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.
And this drawing lesson was drawn and painted for you by the artists of the site Drawingforall. Don't forget to check out our VK page, we regularly post cool art there and review fresh lessons. Stay with us and learn to draw even cooler, see you soon!
Learn to proportionally and beautifully draw a woman in clothes in a static pose or in motion.
If you want to improve your drawing skills and learn how to depict the female body, figure, arms and legs of a woman, be sure to read this article! Master classes with step-by-step photos of different levels of complexity have been selected for you.
How to beautifully draw a figure of a woman's man in full-length clothes in stages with a pencil for beginners and children?
A woman is often the first thing a small child tries to draw. He wants to be his mother! The child's drawing is only schematic. On it the body is an oval, the head is a circle, the arms and legs are “sticks” or “sausages”, and the hair is a simple shading. Of course, such drawings are touching. But if your child has reached school age and clearly shows interest in drawing, try with him to learn how to draw a woman in full growth, not schematically, but in proportion and technique.
IMPORTANT: If you want you or your child to draw women really beautifully, you can't do without studying anatomy. It must be remembered that the figure will be proportional if you take the head as a unit of measurement. So, the height of a woman should be equal to 7-8 heads. And in order for the curves of the female body to be smooth and beautiful, one should carefully study the skeleton of a woman and her naked body.
Are you drawing with a younger student? Then, of course, everything will be easier, there will be no need to go into anatomical details.
Let the child draw an oval, narrowed down. This will be the blank for the head. From the center of the oval, you need to draw a straight line two heads long - the axis of the body.
Since the woman in the figure will be in clothes, more precisely, in a dress, there is no need to draw hips and legs. Draw a quarter circle divided into three segments.
Focusing on the axis, draw a trapezoid with a smaller base downwards, this will be the torso. On both sides of the larger base, draw semicircles - blanks for the sleeves of the dress.
Detail the drawing - draw the woman's hairstyle.
Draw the woman's hands. Forearms in length should be equal to one and a half heads, brushes - 1 head.
Add legs to the drawing of a woman, detail her dress.
Remove guide lines. Draw facial features as you wish.
How to draw a woman's body in clothes with a pencil?
When you start drawing a woman's body, don't be too lazy to study her skeleton and nude images. Try mentally or on a piece of paper to divide the body into basic shapes, mostly triangles.
Imagine the torso in the form of two triangles, at the level of the waist, connecting at the vertices. These triangles can be the same, since, basically, the width of a woman's hips is equal to the width of her shoulders.
After that, the female figure should be streamlined, since, unlike the male figure, it has more smooth curves.
The next possible difficulty is drawing the female breast. Imagine that you are sculpting from plasticine. Stick two identical semicircles to the torso of your figure, smooth them from above. It will turn out something like the picture below.
Drawing female breasts can be tricky. Transmit the movements of the female body by moving the axis line.
Now try to draw a portrait of a woman from the waist up.
Draw an oval - a blank for the head, as well as straight lines - the axis of the body, the axes of the arms and legs. Try to keep proportions. Use small circles to mark the places where the joints will be.
The torso of a woman in pencil: step 1. Draw the contours of the body and hair of the woman.
In the figure, the woman will be in a tight-fitting dress, mark its boundaries. Add jewelry to a woman - a bracelet on her wrist. Draw the hair, let it be in a little mess, as if it is blowing in the wind.
Draw the woman's face, detail her dress. Add shadows with hatching. Erase the guide lines.

How to draw a woman's hands in clothes with a pencil?
Women's hands are especially hard to draw. They need to be smooth and graceful, with long thin fingers.
IMPORTANT: If you depict a woman in clothes, it will be easier for you - you will only have to draw the hands and parts of the forearms. You will hide the rest under the sleeves of your clothes.
Try to depict the woman's hands in several positions at once.
- Schematically outline the brushes in the form of ovals, and the forearms in the form of straight lines.
