Man in full growth step by step. How to draw a person, initial outlines
The human body is capable of performing a wide variety of movements: walking, running, jumping, doing some kind of work.
With all these movements, changes in the external shape of the body occur. Changes in shape occur even without any noticeable movement of the figure. A living person cannot remain motionless for long. Muscles, being in static tension, get tired much more, so a person, remaining in any position, constantly changes it slightly.
This is the difficulty of drawing from the sitter's figure compared to drawing from plaster casts. Here you need to know the form well. No careful mechanical drawing gives the image a real plastic connection - the image turns out sluggish, lifeless.
Therefore, before starting to work on a drawing of a living nude model, it is necessary to study everything that forms the forms of a living organism and on which the patterns of its movements and statics depend. Study not only from the outside, visually, but also study the skeleton, the connections of the bones with each other, the muscles of the body.
Such study gives knowledge of what needs to be depicted. Then we will depict what we know, we will not copy the model, but use it.
It is better to start drawing a figure by drawing a standing figure without complex movement. Before you start drawing a figure, you need to inspect it from different points vision in order to clearly imagine the position of the body in space. To better understand the structure of the sitter’s body, it is necessary to get used to this pose and repeat it with your own body. Only after this can one begin to determine the composition of the sheet, the center of gravity, the area of support, the movement of the figure, etc.
As an illustration, you can familiarize yourself with the modern method of constructing a human figure, which is proposed by R.P. Kurilyak, who teaches plastic anatomy at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts and Industry V.I. Mukhina (Fig. 24-33).
We draw a vertical line and divide it in half. We mark one eighth of the vertical from the top, which is the size of the head. If we draw a figure with support on one leg, then our vertical coincides with three points: the jugular fossa (notch), the pubic bone (pubic symphysis), the inner malleolus (tibia) and the heel. On the vertical line from the heel we mark the height of the instep to the ankle joint, which in proportion is equal to almost half the height of the head.
The further course of our thinking is as follows: we determine the direction of the shoulder and pelvic girdles, their degree of inclination in opposite directions; the line of the shoulder girdle will pass through the jugular fossa with an inclination to the side, and the line of the pelvic girdle will pass through the pubic fusion from the greater trochanter of the supporting leg with an inclination towards the free leg.
We determine the width of the shoulder and pelvic girdles, which will later change slightly and be refined. In the meantime, we define the width of the pelvic girdle in relation to the height of the entire figure as one-sixth, the width of the shoulder girdle as one-fifth of the height of the entire figure.
If you connect the trace from the heel of the supporting leg to the point of the greater trochanter with a light line, you will get almost the axial line of the entire volume, although it will subsequently undergo major changes and additions. On the shoulder girdle above the supporting leg, we connect its edge with the edge of the pelvis of the girdle above the free leg.
The entire course of our thinking with a pencil in hand occurs very fluently and quickly, lightly touching the paper, without pinching it or scuffing it.
One of the main tasks for the drawer is to determine the line of the “big movement”. It is depicted by an arcuate line running from the jugular fossa towards the pubic bone and further from the pubic fusion in the opposite direction of the arc to the heel of the supporting leg. If the head is tilted towards the supporting leg, then the arcuate line running from the pubic fusion to the jugular fossa can be continued to the parietal eminence of the head.
Now it's time to outline the arms in the movement the model is in. You can already draw the contour of the supporting leg, covering large volumes of the shin of the knee joint, showing the plastic transition from the opposite side of the chest towards the supporting leg to its silhouette with access to the knee joint and covering the calf part of the shin.
We outline the free leg, its axial foot, and also clarify the position of the pelvis, its axial, coordinate the location of the kneecap of the supporting leg with the knee joint of the free one.
We define the free limb in large volumes along its main plastic directions: from the ilium (its upper spine) with access to inner part free leg, which almost coincides with the direction of the sartorius muscle; having contoured the edge of the thigh (epiphysis of the femur), we continue the arcuate line to the outer side of the tibia and then, at the level of the ankle joint, draw a line to the inner condyle of the tibia with an oval coverage in the cross section of the entire tibia at this level.
