Learn how to draw a beautiful girl. How to draw a woman in full growth with a pencil? Crying girl in pencil

To know how to draw a girl with a pencil, it is not necessary to study art and be an artist. Any beginner can try his hand. It is enough to stock up on perseverance and gradually master some skills. It is important to remember the aspects described below.

Before starting the lesson, novice creators should stock up on materials such as:

You should not save on basic drawing materials, even if we are talking about a novice amateur. Poor quality materials can discourage interest in drawing and complicate the first steps in art. For beginners, the best choice would be products of the middle price category.

The proportions of the female body

The proportions of the female body differ from the male in some ways. In addition, at different times, different proportions were taken as the standard of beauty in the visual arts.

In our time, the following parameters of the female body are relevant for drawing:

  1. To measure height, you need to calculate the height of a woman's head and multiply this parameter by 7-8.5 times. It is useful to know that a person's height is divided exactly in half at the point of the pubic articulation.
  2. To calculate the width of the shoulders, an average of 1.5 head heights is required.
  3. The width of the pelvic bone is directly proportional to the width of her shoulder, and the height of the pelvis in a woman is slightly lower than the height of her head.
  4. The waist is on average equal to 1 head height.
  5. To calculate the height between the base of the chest and the hip joint, you should divide the height of the head in half.

Axes and proportions of the face

Not everyone knows the tricks on how to draw a girl with a pencil. It is easy to explain this process step by step for beginners.

It is enough to know about the following proportions of facial features and about the universal axes on which you can rely in the process of building a face:


Face Drawing Scheme

Scheme:


How to draw a girl in profile

When wondering how to draw a girl with a pencil in stages for beginners, the answer must be sought in the same measurements and center lines as when drawing in full face. You should start drawing by drawing auxiliary lines in the form of a square. Its height should be 1/8 more than its width. All the main axes must be transferred to it, as if a full face was inscribed in it.

Then, one should inscribe an inclined egg-shaped oval in a rectangle between the axis on which the tip of the nose is located and the top of the entire square. This oval helps build the correct shape of the skull, the back of the head and the forehead.

That part of the side of the skull that connects to the neck should be tilted down.

  • From the top extreme point of the oval, you should start drawing the line of the forehead, eyebrows, nose, mouth and chin. In this case, it is necessary to focus on the auxiliary lines drawn. The most protruding point of the forehead, closer to the eyebrows, is in contact with the edge of the square.
  • The eyes are located on their axis. On the face in profile, the eyes take the form of an arrowhead. The round iris becomes a thin, elongated oval with a pointed top and bottom.
  • The tip of the nose will protrude slightly beyond the square. The depression of the bridge of the nose falls on the same axis on which the eyes are located.
  • Lips on a face turned in profile will look protruding, especially the lower lip. The line where the lips meet goes slightly down from the lips. Even if a person smiles, the line goes straight at first, and then smoothly rounds up.
  • The ears are C-shaped when viewed in profile. An arc runs along the edge of the ear - a thin cartilage. In addition, you should remember about the earlobe. When drawing a female face, the ears are often covered with hair.

How to draw a girl in full growth

When drawing a girl in stages with a pencil, it is extremely important for beginners to observe the proportions of the body, which were mentioned earlier. Only observance of proportions will help to avoid the image of an awkward, unrealistic body.

To portray a girl in full growth, it is recommended to consider the following aspects:

  • Image central axis. This axis coincides with the spine of the girl. At the initial level of drawing, it is recommended to draw a figure standing straight and level, in full face. Therefore, the central axis will also be straight.
  • Torso. Schematically, it is recommended to depict it in the form of an inverted triangle. It should not be made too large or wide, as the female figure, on average, has more graceful shoulders and chest.
  • Breast. To determine the correct location of the chest, another smaller one is entered into the triangle of the torso, pointing upwards. At its corners, you need to draw two identical circles, which are the chest.
  • Hips. For the image of the hips, it is convenient to draw a circle, a small part of which goes to the lower corner of the triangle depicting the torso.

Using the received landmarks, you need to connect them with smooth, rounded lines. The figure should acquire the contours of the female body. Next, you need to draw the arms and legs. The length of the arms is just below the inguinal region.