- Starting from the ovals, draw the fingers. Remember that a woman's middle finger is the longest.
Detail the contours of the hands. No straight lines! - Draw the nail plates and skin folds in the areas of articulation of the phalanges.
- Delete guide lines.
- Make shadows with very jerky shading, they should not be too dark.
- If you are drawing a woman's hands back to front, pay special attention to the fingertips. They may be rounded or slightly elongated. With a sharp pencil draw the nails, with thicker lines draw the folds of the skin in the areas of articulation of the phalanges of the fingers.
- By the same principle, draw female hands in other positions.

The legs of a woman are also more rounded than those of a man. To draw them:
- depict her hips in the form of a triangle lying on the base
- draw dots at the corners of the triangle - a schematic representation of the hip joints
- from these points start straight lines, the axes of the legs (they should not be parallel, make them approach a little at the bottom)
- divide the lines roughly in half, draw dots to mark the kneecaps
- outline the contours of the legs, remembering that the woman's thighs are denser than the shins
- draw the kneecaps
- mark the feet in the form of trapezoids and large bases at the bottom (if the feet are turned straight)
- detail the feet and draw the toes
How to draw a man a woman in clothes in motion with a pencil?
When you have practiced a bit and feel more confident, start drawing a female figure in clothes in a static pose or in motion.
In the first picture, the woman in the dress will be standing.
- Draw an oval for the head. Divide the oval into uneven left and right halves with a vertical line to define the center of the face. Separate the oval in the upper and lower halves with a horizontal line to keep the proportions of the face. Draw a horizontal line for the hairline. Divide the area below this into three equal parts. The first line below the hairline is for the eyebrows, and the next line shows the position of the tip of the nose. The ears will be located on either side of the head between the eyebrows and nose.
- Draw two small ovals - sketches of the ears. With curved lines above and below the ears, outline the hairstyle. Add ovals - hat sketch. Extend curved lines below the hat for the neck and shoulders. Draw straight lines for the bodice. Use short, smooth lines to form the chin, right elbow, wrist, and ankles. Draw curved and wavy lines to outline the skirt.
- Draw hair with hatching. Add a slightly curved line below the edge of the hat. Outline the ears, eyes, mouth. Draw a V-shape for the neckline. Draw the straps of the sundress with straight lines. Detail the sundress - draw the bodice and pleats on the skirt. Draw the woman's legs and shoes on them. Draw bracelets on one or both hands of the woman.
- Draw the eyes, mouth and nose. Detail the dress, add shadows. Erase the guide lines.

- Draw a straight line, divide it into 8 equal segments - it's easier to keep the proportions of the body. The head will be equal to the length of one of these segments.
- Draw an oval for the head, make markings on it for the correct location of the eyes, nose and mouth.
- Draw the frame of the female body with straight lines, triangles and circles. Give him the desired pose.
- With smooth lines draw the contours of the woman's body.

It will not be difficult for many novice artists to draw flowers, trees, houses. But when it comes time to depict people on paper, they get lost. Because they don't know how to draw a human body correctly. If you don't succeed either, don't even think about giving up. Thanks to several techniques, you can quickly learn this.
They are quite simple. At the same time, these useful tips will help you cope with the necessary task:
- Even if you don't plan to turn your sketches into color illustrations, still use a pencil at the very beginning. He will allow you to correct the drawing at any time.
- Don't push hard. Do all movements only with light strokes. If you make a mistake or want to redraw an element of the picture, you do not have to suffer by erasing thick lines with an elastic band.
- Practice every day. Don't be discouraged if you don't know how to draw a body. Believe in yourself!
- Watch your posture. You cannot give all your attention to the drawing by sitting incorrectly.
- If you're serious about art, study other people's techniques, go to art galleries, buy themed books. Experienced artists are well acquainted with how to draw the human body.