WITH inside free leg from the pubic bone, contouring the thigh with an arcuate line, we direct it, intersecting with the sartorius, and go out to the outer side of the thigh, coinciding with the arc with the external thigh muscle (quadriceps), and through the edge of the upper kneecap we draw an arcuate line to the inner edge of the free leg legs, emphasizing the calf muscle. Now, if you look carefully at our diagram, we will clearly read in it S-shaped, arched, “snake-shaped” lines in a curious relationship between the long and short segments of this same S-shaped line. All ratios will correspond to the principle of the golden ratio, which, in essence, is the principle of harmony. You can easily verify this if you take a diagonal measurement of any of the S-shaped lines of our volumes. This principle is that the ratio of the general to the larger part must necessarily be equal to the ratio of the larger part to the smaller.
First of all, I would like to warn you that if we are talking about the golden ratio, logic and pragmatism, then this only means one thing - such signs and understanding must be present at the level of “forgotten”, that is, unobtrusive but conscious drawing, which is one of the main ways mastering drawing.
The outline of the entire figure is already clearly visible in the drawing: the supporting leg, as the main natural core of this pose, acquires clarity in the silhouette and in separate volumes, such as the thigh, lower leg, foot. The thigh, in particular, may be manifested by the clarity of the quadriceps muscle, the lower leg by the external character of the anterior tibialis and peroneus longus muscles; The inner side of the lower leg is drawn primarily by the triceps muscles of the calf. It should also be noted that in this figure the entire volume of the knee joint is already outlined in detail. The chest is already well and clearly visible, a large one is planned pectoral muscle on the right side of the model at the shoulder, the latissimus dorsi muscle along with part of the shoulder blade, giving a clear outline of the left side of the model. Because the left hand relative to the front plane is closest to the painter, then we pay more attention to it both in tone and in drawing; A feature of the elbow joint is the triceps brachii muscle. More softly in tone, but quite carefully and with full “respect” we treat the right side of the model, and already at this stage of drawing we clarify (demonstrate) the shoulder and forearm, outlining the hand. The knee joint of the free leg is especially clearly visible.
The next stage is associated with clarifying the spatial-constructive perception of the figure on the sheet and clarifying the fragments: the foot of the free leg, the contour of the thigh on the inside are outlined taking into account the falling shadows. In short, this stage of the drawing may be on the verge of completion. On it we decide the layout, front and side areas of the structure of both the entire figure as a whole and its individual parts.
Completion in any business is a convention, because you can complete it ad infinitum. And this is true, but in this case we talk about such completion when what we drew gives us clear picture object or person.
At the final stage, one should also remember about graphic culture, that is, about such execution in which the object should be beautifully read by the viewer.
At the end of our discussions, it is necessary to emphasize that learning to draw begins with the simplest preparatory exercises, with consistent and gradual visual mastery of knowledge and skills artistic skill in fine arts. We must always remember that the artist is tasked with showing the three-dimensional volume of the form on the two-dimensional plane of the sheet. And this can be done either in tone - in full force correlating light and shadow, either with line and tone, without overloading the drawing.
After becoming familiar with the shapes of the human body in drawings of a standing figure, you can move on to drawing life in action. Only by working on a human figure in motion, from any angle, do we better understand the relationship between external form and internal movement. We understand how the external posture of the body changes depending on the position of the skeleton and the work of certain muscles. Great help such drawings will benefit from knowledge of anatomy, good understanding body designs and knowledge of the basic proportions of the figure, in other words, the knowledge that we talked about above.
