The ability to draw is attributed either to a gift or to careful and painstaking work, during which the acquired skills are honed to perfection. And you can learn to draw absolutely any object, and the human body is no exception.
Instructions
Step 1
Before starting drawing lessons, depict a human figure. You can ask someone to pose or recreate a picture based on images from memory. Try to bring the result to perfection, but do not ask anyone for advice. Save the resulting image as a rarity and come back to it from time to time to assess the level of skill that you will master after intense training. This approach will serve as the most powerful motivating tool and create the prerequisites for comprehending the basics of fine art.
Step 2
Expand the boundaries of your knowledge of the human body, both anatomically and in terms of drawing. As a teaching aid, you can use books, videos, live communication with the teacher. But you should not delve into the structure of internal organs, since this will not in any way affect visual skills, it is enough to get general information about muscles, joints, proportions between individual parts of the body.
Step 3
Choose one of the possible training options. Self-education in most cases gives good results, but if there is time and free funds, then it is better to sign up for appropriate courses or use the services of a tutor, especially at the initial stage.
Step 4
Don't expect that after a week of training, you will be able to immediately catch the characteristics of each individual person. You can get closer to the ideal only with the help of one and only method - the method of persistent training.
Step 5
Start mastering the drawing of the human body from its individual parts: hands, feet, joints. Then gradually complicate the task - hone the skills of depicting the bust, lower body, back side. Only after that, go to solid images.
Step 6
First draw simple figures of people, then you can switch to the image of a person in motion. Children are the most difficult in terms of drawing, they have slightly different body proportions than adults.
Step 7
Always look closely at the people around you, find regularity and symmetry in their posture, try to present it on a piece of paper. Such training can be carried out anywhere - public transport, at work, while waiting in line. Observation, memory, attention can lead you to success in a very short time.
