From nature you draw or from an image - it doesn't matter. It is important to understand what you want to achieve as a result. You can draw a seated girl using various tools and techniques. Each person is unique, but at the initial stage, more attention should be paid to common features, the understanding of which forms the basis of a high-quality drawing.
It is necessary
- - pencil;
- - drawing paper;
- - tracing paper;
- - eraser;
- - images for practice;
- - anatomy textbook.
Instructions
Step 1
The unit of measurement of the human body when drawing is "head length". Determine how tall the girl you are drawing will be. This is necessary so that there are no distortions in the proportions of the seated silhouette. Start painting from top to bottom. The proportions of 1: 8 or 1: 9 are considered ideal for a woman of our time.
Step 2
Start by drawing a simplified shape. Examine the images of seated girls in different positions. Choose the one you like. Imagine how the drawing will look schematically. If the girl is sitting facing you, then two trapezoids are used for a schematic representation of the figure. For drawing the torso from the side - two ovals.
Step 3
The line connecting the trapeziums or ovals is part of the spine. The upper oval is always larger than the lower one. Select the back of the head while drawing the seated girl from the side.
Step 4
To draw a shape well, study its internal structure. Remember a few useful things with the letter combination "TUM". “T” - humerus and spine. This is a very important place for a figure artist. When viewed from the front, these bones intersect, the spine is behind the shoulder girdle at a distance of several centimeters. The "U" upside down (like a horseshoe) represents the chest area. “M” is the hip area. The central part (V in M) is the area under the pelvic bones. The outermost M lines are the outer thighs.
Step 5
When sketching, draw with light pencil strokes. Remember that if the mass is displaced to either side, then changes in the body will necessarily occur in this direction.
Step 6
There are several styles of drawing the figure of a seated girl. The drawing can be made with clear lines of various thicknesses, made on top of light auxiliary strokes, indicating the places and positions of various parts of the body. For example, with the body position of a girl sitting with her legs tucked under her, determine which geometric figure it fits into (rectangle, triangle, trapezoid).
Step 7
Use the multiple line method to find the correct positioning of body parts. Try to hold the pencil loosely, draw with light and relaxed lines.
Step 8
Using the single line method, you can complete the first step of drawing the figure of a seated girl. After completing the contour, outline with light strokes the areas where the light falls. Apply the shadow image, trying to keep each area in its proper shape.
Step 9
In accordance with the location of the girl's body, complete the clothes on her, correctly drawing folds and shadows. In the pencil drawing, hatch the desired areas with sketchy parallel lines. Remember that there are areas in the figure of a seated girl where wrinkles are always present. This is the place of the armpits, from the chest to the waist line, the folds of the elbows and knees, as well as folds caused by external influences (for example, leaning on a chair or table, etc.).
Step 10
To more clearly imagine the position of the body of a seated girl, use the method of copying ready-made images. For example, using tracing paper or simply running your hand with a pencil along the contours of the depicted figure.