To master the drawing of a figure in motion, it is very useful to make small sketches and outlines of the body in one position or another, analyzing it from a constructive point of view (Fig. 34). In such sketches, much attention is paid not so much to the external analysis of the pose, but to the internal movement of structurally important parts of the body: the spinal column, chest, pelvis, shoulder girdle, limbs. Such an analysis of the pose will simplify the task of depicting the figure from perspective, since it will give us an idea of the position of the axes in space. And the wonderful teacher Chistyakov believed that for correct image forms, it is necessary to begin drawing by finding the internal axes on which the form should be built up. Feeling the internal axes, or more precisely, the direction of movement of the masses, is absolutely necessary throughout the entire work on the drawing, since it is the axes that allow you to create the correct volume solution on the plane. Without identifying the internal axes and checking the image against them, the drawn form inevitably loses that plastic basis, the absence of which turns any construction into a transfer of the external surface.
It is very useful to test the degree of mastery of the image of a figure to make drawings from memory, and then from imagination.
To make it easier to navigate such drawings, we can suggest familiarizing yourself with the method of drawing a person as an image of a combination of simple geometric bodies. Even the Renaissance artist Durer suggested looking at the shape of the human body in a more simplified way, reducing it to a whole series of simple geometric bodies. He proposed to study these individual bodies, which have a rough resemblance to human parts, by drawing them in such movements and angles as can only be observed in the human body. This idea was also developed by S. Hollosy (Fig. 35). He divided the figure into a number of basic forms. Thus, the neck, interpreted as a cylinder, supported the head truncated by planes, was inserted into the torso cylinder, which rested on the pelvis, depicted as a combination of a cube and a truncated prism, etc. All these forms were depicted in relation to the middle line of the figure, which served as the basis for constructing the volume of the body in the work.
Let's consider this approach to the image using the example of constructing a standing figure. We start the drawing with the composition of the figure and determining its general shape. We very generally outline the size of the figure in the sheet and the design of the pose (Fig. 36). After this, we determine the position of the center of gravity, the area of support and the main axes of the figure. Based on geometric bodies, we outline the main masses of the body (Fig. 37). Upon completion of this analysis of forms, we move on to specifying the details of the figure, building them on the basis geometric shapes(Fig. 38).
On this page of the site I suggest you learn how to draw a person in full height with a simple pencil step by step. The most difficult thing to draw is a person’s face, so only real artists who have studied drawing for several years can draw a portrait correctly and accurately. Our drawing lessons are intended mainly for children, so the eyes and other facial features in the drawing of a person are drawn schematically, without carefully drawing the details. There are additional lessons on the site about how to learn to draw a portrait of a person with a pencil, draw eyes and even how to draw a person’s lips.
First of all, some tips how to draw a person correctly in pencil. Some people have a habit of drawing broken lines, and then circle them. Try to learn how to draw lines in one motion, don't be afraid to make mistakes. When drawing a person, especially in motion, you should see the whole future image, the contours of the proposed lines and all you have to do is draw them on paper.
And yet, in fine art, the most important thing is not the accuracy of the proportions and lines of a person’s drawing, but the image of the main, most important thing in the image of a person. A person’s mood, his character, the expression of his eyes, some other features that characterize him.
There are different ways to draw a person
Now let's find out a few basic steps on how to draw a full-length human figure. Often, when drawing a person, the proportions of his figure are distorted. The arms and legs are drawn short or too long, the head is too big, etc. In order to avoid this, it is convenient to divide the entire full-length drawing of a person into separate sections. The human figure, together with the head, can be divided into seven parts, equal to the seven circumferences of the head and neck. We will not use this diagram in this lesson, we will draw a person in a different way, but you can additionally use this marking so that the drawing of the person turns out to be proportional.
1. How to draw a person, initial outlines
So, let's start drawing a person by drawing a quadrilateral with aspect ratios of 3:4. In the center of this figure, draw a long straight line, slightly longer than the longitudinal side of the drawn quadrilateral. Draw an oval shoulder line on top. And since our person will be in summer clothes, then at the bottom of the rectangle draw the outline of future clothes, a T-shirt.
2. Marking parts of the human body in full height
let's continue drawing of a man and make markings using circles for the head, neck, shoulders and collarbone, and knees. First you need to draw an oval for the head, then an oval for the shoulders and circles for the knees. This is not at all difficult to do even for a child, and it is not at all necessary to draw geometrically accurate shapes of circles, except for the outline of the head. Draw the head and neck as accurately as possible.
