How to draw an adult woman. Learning how to draw a beautiful girl

Today we will learn how to draw a girl step by step with a pencil.

The picture is not easy, beginners will need to make every effort. But if you follow this master class step by step, you shouldn’t have any problems with the image.

We will do the drawing in pencil, which will allow us to easily correct any flaws. It is important, before drawing a full-length girl, to remember about perspective and center lines.

Stages of creating a full-length drawing of a girl

For convenience, the master class is divided into understandable steps. By following the tips, you will get a great drawing.

Step 1 Construction lines

When drawing structural lines, you can rely on people standing nearby, or, as in our example, decorative elements.

In classical art theory there is a rule of “seven heads”. It means that the body is related to the head in a ratio of 7:1 and consists, with an ideal structure, of 7 sizes of its head.

You need to know how to draw a person, a girl in our case. Take into account the design features of the female body and its differences from the male:

width of the hip joint;

structure of the shoulder girdle and sternum;

graceful lines of arms and legs;

thin wrists and ankles;

arching of the back, especially in the lumbar region.

Today we are drawing a girl from the back. This affects the depth and direction of the spine's curve. Hands can be used as an additional support element.

With a pencil, lightly and carefully, we begin to draw:

figure parameters;

head tilt;

body proportions.

We draw with light, fuzzy lines. So far our picture is similar to a children's poem: “stick, stick, cucumber - it turned out to be a little man.”

Step 2.Create volume

Now we will give our frame volume. It is worth dividing this step into small steps:

At the bends of the arms and legs, at the joints, draw circles. They will help create proportional limbs. The circles should not be large, since we are depicting an elegant and beautiful girl. If we go too far at this stage, we can get not a dancer, but a bodybuilder;

outline the line of the neck and collarbones;

now, on the currently invisible supporting part, draw the outlines of the palm;

the outline of the chest should only protrude slightly just below the right shoulder;

The girl's legs are crossed. Using smooth lines, highlight the outlines of the leg muscles. We are looking at the girl from below, so we lengthen her legs a little;

The final stage of the second step is the feet.

It's okay if you don't succeed the first time. The beauty of the pencil is that all mistakes can be carefully corrected.

Step 3 Railing - fulcrum

The easiest but most important step. We draw the railings on which she leans while dancing. All lines on the legs, hands and palms that cross the railings need to be removed.

Step 4.Draw the hairstyle

Now a very important detail - the hair. The model's hair is pulled back into a messy bun. Her hair became disheveled and fell down her neck. Drawing a hairstyle is a very painstaking task, but with due diligence you can do it perfectly. To make it easier for you, below is an enlarged image of the model’s hair. In the hair we denote the shape of the ear.

Step 5. Dress the upper part of the model

The hardest part of the job is over. The girl's hair and body are ready. Now let’s critically evaluate the result obtained. Where necessary we erase or complete the drawing.

Drawing a T-shirt with thin straps, we draw the lines of the shoulders, interscapular area and spine. On a T-shirt, do not forget about the folds of the fabric. They will give a more real look.

Step 6. Draw visible lines

We draw a clear line on all visible parts of the body and railings. Let's put the little things in order:

draw the wrist and hand of the right hand, draw a line of knuckles and fingers;

draw the line of the left hand and the outline of the elbow;

making the T-shirt more embossed. We outline all the folds and bends of the clothing.

Step 7. Draw the bottom of the clothes

The girl's shorts are short and follow the shape of her body. Drawing them is not difficult. We apply folds to the clothes, which should be on the lower back, between the buttocks and on the sides of the thighs. We complement the shorts with a belt; they should not fit tightly to the legs. In this way we will show the structure of their material. Finishing the line of the spine.

Step 8 Draw the feet and leg warmers

Create clear lines of the legs. And let's start with training socks. Gaiters are much bulkier than the shin and have large horizontal folds.

Step 9 Finishing Touches

Our work is coming to an end. Putting the finishing touches on. Create the texture of the gaiter material and the shape of the railing.

The final appearance of the drawing should be similar to the picture below.

One of the easiest ways to draw a female figure is to draw taking into account, that is, taking into account certain ratios of the sizes of individual parts of the body to the entire figure. However, to more effectively draw a female figure, you should become familiar with the structure of the human skeleton and muscles.

The height of a woman's head is 1/8 of her height

Let's consider the most practical, simple and common way to build a female figure, which is based on the statement that the height of a woman's head is equal to 1/8 of her total height. A similar construction method must be used with one amendment. The height of the head fits the woman’s height not exactly 8, but 7.5 times. Unlike the construction of a male figure, where the entire height is conventionally divided into 8 equal parts, this takes into account the fact that a woman has one more vertebra and, accordingly, the upper part of the body is slightly larger than the lower.