Important points when drawing hair

Scroll:

  • When drawing hair, it is important to pay attention to how the light falls on them. As a rule, the roots of the hair are in the shade, and at some distance from them, a highlight is noticeable on the hair. It should be left unpainted, or just add a few strokes around the edges. Next, it is important to pay attention to how the hair lies in the strands. In the drawing, you should combine small strands into larger ones and depict a glare on them the way light falls. Also, it is necessary to highlight the darker, shady areas so that the drawing does not look flat.
  • Hair lies on the head magnificently, covering part of the forehead and cheeks, ears. Depending on the structure of the hair (curly, straight), they can be more voluminous or vice versa, smooth. It is important to notice the direction in which the hair grows. to reflect them most realistically.
  • There are a lot of hair on a person’s head, but you should not depict them all. It is only necessary to show their general texture. Pencils of various hardness are used for shading hair. For shady areas, take the softest pencil and stroke with pressure. Hard pencils are needed to mark the hairs in the lighter parts and highlights. It is important that the strokes are confident and long. To do this, it is recommended to rest the hand with a pencil on the elbow, and not on the wrist, and draw from the elbow.

Hair drawing step by step

Now we know how to draw a girl with a pencil.

Step by step for beginners, it’s really possible to master such a complex detail as hair:


How to draw a girl with long flowing hair

However, some distinguishing features should be taken into account:


How to draw a girl with short hair

Short hair in the process of drawing has several distinctive features:


How to draw a girl from the back

Many people do not know how to draw a girl with a pencil step by step. For beginners, it will be easy to master drawing a girl from the back.

This is a simpler option, where you will not need to depict her face, chest and other complex details.


However, drawing a girl from the back has its own nuances:

  • Should indicate the width of the shoulders and back. The overall shape will resemble a triangle, however, it should not be too large or wide. Otherwise, the girl will look too strong and masculine.
  • The spine runs vertically in the center of the back, which should be reflected as a few strokes.
  • At the level where the arms are attached to the body, shoulder blades are visible on the back. They should not be made too explicit. But if the figure shows a slender girl, it is advisable to mark the shoulder blades with light strokes.
  • Loose hair often covers the back and neck. Drawing a girl from the back is a good opportunity to depict beautiful curls scattered over her shoulders.

anime style

The anime style involves a stylized image of the figure and face of a girl. As a rule, anime characters have exaggeratedly large and round eyes on a small face, a small mouth and nose (which may be indicated by a dash or a dot). The arms and legs are thin and slender. The girl herself is most often petite and graceful, with a thin waist. The legs are exaggeratedly long.

First you need to make a sketch, depict the head, facial features and hairstyle. Anime hairstyles suggest some carelessness and volume. Next, you should detail the sketch, adding details and paying attention to the location of the shadow and light in the drawing.

in a dress

A pencil drawing of a girl in a dress should begin with a phased sketch of the figure of a girl, as it were, without a dress. For beginners, this will help to correctly build her figure in clothes. It is advisable to take into account that clothing helps to hide those details that are poorly obtained. Therefore, it is important to choose a dress style that will cover the most complex elements of the pattern.

In addition, the style of the dress should fit the drawn girl and sit well on her.

When drawing a dress, it is important to consider the material from which it is intended to be made. Soft and delicate material will flow or fit the figure, dense will not deform along the lines of the girl's body. In addition, the direction and distribution of light should be considered in order to reflect soft lighting onto the fabric. So the picture will turn out more voluminous and naturalistic.

How to apply chiaroscuro with strokes

Hatching is an important element of drawing a girl with a pencil, and for beginners, first of all, it requires a step-by-step training. You need to learn how to apply strokes, changing the saturation from dark to light as softly as possible. The softer and smoother the transition, the better hatching is mastered.

To draw a girl, one should take into account the rules for the construction and proportions of her body and face. In drawing, training and observation are important, which will help to depict what you want with the greatest accuracy.

Hi all! Today we will tell you about how to draw a girl! This lesson will not be the first about girls on our site, but, apparently, our artists just liked doing a lesson dedicated to these beautiful creatures. Today, by the way, we have a girl drawn in a comic style on our agenda.

Older artists will surely remember the grotesquely luxurious wife of Roger, about whom a whole feature film was shot. By the way, this was the first film in which animated, drawn characters coexisted side by side with live actors. But, we digress. Let's start the lesson and find out!

