How to Draw a Human Figure

Step 1: First you gotta draw the torso, with the rib cage and the abdomen. Do not focus on muscles and focus on general shape and form.

Step 2: Draw the hips. Again make it simple. You can draw this area of the body like an if it was a short underwear.

Step 3: Draw the shoulders and the arms. Simple shapes like an ellipse for the shoulder, tubes for the arms, and squares for the hands will do the trick.

Step 4: Draw the legs. Use tubes for the thighs and the shins, and triangles for the feet.

Step 5: Draw the head. You can do it by drawing an ellipse and dividing the different planes of the head.

Step 6: Draw the facial features. The eyes, the nose, the lips, ears, and hair. All on top of your dummy’s head.

Step 7: Draw the rest of the body on top of your dummy.
