Drawing lesson how to draw the Big Dipper with a pencil step by step. Ursa Major is a constellation that resembles a ladle with a handle. Ursa Major consists of 7 stars, two are very bright. This constellation is visible to us at night almost always and we can find it by its characteristic features.

Let's see what she looks like.

And it's very easy to draw. To do this, you first need to put two points at a slight slope, then add two more points at about the same distance from the first, but they should go a little to the left and right. This figure resembles a trapezoid.

Then we need to put the next star, which will form the handle. She is closest to everyone and in a straight line from the far left.

Next, we will need to put down two more stars in the form of dots.

So we got the constellation Ursa Major. If you connect the lines, you get such a figure - a bucket with a handle.

In the sky, in addition to Ursa Major, there is still a huge number of constellations, among which there is a similar one and it is called "Ursa Minor", where the Polar Star is the brightest and final star. You can see the drawing below. By the way, this constellation is also visible to us all year round, so if you find Ursa Major, you can then look for Ursa Minor.