Step 1

In our last lesson on that, you can read about all the features of the proportions of the female body. Now we will draw a stickman - a little man from sticks and circles, so they will come in handy for us. The main purpose of the stickman is to indicate the position of the character on , his posture and proportions.

So, about proportions. From super-duper important, we note that the height of a girl, like , is equal to the sum of the lengths of seven heads, only the girls are proportionally lower on average. A feature of the female figure is also approximately the same width of the shoulders and hips (in men, the shoulders are much wider). By the way, in men the shoulders are so wide that three head widths fit into their width, in women the ratio of shoulders and head width is completely different - this is very clearly shown on our stickman.

Of the features of the posture, we note the spine, which bends to one side, the head, which leans in the opposite direction, and the slightly sloping line of the hips.

Step 2

In this step, we have to give the stickman the necessary volume, but first we will mark out the face, because all the drawing lessons of people on our site are drawn and detailed in the direction from head to toe, from top to bottom.
So face. Let's mark it with a vertical line of facial symmetry, as well as several horizontal lines. The main and longest of the horizontal lines will be the eye line (it is slightly curved down due to the tilt of the head), below it will be the lines of the nose and mouth, and high above it will be the hair line.

Let's get to the body.
The torso of the girl has the shape of an hourglass, which expands from above and below (chest and hips, respectively) and narrows in the middle, at the waist. Pay attention to the slight turn of the body - it is indicated by external contours and also by the fact that the chest on the right side of us slightly covers the arm. Another point - the legs, connecting with the body, form obtuse angles from the inside.

The arms should be graceful and thin, the only extension is present at the beginning of the forearm, at the elbow, but it is also insignificant. The arms in this step can be conditionally divided into three parts - the shoulder, forearm and hands.
In general, the main recommendation for this stage is to try to make all the curves of the body as smooth and feminine as possible, there should not be rough, voluminous forms or sharp corners.

Step 3

We continue our drawing lesson. Let's outline the girl's hairline. Conventionally, we can divide it into two parts - the one in front of the face, closer to us, and the one behind the face, it is located in the back of the head.
Pay attention to how these two parts differ in size: the one in front of us is larger than not only the second, back part, but even the head itself a little. At the top right, we outline a couple of small ornamental balls located on the rim.
The second action in our step will be sketching out the lines of the upper part of our girl's clothes. In terms of the location of this piece of clothing, be guided by the previously outlined lines of the arms, torso and hips. By the way, clothing lines should be drawn from bottom to top.

Step 4

Using the markup of the face, draw one eye, eyebrow and plump lips. Pay special attention to the shape of the eyebrows, eyes and their location - it is with the help of these factors that the effect of a slight forward tilt is given.
Another point - the lower lip should be noticeably thicker than the upper. The lower lip is almost straight, while the lower lip curves considerably.

Step 5

Erase the extra guide lines from the previous steps from the face and draw in the eye, eyebrow, and lips. Pay attention to the eyelid, the position of the pupil and the eyelashes - all these details form the look.

Step 6

Let's draw a part of the bangs that hides the girl's eye. Do not forget to work on the lapel, which is located approximately in the middle. Hair should be drawn in the direction from the roots to the tips.

Step 7

The rest of the hairstyle should be drawn in the same direction - from the roots of the hair to the tips. Do not forget about the slightly twisted ends of the strands, the rim and the decorations on it in the form of three skulls. By the way, the same jewelry is on the earrings, the heroine of the Monster High series.

Step 8

We wrap around our left shoulder, chest and neck. Pay attention to the lines that indicate the collarbone - they are not very large and noticeable, but they must be marked. When drawing the shoulder and chest, use smooth lines - the contours of the body should be feminine and smoothly curved.

Step 9

Erase extra guide lines from both arms and torso. The torso and arms should be edged with dense, confident contours, and the lines of folds on the fabric should be lighter. Again, do not forget that the body should have graceful feminine curves, there should not be voluminous muscles or rough contours.

Step 10

We circle the lower part of the girl's body and legs. Pay attention to the hem and folds located on the linen. With a couple of lines, outline the visible contours of the abdominals.

