe, so its first joint is within the foot and can barely move.
1. There is always a more or less pronounced instep on the top of the foot.
2. Curved line.
3. The ankle is higher.
4. Line in the form of an arch.
5. Curved line.
6. Depending on the viewing angle, at least 2 fingers are drawn behind the thumb.
1. The line increases depending on how much the foot is raised.
2. Soft curved line.
3. Curved line.
4. Protrusion coming from the thumb.
2. Also, at this viewing angle, a smooth horizontal line is drawn on the foot.
You also need to consider:
1. It is necessary to draw a line behind the little finger similar to the “sixth finger”.
2. The thumb is drawn more oblique than the other fingers.
2. The thumb is usually separated from the second finger by a small gap.
1. Such bends on the finger occur only when pressing on the surface.
2. Wrinkles appear in bends.
3. As for the big toe, it is almost not curved.
1. Roughly speaking, the front of the leg drops vertically into the foot.
2. The back of the leg is lowered with a slight inclination, leaving the heel to protrude.
3. The transition between the leg and foot is connected by a small line.
1. On the inside, the leg line descends vertically.
2. From the outside - with a slight slope.
3. Convex lines are drawn on both sides to indicate the ankles. The inner ankle bone is slightly higher than the outer one.
1. Ankles are drawn on both sides. The inner bone is slightly higher than the outer one.
2. The line coming from the little finger slightly hides the ankle.
2. With this position of the legs, skin folds are formed.
Normal. The arch is clearly visible.
Wide shape: Less distance between the widest part of the foot and the top of the foot. Egyptian form. The thumb is the longest.
The plastic shape of the foot is determined by its skeleton and represents a rather difficult object to depict.
Students become familiar with the anatomical structure of the leg twice: 1) during classes on human plastic anatomy; 2) in special long-term study drawings from the skeleton of the foot, from plaster casts of the legs and from the leg of a living model.
At the same time, auxiliary sketches of individual parts, articular joints of the bones of the foot (ankle and talonavicular) together with the bones of the lower leg (tibia and fibula) are of great importance for students to understand the operation of the very complex mechanism of this part of the human figure.
When sketching a motionless figure, you can always have time to mark on the sheet the places of the footprints (the plantar side of the foot) and then, focusing on nature, place and construct, at least very generally, both feet. In short sketches, especially in quick sketches of a moving figure, this is rarely possible, and in students’ sketches it is the feet that most often remain under-drawn, which, of course, makes the auxiliary role of such sketches incomplete. You have to finish drawing them without nature, “from yourself” (from your imagination). To do this, students need to clearly understand the general shape of the foot and remember the following:
1. The structural basis of a normal foot consists of two bony arches - this is clear if you look at the trace left by a normal foot (Fig. 1). This device gives the foot springiness and elasticity during walking, running and jumping. The phalanges of the fingers placed forward, increasing the area of support, create greater stability.
2. If you look from the side of the toes at the foot standing on a horizontal plane, as well as when bending it up and straightening it down, you can see that its inner ankle is slightly higher than the outer one.
3. When placing a standing figure on the support area, both footprints are outlined, taking into account their relative positions (along the guide axes - from the heel to the big toe) (Fig. 2).
4. The placement and construction of each foot is carried out along the intended footprint in the following sequence:
a) in profile - first outline the foot, then - the visible contour line of the arch (internal or external) to the beginning of the toes (metatarsal heads), then the toe (big or little toe - depending on the side from which the foot is depicted from the inside or outside) and, accordingly, the ankle (inner or outer).
After this, the entire mass of fingers is outlined, which can then be divided into individual fingers. The general shape of the foot is completed at the top by the line of the so-called instep (corresponding to the bones of the metatarsus and tarsus), then the lower part of the lower leg and the “Achilles” tendon (Fig. 2-a).
b) in front and three-quarters - the construction begins with drawing the total mass of the toes, then the heel is marked, then the line corresponding to the arch is the ankle (or both, if they are visible) and at the end - the instep, lower leg and Achilles tendon (Fig. 2-b).
