If you want to draw a female body, but do not know where to start, then try to draw with this tutorial step by step.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Front and Side Views

1. 1 Draw a skeleton of a human figure. It is highly recommended that you learn about human anatomy and proportion if you want to draw more realistic.
2. 2 Draw body shapes to give volume to the human figure.
3. 3 Sketch the individual parts of the human figure using the body shapes as a guide.
4. 4 Draw an outline above the sketch to complete the drawing.
5. 5 Erase and delete the sketched lines.
6. 6 Add a background in the picture.
7. 7 Add shading if needed.

Method 2 of 2: Drawing from the perspective

1. 1 Angle is the property of a 3D object to appear smaller than its actual size, depending on the position of the viewer. (For example, the image shows how the cylinder looks from the side and how it looks when you change the angle. It also takes on a round shape when viewed from above).
2. 2 Draw a skeleton of a human figure. Notice the left arm and right leg are offset to the left and upward and appear shorter as they are closer to the viewer.
3. 3 Draw body shapes to give volume to the human figure. The same foreshortening principle applies to the arm and leg as we use a cylinder to construct them.
4. 4 Sketch the detail of the human figure using the body shapes as a guide.
5. 5 Draw an outline above the sketch to complete the drawing.
6. 6 Erase and delete the sketched lines.
7. 7 Add a base color in the picture.
8. 8 Add shading if needed.

Tips

• The more you practice, the better drawing you will get!
• Make some indents beforehand and make sure all of your proportions are correct before diving into the details. You don't want to end up breaking your eyes when you realize that one part is higher than the other.
• To check if the proportions are correct, look at the image upside down. This is great advice for anyone looking for precision.
• Look in the mirror at the pose you are drawing, always check the proportionality of the limbs with the body parts.
• Compare body parts to other body parts. A finger or pencil can be used as a guide. Just look at the picture a little from a distance with one eye and determine if the elements are correctly spaced.
• When drawing a female body, remember that a woman has smaller shoulders than a man. It is a common mistake for beginners to draw women larger and heavier along with drawing them too small. Look at the proportions you are drawing to make sure you are in anatomical proportions.