- If you are copying from an already finished drawing, do not be afraid to make mistakes. Remember that you don't have to portray the exact same character. It will be much better if it turns out differently.
body proportions
At all times, special attention was paid to the relationship between the figures. Before drawing the body, you need to know its correct proportions. The height of the figure of an adult is 8 of his heads, of a teenager - 7. This part of the student's body can be positioned 5 times in length, the baby - 4. The size of the arms should reach the middle of the thigh, while the elbows should be on the same level with the waist, and the knees should be exactly in the middle of the leg. The length of the legs is 4 heads, and the head, together with the body, is half the height of the entire figure. The fingers of the lowered hand are located in the region of the middle of the thigh. The height of the foot is the size of the nose. And its length is the same as that of the forearm. The height of the female head is equal to the distance between the prominent points of the chest, the male - half the width of the shoulders.
Differences between male and female parameters
The average height of a man is about 170 cm, women - 160. The arms of a strong half of humanity are long and muscular, when the hands of girls are a little shorter. But the legs of women are longer (in relation to the body). Men have a strong physique, broad shoulders and a short torso. The female body is longer, the shoulders are often shorter than the hips. Men have a thick neck, girls - on the contrary, thin. As for the muscles, in men it is strongly marked. At the same time, the contours of the body are sharp. At the same time, in women, the outlines are soft, the shapes are round, the fat layer is larger. The male foot is massive, large, the female foot is much smaller in size.
We draw a man
The following master class shows how to draw a man's body:
- Start at the top. Draw a small circle, draw a curved line from below. You should get the shape of an egg, only turned upside down.
- Draw the neck by sketching two straight lines. As a guide, take the distance from ear to ear.
- Draw a long (2-3 head width) horizontal line so that it is perpendicular to the neck. It determines the location of the collarbones.
- At the end of the two lines, draw small circles of the same size - these are the shoulders. Sketch two ovals a little lower, slightly longer than the height of the head - these are the biceps.
- In the place where the biceps begin, outline the body of the body. Geometrically, it will look like this: an inverted trapezoid is the chest, vertical straight lines are the torso, an inverted triangle is the pelvis. Mark the place above the last geometric figure with a dot - there will be a navel.
- On both sides of the triangle, draw two circles (most of them should be outside), and immediately below them - long ovals. They will be hips.
- Below are two small ovals for the knees. Let it intertwine a little with the hips. And even lower - for the shins.
- For the legs, draw two triangles, at the very bottom.
- Try to draw show jumping of the body, add details, come up with clothes for your character.
We draw a woman
Now that you know the basics and have learned how to work with the male silhouette, you can learn how to draw the female body:
- Start with the most important thing - draw a vertical line. To represent the torso, place an inverted triangle at the top of the torso.
- Inside the resulting triangle, draw another one looking up. Draw two circles at the corners of the inner figure to represent the breasts. If you did everything right, the first one should be on the right and the other on the left of the line drawn earlier.
- Just below the main triangle, draw a circle of equal size. Its upper part should go slightly beyond the triangle. This will be the pelvis.
- To draw the hips and legs, draw two curved lines from the top of the circle. And below - two more, but shorter. Some should look like brackets.
- Add lines and details, dress up the girl.
Done, now you know how to draw a girl's body.
Summing up
Using the techniques presented above, you can draw almost any person - an adult man and woman, a teenager, a child. The main thing to do is follow the instructions, learn how to work according to the scheme. After a while, you yourself, without anyone's help, will draw beautiful and proportionately correct characters on paper. Don't get discouraged if something doesn't work out for you. You can try again at any time.
Remember another important rule: the artist's work does not end at the moment when he understands how to draw the body. It is also necessary to think over the hairstyle of the character, his style, give him emotions, portray the character. In other words, with the help of a pencil, “breathe” life into it. Learn the art of drawing, improve your skills - and you will definitely succeed!
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 to build 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 conventionally divided into 8 equal parts, this takes into account the fact that a woman has one vertebra more 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.
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 totality 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 nature. 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.