On the dorsal side, the construction of the foot begins with the heel, followed by the inner (or outer) arch, one toe (thumb or little toe) and the Achilles tendon, and only then both (or one) ankle (Fig. 2-a).
The image of the foot resting on the toes is more complex (Fig. 4).
After sketching the bare foot, the generalized image of the foot with shoes turns out to be a simpler matter.
The peculiarity of the foot in shoes is that the entire back of the foot, bending at floor level along the line of the heads of the metatarsal bones (that is, where both arches rest on the sole - internal and external), rises to the heel to the height of the heel. Therefore, placing the shod foot should begin with the front part of the sole, coinciding with the footprint, and end with determining the location of the heel, taking into account the height of the heel, which is drawn under the heel at the end.
The shape of the shoe basically corresponds to the plastic shape of the foot, the so-called “last” (a last is a generalized wooden split model of the foot used in shoe production as a template), which is essentially a very generalized cast of the foot with the heel raised to the height of the heel. The last also has two arches, a heel, an instep, and depending on the purpose and style of the shoe, it may differ from the shape of the foot only in details and in size (the length and width of the toe) and external finishing, which does not matter in the generalized image of the foot in the shoe (Fig. .3).
In order for students to learn the order and sequence of setting and constructing the foot, it is proposed to conduct two two-hour classes with special sketches of the foot naked and in shoes in different positions.
The first lesson is devoted to sketching the foot of a male model sitting in a cross-legged position, so that you can draw from all sides: one foot standing on the podium, and the other from the side of the foot. (The model sits on a chair placed on a high podium, Fig. 4).
During the first hour, students first make four or five short sketches of a naked foot from different points on one sheet of paper, and during the second hour (on another sheet) several sketches of a foot in shoes of different types and purposes (boots, sneakers, boots, etc. ) in different positions (Fig. 5).
Material: graphite pencil “2M” - “ZM”. Size - 0.125.
The second session is devoted to sketches from several separate static positions of the walking foot (front, heel, side - inside and outside), and the last twenty-five minutes - two sketches from the foot in shoes (boots or shoes) from the front and side (detailed study feet in shoes in sketches and sketches is carried out for students in the program of the applied specialty “Modeling and design of shoes”).
Students' independent sketches should reinforce the practical knowledge gained in class about the techniques of constructing a foot, both naked and shod.
You can draw your naked leg reflected in the mirror, or the legs of someone in your household. As for the shod feet, sketches of them can be made wherever possible.
At the same time, an attentive observer will discover that the shod feet have special characteristics that indicate the character of the one to whom they belong. This can be expressed in the way the sitter places his legs, moving one forward, hooking one leg over the other, or placing a leg on the knee of the other, etc.
The very appearance of a shod foot sometimes suggests a lot that should, if not be sketched, then be sure to be remembered, as it may be needed in work.
Some delay on such a question as the depiction of a shoed foot in sketches and sketches is explained by the desire to show how careful and deep observation can be when it is connected with the image of a person.
In addition, practice shows that students, when performing sketches of the human figure, pay insufficient attention to the image of legs and shoes. Usually they remain either unfinished or only in the form of hints, little corresponding to the entire figure in proportions.
In this tutorial we will look at the structure of the foot and the basic principles of drawing it.
First, let's look at the structure of the foot: 7 tarsal bones, or ankle bones, in blue, 5 metatarsal bones, or instep, in purple, and 14 phalangeal bones, or toes (3 in each little toe and 2 in the big toe) in pink. .
Only a small part of the foot can move.
Although the connection of the toes with the bones of the instep is quite far (1), the flesh covers the foot up to the line (2), and thereby prevents movement.
The lateral longitudinal arch, in the middle of the foot, is most easily shown by a small indentation from the heel to the instep.
On the inside, the medial longitudinal arch is larger than on the outside.
The top of the foot is located in the form of a transverse arch.
When viewing a leg from above, which stands on a plane, the lower part of the sole is not drawn, but only the bend is depicted.