You probably noticed that many of the lines in the picture are drawn rather carelessly. I deliberately do not try to draw them beautifully, since these contours will have to be removed from the drawing in the future, and they serve only as temporary guidelines for further steps.
3. We begin to draw the general outline of the figure
Moving on to the next step, at first it will seem to you that it is not clear what now needs to be drawn for our person. But take a closer look, you only need to draw two circles for the elbows and feet and two more winding lines on the sides of the person’s torso and connect them with the contours of the knees.
4. Draw arms and legs
Using the circles for the shoulders and elbows in the picture, draw the arms. The hands in my drawing are not drawn entirely, but if you want, you can also draw palms. Maybe a person will have some object in his hands. It is also not difficult to draw legs, the only thing you should pay attention to is how the feet are drawn. The toes of the shoes are turned in different directions. At this step, be sure to check the proportions of the person's arms, legs, and torso. In the next step it will be more difficult to correct errors.
5. Remove unnecessary contours and the person will “come to life”
First, carefully remove all previous contour lines, if you touch any line with an eraser, then restore it. This step is the most interesting and simple, because you don’t need to draw anything, and the person will “appear” like a photograph in a developer. Only three simple details still need to be drawn. This is the line of the neck and sleeves of the T-shirt, and the bottom line of the trousers.
6. Draw the face and clothes
Now, based on the contours, you need to draw clothes, and the main thing is to draw in detail the person’s face and head. You can find a lesson on how to draw a portrait of a person on the website. When drawing clothes, do not forget, to make the drawing more realistic, draw folds on it. Be sure to make shadows on clothing in the direction of the light source. If the light comes from the left, then you need to draw a shadow on the right.
7. Finish drawing a person
This full-length drawing of a man is very approximate and is more designed to study the location of the proportions of the figure of a man standing at full height. To learn more about how to draw a person, you can watch other lessons. For example, how to draw a person’s eyes and others.
Draw a person or it will always be easier for an animal to learn on its own or teach a child if you carry out the drawing step by step. The main thing is to correctly make preliminary markings of the position of the head, shoulders, arms, and legs. And then, step by step, add more and more image details to the picture.
Drawings of a person’s face, portraits are the most complex look visual arts. Learning to accurately draw a person, even with a simple pencil, requires not only time to learn, but also talent. The difficulty of drawing a person lies in the ability to convey emotional condition a person, his facial expressions, depth of gaze, etc. But it is quite possible to learn a simple technique for drawing a person on your own, especially if you draw a person step by step.
The lesson “How to draw a ballerina” is designed for those who already know how to draw a person well. Drawing a picture of a ballerina is especially difficult, since the drawing needs to convey the grace and elegance of the dance, the beauty of the body and human movements.
Let's try to draw a hockey player in motion, with a stick and a puck, step by step. You might even be able to draw your favorite hockey player or goalie.
Eyes are the basis of anime drawings. All pictures of girls drawn in anime style are distinguished by their huge eyes - black, blue, green, but always huge and expressive. The eyes are the most important and complex element any drawing of a person.
Eyes are the most attractive part of a person's face. And since this element takes on more attention, it must be drawn correctly. In this lesson we will learn how to draw a person's eyes with a pencil step by step.
In order to draw Spider-Man, you must first learn how to draw the human figure. Drawing Spider-Man in motion is very difficult, since you need to convey the dynamics of human movements in the drawing and be sure to accurately draw all the proportions of the human body.
Just like Spider-Man, Iron Man is difficult to draw. But, if you accurately make preliminary outlines, then drawing Iron Man will be easier and simpler. To make the drawing look bright and effective, you must color it with colored pencils.
In this lesson I will try to tell you how to draw a full-length person step by step with a pencil. Drawing people is quite a difficult task, but it will be easier for you if you understand and remember the principle of constructing a human figure.