If you just liked this girl, you can always get acquainted with the same one, or with the one that will be even more beautiful. When meeting, try to surprise a girl, for example, by drawing for her - this act is very effective and memorable.

Drawing a human figure is one of the main branches of fine art. Already creating the first drawings, any kid tries to portray a person, for example, his mother, his father, brother or grandmother. Of course, children do not succeed in portraying people right away. As a rule, the first drawings of a person made by kids are distinguished by their primitiveness, sketchiness and monotony. Experts explain this by the fact that young children have not yet accumulated enough life observations of the movements and proportions of the human figure.
In general, a person is the most difficult object to draw. Therefore, you should not expect from a child that he will immediately draw a masterpiece. Parents should help the kid, and then he will surely get carried away with drawing and learn to more or less realistically portray the human figure.
So, to draw a person you will need:
1). Colour pencils;
2). Gel pen (black is better);
3). Pencil;
5). Eraser;
6). Paper that has a fairly smooth surface.


If everything is ready, you can get to work:
1. Draw a small oval first;
2. Draw a straight line to the oval;
3. Just below the head, draw a bell depicting a dress;
4. Sketch both legs under the bell;
5. Draw hands with thin lines;
6. Draw the hands;
7. Draw a handkerchief on the girl's head;
8. Draw a bang. Then draw the eyes, nose and mouth;
9. Draw the girl's outfit in more detail, and also depict the flowers that she collects;
10. Circle all the contours with a pen;
11. Erase the sketch with an eraser. Start coloring the drawing;
12. Finish coloring the picture, choosing bright and juicy shades.
The drawing of the girl is completely ready. Children will surely enjoy drawing a human figure. They will enthusiastically portray the heroes of any fairy tales, members of their family and friends.

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 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:

Man is practically made of water. In addition, we absorb water in liters per day. And the water must come out, once it enters, there are ways. We walk a little, we sweat, but all this is trifles compared to the fact that we know how to cry. Today we will take the time to do just that, and find out how to draw tears Let's start with the fact that tears, as a phenomenon, are inherent only in humanoids. Not a single developed creature can sob and burst into tears. This is because humans are weak creatures, they lack willpower and weep at every opportunity, while animals are more resistant to stress. We also call ourselves the highest race on Earth.

But it just so happened that tears are good. For example, there is evidence that tears are soothing. If earlier you thought that the very process of sobbing makes it easier, then this is nonsense, because, in fact, tears remove all sorts of harmful stress hormones from the body. Here is the result for you, we cried, and immediately became more cheerful. Also, tears help keep our eyes from drying out. Plus, after crying, you will see a little better for a while. Glasses approved.

But there is also a bad side of tears, besides the fact that they give you a crybaby. When you roar, 43 facial muscles actively accompany this, while only 17 muscles are involved in laughter. So, in order to avoid wrinkles, you can laugh as much as you like, but it is clearly not recommended to cry a lot.

What causes tears:

  • Tears of sadness. Yes, these are the usual salty, or bitter, tears that we shed at the first bad situation. Women especially love this process, although they are smaller in size than men, which means there is less fluid in their bodies.
  • Tears of happiness. It turns out that you can not only cry from grief. It happens that a person cries with happiness, and this is not a myth. This is because great joy is also stress and a shake-up for the body. Emotionally, we tire our body no less than in sadness.
  • Crocodile tears. They say the crocodile is a killer with a soft and subtle soul. When he eats his prey, he cries. It's like a killer coming to his victim's funeral. In fact, the crocodile is exactly as soulless as the green one. And he cries not with tears, but with the secretion of the salivary glands. Soulless beast.
  • In the people there is such a phrase: How the cat cried. Does this mean that the cat is also trying to be a soft predator, like a crocodile? Not at all, but the phrase itself is related to cats, like a tank to a chocolate bar. So they call something that is very, very little. I'll show you with an example: You have brains like a cat cried. Which means: You are quite dumb in your appearance. It seems that he didn’t offend much, but he conveyed the necessary information.

And yet, if you have to cry, then cry only from happiness. And don't care about your eyes, let them dry, but you can't show your weakness to everyone. You will be considered weak-willed, and easy, and will be less appreciated. If you want to cry, do it quietly and unnoticed by anyone.

And now let's try to draw bitter tears. Let's get started.