This picture shows in blue which part touches the ground and which imprint is left.
Side view of the transverse arch:
2. Low arch ( flat feet )
The outer contour cannot be drawn in a straight line, with the exception of flat feet.
The line from the heel to the little toe is not drawn in a smooth curve.
Thumb: parallel to the ground.
Other fingers: pointed towards the ground.
It is not correct to draw fingers that lie completely on the ground.
The thumb does not bend down.
Drawing the sole of the foot is the easiest way since there is no
transition from foot to leg and there is no arch.
The basic shape is drawn as an oblong egg, compressed on one side.
When drawing the leg in perspective from different angles, use simple flat shapes.
Here, anatomical accuracy is not required, since we are setting a guideline for further work.
In the next step, we make a small adjustment to the shape, which will help make the shape asymmetrical and thereby bring it closer to the natural shape of the foot. If you are confident in your abilities, you can start drawing the feet from this step.
Now, let's add volume to the foot. As you can see, this requires drawing round and very flattened pyramids, the top of which meets at the edge of a circle (the circle represents the ankle, the connection between the foot and leg)
The dotted line is shown to help you see the outline of the volume, and the black outline is necessary for drawing.
At the end we add fingers pressed together. Remember that the toes overlap each other from almost all angles. If you encounter any difficulties, below we describe in more detail how to draw toes.
Finally, we draw the lines of the arch and add the ankle bones and Achilles tendon.
Alternatively, you can use a wedge for the base of the leg and then add the toes and cut out the curves.
Some hand details are applied to the feet:
The toes look longer on the top of the foot than on the bottom.
Let's look at the differences between the inside and outside of the foot.
Now let's look at the differences between raising the inside and outside of the foot.
Small toes are not drawn only if the viewing line is at the level of the foot.
Tendon lines are drawn in some cases: when the leg is tense, and in male or elderly legs.
Here you decide for yourself whether you need them or not.
The shape of the baby's foot is like a soft bulge, without deep lines.
Please note that the line on the foot should not curl.
When viewing the foot from the front, all toes are located at the same level and are drawn like drops of water. Draw five circles and then extend the lines to the foot.
If you're drawing raised toes, don't forget to draw the bottom of the foot.
Raise the inner line that divides your leg a little higher, moving up towards your ankle.
To draw a foot standing on the toe, use the method of constructing simple shapes described above.
In this picture the leg is relaxed. Although the fingers are slightly bent, no real stress is placed on them.
In this picture, the weight load is directed towards the toes.
Let's look at what's happening:
On the outside of the foot, with strong compression, the first joints can completely disappear under the foot.
On the inside of the foot, the first joints can be completely hidden under the foot, with the exception of the big toe, which bends only 90°.
When the fingers are spread out, they are located in different directions.
Space appears between the fingers.
Please note that the fingers remain in a curved shape pointing downwards, they cannot be pointed upwards.
Transition from foot to leg
Transition from foot to leg (side view):
Transition from foot to leg (rear view):
Transition from foot to leg (front view):
Remember that the inclination of the leg on the front and back sides is connected by a muscle. Therefore, the thinner the muscle, the straighter the lines and vice versa, excess fat creates the impression of a sausage effect.
When drawing the leg from the side, remember that the thinnest part is slightly above the ankle.
The Achilles tendon runs from the heel to the foot.
When the leg is relaxed, a small angle is formed between the foot and the leg.
When the leg is extended, a straight line runs down the entire leg to the toes.
Women's legs are not a smaller version of men's legs, they have a slightly different structure.
Low (flat feet). There is no arch, the entire sole of the foot touches the ground.
High. Only a narrow strip connects the heel, instep and arch of the foot.
Wide shape: Less distance between the widest part of the foot and the top of the foot.
The thumb is the longest.
The second finger is the longest.
Fingers at the same level.
Narrow or Tapered Shape: More space between the widest part of the foot and the top of the foot. Also pay attention to the lesson: how to draw a person’s eyes with a pencil.