How to draw a person step by step
So, take a simple pencil, an eraser and a little patience - let's start the lesson how to draw a person step by step with a pencil.
I won’t tell you about the proportions of a person, because all this can be read in books on drawing. Reading about proportions is very boring, but believe me, it is very important! Required in free time read about human proportions.
First, let's build something like a skeleton. Circles in the figure indicate joints.
When you have built the skeleton, let's move on to the stage of outlining this very skeleton. Look carefully at the picture below and try to circle it as in the picture.
Draw circles where the joints are. They will help you later correctly outline the figure in places where the arms and legs are curved and the joints protrude. Just don’t press too hard on the pencil, because we will delete all these lines!
We got a resemblance to a human figure, only in the form of a doll. And now we need to give the figure a human appearance. To do this, we will cover all parts of the body with “flesh”. This means that the muscles need to be given a more believable shape.
Note that all muscles narrow where they attach to the tendons and widen in the middle.
In the lesson on how to draw a person step by step with a pencil, we went through three stages. Next, you need to use an eraser to remove all the lines inside the shape. You should get a human figure - see the picture below.
All that remains is to dress her, draw her face and hair!
And again, use an eraser to remove all unnecessary lines after you have drawn the clothes.
In order to consolidate your knowledge, try to draw a person in different poses or, for example, with a raised leg or arm.
The question of how to draw a person step by step for beginners occupies absolutely everyone who has picked up a pencil. A beginning artist is often disappointed when he sees the results of his own efforts. They usually diverge greatly from what we really wanted to achieve. Many people at this stage give up trying to learn how to draw correctly. However, if you still have not abandoned your intention, you need to change your approach to business. The popular question of how to draw a full-length person must be answered on a systematic basis. In drawing, the most important thing is step-by-step and consistency. For many this will sound very unexpected, but before you draw anything, you need to think carefully. Well, this is quite complex subject, as a human figure, this applies above all.
Convincing drawing
Each drawing begins with a competent layout, that is, placing the future picture on a plane. This is done with light pencil strokes, which indicate extreme points the figure being drawn. In each drawing it is necessary to highlight a certain compositional semantic center. One of the key rules of composition is that this composition center should not coincide with the geometric one. The drawing on the plane should occupy approximately three-quarters of the surface, while leaving free space at the edges. Further, in order for a person to look convincing, his figure must be constructed in strict compliance with the laws and proportions of anatomy. And what is also important, she must stand firmly on her feet, or sit on some kind of support - so that this does not violate the laws of balance in any way. Proportions human figure vary depending on age. In an adult, the head occupies approximately one-seventh of the height.
How to draw a figure
Experienced artists have been working on this for many years. In modern art universities plastic anatomy is studied in detail. Her course is tailored for artists. When studying it, they carefully study all the muscles and bones present in the human body, their interaction and articulation. Such skills and knowledge are needed to properly build the human figure. True, when faced with the task of depicting a person in full height for the first time, it will be enough to correctly take the proportional relationships between all in separate parts body to figure in general. And also understand the general structural basis of the muscular system and skeleton. When constructing the torso of a human figure, it is necessary to outline center lines, hip and shoulder girdle, various joints. When making a figure, first of all remember balance. The figure must stand firmly on its feet. To ensure this requirement, many artists have a proven technique - a vertical line from the jugular cavity (a small depression between the collarbones under the human chin), drawn onto the plane, should not go beyond the plane of the feet. And then the most important thing is to carefully check the proportions of the limbs, head and torso, and build the entire figure step by step.
Generalization of the drawing
When making a construction and working on various details, it is important to stop in time and observe the measure. From the analysis of individual details, it is necessary to gradually move on to a generalization of the figure as a whole. This is usually done with sweeping, wide strokes. Nudity should not be depicted often. However, basic knowledge plastic anatomy the artist needs them in any case. Without them, it is simply impossible to correctly figure out how to draw a dressed person. When depicting a figure in a certain spatial perspective, one must see and imagine it through and through. In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to the patterns by which folds on clothing are formed. This is an extremely important element in drawing the figure. They can emphasize movement or stability. Having outlined general outlines, gradually give all the details volume. Model the shape with chiaroscuro. Much attention When constructing, it is necessary to pay attention to shading. The stroke is essential element in the arsenal of any graphic artist. Much depends on the force of its pressure, direction and length. The culture of shading is always developed gradually.
