Divide the torsoįinally, I like to divide the torso with a vertical line. This ellipse will define where the neck will be placed.Īs you already notice, one head is the distance between the base of the neck and the lower chest line. Above the clavicle, I will draw an ellipse. This one will define were the clavicle will be situated. On top of the torso, I also draw another curve. On the sides will tell us were the floating ribs will be placed. In his higher part will mark the end of the breastbone and the lower chest.
This curve line will cross the center of the torso. Once I have the torso drawn, I proceed to divide the rib cage from the abdomen with a curve line. You can choose whatever method you prefer. Other people prefer to draw the ribcage first and the abdomen after. In my case, when I’m drawing the torso I’m doing it like one big part. Once you have the torso and the hips placed, to draw the head and the limbs become way easier. The reason is that the torso dictates the whole position of the body. They will help us measure the different parts of the body. Those 8 heads will represent the ideal human body proportions. The 8 headsĪs you can see in the image above, I placed 8 heads, one on top of each other. Newbies tend to focus on drawing perfectly the biceps or the pecs and forget about the big picture: well-balanced proportions. Teaching my students I realize for beginners is much easy if we focus on creating a dummy instead of going for muscle groups when drawing a person. Like I told you my objective here is to draw a well-proportion dummy. But, before we start, you need to understand the importance of proportions. Now let´s go more in-depth and explain each step of the tutorial.

In any case, if after finishing this tutorial you wanna know more about how to improve your drawing skills and become proficient in character drawing, you should check my course on “How to Draw Characters Like a Pro”, when I teach the techniques and methods professional artist use when drawing characters. This tutorial can be followed no matter what medium you use, traditional or digital. Step 7: Draw the rest of the body on top of your dummy.The eyes, the nose, the lips, ears, and hair. You can do it by drawing an ellipse and dividing the different planes of the head. Use tubes for the thighs and the shins, and triangles for the feet. Simple shapes like an ellipse for the shoulder, tubes for the arms, and squares for the hands will do the trick. Step 3: Draw the shoulders and the arms.You can draw this area of the body like an if it was a short underwear.
Do not focus on muscles and focus on general shape and form.
