Step 1
The easiest way is to refine the silhouettes obtained with a digital camera. Invite your friends to act as models. It is desirable that their clothes have a minimum amount of details that stand out against the background of the overall silhouette - this will facilitate subsequent processing. Shoot in bursts - this is the easiest way to choose the best shots. Copy the resulting photos to your PC hard drive.
Step 2
Open the photo with Photoshop editor. Use the Pen Tool to trace the entire silhouette. Stroke 1-2 pixels inward from the edge to be sure not to capture a piece of the background. After that, double-click the path with the mouse, or save it using the Path - Save Path command. After that click on Paths - Make Selection in the side menu. Adjust the smoothness of the edges of the image using Menu - Select - Modify - Feather, setting the value for the submenu 0, 2. Press Ctrl + J. Export the blank to an illustrator, then add a hairstyle, clothing items, items if necessary and paint over the silhouette with the color you need.
Step 3
To draw a static silhouette of a person on paper, first sketch out the main body parts - the torso in the form of an inverted triangle and the head. After that, draw the pelvis with a small triangle, and the arms and legs with oblong ovals. Add detail to the silhouette, starting with the torso - outline the body line, then move on to the arms, following the line of the workpiece. When finished drawing the outer border, erase the inner lines.
Step 4
When depicting people performing an action or being in motion, first determine the position of their body. Draw two lines for the left and right parts of the visible silhouette, then sketch out the moving parts of the body - arms and legs with light strokes. Next, paint in the details of the silhouette and erase the inner lines.
