How girls are drawn. How to draw a girl with a pencil step by step for beginners

First of all, before you start to be indignant like “oh my God, he himself can’t draw anything sensible, but he teaches others!”, I want to declare: I admit that I am not a professional, and I do not dictate the rules of drawing to you: 'D I will just share with you the way I-draw-women.

1. Draw a circle. It doesn't have to be perfect.

2. Draw a "cross" on it: D Remember, the middle line is at eye level.

3. Mark a place for the ears just below the line of the eyes. Also, keep in mind that the longer you draw the character's chin, the older it will look.

NOTE: Excellence is achieved through practice. In addition, after some time of practice, you will not need these lines, you will already be able to draw a face without them.

4. Draw the face. Pay attention to the location of the eyes, mouth and nose. But, again, it doesn't have to be perfect. This is just a sketch for now.

5. Now, mark the point from which the hair will depart. You don't have to draw the arrows if you don't want to. With their help, I just show the direction of the hair. The hair growth point can be positioned on the side or a little further to the back of the head. It all depends on the hairstyle you choose and the type of hair.

6. Draw the hair. Don't take mine as an example. I know they're just awful >_>

7. Draw the shape of the neck. I like it when it's long.

8. But the neck is not so straight, you need to connect it with the shoulders and draw a throat. The clearer these lines are, the older our heroine will look.

9. As for the shoulders, there are, in fact, no clear rules. But you need to consider that they express the character of the character. The higher the shoulders, the more tense the girl will seem, and vice versa, the lower the shoulders, the more relaxed and feminine they look. Remember, it's rare for women to have very broad shoulders...unless they're swimmers.

10. Add details on the shoulders.

11. When you draw the torso of a woman, you can imagine it as an inverted triangle. Don't forget that it connects to the shoulders. Also, keep in mind that the wider the shoulders / torso (the base of the triangle) of the heroine, the more curvaceous and more mature she will look.

12. Draw a cross on the torso to help you navigate where it bends, etc. This is a small but very helpful detail.

13. TITS! *cough* So. If your heroine is an adult girl, this does not mean that she should have balloons instead of breasts. EVEN if you draw in anime style, the chest should never look like balls pointing forward.

With the help of crosses, mark the position of the nipples, which should be directed slightly to the side. Remember, the larger the breast, the heavier it is, therefore, both the breast itself and the nipples on it should be lower. But, if the chest is small, then it should be high, and the nipples should be directed forward.

14. Add details of the chest. Remember, they connect to her shoulders/arms.

15. When you draw her hips, imagine them in the form of a triangle, like the torso, only in the opposite direction and a little smaller. Also, the wider the hips, the more magnificent the forms of the heroine will be, and the older she will look.

16. Ribs. Here, try not to spoil her entire figure and waist in particular.

17. Draw her waist and tummy. Remember what I said? The smoother, sinuous lines, the more feminine the image will turn out.

18. When you draw the crotch, imagine that she is wearing panties. Don't just draw a "V" or "/" shaped shape (well, you know what I mean), because when you start drawing clothes on top of that, it will look ridiculous.

19. Draw guides for the legs. They should be in harmony with the direction of the chest and torso.

20. Draw the hips for now with straight lines. Many stop there. But you have to admit, it looks terrible. Remember, when drawing female figures, try to avoid any straight lines.

Today we will learn how to draw a girl step by step with a pencil.

The picture is not easy, beginners will need to make every effort. But, following this master class step by step, there should not be any problems with the image.

We will do the drawing with a pencil, which will allow us to correct any flaws without any problems. It is important, before you draw a girl in full growth, to remember the perspective and center lines.

Stages of creating a drawing of a girl in full growth

For convenience, the master class is divided into understandable steps. Following the tips, you will get a great drawing.

Step 1 Construction lines

When drawing construction lines, you can rely on people standing nearby, or, as in our example, decor elements.

In classical art theory there is a rule of "seven heads". It means that the body is related to the head in a ratio of 7:1 and consists, with an ideal structure, of 7 dimensions of its head.

You need to know how to draw a person, a girl in our case. Consider the design features of the female body and its differences from the male:

the width of the hip joint;

the structure of the shoulder girdle and sternum;

graceful lines of arms and legs;

thin wrists and ankles;

arch of the back, especially in the lumbar region.

Today we are drawing a girl from the back. This affects the depth and direction of the curvature of the spine. Hands can be used as an additional supporting element.

With a pencil, easily and accurately, we begin to draw:

figure parameters;

head tilt;

body proportions.

We draw with light, fuzzy lines. So far, our picture is similar to a nursery rhyme: "stick, stick, cucumber - it turned out to be a little man."

Step 2. Create volume

Now we will endow our frame with volume. It is worth dividing this step into small steps:

on the places of the bends of the arms and legs, on the joints, draw circles. They will help create proportional limbs. The circles should not be large, as we depict an elegant and beautiful girl. If we go too far at this stage, we can get not a dancer, but a bodybuilder;

we outline the line of the neck and collarbones;

now, on the yet invisible supporting part, draw the outlines of the palm;

the outlines of the chest should only peek out a little just below the right shoulder;

the girl's legs are crossed. With smooth lines, outline the outlines of the muscles of the legs. We look at the girl from below, so we lengthen her legs a little;

the final stage of the second step is the feet.

