hello everyone and welcome back to my channel I'm brushes and bunnies and in
this video tutorial we're going to be tackling how to draw human bodies more
specifically female bodies although this video tutorial is for female bodies the
basic proportions and basic anatomy that you will learn in this video can also be
applied for drawing male bodies of course I'll be doing a separate video
tutorial for how to draw male bodies in the near future so of course if you're
interested in that do subscribe to this channel and also ring the little
notification bell and you'll be notified for my next upload when it comes to
drawing bodies there are so many tips out there there are so many tutorials
out there and also techniques that can help you as a beginner to learn how to
draw a body whether it's female or male I'll probably be doing a separate video
about this just outlining some of these techniques that you can do but in terms
of the technique that has helped me to learn how to draw or to understand the
basic shapes and the way that you place things for a body I will be showing you
this in or I'll be showing you this technique in this video
just like what I did for learning how to draw faces
I drew a very basic guide in my sketchbook and I would draw this guide a
little bit at the beginning maybe in multiple sketchbooks just so I could
refer back to it in the future when I was drawing the face for this example I
am drawing a guide to show where the basic areas of the body start for
example we have maybe a body that will be a heads tall and depending on the
size of the head that you draw you can then further kind of proportion it based
on the height of the head so in this case we have 10 heads down or sorry
eight heads down and from there on you can draw guidelines that's separate the
heads and here between these guidelines you can then further separate it based
on where the shoulders will appear where the elbows and waist will appear where
the knees will appear a lot of this just really helps to kind of figure out where
certain things start and where certain things end for example some key markers
that I have drawn that have really helped me is to just fill in where the
shoulders the elbows and waist the hips or the hip and pelvic bone area the
knees and the ankles will appear within this 8 head structure
if we take a look at this guide we can see where certain things will be for
example the shoulders will appear in the second head section about 1/3 of the way
down the elbows and waist will appear in the third head section directly above
the line that separates the third and the fourth head the hips and the pelvic
area will be entirely covered by the fourth head just like the elbows and
waist the knees will appear directly above the sixth and the seventh head
guideline and the ankles will of course be in the very last head placement near
the bottom part of the head may be at a halfway point drawing this basic
proportion guideline in your sketch book is definitely super helpful and it's a
great exercise and technique to do if you are wanting to learn how to draw
bodies of course this is just the basic guidelines things can change depending
on your style and of course depending on the character height maybe it will be
five heads short or I don't know even taller it again depends but this is just
the essential building blocks to building a body
another exercise that's really great to do is to go one step further so
essentially just draw the same thing that you just did on the left hand side
that you see here in the sketchbook draw it again and this time we add a little
bit of more structure to it and we actually draw the body shape and we use
just basic geometry and basic shapes to build something that looks kind of like
a human body but you can also use it as a sort of representation or a guide for
the future when you're drawing other actual bodies so just to kind of Risa
mirai's the little exercise I am drawing the shape of the head and depending on
that size of the head or the height of the head I will then replicate eight
heads down I will do the same head over and over in this case if you want to get
an accurate measurement you can of course use your ruler or use your
fingers or use something that will help measure but for this sort of exercise
that I'm doing now I'm just winging it and just kind of guessing you know the
the appropriate size so there's gonna be a little bit inaccurate here but once
you do it more you will get better and you will understand the correct
measurements
the next thing that I do in this exercise is to typically sort of work
with the guidelines that I already established on the left-hand side here
so for example where the shoulders will appear or the waist and the elbows and I
start to build my character in terms of just you know quickly building something
I will just do very vague shapes that sort of resemble a human torso for
example and I'll start just using triangles and squares and circles and
just build my character and try to build the general anatomy based on the
guidelines that I've already established for the different parts of the human
body there will be different measurements as well for example the
shoulders should be at least three heads three heads wide the pelvic area should
be two heads wide for example there are different things and perhaps I think
I'll have to do it another video about this showing the actual exact
measurements for everything for both female and male but for this video the
purpose is just to kind of take a look at the basic structure and what you know
technique I have been using to build body shapes yeah if you're curious about
this also if you're curious to get the exact measurements you can find all
these great tutorials online I will link a few down below in my video description
so if you're interested you can take a look at what has been helping me figure
out how to proportional eyes things and you know how big a leg should be how
wide shoulders should be as a general basic guide and of course a lot of this
is subjective in terms of it being different for each character you draw
but this is sort of the essential basics that you will need to be aware of the
next piece of the puzzle is to understand movement now for this video
tutorial I should have kind of went into a little
bit more detail in terms of what this meant but when I was recording I was
just doing something very quick and I just wanted to show you guys the thought
process of what I think about before I start to draw the body so not only do I
