In this lesson, we will look at how to draw a full-length girl in pencil in stages. Our girl is athletic with dumbbells in her hand and in sportswear.
To draw a girl in full growth, you first need to build a skeleton, a pose in which she stands. At this stage, the correct proportions are built in relation to different parts of the body. First we draw a small head, I drew a circle, then the guides, the face and the ear. You can draw an oval and guides, as in the tutorial,. Then we draw with straight lines the body parts, neck, spine, arms, legs, hands and feet. Now with simple shapes we show parts of the body and joints, in particular the direction of the chest and pelvis. After that, we work out the lines of the girl's body in more detail. At the same time, making the previous lines barely visible.
Erase the drawn lines so that they are slightly visible and start drawing the face. First draw the nose, then the shape of the eyes, eyebrows.
We draw the shape of the face, lips, refine the eyes, draw the hair. To get a face, you must first practice drawing individual parts of the face:

Draw the top, arms, fingers, pants, sneakers and leggings. Apply shadows and the drawing of the sporty girl is ready.
For some reason, everyone who is suddenly overwhelmed by the thirst for drawing begins to carry out their plans precisely from the image of a girl. Drawing is often far from perfect, and all because a person is barely familiar not only with anatomy, but also with the principles of constructing the human body and face. Meanwhile, this knowledge is very important, especially for a novice artist.
But in this article I will not delve into the anatomical details, but I will tell you about the most important methods of constructing proportional Drawn ladies can excite the imagination no less than living ones, so at this stage you only need a blank sheet of paper, a simple and soft eraser.
Before you need to schematically outline its proportions. For ease of understanding, let's take a straight-standing figure as an example. So, to begin with, draw a kind of "skeleton" or "frame": having drawn the head in the form of an ellipse, draw a vertical line from the center of its "chin". It will serve as a guideline for building. In order for the figure to be proportional, you need to know that the head of an adult "fits" seven times in the body. Therefore, before full growth, you must first note the height of the head. This is done simply: attach a pencil to the drawing so that the edge of its lead is flush with the crown of the head, and your fingers are flush with the future chin.
Having thus fixed the height of the head, divide the downward line into seven equal segments. Now in more detail about the resulting "scale": at the level of the first segment should be the chest, at the level of the second - the waist, the third - the lower thighs, the fourth and fifth - legs to the knees, the sixth and seventh - legs below the knees to the bone on the ankle. An additional segment is required for the image of the foot, half the length of the main one.
Having received such a scheme, we proceed to the next stage of solving the problem of how to draw a girl. Now we need to outline the limbs. To do this, stepping back from the head a little downward, outline it with a horizontal line. Mark the waist and hips with the exact same segments. Since we are drawing a girl, it will be absolutely natural if the shoulder line is wider than the waist line, but narrower than the hip line. From the schematic shoulder girdle, draw the lines of the future arms: the elbows should be at the level between the third and fourth segments, the fingertips should be at the level between the fourth and fifth. The beginning of the legs should fall directly on the fourth segment.
When the "frame" is ready, you can start "building up the meat", that is, drawing a full-fledged body. The "skeleton" will serve as a guide so that both halves of the body are the same width. Of course, when drawing, you need to take into account that both the arms and the legs, and the whole body, has a certain shape, and the face and head also require a separate construction. But this is already a topic for another article. I hope that the above description of how to draw a girl, together with the pictures given for a better perception, will help you quickly navigate, and in the future you will be able to create more complex images of people. By "filling" your hand and developing an eye, you will become more confident in your abilities, which will allow you to depict the human body without having to draw a preliminary "wireframe" sketch.
Women and men have dramatic differences in body structure. But, in the modern world, some women look like men, because of their clothes and hairstyles. However, no matter how a woman tries to be like a man, we can still recognize her. The main distinguishing feature is the structure of a woman's body - these are wide hips and narrower shoulders (in men, exactly the opposite indicators). At drawing woman in full growth it is worth starting from this basic rule, and the rest of the secrets of construction can be learned from this step-by-step lesson.
Materials and tools:
- White sheet of paper.
- A simple pencil.
- Eraser.
Stages of work:
Photo 1. First you need to draw a vertical centerline with a simple pencil. Leave serifs at the edges of the line. They will determine the total body height that cannot be exceeded:
Photo 2. Divide the segment in half. Thus, the line is divided into two parts, along which we will later build the body. Next, divide the upper segment in half again, and measure another half from the resulting upper segment. The uppermost segment is the height of the woman's head:
Photo 3. Now you need to outline the location of the shoulders. The shoulder line will be under the head, namely under the second (top) notch. Let's step back slightly from the head, leaving a little room for the neck. Draw the line of the shoulders at an angle, because the woman will be standing slightly bent over:
Photo 4. Next, we need to find out where the waist and knees are. To do this, you need to divide the centerline into three parts. To do this easily, divide the lower half of the centerline in half, but the knee line will be slightly higher. We measure its height and transfer it to the centerline three times, leaving serifs. As a result, you should get three equal parts:
Photo 5. Now we outline the line of the waist. It will be located on the notch between the first and second half of the divided centerline (there are 3 parts in total), and the hips are slightly lower and twice as wide as the waist. Draw the hips and waist at an angle, opposite the shoulders:
Photo 6. We unite the shoulders and waist along the edges, and from the waist we draw a line to the hips. You need to outline the length of the skirt - it will be equal to two distances from the waist to the hips:
Photo 7. From the shoulders, we outline the location of the hands. The left arm will be bent at the elbow and located at the level of the waist, and the right arm will be raised and laid to the side:
Photo 8. Now let's draw the legs. Remember to keep your knees at the notch level. The right leg will go slightly behind the left:
Photo 9. Let's draw a head in the form of an oval, and on it we will "outline" the hair. Most of them will fall to the left side:
Photo 10. Let's draw the hands and give them a shape. The girl will keep her left hand at the waist, and the right one is set aside:
Photo 12. With the eraser, delete the extra lines that were previously needed for construction. Strengthen the woman's body contour:
Photo 13. Let's draw the features of the woman's face. We do not put much emphasis on drawing the face, because our main task is to learn how to draw a woman in full growth, namely, the body. You can study my separate lesson "How to draw a portrait of a woman", where I work out in detail the details of the girl's face:
Photo 14. Let's set the tone for the hair. Near the bends, we make the strokes of the pencil denser:
