Download and print beautiful pictures and photos of Happy New Year 2018 with the symbol of the year with a dog

When it comes to the New Year, everyone first thinks about what will be on the festive table. Then they think about their jewelry, clothes, and only on the eve of the holiday do people remember that they need to congratulate their friends, relatives and colleagues on the upcoming holiday. Someone sends SMS congratulations, someone calls on the phone, and someone personally comes to visit with beautiful words. The best way to show your love and friendship for a person is to give bright, beautiful pictures and photos. And since the symbol of 2018 is a dog, holiday pictures must include a photo of a dog and other New Year’s characters. Check out our collection of greeting cards and you can download them for free and print them.

Why is 2018 the year of the dog?

As you know, there is a Chinese horoscope and calendar, where each year is assigned the name of an animal. In 2018, a dog will “rule” the earth. Or more precisely, a yellow earthen dog. The last time she was on the throne was exactly 12 years ago.
Wise Chinese say that the year of the dog will pass quietly and peacefully. For the last two years, fire signs have ruled the earth, and now it’s the turn of a symbol who loves peace, harmony and relaxation. And in the coming year, it is important to think about every step, every action. You shouldn’t make quick decisions; the famous saying comes in handy here: measure a hundred times, cut once.

What to give to people born in the year of the dog?

Here I want to joke and say that the best gift for them would be a bone, but this is not so. But a figurine in the form of a symbol of the year or a soft toy dog ​​is an excellent gift. A person will be very pleased if you make gifts with your own hands.
Since the dog loves to eat tasty food, a bag of sweets will be very useful.

How to appease the symbol of 2018?

Many housewives are quite superstitious and always try to make sure that the new symbol of the year is favorable and fair to them. Therefore, they decorate the house and prepare New Year's dishes that the dog will like.
Be sure to decorate the windows of your house with protrusions in the form of a cheerful, friendly dog. Hang a poster with congratulations on the walls, and toy dogs on the Christmas tree.
Delicious food is also very important. More meat - no dog will refuse meat.

Video greetings for the New Year of the Dog.

Watch our beautiful and funny video greeting, which was specially made for this year of the dog:

Dogs in human life.

Everyone knows the role dogs play in our lives. Some dogs are rescue dogs, others help catch criminals, others guard homes, and others are simply family favorites. And there is also a fifth, sixth and other groups.
Man did not just domesticate a dog and make it a pet. A dog in a house is a lock to which there are no keys. There are guide dogs that help people with low vision. Plus, all animals are excellent at predicting natural disasters. There are cases in history when dogs forced people to leave buildings literally a minute before it was destroyed by an earthquake.

Dogs in cinema and art.

There are a huge number of films and cartoons in the world in which the main characters are dogs. Perhaps the most touching film about a four-legged friend is Beethoven.
And in the USSR, comedies were always filmed with a dog. Famous film: Bes Barbos and an extraordinary cross, as well as an instructive comedy - Moonshiners.
In cartoons, dogs almost always save other characters. In them they are smart and responsive. From Soviet cartoons you can remember this: a kitten named Woof. And modern cartoons: PAW Patrol or Barboskins.

Before the New Year holidays, almost all preschool and especially school children's institutions hold competitions: either for the best wall newspaper with the theme of the next year, or for the cutest drawn dog or other symbols of the winter holidays. Children usually take part in such competitions with pleasure, because everyone wants to receive sweet prizes for this. If you have time, then by referring to our article, you will find out what drawings for the New Year of the Dog 2018 can be drawn in pencil even without super artistic abilities.

Drawing a dog in pencil: step by step

You probably already know that the symbol of 2018 is the Yellow Dog. They say that by portraying this animal yourself, you can win her favor for a whole 12 months. Let's try to do this together.

How to draw such a cute dog? Very simple!