Hello, dear friends!
Today we will learn how to draw a dog, we will try to depict animals of popular breeds in various poses.
In order for the drawing of an animal to turn out well, it is important to sincerely admire their beauty and grace, admire, and be touched. These feelings and the desire to draw will help you create a truly beautiful drawing.
The greatest attention should be paid to the limbs, the number of joints and how and where they bend. A dog and a human have the same number of joints in their limbs, and they function in a similar way: the elbows bend forward, the knees bend back, there is a shoulder and hip that move in different directions, there is a heel and wrist - they can bend and extend forward and backward.
Analogies will help you remember, understand and correctly depict dogs in different poses.
The skull of dogs is strongly extended forward in the area of the jaw and nose. The length, thickness, and flatness of a dog's muzzle varies depending on the breed. Don't forget about the tail, this part of the body has many variations in shape and size.
These animals move on all four limbs, and rely only on their fingers , in the middle of which there is a soft pad. The wrist and heel do not touch the ground, but are above it. When moving, people rely on their entire foot.
Stages of drawing a leg. At the level of the red line are the wrists and heels
The paw is the part of the leg that touches the ground on which the animal rests. The toes are very short and have claws at the tips of the toes. There are four toes on each paw. Sometimes there is a fifth finger on the forelimbs; it is raised high and hidden, and does not perform any functions.
Options and stages of paw image
The elbow joint of these animals of all breeds is in line with the chest, this is shown in the illustration below:
The following picture schematically shows the proportions of the legs:
Dogs do not have a collarbone, and their shoulder blades are located at an acute angle. This is an important feature that will help to correctly place the forelimbs, show the relief and direction of the fur on this part of the animal’s body and neck.
as you can see, a relief is formed in the area of the shoulder blade, the coat rises a little and a light undercoat is visible.
In order to create a believable drawing, you need to find a suitable model. First, practice creating sketches using pictures or photographs, and then feel free to start depicting your pet.
Let's draw a shepherd dog, which is shown in the previous picture. Let's start with a line indicating the posture and position of the limbs.
Center line, leg position
We will also create a sketch of a dog in a more complex pose, top view.
Next we will add basic simple shapes. Using rounded figures we will show the head, chest and pelvis, paws. We connect these figures with a smooth line from head to tail, showing the line of the back and abdomen. Let's outline the legs, taking into account the correct proportions and their structure.
Near the circle representing the head, we will add a square to show the elongated shape of the animal’s skull.
Next, we smooth out all the lines, make them smoother and more accurate, and create a beautiful silhouette. Add ears and nose. Let's outline the eye line.
At the last stage, we draw the eyes, nose and mouth, and clarify the ears. We will look at how to create a portrait of a dog in one of the next paragraphs of this lesson.
We outline the fur, shadows, spots on the fur, specify the toes, tail and other details. If the dog has long hair, it will hang down.
At the last stage, be sure to take into account the direction of the fur. The wool falls according to the shape of the animal's body, it is affected by gravity, so it is directed downward. This is especially noticeable in long-haired breeds. The general direction of the entire pile from head to tail.
If the dog has long hair, it will hang down.
There are breeds that have so much fur or such bizarre hairstyles that it is probably not necessary to study the structure of their body; it is reliably hidden under thick and long hair.
Now we will take a closer look at how to draw a portrait of a dog in profile and full face, learn about proportions and some important details.
In order to depict a dog in profile there is one simple formula, which is illustrated below:
For almost all breeds, these rules for creating a portrait are excellent; sometimes you need to slightly adjust the shape of the ovals. For example, sketches of a shepherd dog and a Pekingese dog made according to the same scheme.
Since the Pekingese has a flattened muzzle, the lower oval needs to be significantly reduced.
Creating a portrait consists of simple rules; following the diagram, you can depict a dog of any breed.
Stages of creating a portrait
Watch the video on how to draw a dog with a pencil step by step. If the position is difficult, you need to practice a little. There are many breeds whose proportions are very different from the standard ones, in order to depict such a dog you will need maximum observation, as well as information about the structural features from Wikipedia.
