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 that with a pencil.

Learning to draw a female figure

Sketching with a 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 the visual arts.

retaining 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 in the sketch play an important role. They help to express joy, sadness, thoughtfulness. They either kneel, or beautifully support the face or fold in any other gesture. Together with the face, the hands convey the state of the 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 finished 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 body curves, softer and thinner. Therefore, the drawing should not have sharp and rough lines that 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, it is necessary not only to learn how to convey the resemblance to the original, but also to try to show the character with a smile, expressive eyes and gestures.

Women and men have fundamental differences in body structure. But, in today's world, some women look like men because of their clothes and hairstyles. However, no matter how hard a woman tries to look like a man, we can still recognize her. The main distinguishing feature is the structure of the woman's body - these are wide hips and narrower shoulders (in men, exactly the opposite figures). At drawing a woman in full growth it is worth starting from this basic rule, and the rest of the secrets of construction can be learned from this step-by-step lesson.

Materials and tools:

1. White sheet of paper.
2. Simple pencil.
3. Eraser.

Stages of work:

Photo 1. First you need to draw a vertical center line with a simple pencil. We leave serifs at the edges of the segment. They will determine the total body height that cannot be exceeded:

Photo 2. We divide the segment in half. Thus, the line is divided into two parts, along which we will later build the body. Next, divide the upper segment in half again, and measure another half from the resulting upper segment. The uppermost segment is the height of the woman's head:

Photo 3. Now you need to outline the location of the shoulders. The shoulder line will be under the head, namely under the second (top) serif. Let's retreat a little down from the head, leaving some room for the neck. Draw the line of the shoulders at an angle, because the woman will stand slightly leaning:

Photo 4. Next, we need to find out the place of the waist and knees. To do this, you need to divide the center line into three parts. To make this easy, we divide the lower half of the center line in half, but the line of the knees will be slightly higher. We measure its height and transfer it to the center line three times, leaving serifs. The result should be three equal parts:

Photo 5. Now we outline the waist line. It will be located on the serif between the first and second half of the divided center line (there are 3 parts in total), and the hips are slightly lower and twice as wide as the waist. We draw the hips and waist at an angle, opposite to the shoulders:

Photo 6. We unite the shoulders and waist along the edges, and from the waist we draw a line to the hips. It is necessary to outline the length of the skirt - it will be equal to two distances from the waist to the hips:

Photo 7. From the shoulders we outline the location of the hands. The left arm will be bent at the elbow and is at waist level, and the right arm will be raised and laid aside:

Photo 8. Now let's draw the legs. Do not forget that the knees should be located at the level of the notch. The right leg will go a little behind the left:

Photo 9. Let's draw the head in the form of an oval, and on it we will "outline" the hair. Most of them will fall to the left side:

Photo 10. Let's draw the hands and give them a shape. The girl will hold her left hand at the waist, and the right hand will be set aside:

Photo 12. With an eraser, we remove the extra lines that were previously needed for construction. Strengthen the contour of the woman's body:

Photo 13. Let's draw the features of the woman's face. We don’t put much emphasis on drawing the face, because our main task is to learn how to draw a woman in full growth, namely the body. You can check out my separate lesson " how to draw a female portrait", where I work out the details of the girl's face in detail:

Photo 14. Set the tone for the hair. Near the bends we make the strokes of the pencil denser:

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, for more effective drawing of a female figure, you should get acquainted with the structure of the human skeleton and muscles.

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

Consider the most practical, simple and common way of constructing a female figure, which proceeds from 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 in the height of a woman not exactly 8, but 7.5 times. Unlike building a male figure, where the entire height is conditionally divided into 8 equal parts, this takes into account the fact that a woman has one more vertebra and, accordingly, the upper body is slightly larger than the lower.

To start building a female figure with this method, we draw a vertical and divide it into 8 equal parts. We divide the lower eighth into two more hits - at this level the line of the base of the feet will pass. The remaining divisions are distributed as follows:

• 0 mark - the crown of the head.
• 1 mark - the lower line of the chin.
• 2 mark - nipples.
• 3 mark - waist line, navel.
• 4 mark - the line of the base of the legs, inguinal region.
• 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 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 should be the ideal proportions of a woman, they often say 90x60x90. However, this ideal is very far from reality. It was invented only to standardize clothing collections and took into account, in addition to body circumferences, also height. It is important to note that any attempt to standardize the female figure is not able to cover the entire variety of existing female images. All women are unique. Moreover, in a professional environment, it is believed that a truly beautiful and unique woman is made by her small imbalances, which in their entirety are harmonious. And harmony is beauty.

Background

The female figure in a historical retrospective was less often subjected to an attempt to standardize than the male one. In depicting the female figure, artists and designers 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 displaying the female body, even professionals often pay attention to the overall figurative beauty of a woman, rather than to the rigid construction of her body, and sometimes 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 the drawing of a male figure. This is due to the fact that the skeleton and muscle mass are often better seen on the 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, first needs to learn how to draw from classical statues. Then you can start drawing a female figure from life. It is advisable, as well 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.

The human figure is far from the easiest object to draw. However, by starting to create a drawing with the simplest baselines, you can maintain all proportions and complete a neat and beautiful drawing. Our tips will help you with this.

Preparation for work

So that at any time you can correct the drawing, choose a hard pencil for work. First you will need to draw the body in a sketchy manner. Do this without pressing hard on the lead so as not to scratch the paper. After completing this stage, take a softer pencil to work. Also make sure that the eraser is of good quality - this will easily remove imperfections and at the same time will not leave streaks and stains on the sheet.

We draw the girl's body in stages

To draw the body of a girl in stages, we first determine the position of the figure. Next, we outline the base lines on the basis of which we will build a silhouette.

The simplest thing is to draw the body of a girl standing directly facing you. Having successfully completed this task, you can try to draw a girl standing sideways, sitting on a chair or lying on the beach, for example.