1) Draw a horizontal line with a pencil. Along it you need to draw 6 circles, absolutely identical in size. Starting from the bottom of the circles, draw two parallel lines towards the center, except for the 2nd and 3rd circle. With these actions we will highlight the paws of our future dog;

2) Place dots at the junction of the 1st and 2nd circles, as well as the 3rd and 4th, then connect them with a protruding semi-oval to outline the head;

3) Connect the newly drawn head and the last circle-foot with the same convex line. The result is the back of an animal;

4) In the first semi-oval, draw a muzzle with eyes, nose and eyebrows. Don't forget about the ears and tail. Some lines will be unnecessary - erase them;

5) You can decorate the resulting puppy, or you can simply make some parts voluminous by simply shading them with a pencil.

Christmas tree

You will get such a beautiful Christmas tree if you follow these steps exactly:

1) Take a pencil and draw a regular high triangle (not isosceles). This will be the base;

2) Starting from the top, draw many different lines on both sides of the triangle, sharp at the ends (fir branches). Work from the very top to the very bottom (on both sides). Erase the straight side lines of the base;

3) Decorate the top with a hand-drawn star, and add a small trunk at the bottom;

4) Decorate the Christmas tree. You don’t have to follow our example specifically, but decorate it to your liking (balloons, flags, candies, garlands, etc.);

5) Now start decorating. Again, rely on your taste in choosing colors.

Father Frost

The kind grandfather will be an excellent companion to the Christmas tree for the previous drawing. So, let's start doing the work:

1) The first strokes are to sketch out the contours of the face. They will at first resemble a diver’s mask, but complementing it with eyes, mouth, ears, nose, eyebrows and a hat, it will become clear what we are drawing;

2) Having received a good-natured face, add a long beard and mustache. From the bottom edge of the beard in the center, draw a vertical line, then a horizontal line to define the edges of the fur coat, connect it to both sides of the beard (draw a slightly slanted line);

3) Following the example of our sketch, draw two hands: one should be straight with a mitten, the other the same, but with a bag;

4) Before coloring, erase all interfering lines, and on the beard in the center add additional ones for visual density.

Snowman in pencil

Another funny New Year's character that kids will probably want to draw.

How to do it?

1) Draw three circles located one on top of the other: the top one is smaller, the bottom one is the largest;

2) On the topmost circle, draw the eyes, mouth and nose in the form of a carrot;

3) Draw a scarf on the top of the middle circle;

4) Erase the initial ironing lines under the scarf with an eraser. Draw stick hands on the second circle;

5) Be sure to complement the head with a bucket, pan or hat;

6) Use paints, pencils, felt-tip pens to add shades to the snowman.

Gift box with bow

Such a box can be completed under the Christmas tree or next to Santa Claus or Snowman.

How to do it?

1) Draw a regular parallelepiped;

2) We supplement the resulting base with the same figure attached to it;

3) Draw rectangles along the top of these shapes. These will be the parts of the lid;

4) Draw the missing lines of the lid to make a solid box;

5) To make the gift beautiful, don’t forget about the bow. Make its outline;

If you are planning to congratulate your friends and family on the upcoming New Year 2018, or simply cheer up your colleagues on the pre-holiday day, we suggest sending them a beautiful animated postcard. The so-called “live” New Year cards can be different:

The last minute of the passing year is a magical time! Many people believe that a wish made at this moment will definitely come true if they have time to raise a toast to the New Year. Perhaps that is why time keepers have become an integral symbol of the New Year holiday.

It is customary to hang Christmas tree decorations with the image of an old clock on the branches of fluffy beauties, and to send original postcards with chimes to congratulate you on the New Year. In 2018, not just high-quality images of chimes and ancient cuckoo clocks will be relevant, but their animation with a variety of effects.

Classic animated cards for 2018

New Year's landscapes, as well as cozy interiors with a beautifully decorated fir tree and gifts - traditional New Year's and New Year's themes. They feel the spirit of Christmas and a festive atmosphere, home comfort and a childishly naive expectation of a miracle.