The ability to correctly depict animals will help you create interesting stories, bring your paintings to life, and give them originality and character.
Classical subjects with hounds, greyhounds and hunters, portraits of aristocrats and their pets are popular in oil painting. For inspiration and creative ideas, below are several interesting paintings.
By Cassius Coolidge "A Friend in Need"
Perhaps the most memorable and original stories with these animals were created by the artist Cassius Coolidge in the series “Dogs Playing Poker.”
Iris Scott writes very bright and unusual paintings, below is a painting with a pet dog:
Favorite of artist Iris Scott
Our authors write no less remarkable works:
Author Yuri Petrenko “On the red sofa”
Author Igor Medvedev “Little Clown”
Be sure to look at the gallery of works by Oleg Levin, this artist creates magnificent paintings and drawings with dogs:
Author O.B. Levin, Kurzhaar
I hope this material was useful and interesting for you, and you will create wonderful works with your favorite animals. Also, watch the video on how to draw a cat.
Before you start working on the character, before drawing the details, you need to choose the pose of the person.
And at the same time maintain proportions. So too short arms or a large head can ruin any masterpiece.
Experiment with drawing sketchy people in different poses.
Make sure that the figure will fit on the sheet and that the pose you choose is natural. As a last resort, try to recreate it - then everything will become clear.
Do not forget about the law of universal gravitation - no one has yet canceled it, as well as about the center of gravity of a person - it is located in the lower abdomen.
If you want to give the character dynamics and depict him in motion, then in this case his pose should not be balanced at all.
The body is a flexible and mobile system. Don't forget about the mobility of your hip joints and shoulder girdle.
Sketches of human poses:
Draw an oval of the head. At this stage, it is not necessary to depict it as perfectly smooth.
It is much more important to accurately draw the spine. Since it is he who determines the pose of the model.
The angles of the shoulders and pelvis are also important. This way you can understand how the body weight is distributed in this position.
Then you can add simple leg and arm symbols. And even though you are well acquainted with the basic principles of proportion in human anatomy, at this stage it is the angles that are important.
What is the shoulder angle? At what angle does the elbow bend, dividing the arm into two parts? You need to pay attention to this when looking at the sitter or the original image.
So in less than a minute the main work is done.
And even if you draw an imaginary figure from memory, you can still use the same method.
Now let's look at the workflow using a specific example:
We draw only the base lines and main points.
The right leg is the supporting leg. Please note that the support is not on the entire foot, but only on the toe. Which gives a feeling of dynamics.
The line of the spine and, as a continuation, the supporting leg draw a soft, natural curve of the body.
In this case, the head is located at a certain angle relative to this line.
The shoulder is slightly raised (it is not relaxed).
The position of the arms and the raised leg also give a sense of movement.
Then, using smooth lines, you need to connect all the parts into a single outline.
Now you can start drawing out the details and working out the individual characteristics of the character.
I followed in my dad’s footsteps, my daughter is 5.4 years old. I'll show you a few drawings. Used: gouache, watercolor, marker, crayons. Everything was drawn over the last month.
Misha doesn't draw much. But, nevertheless, images still evolve. Today, for the first time in the last few weeks, I agreed to draw a little man (I was bribed by my favorite image of a pirate:))), and surprised me by drawing feet and fingers.
10 VERY SIMPLE EXERCISES FOR PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF FLAT FOOT IN A CHILD: perform gymnastics in thin socks or barefoot several times a day, breaking the complex into several parts so that 2-3 exercises are performed in 1 lesson. Particular attention should be paid to developing the correct position of the feet when walking and standing: when starting to walk, the child places his feet wide, thereby increasing the area of support. Up to 2-3 years this is normal, but at this age the baby must develop a correct gait with parallel placement of the feet.
I’ll write how I entertained Anyuta and what we did. Massage and gymnastics. Minimum exercises. From massage only stroking. From gymnastics 2-3 exercises. It is not yet clear whether Anyuta likes it or not, when.