Perspective
Competent construction of any spatial figure, including a person, on a plane is simply impossible without understanding all the laws linear perspective. You need to understand it and understand that all parallel planes and lines have a vanishing point on the horizon. There are no parallel planes in the human figure, but she easily fits into them. Perspective construction the figure must be performed only after its position relative to the horizon is understood. The horizon line should be the first in the drawing. 
Step by step example
Do you want to learn how to draw a full-length person step by step? We have prepared this lesson for you. We will draw a person with a pencil and in clothes. This guy is wearing a shirt and jeans.
We begin to draw a full-length person step by step.
To begin with, let's conduct vertical line on a piece of paper, leaving some space at the top and bottom. If a man's head and legs rest against the edges of the sheet, it will not be beautiful. According to the rules of composition, it is necessary to leave space around the figure. Now we will divide the vertical line into 6 equal segments and make another small segment at the bottom. Here, in the future, we will draw our guy's shoes. Why do we divide a straight line into so many segments? The fact is that the height of an average person fits approximately 6-7 heads. Since we want to draw proportional person, we will need these marks.
Now we have the lines of the shoulders and pelvis. Thus, we have outlined the approximate location of the shoulder and hip joints. Pay attention to which specific segment they are depicted on. If you make a mistake here, the person will end up disproportionate. The joints on the right are located slightly further from the center line than the left. Why? The fact is that our person’s posture is quite relaxed. He's out of line. Therefore, the figure will not be perfectly symmetrical. You may have noticed that we have almost no room left for the neck: the man we are drawing tilted his head forward slightly, thereby covering his neck.
We mark the places where our knees and elbows are. Again, don’t forget to pay attention to where these circles are located relative to our small segments and relative to the center line. We depict circles and ankle joints. As you can guess from the name, these are the joints that connect the foot and lower leg. Connect the circles with lines. A man will keep his hands in his jeans pockets. Therefore, we draw lines from the elbows to the pelvis. If you still have difficulty drawing fingers, then you can simplify the drawing by making your hands invisible, as in this case.
Next we use temporary construction lines. Now, using the eraser, we erase these lines. More precisely, we make them less noticeable so that they are not so noticeable. At the end of drawing, you will need to erase them completely, but for now we need these lines in order to better navigate the drawing. We begin to mark the contours of the body - torso, legs, top line of trousers. We suggest at this stage to outline the line of the eyes, the chin, as well as the border of hair growth - the place where the forehead ends and the hairstyle begins. Let's outline the neck with you. When drawing, focus on the midline of the body and our construction lines. Look carefully at what distance from the midline the right side of the neck is, and at what distance the left side is.
We continue to draw the human body in full height. Now we add the outlines of the arms and boots. On the face we mark the lines of the nose and lips. Draw a man's ear. In order to draw the ear in the right place, be guided by the line of the eyes and the midline of the body.
At this stage, some elements of clothing begin to appear - pockets on jeans, a belt.
To depict a person in clothes, it is worth remembering that the fabric always forms folds. Our man is dressed in modern clothes. We begin to draw folds on the jeans. We depict the details of the belt and the collar of the shirt. Hands hidden in pockets. However, thumbs looking outside. You need to draw them. We also mark with curved lines the place where the jeans end - the length of the trousers.
At this stage, the drawing becomes more and more attractive due to the drawing of details - folds on the shirt and jeans. On the shirt, folds form at the elbows, on the sleeves, as well as above the belt and slightly on the chest. On jeans, the folds are clearly visible at the knees, as well as at the bottom of the legs. Please note that the fabric does not wrinkle randomly. The fold pattern has a certain rhythm. Try to draw it believably. Draw the soles of the shoes. All these little details will make your drawing more interesting. In order for the drawing to turn out beautiful, you need to pay attention to the elements of clothing and shoes.