To begin constructing a female figure using this method, draw a vertical line and divide it into 8 equal parts. We divide the bottom eight again into pieces - at this level the line of the base of the feet will pass. The remaining divisions are distributed as follows:

Mark 0 - crown of the head.
1 mark - lower line of the chin.
Mark 2 - nipples.
3rd mark - waist line, navel.
4th mark - line of the base of the legs, groin area.
8 (7.5) mark - the base of the feet.

The level of the knees will be centered between the 4 mark (base of the legs) and 8 (base of the feet). The height of the face according to this method from the chin to the upper border of the forehead is equal to 3/4 of the height of the head. The length of the hand is equal to the height of the face.

About the female figure

When asked what the ideal proportions should be for a woman, they often say 90x60x90. But this ideal is very far from reality. It was invented only to standardize clothing collections and took into account, in addition to body circumference, height. It is important to note that any attempt to standardize the female figure is not able to cover the entire diversity of existing female images. All women are unique. Moreover, in a professional environment it is believed that what makes a woman truly beautiful and unique are her small disproportions, which in their entirety are harmonious. Ah, harmony is beauty.

Background

In historical retrospect, the female figure was less often subjected to an attempt at standardization than the male figure. When depicting the female figure, artists and designers more often paid attention to the beauty of the overall image. The highest peak of attempts to standardize the female figure occurred in the past and present centuries. This is due to the boom in sales of women's clothing and accessories. It was necessary to standardize female parameters for mass production. Otherwise, when depicting a female body, even professionals often pay attention to the general figurative beauty of a woman rather than to the rigid construction of her body, and sometimes even completely violating the proportions for the sake of a beautiful line that emphasizes the image.

Step by step learning to draw
female figure

It is better to start drawing a female figure after mastering drawing a male figure. This is due to the fact that the skeleton and muscle mass are often better visible on a male figure. This allows you to gradually move from a rigid and detailed drawing to a more figurative one.

The female figure, like the male figure, must first be learned to draw from classical statues. Then you can start drawing the female figure from life. It is advisable, just as in drawing male figures, to draw female figures in the following sequence: standing, sitting, lying.

It is important to sketch female figures from life as much as possible.

Drawing people on paper is not such a simple form of artistic reproduction and requires some training. Let's try to figure it out and learn how to do it with a pencil.

Learning to draw a female figure

Sketching in pencil is an interesting and always exciting activity. In order to learn how to draw a girl with a pencil, you need to take into account all the proportions of the human body.

Drawing steps:

Face and hands in the image of people

A portrait is a graphic representation of a person, taking into account his individual characteristics, by which he can be easily recognized. This genre is the most difficult in fine art.

while maintaining its inherent individuality? It is very important for the artist to display the eyes and hands in order to convey the similarity with the original. Hands play an important role in the sketch. They help express joy, sadness, and thoughtfulness. They are either on their knees, beautifully supporting their face, or folding in any other gesture. Paired with a face, hands convey the state of a person at the time of drawing.

You can draw a portrait from a living person or from a photograph. To simplify your task at the initial stages of learning, it is better to take a ready-made image for work.

Features of a female portrait

In order to understand how to draw a girl with a pencil, remember that she is characterized by smooth curves of the body, softer and thinner. Therefore, the drawing should not contain sharp and rough lines, which are relevant for depicting a male drawing.

Pencil:

Drawing a girl is not easy, but quite exciting. Therefore, in order to understand how to draw a girl with a pencil, you must not only learn how to convey the resemblance to the original, but also try to show the character with the help of a smile, expressiveness of the eyes and gestures.

STEP 1. First, when drawing a woman's face or body, remember that it is made up of soft lines and arcs! STEP 2. When you start drawing, remember that faces can be drawn at different age levels.

For example: child's face (1), teenager (2), adult woman (3), old woman (4).

Hope this example helps you! STEP 3. Eyes are very important for a woman’s face, because they can convey not only character or mood, but also age.
STEP 4. And now a little secret for cutting. As you can see, a woman’s hair always has a lot of arcs and soft lines! STEP 5. I would like to show you that the female body, like the face and hair, consists of smooth lines and curves. STEP 6. In the previous step, we looked at the structure of the standard female figure. Now I will show you several other types of female body.

As a rule, the chest and hips should be the same width, but this rule applies to standard woman figures.

In nature, there are also other types of women, when the hips are larger than the breasts. Or when the breasts are larger than the hips. Also, some women have boyish bodies! All this depends on heredity and genetics.
Step 7: Perspective is also important when drawing the female figure. With different viewing angles, certain sizes of body parts change.