I sat the children down to draw, went into the shower myself, and when I came, Polya had scribbled all over herself with a pen, her stomach, her legs, her feet. I scold her, put her in the bathtub, and she is offended and crying, with annoyance: “I’M TIIIGR!” Before that, she asked me if it was possible to draw stripes on a tiger, I didn’t see a tiger in the coloring book, I shrugged my shoulders and allowed it. Look what she meant!))))))))))
Varus foot alignment is often called clubfoot, although this is not entirely true. Congenital (or true) clubfoot is one of the most severe deformations of the musculoskeletal system, which manifests itself in a child in the first days of life and requires serious and long-term treatment. Forefoot adduction is much more common than true clubfoot and is mainly combined with an O-shaped curvature of the legs. Treatment for such deformity is complex and includes massage, exercise therapy and physiotherapy. Here are the gymnastics that must be performed daily.
How to choose shoes for your child? One of the issues that parents have to deal with is choosing the right shoes for their child. After all, the formation of the foot depends on this, which can later affect health. After all, incorrectly selected shoes can cause flat feet, curvature of the spine and other problems. When choosing shoes, you should pay attention to the fact that they are spacious and wide enough, but at the same time that they are well fixed on the foot. You should also pay special attention to the sole, it should be there.
Varya suddenly began to draw little people and animals, and in general the drawings began to make sense. Here is her drawing of our family. From left to right: dad, mom, Varya, and at the top with ears is our dog Richie. And above us is a rainbow. I came from the kitchen, and she says to me: “Mom, look how I drew everyone, we’re walking under the rainbow.” She really likes to draw, especially with paints, and paint. Dad is thinking about sending her to prison, she’ll probably follow in my footsteps. I went to school for 7 years art school and 5 years as a graphic designer)
Girls, such an immodest question: how much do you pay for a manicure-pedicure if the master comes to your home? Otherwise I have doubts)). We moved to another area. In my previous area, a girl came to me for a manicure and pedicure without coating, and gave me 1000-1200 rubles. And there's an event coming up. I found it through an advertisement for a master who lives nearby. I need M and P, + French varnish on the arms and legs. those. no rhinestones or extras. design. She told me 2500. So I’m thinking, isn’t it expensive? P.S. I usually do manicures and pedicures myself and cover them.
Gymnastics for the treatment of plano-valgus deformity of the foot Exercises are performed several times during the day. It is preferable to perform two or three exercises. - Walking along a narrow strip or path. It can be created artificially, or drawn. A strip with a width of 10 to 15 cm is suitable. Let the baby walk along the path without stepping beyond its boundaries. — Walking on the outside of the foot (Teddy Bear). — Walking barefoot on surfaces with relief. This is best done in the summer, when the baby runs on the ground, sand or pebbles.
The most important thing is that in the phrase “foot massage” the word “stop” is interpreted correctly. You can, of course, write a massage of the sole, but that sounds a bit rude. We continue the series of articles about how to squeeze and squeeze our naked body with bare hands, not for the sake of humor, but for the benefit of health. The bathhouse is, as always, the best place for a massage: the body is naked, steamed, soft and the environment for relaxing all limbs is ideal.
We are in a preparatory class. We have already registered for school, we are going to 1st grade in September. I talked with the teacher about how ready the child is. She said that the memory is good, speech is developed. He can express his thoughts correctly/everything is fine, one problem: weak hands. And this means cannot paint neatly, always goes beyond the lines, colors sloppily, scribbling out everything, cannot draw a basic image. For example, a person she has is a circle with eyes, a line down and 4 lines to the sides. They said that she should already draw more specifically, indicate the neck, try draw clothes (for example, a dress), draw hands or feet (try to indicate them in the drawing). He writes his name, but stretches it over the entire sheet. They said to study.
I love December. For the feeling of a fairy tale. For ice and a sprained arm. We made crafts for my husband’s work to participate in a competition) They exchange crafts for children on all holidays for gifts) And we also bought a house with fairy tales)
My daughter asked me to dress up the doll! We also have a Winx doll who has lost the lower part of her legs (well, like Bratz, removable feet with painted shoes), and we decided to make her a mermaid. This is what happened.