Now we can finally completely erase the construction lines on the human body. Your drawing should now look something like this. Let's continue with the details. Any jeans have a characteristic facing - the edges of such trousers are hemmed in a special way: pay attention to double line along the line of pockets and along the bottom. And buttons appeared on the shirt.
How to draw a guy in full height? Of course, you should pay attention to his face and hairstyle. Let's make the lower jaw a little square - this will add masculinity to the guy's image. Let's draw the outline of the head. In a man Wavy hair. However, nothing prevents you from making him bald or with a different hairstyle.
It's time to draw the face. We outlined the lines of the eyes, nose and lips. Important note: all these lines must be parallel to each other. Otherwise, your face will turn out slanted and crooked. In order to emphasize a smile, you need to draw folds from the wings of the nose to the corners of the lips. To add liveliness to the eyes, you need to leave small white highlights next to the pupils. Don't forget about eyebrows - they make your face more expressive. Add a couple or three curved lines into the hairstyle so that the hair does not look boring.
That's all. You have read to the end the lesson on how to draw a full-length person. We got a nice young man. Try it. We believe that everything will work out for you too!
Instructions
Draw a vertical line on a piece of paper top point which coincides with the crown person, and the lower one - with feet. Divide this line into eight parts - each part is equal to the height of the head person.
The widest part of the figure is equal to two whole and one third of the width of the head. Using the created auxiliary marks as guide lines, begin the shape person, taking into account all the relationships of body parts.
The waist should always be slightly wider than the head, and the elbows should be in line with the navel. Place the lower edge of the knees at a distance of one quarter of the figure from the point of the feet, and draw the shoulders at a distance of one sixth from the point of the top of the head.
Place your belly button below waist level on your figure and place your elbows just above your belly button. All these moments make female figure distinguishable from . Try the woman's figure from different angles - front, back and side. This will allow you to get the most adequate idea of proportions and their combinations.

Drawing a female body requires special attention and proportions. It is not enough to draw beautifully, it is important to do it correctly. However, no matter how difficult this process may seem, it is quite possible to learn, just follow the instructions and gain some experience.
You will need
- Pencil, paper, model
Instructions
With the body, maintain proportionality. As a result, its shape should resemble hourglass. Give your shoulders and hips a rounded look and your waist an elegant edge. Make all lines smooth and natural. Perform the convex bend of the body up to the breast line and the concave bend in the area diagonally. When drawing the hips, make the inside flatter than the outside.
Display shoulders with a smooth slope. Make the lines of the arms soft and prominent, trying to accurately depict the structure of the muscles. Change the thickness of your hand along its entire length. Narrow it down and then expand it again.
Upper part Draw the legs as thick and rounded, narrowing closer to the knee. Make the muscles on the shins and calves protruding.
note
Avoid flatness of the image, its averageness. Pay special attention to the structural appearance of the elbows and knees.
To simplify the process of drawing arms and legs, first make a skeletal diagram of them from ovals, and then outline its outline, detailing all the bends and dimples. To create a diagram, use ovals rather than cylinders. This will help convey it more clearly and correctly real shape thighs, shins, forearms. Convey muscle relief using light and shade.

To draw the feminine believably body, you need to maintain proportions and be very careful. After all, you need to draw not just beautifully, but also correctly. And yet, no matter how difficult this process may seem, learning to draw the feminine body quite possible. The main thing is to follow the instructions and practice a little beforehand.
You will need
- - a simple pencil;
- - a sheet of A4 paper;
- - eraser.
Instructions
When depicting the body, try to maintain proportionality. Schematically, it should resemble an hourglass in its shape. Give roundness to the shoulders and hips, and elegant sophistication to the waist. Try to make all lines smooth, soft and natural. Perform the concave bend of the body in the abdominal area and the convex bend to the chest line diagonally. When depicting the hips, make their inner part flatter than the outer part.
