In this lesson we will look at how to draw a girl in full growth with a pencil in stages. Our girl is athletic with dumbbells in her hand and in sportswear.

To draw a girl in full growth, you first need to build a skeleton, the pose in which she stands. At this stage, the correct proportions are built relative to different parts body. First we draw a small head, I drew a circle, then heading, a face and an ear. You can draw an oval and guides, as in the lesson,. Then we draw with straight lines the parts of the body, neck, spine, arms, legs, hands and feet. Now with simple figures we show parts of the body and joints, in particular the direction of the chest and pelvis. After that, we work out the lines of the girl's body in more detail. At the same time, making the previous lines barely visible.

Erase the drawn lines so that they are slightly visible and start drawing the face. First draw the nose, then the shape of the eyes, eyebrows.

We draw the shape of the face, lips, finalize the eyes, draw the hair. To get a face, you must first practice drawing individual parts of the face:

4. More lessons on individual parts in the section ""

Draw the top, hands, fingers, pants, sneakers and leggings. Apply shadows and the drawing of a sports girl is ready.

Only those who studied at special courses or at an art school will be able to draw a person’s face from nature or from a photograph, since this is not an easy task. To fully transfer the proportions to paper, you need to know the many nuances of each element.

However, if you are a beginner who already has some drawing skills, you can try your hand at drawing a face. First, you should practice drawing various features on a draft: lips, eyebrows, nose. Then, you can take a blank sheet of paper and proceed to the first step of this lesson.

Necessary materials:

• paper;
• eraser;
• pencil;
• marker;
• colored pencils in red, brown, blue, orange tones.

Drawing steps:

1. Draw an oval. This will be the head. Let's draw two auxiliary lines in the center.

2. Now we will correct the shape of the face. With simple curved lines we denote the hair.

3. Let's draw the eyebrows and the upper eyelid of the eye, which should be on a horizontal line.

4. We finish the eyes, namely the lower eyelid, eyeball and pupil, as well as eyelashes. Add a line in the center where the nose is placed.

5. Draw the nose and mouth. The lips will be wide and large.

6. Let's draw the general shape of the hairstyle around the head.

7. Draw the neck and shoulders below.

8. We detail the girl's hair - let's draw the strands.

9. Outline the contour of the face, eyes, eyebrows, nose and lips with a black marker. We will also go over each line of the neck, shoulders, hair.

10. We begin to decorate the phased drawing of the face. First of all, let's color the girl's hair. They will be red. Take an orange pencil and completely shade it along the contour of the hairstyle. In some places, you can give volume with a brown pencil. You can also make the girl a different hair color.

11. Now let's move on to the girl's delicate and sensitive skin. To give natural look first use a pink pencil, then to create a penumbra - red, and for shadow areas - brown.

12. Let's make the girl's lips bright red.

13. Decorate the chic eyebrows on the face with a brown pencil.

14. Then move on to the eyes. Color the lower and upper eyelids with a black marker. Let's make the iris blue. Also decorate the pupil with a marker.

It turned out a beautiful portrait of a girl, and you learned how to draw a woman's face. To draw a man's face, use the same steps, just change their features. After all, the men are more rude.

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, following this master class step by step, there should not be any problems with the image.

We will do the drawing with a pencil, which will allow us to correct any flaws without any problems. It is important, before you draw a girl in full growth, to remember the perspective and center lines.

Stages of creating a drawing of a girl in full growth

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

Step 1 Construction lines

When drawing construction lines, you can rely on people standing nearby, or, as in our example, decor 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 dimensions of its head.

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

the width of the hip joint;

the structure of the shoulder girdle and sternum;

graceful lines of arms and legs;

thin wrists and ankles;

arch 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 curvature of the spine. Hands can be used as an additional supporting element.

With a pencil, easily and accurately, 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 rhyme: "stick, stick, cucumber - it turned out to be a little man."

Step 2. Create volume

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

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

we outline the line of the neck and collarbones;

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

the outlines of the chest should only peek out a little just below the right shoulder;

the girl's legs are crossed. With smooth lines, outline the outlines of the muscles of the legs. We look at the girl from below, so we lengthen her legs a little;

the final stage of the second step is the feet.

Don't worry if it doesn't work 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 railing on which she leans in the dance. All lines on the legs, hands and palms that the railing crosses must be removed.

Step 4. Draw a hairstyle

Now a very important detail - hair. The model has her hair in a loose bun. Her hair was disheveled and fell around her neck. Drawing a hairstyle is a very painstaking task, but with due diligence, it can be done perfectly. To make it easier for you, below is an enlarged image of the model's hair. In the hair, we indicate the shape of the ear.

Step 5. Dressing the top of the model

The hardest part of the work is over. The girl's hair and body are ready. Now we critically evaluate the result. Where necessary we wipe or finish.

Drawing a T-shirt on thin straps, we direct the lines of the shoulders, the interscapular region and the spine. On the T-shirt, do not forget about the folds of the fabric. They will give a more realistic look.

Step 6. Draw visible lines

We direct with a clear line all visible parts of the body and railings. Here are the little things in order:

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

we direct the line of the left hand and the outline of the elbow;

make the shirt more embossed. We outline all the folds and bends of clothing.

Step 7: Draw the Bottom of the Clothes

The shorts on the girl are short and follow the shape of her body. Drawing them is not difficult. We apply folds on the clothes, which should be on the lower back, between the buttocks and on the sides of the thighs. We supplement the shorts with a belt, they should not fit snugly to the legs. Thus, we will show the structure of their material. We complete the line of the spine.

Step 8 Draw the Feet and Leggings

We create clear lines of the legs. Let's move on to training socks. Leggings are much bulkier than the lower leg and have large horizontal pleats.

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 look of the drawing should be similar to the picture below.

You can learn in more detail how to draw a girl in full growth by watching the video master class.

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

In this lesson we will need:

• sketchbook;
• HB pencil;
• nag eraser;
• ruler.

I know there is a lot of time in this tutorial about measuring. In my opinion, on initial stage this is essential especially if you are a beginner. Once you get the hang of proportions and get your hands on female faces, you can repeat this lesson without wasting time on metrics. Ready to practice? Then let's start!

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

Draw a circle and draw a small horizontal line at the bottom, at a distance of 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 to the circle. The forms of women's faces are extremely diverse. As an example, I will use the image of soft cheekbones.

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 the face and divide 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 labeled Center line, 2,3, A, and C.

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

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 limit 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 picture on the left, I've drawn a brow ridge to show the organic position of the brow itself in relation to the brow ridge. In the picture on the right, we can see that the eyebrow is located under line C. To portray a surprised expression, the eyebrow will need to be even closer to line C.

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 must be inside the square. The top of the triangle should be located strictly at the tip of the nose. As mentioned earlier, this example is typical for a face that does not express vivid emotions. If you want to portray a smirk on your face, as if the girl is bluffing in the process of the classic version of the well-known card game, position the lower lip a little lower. Define the teeth by drawing several perpendicular lines.

After you have drawn the lips, you may want to lengthen the chin. Or vice versa, make it shorter so that the proportions look more natural. It's 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 that you refer to this lesson (not yet translated).

The center line and line 2 limit the ears from 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 hair line starts below line A. I also draw the 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 instruction on the image of realistic hair, I recommend referring to one of the.

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

Well, after you have mastered the lesson on the image of a female face, it is time to experiment and perform several exercises without a ruler.

Women and men have fundamental differences in body structure. But, in modern 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. home distinguishing feature consists in the structure of the body of a woman - these are wide hips and narrower shoulders (for men, exactly the opposite indicators). 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 study 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:
