Pencil drawing of a girl, parts of her body.
The human body is unique in itself and very beautiful, especially the female body. And this is not surprising, which is why many professional artists try to draw female curves.
There are a huge number of methods for depicting the human body on paper. In our material we will tell you how to correctly draw a girl with a pencil, her arms and legs in the simplest ways and in different poses.
How to beautifully draw a human figure of a girl in full-length clothes step by step with a pencil for beginners and children?
In the first lesson we will try to depict a girl in full-length clothes. To complete the job without errors, you first need to become familiar with human anatomy and learn basic skills. Drawing a woman's body is not easy. Many experienced artists, oddly enough, do not always succeed in this.
Thanks to our lesson, you will study what the human body is made of and try to depict it on paper yourself using an ordinary pencil. You must have all the necessary tools:
- Thick paper – 1 piece
- A simple pencil - several pieces of different softness
- Eraser
Drawing process:
- First, draw a simple sketch of a girl. It should not stand straight, but be natural and relaxed.
- In the picture, depict the head slightly tilted, the right leg left to the side so that the weight of the body is directed towards the left leg.
- Mark the bends of the joints with dots.
- As for the spine, it should be flexible, so you should not draw it straight.
- Next, outline your model's feet.
- If you want to draw it on heels, then draw it on your socks. Draw the head in the form of an oval, slightly pointed at the bottom.
- Now, using smooth lines, outline the silhouette of the model. Also be aware of the muscle mass underneath the skin.
- Draw the muscles on the calves as small ovals.
- Place the largest muscles in the hip area.
- Draw one arm and hide the other one behind the body.
- Draw rounded knees.
- If you want the girl’s figure to be more natural, sketch out her skeleton.
- Outline your hair so that it falls freely over your left shoulder.
- Carefully remove any additional strips. If you were able to build the girl’s body correctly, then it will look proportional. Mark the breasts on the girl's body.
- Now dress up your beauty. Remember that you still need to “build” your face.
- To begin, divide your face horizontally into two equal parts. The resulting line will be the tip of the nose.
- Then divide the lower part into two equal parts again and mark the lower lip. Draw the entire face.
- At the next stage, you can wear your model in any clothes, in our case it will be a summer T-shirt with a skirt and sandals. Draw the girl thick strands of hair.
- Now move on to the details and volumes. Plus add decor and embellishments to your clothes. Focus on a dark T-shirt with a pattern. Using light shading, outline the folds of the skirt, draw more densely in the shadow areas at the bottom and near the waist. Using a sharp, hard pencil, draw a pattern. Then draw the decoration.

How to draw a girl's body in clothes with a pencil?
We will draw the next girl with dumbbells and in a sports style. To draw it, perform the following manipulations:
- Stand by the skeleton of the model and her pose. At this stage, construct all the proportions of the body correctly. To begin, draw the head in the form of an oval, then draw guiding lines, a face with ears.
- After this, use straight lines to draw the rest of the girl’s body (neck, spine, arms and legs, hands and feet). Now use ordinary figures to show the joints.
- Remove the sketched lines so that they are only slightly noticeable and you can start drawing the face. First comes the drawing of the nose, then the eyes and eyebrows.
Draw the eyes and nose - Draw the contours of the face, the shape of the lips and eyes. Finally draw the strands of hair. If you can't yet draw certain parts of the face, then practice this in advance.
- Once the face is ready, draw the model's T-shirt, hands with fingers, pants, sports shoes and leg warmers. Draw shadows in the drawing.
How to draw a girl's hands in clothes with a pencil?
Very often, many people, especially children, draw parts of a person, such as legs, in a simplified way. We want to teach you how to draw, taking into account the anatomical point of view. Take a simple pencil, an eraser, a landscape sheet and you can start learning.
- Draw the wireframe lines of the human hands.
- First, learn how to draw hands, starting from the elbow and ending with the fingers, or rather their tips. Draw a straight line. Mark a point at the top. Draw 5 segments from it.
- From these segments, take 5 more segments, which you connect at an angle. Using this base you will draw a brush.
Hand holding a pencil - Along the main line, outline the line of the elbow, then the line of the forearm.
- Draw the forearm wide from the elbow, then increase it in width and draw a hand.
- After that, draw the fingers: the little finger, then the ring finger and so on.
- And further. You need to depict skin unevenness, all depressions and bumps, as well as skin folds on your fingers and palms.
- Erase the auxiliary lines, leaving only the outline of the hand. Color your hand. To do this, use flesh tones. Here you can depict light places and darker ones in the shadows.
- Now let’s draw the girl’s palm separately. Start by drawing the frame lines.
- Select a point on the paper. From this point, draw 3 lines on different sides.
- Place a dot at the end of the 3rd line. From the point, draw the lines that you need to connect.
- Outline the palm itself, use smooth lines. You should end up with a palm bent down. Then draw the thumb.
- Show its thick part, then the phalanges of the finger, plus the lines of where the thumb connects to the index finger. Draw the index finger and middle finger. Draw the lines.
- Draw the ring finger and little finger. In the drawing, depict folds on the skin, bumps, convex places and unevenness of the palm.
- Remove auxiliary lines, leave only the most necessary ones. Color your palm, shade some places.
- You can now draw a hand, but now you have to hide it in your pocket. In the picture it will look like this.