The shoulders should be displayed with a smooth slope, and the lines of the arms should be soft and prominent. Try to depict the muscle structure as accurately as possible, but just don’t overdo it. Still draw it body, but not . Vary the thickness of each arm throughout. Slightly narrow it towards the elbow, then widen it again and narrow it again towards the hand.
note
Avoid averageness and flatness of the image; on the contrary, try to make it three-dimensional, three-dimensional. Pay attention Special attention structural mapping of the knees and elbows.
Helpful advice
To simplify the process of depicting limbs, first draw them schematically, from ovals, then outline the contours, detail all the bends and muscles, and after that remove unnecessary lines using an eraser. And the relief of the muscles can be highlighted using chiaroscuro and shading.
A person is one of the most interesting objects to draw, so a novice artist definitely needs to learn how to depict him. You should start by studying standard proportions. Using this knowledge, you will be able to believably portray any person, regardless of the characteristics of his figure and face.
Instructions
Explore theoretical basis question. There are standard proportions of the human body, which vary depending on the specific figure person. To build a standard human body, draw a vertical axis. Divide it into 8 equal segments. On the first segment from above, draw the head, outline it as an oval, and then expand the upper half of the skull.
Measure 4 more segments down - the groin area is located at this level person. If you go a third of the way up, you will find the fingertip level. Consider the fact that even in a relaxed state, the human hand is slightly bent.
From the bottom point of the vertical axis, rise two segments and mark the location of your knees. By determining the proportional relationship of all parts of the body, you can more clearly work out their shape.
To learn to draw figure in different poses, try modifying the sketch consisting of only lines. Bend and straighten body parts while maintaining their original size.
When drawing bent parts of the body, you need to take into account the peculiarities of the work of various muscles. A minimal knowledge of anatomy will be useful to you if you want to draw people perfectly correctly.
After the outlines of the figure are constructed, you will need to give the object volume. To do this, it is worth taking into account the peculiarities of light distribution on surfaces of different shapes and textures. It is also necessary to study the characteristics of the material you are working with. For example, to achieve natural skin tones in a drawing, watercolors, pastels, and oils must be mixed and applied differently.
The perception of the drawing will be influenced not only by how the body is drawn, but also by the image of the clothing. Carefully design all draperies, taking into account the shape of the body under the fabric and the softness or hardness of the fabric itself - then the image will be realistic.
IN colloquial speech Shoulder usually means the distance from the neck to the shoulder joint. However, the more precise meaning of the term refers to the section of the arm from this joint to the elbow. It is surrounded by a lot of muscles. If you want to learn how to draw a person realistically, study and sketch this part of the body.
You will need
- - paper;
- - pencil;
- - eraser;
- - watercolor;
- - palette;
- - brushes.
Instructions
Draw the axes on which the drawing will be built. Using segments you can roughly depict the bones of the hand, around which you need to draw a shape. Using sighting, measure the proportional relationship of all parts of the arm and torso, record the results in the drawing.
Approximate outlines outline the outline of the left hand. The thickness of the arm at the base of the shoulder is half the length of the humerus. Towards the elbow, the arm gradually narrows.
Divide the length of your arm to the elbow in half. The upper half is occupied by the deltoid muscle. It is clearly visible in the photograph. Draw its shape, reminiscent of a triangle. Make the upper part of the muscle more convex - it should protrude beyond the shoulder joint and, as it were, cover it.
Step back from the top of the triangle by about a quarter of its length. The biceps brachii muscle overlaps here. Since it is not tense, the hand in this place has a smooth, rounded shape. The muscle on the underside of the arm looks the same. Draw it a little more convex at the base.
To convey the volume of an object, shade it or fill it with paint. Softer contours and smooth transitions The colors will work if you choose watercolor or acrylic. Mix shades of sepia, red, yellow, brick in the palette in such proportions to create the skin color. Make a few servings mixed colors different saturation. Paint the lightest areas first - near the elbow and along the left side of the deltoid muscle.
