Basic Steps for Drawing a Person for Beginners: A Guide from Experts

The fascinating art of drawing the human figure can often seem daunting to beginners. But with the right approach and step-by-step instructions, you can develop your skills and create impressive drawings. In this article, we will look at the basic steps that will help you begin your adventure in drawing the human figure, a soothing and relaxing process similar to the beneficial effects of a Thai massage .

1. Start with Basic Shapes

Before diving into the details, it's important to start with basic shapes. Imagine the human body as a combination of simple geometric shapes - circles, ovals, and rectangles.

  • Head: Draw an oval or circle for the head.
  • Torso: Use an oval or rectangle for the torso.
  • Limbs: For the arms and legs, use rectangles or ovals.

This approach helps build the foundation without getting lost in the details from the start.

2. Build the Figure's Skeleton

Once you have the basic shapes, draw the skeletal structure. Imagine the human skeleton and make light lines that connect the head to the torso, the shoulders to the arms, and the pelvis to the legs.

Connection Points: Pay attention to the joints - shoulders, elbows, wrists, pelvis, knees and ankles. This will create a more dynamic and realistic pose.

3. Add Volume

Once you have the skeleton, start adding volume to the shapes. Use gentle curves to draw the muscles and soft tissues of the body.

  • Shoulders and Chest: Add curves that show the shape of the shoulders and chest.
  • Arms and legs: Make the muscle shapes more pronounced.

This is the moment when the figure begins to take on a more human appearance.

4. Develop Proportions

One of the keys to successfully drawing a human figure is understanding proportions. On average, a human figure can be divided into about 7-8 heads. This is a general rule that can vary, but it is a good starting point.

  • Head height: Use the head as a measure for the rest of the body.
  • Shoulder width: Typically, the shoulders are slightly wider than the pelvis.
  • Limb length: Arms reach approximately mid-thigh.

Learning these proportions will help you create more realistic figures.

5. Add Details

Once you have the basic shape, start adding details. Draw the clothes, facial features, hair, and other elements.

  • Face: Pay attention to the placement of the eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Clothes: Use the body lines as a guide when drawing the clothes.

Don't try to add too much detail at once. Focus on the main elements and gradually add more detail.

6. Practice Regularly

As with any skill, regular practice is essential. Set aside time every day to draw and you will see improvement. Don't be discouraged by mistakes, they are part of the process.

Tip: Draw from real people, use photos, or observe your surroundings. This will help you better understand anatomy and proportions.