Don't worry if it doesn't work the first time. The beauty of the pencil is that all mistakes can be carefully corrected.

Step 3 Railing - fulcrum

The easiest but most important step. We draw the railing on which she leans in the dance. All lines on the legs, hands and palms that the railing crosses must be removed.

Step 4. Draw a hairstyle

Now a very important detail - hair. The model has her hair in a loose bun. Her hair was disheveled and fell around her neck. Drawing a hairstyle is a very painstaking task, but with due diligence, it can be done perfectly. To make it easier for you, below is an enlarged image of the model's hair. In the hair, we indicate the shape of the ear.

Step 5. Dressing the top of the model

The hardest part of the work is over. The girl's hair and body are ready. Now we critically evaluate the result. Where necessary we wipe or finish.

Drawing a T-shirt on thin straps, we direct the lines of the shoulders, the interscapular region and the spine. On the T-shirt, do not forget about the folds of the fabric. They will give a more realistic look.

Step 6. Draw visible lines

We direct with a clear line all visible parts of the body and railings. Here are the little things in order:

draw the wrist and hand of the right hand, draw a line of knuckles and fingers;

we direct the line of the left hand and the outline of the elbow;

make the shirt more embossed. We outline all the folds and bends of clothing.

Step 7: Draw the Bottom of the Clothes

The shorts on the girl are short and follow the shape of her body. Drawing them is not difficult. We apply folds on the clothes, which should be on the lower back, between the buttocks and on the sides of the thighs. We supplement the shorts with a belt, they should not fit snugly to the legs. Thus, we will show the structure of their material. We complete the line of the spine.

Step 8 Draw the Feet and Leggings

We create clear lines of the legs. Let's move on to training socks. Leggings are much bulkier than the lower leg and have large horizontal pleats.

Step 9 Finishing touches

Our work is coming to an end. Putting the finishing touches on. Create the texture of the gaiter material and the shape of the railing.

The final look of the drawing should be similar to the picture below.

You can learn in more detail how to draw a girl in full growth by watching the video master class.

Human drawing lesson. In this lesson we will look at how to draw a full-length full-length woman with a pencil in stages. First I want to note that for everyone the degree of fullness of the body is different, someone thinks that one type of figure is thin, the other thinks that the same type is fat. For me, the girl in the picture below is plump, but by no means fat, she is very pleasant and her figure is very beautiful. Who does not think so, please keep your opinion to yourself, that's why it is an opinion, to be different.

As usual, we first build a skeleton, but before that we need to draw a wall behind, a plane, in order to understand how it is in space, perspective. I don’t know how you are used to drawing the head, you can just use an oval with guides, you can use a circle, then draw a line in the middle of the head, mark where the chin will be, draw a line for the eyes, the shape of the face and the location of the ear. Then we try with the help of lines to convey the pose in which the girl is standing. One hand rests against the wall, the other is simply leaning against the wall, the body is tilted.

Now with simple forms we show the body of a woman.

Let's first draw the face, how it is positioned in relation to the body and what size. Fat people have cheeks, like children and toddlers, so the shape of the face is more rounded. If you do not know how to draw eyes, lips, then you should practice doing this separately. Many lessons of different variations can be found in the section "". The girl's forehead is quite high. Then sketch out part of the hair and neck.

In thin people, the fat layer is very small, and in full people, the fat layer is especially visible on the stomach, hips, chest, and legs and arms become thicker. Therefore, when the torso is tilted, such a fold appears. We make the previous lines slightly visible, this can be achieved with an eraser (eraser). We make a sketch of the lines of the body, later you can change them in order to convey the shape more correctly.

We draw shoulders and hands, then a bathing suit and hair. We achieve the correctness of the forms, often looking at the original, constantly correcting inaccuracies, comparing proportions. Where the elastic presses, in this part the body shrinks a little, and what is higher protrudes a little. Don't forget about it.

We erase all unnecessary lines, again we check with the original, we correct if something is wrong and you can apply a little shadow to add volume and the drawing of a full woman is ready.


In this tutorial I will show you how to draw a girl in full growth beautifully.

I will show two stages at once in one picture, and you will need to repeat after me.

To begin with, let's mark out an approximate “skeleton”, so that later it would be convenient for us to draw, and we would not get confused in proportions. First of all, draw a rough outline of the head in the form of a circle, to which draw the lower part. He is the middle of the "head" draw the line of the neck, from it - the line of the shoulders. We mark the shoulder joints with circles.

We have drawn an approximate skeleton, you can proceed to the next stage of construction.

  • The neck is in the shape of a cylinder.
  • The body is oval, elongated.
  • Draw small circles for the shoulders and elbows. We connect these circles with long cylinders.
  • Next draw the pelvis.
  • In the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe knees, you also need to draw circles. Pay attention to the shape of the hips and calves.

Thus, you should be able to draw a girl in full growth.