Here are some examples.
Step 8. I suggest you look at some examples of poses for female characters. Just like their bodies, their movements are too soft!

If you want to draw a more feminine pose, look at different photos of movie stars
Step 9. Now let's start practicing drawing the female figure.

First, draw reference lines for the figure of the future character. Step 10: Make the Face Shape Step 11. Now draw the eyes and eyebrows. As you can see the girl's face from the side, it is much easier to draw the face! Step 12. Let's complete the face with small details such as the mouth, nose and details of her eyes too. Step 13. Now we draw her long hair and part of the shoulder with the neck. Step 14 Add small details to her hair. Now, you can see how many soft lines there are. Step 15. Now draw the basic shapes of the hands. Step 16. Draw small details on the back, arms and fingers! It's a little more difficult, but try your best! Step 17 Now draw the basic lines of the clothing! Step 18. After this, draw the details and lines on the clothes. Step 19 And now we're on to the last big part! We have to draw the basic shape of her legs! Step 20.

Now all you have to do is add color to your design! Also see the lesson.

This lesson is about how to draw a girl's face without pronounced emotions with soft facial features.

In this tutorial we will need:

sketchbook;
HB pencil;
eraser;
ruler.

I know this tutorial spends a lot of time on measuring. In my opinion, this is necessary at the initial stage, especially if you are a beginner. Once you've mastered proportions and become proficient at drawing women's faces, you can repeat this lesson without wasting time on metrics. Ready to practice? Then let's begin!

How to draw a girl's face. Step 1: Face Shape.

Draw a circle and draw a small horizontal line at the bottom, half the diameter of the circle. It is important to follow this rule, since the circle was drawn by hand.

Women have smaller chins than men. Chin augmentation will add masculinity to a woman's face.

After that, draw the cheekbones by connecting the chin with the circle. The shapes of women's faces are extremely diverse. I'll use an image of soft cheekbones as an example.

Then draw a vertical line exactly in the middle of the future face.

How to draw a girl's face.Step 2: Outline the proportions.

Measure the length of your face and divide it into eight equal parts. Label each part with a serial number or letter as shown in the figure. Then, using a ruler, draw straight horizontal lines through the points marked Center line, 2,3, A and C.

If you have completed this tutorial several times and want to try drawing a face without using a ruler, draw the lines in this order: Center line, 2, 3, B, A, C, breaking the lines in the middle each time over and over again.

How to draw a girl's face. Step3: Eyes.

Divide the center line inside the face into five equal parts. Remember that women's eyes are wider and more open than men's.

How to draw a girl's face.Step 4: Nose.

To draw the nose, draw two vertical lines down from the inner edge of the eye to line 3. These lines will define the width of the nose. Then draw a small circle just above line 2. My nose will be short and narrow, with a narrow bridge.

How to draw a girl's face.Step 5: Eyebrows.

In the drawing on the left, I drew the brow arch to show the organic position of the eyebrow itself in relation to the arch. In the picture on the right, we see that the eyebrow is located under the C line. To portray a surprised expression, the eyebrow will need to be brought even closer to the C line.

How to draw a girl's face.Step 6: Lips.

To mark the boundaries of the lips, from the middle of each pupil you will need to draw a perpendicular line down to line 3. Then draw a triangle, the beginning of which will go from the tip of the nose. The base of the triangle should be inside the square. The apex of the triangle should be located strictly at the tip of the nose. As mentioned earlier, this example is typical of a face that does not express strong emotions. If you want to put a smirk on your face, as if the girl is bluffing while playing a classic version of a well-known card game, place your lower lip a little lower. Mark the teeth by drawing several perpendicular lines.

After you've drawn in the lips, you may want to lengthen the chin. Or vice versa, make it shorter so that the proportions look more natural. This is quite normal. I constantly adjust these proportions.

How to draw a girl's face.Step 7: Ears.

The boundary lines for the ears are the center line and line 2. To practice drawing realistic ears, we recommend checking out this tutorial (not yet translated).

The center line and line 2 define the ears above and below.

How to draw a girl's face.Step 8: Hair.

When drawing women's hair, remember that a woman's forehead is usually smaller and narrower than a man's. In my example, the hairline starts below line A. I also draw hair on both sides of the temples, but make sure that the hair is not too close to the eyebrows. Don't forget to add volume to your hair by leaving a little space between your hair and your head. For more detailed instructions on how to depict realistic hair, I recommend contacting one of them.

Before erasing all the auxiliary lines, check again how harmonious the proportions of the face are. If after checking you are satisfied with the result, you can safely wash them.