think about the general guidelines in terms of where the shoulders go and how
high they should be and where should certain body things should appear but I
also consider the movement of the body so how do I want my character to stand
and in what way could something may be curved a little bit
year to the side to the right side or maybe the pelvic bone is shifted a
little bit where she's standing on an angle so these are the types of things
that you can add to your character when you're drawing to give it a little bit
more I don't know personality and
characteristic and of course make it a little bit more realistic in that
regards so movement is definitely something you should be aware of and a
lot of the movement does come from the center of the body so where the torso is
and where the pelvic bone is and you can do this by just sort of quickly fleshing
out how it will appear with just very basic lines
after doing a few practice runs in your sketchbook whether you created some
guides or you just did some very quick drawings in terms of movement or
proportions definitely go ahead and put all of that work into practice and
actually sketch some bodies so for this video tutorial I actually did four
different types of bodies I'll just be fast-forwarding in a little bit so you
can see all of them while I'm still talking a little bit and there's
something but I actually wanted to give us a little bit of a trick so when
you're learning kind of draw body is something that I do use are of course
reference photos I go on Pinterest and or deviantART and I searched for I don't
know just I don't typically search for anything as much anywhere because a lot
of the things do appear in my recommendations already in my feet so I
do have a lot of inspiration already there for me but in this case you can
just search for um I don't know just females I guess or male I don't know if
you want to search for models you can do so there's all kinds of really great
resources out there to use so I do look for a photo and I do try to find
different body shapes and different unique things that could be fun to draw
so for example I will draw perhaps a curvier woman or I will draw someone who
is a bit more on the thin side like a supermodel for example just to try to
draw the different muscles and try to draw the different textures and the
curves and yeah it really does help to to to learn that way is to draw
different body shapes once I find a reference photo that I want to draw I
then analyze it based on the kind of proportions and the guidelines that I've
already worked on or that I practice beforehand so how tall is the models
head and basically I break down the body based on that measurement and this
really does help to see where certain things will be especially if the model
is sitting in a funny position maybe you're not used to drawing it could be a
little bit challenging maybe something like the knees are like she's sitting on
her knees for example how long should you draw the leg and if you can't really
see it as well there's all kinds of different examples where there are more
fans positions and this might be a bit tricky especially if you're a beginner
so just really an analyzing the reference photo that you have first is
super super helpful just to kind of break down the different parts of the
body before you get to actually sketching it
another thing that I would like to point out apart from the basic proportions and
also the movement and sort of the the position of the character is to also
recognize the curviness of a woman especially if you're drawing a woman now
of course different bodies there are different bodies out there different
women have different bodies and it's also something that you should recognize
in your drawings of course rather than just draw the same body over and over
again because it not only helps you try to draw different things but it's also
really really fun to do different shapes and thicknesses but one thing that will
differentiate between a female in a male body is of course the hardness of the
Lions so what I mean by that is with the female body things are just naturally
more curvy there are more round shapes things are
yeahjust curvier no matter of sort of like whether it's the arm or the hips or
the chest or even the face it's just more it's less angular more curvy whilst
the males could be a little bit more muscular or yeah again it really depends
on the body shape but this is something that you can definitely play around with
and have a lot of fun when you're drawing your characters is to just
remember to curve those lines and make them not so rigid and just kind of go
with a really nice flow in a way when you're drawing a female
to summarize this video tutorial I would recommend that you take these following
steps the first thing would be to of course practice those basic proportions
build a general basic guideline in your sketch books that you can refer back to
in terms of the body and where certain things will appear and how it will
appear based on the head shape this technique has helped me so much as you
can see I am drawing bodies without so much of not that much of an effort in
terms of it being so hard it's actually not that hard once you understand how
things can be broken down there are so many guides out there I will of course
again link them down below in the video description it will help you take a look
it has helped me for sure and I hope that this basic video of just kind of
understanding how things can be started off or how things can work will also
help you so definitely practice practice in your sketchbook apply your guidelines
to actual practice and just sketch away just draw all kinds of things all kinds
of bodies different positions different characters and yeah just have some fun
doing it it's really not that challenging or not that impossible
that being said I will be doing some more video tutorials like I said tips
and tricks for drawing bodies things that you can do before to prepare
yourself especially if you're a beginner and also additional video tutorials on
how to draw male bodies or how to draw the actual legit proportions for example
how wide is how wide should the shoulders be what to do if your
character is a bit shorter or a bit taller so these are the things that I
will hopefully be tackling very soon I want to wish you all a wonderful Sunday
and I hope you're having a great weekend keep drawing never give up keep being
awesome and we will see each other next weekend bye