As I already wrote below, Vika has a love for Vladik. For the summer, of course, we forgot about everything. Rest, sunshine, what Vladiki are like. September has arrived, kindergarten and love again. We go to bed and conversations about this boy begin. Vika: -Mom, we need to give Vladik something. Me: - Of course, draw him a postcard or a drawing and give it to Vika: - Yes! Stop! For some reason I have to give it to him, let him give it to me. Me: - Well then tell him to draw you a postcard too Vika: - Why.
Hello everyone, I know that flat feet are not diagnosed until the age of 5, but my baby has such a diagnosis, he tramples on one leg. We have been assigned classes for which we are already doing) At the request of the girls, I’m sharing)
I already wrote a review of Aaron Becker’s book “The Journey” on BB. With minor edits now also on altermama. And there is also a continuation of the story drawn by Andrei. This kind of reaction is a sign of quality! If you are really interested, then you should follow the link; I won’t write separately. And here I want to discuss the issue of childhood boredom. Somehow it went unnoticed in that review post, but I would like to discuss it. What do you do when a child comes up and says “I'm bored”? I copied a couple of paragraphs under the cut.
As it turns out, we know the parts of the body very well. We started the day with a review. Alice named and showed everything, including the lower leg, foot, thigh, etc. We looked at the section on the human body in the children's encyclopedia. At the same time we talked about internal organs. Alice listened to her mother's heart beat. For some reason she really liked it. We studied the emotions that were in the printouts. We really liked the boy. Alice made appropriate faces at him. Did a good job with antonyms. Only when Alice said “thick,” she said “thin.” When we got tired of sitting, we danced to the Zheleznovs’ song “At the Giraffe.”
Halloween is coming, I, of course, don’t see this day as a holiday, but the kids and I are playing, dressing up as scary movies and preparing treats. Agree, it’s still a colorful “holiday” :)) Well, this year I collected ideas, I’ll implement many of them, then I’ll show you what happens, and this may be useful to someone else :)))
I found an article. It is written HOW to do massage for hallux valgus and x's. how to do gymnastics and other recommendations.
Therapeutic gymnastics should be carried out in thin socks or barefoot several times a day, breaking the complex into several parts so that 2-3 exercises are performed in 1 session.
This book is the most successful purchase Kirill 2g5m and I have recently! It would have been earlier - about two years, and before the “City of Good Deeds”. There is less text here, the plots are simpler. In general, there is a little about professions, a little about technology. But also - a funny score, a daily routine, good manners. And also - games for attentiveness! Kirill loves this very much.
This is the cute little penguin a child can draw with his foot. To do this, you need to paint the child’s foot with black paint.
Is it just my kids who are stuck in the anal stage of judging the world? Or does everyone have the same ass?)) In the morning I wonder who had what dream. Lisa constantly tells the same thing (because it is very funny and fresh in her opinion).
I found an article. It is written HOW to do massage for hallux valgus and x's. how to do gymnastics and other recommendations. We can talk about valgus curvature of the legs when the distance between the inner ankles with tightly compressed and straightened knees exceeds 4-5 centimeters; contrary to popular belief, this is not a congenital defect, not a hereditary quality, but an acquired defect. Curvature of the legs most often appears a few months after the child stands on his feet and begins to walk, this is explained by excessive load on the lower limbs during the period of rapid growth and more.
Just a little more and we would have missed one of our favorite events - Sportland. But it’s good when there are friends who are ready to give a kick in the right direction))) to remind. Allah, thank you. It was a great day!
Girls, hello!! It's time to glue snowflakes, decorate the house, put up a Christmas tree))) At the beginning of December we wrote, or rather drew, a letter to Santa Claus!
