The drawings drawn by a child's hand are especially interesting to look at. After all, they can sometimes depict things that even the geniuses of art will not be able to think of! But it is especially pleasant to watch the process of drawing a portrait when a small child is sitting and trying to portray another so that he likes it. He diligently drives a pencil lead on clean paper, drawing curves and straight lines, from which a beautiful drawing will come out after. But are portraits created by a child's hand always so unusual? Obviously not. It's also nice to look at portraits painted by great artist. But in kindergarten, alas, there are no such yet, so two educators like to look at children's creativity. For example, like now:
— And where do they come from so creative? – Carefully examining the next drawing, Moon was surprised. He had looked at children's paintings many times, and he could never understand where children got so much imagination from! — It had to be invented – a tiger with a fox's head, which has a fluffy cloud instead of a body, and stars and butterflies fly around the creature itself! – Moon pushed the drawing aside. — That's how, how did this idea come to a little girl's head?
— That's the thing, they are children. And their imagination is just fine and even more! – Sun moved closer to his colleague, showing a fresh drawing drawn today by one of the boys. — Look, I've been painted again! It's so beautiful!
— Hmm, children often draw you... – Moon briefly examined all the drawings that were scattered on the floor and which they were looking at today. — Every day several children are happy to draw your portrait. And they never portrayed me... – Moon grunted with displeasure.
— Why wasn't it portrayed? – Sun crawled up to a pile of papers and began to rummage diligently there. Finding the right piece of paper, he sat back down and handed it to his friend. — Here, look, – Moon took a piece of paper in his hands. But, having looked at what was depicted there, he made a disgruntled face.
— Yes, it's very nice to be portrayed as a night monster... – Moon gave the drawing back to Sun. — I know that for them I am some kind of harmful uncle who makes them sleep, because now sleep hour. But I would like a normal portrait where I don't look so angry and scary, – Moon got up from the floor and to sit on the nearest pillow. Today's viewing of the drawings slightly spoiled the mood.
— So let me draw you! – Sun said cheerfully, grabbing a blank sheet of paper and a pencil in his hands. He, having assumed a comfortable sitting position, looked attentively at Moon, who, in turn, looked questioningly at his friend. — What are you watching? Pose! – Moon shrugged his shoulders. He assumed an important pose, straightening his back straight, and placing his palms on his knees. His face was serious and focused, and the red pupils looked straight at Sun, who was preparing to create.
— Will it do? – Moon asked for some reason, knowing full well that even if he was asked to change his position, he would still remain sitting like this.
— Just make your face a little simpler. You look like you're going to kill someone, – joked Sun, after which he slowly began to draw a pencil on a blank sheet. Curved lines began to come out from under the pencil, creating a certain fragment of the portrait. In general, it was quite interesting to watch the drawing process: a small star will appear there, and here wavy semi-circles will be drawn with a pencil. And the face of the Sun at that moment looked quite concentrated: the eyebrows looked frowned, which made it seem that Sun was busy with something more important than just a portrait of a friend; and the tongue that was sticking out showed how much the day caregiver tried to portray Moon as beautifully as possible. From this, the smile itself stretched across the face of the Moon. Sun looks so cute when he draws! But abruptly the Sun puts a point with a pencil and throws the subject for drawing somewhere to the side.
— Ready! – he says in a satisfied voice and, crawling up to Moon, hands him the portrait. Moon carefully accepts the sheet handed to him, starting to carefully examine the efforts of his friend. He carefully looked at himself from the drawing, sitting in the same position that he took for the portrait. Everything looked nice and pretty neat. The drawing was pleasing to the eye, clearly something different from those of children. Only one detail was different – Moon was smiling in the drawing. It was strange, since he was taking a serious expression on his face, but definitely not smiling. Or he didn't notice it.
— Well, how do you like it? – a sharp question from a colleague distracts from studying the portrait, and Luna takes her gaze off the sheet, transferring it to Sun, who was impatiently waiting for a friend's answer.
— You draw great, – Moon calmly answers, patting his colleague on the head. — Thanks, – he thanks, but this is only a small part that he wanted to say. In fact, there were a lot more words of gratitude, but Moon decided to answer more calmly and minimally, which was typical for him. But now Moon will be able to admire his portrait every day, which was specially drawn for him by his best friend, which made it pleasant for the soul and the bizarre drawings of the children did not seem very unusual. Yes, Moon definitely liked the portrait. He will definitely thank the Sun by also depicting it on a blank sheet of paper, drawing with the same pencil that flew off to no one knows where.