Live pictures with dogs

The symbol of 2018 will be the Dog, and therefore for New Year greetings it is best to choose interesting animated cards with images of cute puppies and the most beautiful representatives of elite breeds.

New Year cards with animated cartoon characters

2017 gave us a lot of funny cartoons, the characters of which will decorate funny New Year's cards on the eve of the coming year. Unrivaled in 2018 are animated dogs from the cartoon “Pet Life,” GIFs of which can be presented instead of a postcard when congratulating friends on the New Year.

The new year 2018 is approaching, which means that the Fire Rooster will be replaced very soon by the Yellow Earth Dog. All next year we will be under the auspices of the yellow element of the Earth, hence the corresponding name.

The dog has such traits as honesty, friendliness and hard work. Therefore, in 2018, passions will subside and will be replaced by peace and tranquility.

You should start preparing for the holiday in advance to get everything done. Buying gifts, planning a menu, choosing an outfit for a celebration - these are just a small part of the upcoming preparations. Don't forget about New Year's interior decoration. A wonderful addition to the holiday decor will be New Year pictures with the Dog symbol 2018.

Pictures with Dog and New Year's greetings

Where to use pictures with a Dog?

There are a lot of options for using pictures of Dogs. Everything is limited only by your imagination.

For example, here are several options for how to use such pictures:

• To decorate the apartment. Surely every home has a box with New Year's decorations, which is given out on the eve of the holiday. We advise you to hang not only the toys that are already in your box, but also use paper dogs as decoration.
• As an addition to a gift. Before presenting your New Year's gift, attach a printed image of the Dog to it. This way you will show that you have thoroughly prepared for the celebration.
• At leisure. Print out several black and white pictures of the Dog, arm yourself with colored pencils, paints or markers and start being creative. Coloring books relieve stress and calm, so not only children, but also adults love them.
• As desktop wallpaper. The computer also needs decoration before the holiday. Looking at New Year's wallpaper, you will increasingly be in anticipation of New Year's miracles.

As you can see, the scope of application of pictures depicting the symbol of the coming year is quite wide. Use them as a decorative element, as an addition to a gift, or in any other way you like, and they are sure to bring you good luck in the coming year!

Interesting history of the greeting picture

The idea of ​​the “open letter” belongs to the postal director of the North German Confederation, Heinrich von Stefan. In 1864, it was presented at the German-Austrian Congress, but was rejected. The government considered it indecent to send a letter in open form.

The first “correspondent card” was issued at the end of 1869 in Austria-Hungary. At the same time, in 1970, soldiers fighting in the Franco-Prussian War came up with the idea of ​​sending letters to their relatives with illustrations. At first they created the drawings themselves, then businessmen began producing postcards with images on the back.

Within 3 years, this idea spread throughout most of Europe and Russia, and in 1878, an international card standard was adopted at the World Postal Congress. As time passed, the postcard gradually approached the ideal that we see now. But with the development of Internet technologies, graphic and photographic art, ordinary postcards have replaced electronic pictures.

Now they contain more than just images and text. The most popular options have built-in music, videos, cinematics, 3D animation and even flash game technology. Postcards have become more colorful, dynamic and “alive”. They can be sent to email, smartphone, instant messenger chat or social network. Thanks to the Internet, everyone has the opportunity to instantly congratulate a person living in any corner of the world.

And now we invite you to find out a few significant dates, without which the electronic card could not exist:

Where to get postcards with the patron of 2018

Also, this content is quite suitable for printing on a printer or printing devices. Thanks to modern copying equipment and materials, you will get a postcard no worse than a purchased one, even better, since it will not be aimed at a wide audience, but will be made taking into account the individual qualities of the recipient.

For creative people, the best option would be a handmade postcard. Such a masterpiece is valued much more than “consumer” cards purchased at a bookstore or stationery store. The soul, mood and emotions of the author are invested in them. Therefore, while there is time before the New Year, you can start mastering the decoupage technique.