I remember my childhood and children’s toys: I had a yellow plastic chicken, and I also had a brown bear. Moreover, the bear was so natural that, apart from the fur, eyes and paws, it was almost the life-size size of a bear cub. How will my 30-year-old son describe his toys? 🙂 He will say something like this: “I had (attention!) a blue human leg, on the foot there was a spinning green ball on the big toe, on the foot, where a normal person has a sole, there was an orange spinning one.
. Today we saw an Orthopedic surgeon and he said that my daughter’s knee joints have a valgus deformity of no more than 2 cm. He recommended giving 3 drops of vitamin D and that’s it! I consulted with a specialist in children’s massage and recommended gymnastics, cycling, massage. What do you say, dear BB-mommies?
Planovalgus foot deformity is a certain decrease in the height of both arches of the foot and curvature of its axis. In this case, the heel and toes look outward, but the middle section of the foot is tucked inward. This type of flatfoot is very common; according to recent estimates, 50 percent of all foot deformities are due to planovalgus deformity. Most often, this disease occurs in children of primary school or preschool age.
The month of March in our family is rich in holidays, grandmothers' birthdays one after another. Dima and I have long wanted to go to a drawing master class. So that they would teach us how to draw a picture step by step. And then everything coincided: - Seryozha is working - Dima is injured in training and active walking is canceled for now - I don’t work on Saturday - Facebook is actively offering me “Mama Carlo’s Workshop” - a studio near the house - pictures like this Nice - the administrators answer my questions - we have already come up with a plan, that Dima draws a picture for his grandmother, and I draw mine) So happy.

Very often people ask about gymnastics for flat-valgus feet and flat feet.
Flat feet in a child can be avoided through preventative exercises and treatment, which will ensure the child develops healthy feet.
I want to tell you how we celebrated our second birthday! The idea came to me a year ago, when I firmly decided to make my son’s birthdays themed! This year it was a PIRATE'S BIRTHDAY! There were few guests. Only 2 cousins: Vova (5 years old) and Zakhar (3 years old) Entourage: - we decorated the whole room with flags, We drew a wall newspaper - there is a pirate ship and three pirates on it, and the heads of the pirates are photographs of children); - we drew a pirate map, they even burned it around the edges and rolled it into a tube); - we bought chocolate coins and...
Another album has finished, and I want to somehow summarize our successes, and also capture my son’s masterpieces as a keepsake. The best ones are sent to the folder for storage. And part here
This is the second year I’ve been trying to fix it, I didn’t think it would be so difficult, we continue to fight this “bad thing.” Note for yourself, for information for others))) Moms, the sooner you start treating this, the faster the result will be.

Do you love cars as much as we do? We respect everything that concerns cars and are ready to tinker for a long time and with pleasure! Today we are creating and our favorite topic is cars!
Very useful pictures - everything is clear, for those who do foot massage at home, it’s so difficult to remember, but in the pictures everything is clearly drawn.
While the baby is sleeping, the mother is looking for ideas for creative expression. Below is what I want to do, what I started and what is almost ready but I never got around to finishing it.
I just sat down to write about another book. So I sat down in broad daylight, and it sounds so good to me, there’s silence at home, grace, I can’t hear Aliska.. So, stop. Why can’t you hear her?! And the fact that she is painting a magic door on the wall. Wax chalk. Red, of course. But just yesterday I looked around our apartment with clear eyes and thought, what a beauty! We are moving out in two days, and there is not a speck on the walls) Gold is not a child. Aah, who am I kidding, anyway.
Mon 1. Motor skills. Games with a watering can-funnel. 2. Creativity. Draw leaves on the strawberry with your palm. 3. Socialization. We play with cars. Whose is faster? 4. Memory. We hide a coin or button in a cabinet made of matchboxes (three boxes glued together in height). The kid guesses where. 5. Physical development. Massage with a prickly mitten (loofah) and palms and feet with a prickly ball. 6. Sensory skills. magic jars. We drip paint onto the lid. Pour water into jars. Shake and watch how the water turns colour. Tue 1. Motor skills. We sort through the peas and beans. 2. Creativity. Flower applique.