How to draw a girl's legs in clothes with a pencil?
So, now we will try to tell you in detail how to correctly draw human legs. In fact, they are quite easy to draw, but this is only if the drawing itself is simple. If you want to depict your legs in a beautiful and more realistic picture, then you will have to put in a little effort.
In order to learn how to draw legs correctly, you need to remember the main rule is that the legs are never straight. Think for yourself, they will not look natural, without any bends. The picture will turn out beautiful if you convey the shape of the legs, taking into account every detail.
Now let's move on to the first stage:
- Start drawing the legs from the top, gradually moving downwards. It's simpler and easier.
- Now pay attention to your knees. They must be depicted on paper correctly. There is nothing complicated or special here. However, if you make even one small mistake or draw something incorrectly, then the whole drawing will not be beautiful.
- When you draw the legs, remember that the knees are considered the main connecting point. If you draw this point incorrectly, you will ruin the whole picture.
- Try to draw the legs carefully, as there are subtle but important details.
- The next stage is drawing the muscle tissue. Think right away what muscles you want to draw on the girl.
- Then pay special attention to how to properly draw the curves of the legs.
- Do everything here very carefully, paying attention to every detail.
- And at the very end, draw the girl’s feet, with each toe and heel.
- Highlight every moment of your feet to make them look natural.

How to easily draw a person, a girl in full-length clothes, using the cells?
Not everyone can draw beautiful pictures. And those who have no drawing ability at all can only dream about it. If you also cannot draw or find it difficult to do so, then you can try to draw pictures in cells. Yes, exactly according to the cells! Such drawings are practically in no way inferior to ordinary paintings drawn in pencil. They look quite beautiful and natural.
By counting out the required number of cells, and then painting them in one color or another, you will be able to depict on paper not only a portrait, but also a full-length girl. You will only have to stock up on patience and attentiveness.
If you want to draw large pictures, it is better to take graph paper. However, you can also use ordinary checkered sheets. Just glue them together so you have one large sheet. All you have to do is find a special diagram and draw as the cells are indicated on it.

How to draw a person and a girl in clothes sideways with a pencil?
We invite you to draw a girl in a 19th century outfit. Dresses that had a lot of ruffles, flounces, lace and satin ribbons were very fashionable at that time. Nowadays, such an outfit leaves no one indifferent, since you can look at it for a long time and admire the beauty of the dress itself.
- Draw the outlines of a woman's figure and outfit on paper. Please note that the correct proportion of a full-length figure should accommodate 8 heads.
- Now mark the pleats and flounces on the skirt. Then draw the top of the dress, the chic sleeves of the dress, which should end with beautiful lanterns. Then draw a headdress on the girl’s head – in this case we will have a hat, and don’t forget the strands of hair. Then draw the outline of the face.
- Yes, it is quite difficult to depict a 19th century outfit in a picture. The dress is usually decorated with frills, folds, and lace. You must carefully point out all these elements, that is, draw them. Therefore, you need to be patient.
- In order to add volume to your outfit, work out each shadow well. Decide where exactly the light source will come from. Draw immediately the shadows that come from the folds.
- Under each fold and ruffle, draw the darkest places. Add good light to the flounces; every fold should be visible on them.
- The dress does not have buttons, but there is a large amount of lace. Therefore, make their texture so that they are clearly visible.

Video: Drawing a girl with a pencil, main nuances
There is a genre in painting that even to many artists seems like an impregnable fortress. This is a portrait. Proportions and line thickness are only a small part of the parameters that cause concern. However, this wisdom can also be mastered if you strictly follow the rules for beginners, which describe how to draw, for example, a girl with a pencil step by step.
Profitable skill
Before we talk about the practical side of the issue, a few facts. Street artists occupy a special niche among the creative elite. Many of them made a name for themselves, and at the same time a good bank account, by painting portraits of women. This is exactly how the famous mysterious Banksy started, whose works are bought for millions of dollars and decorate the homes of the richest people in the world. So, if you want to learn how to draw portraits of girls, don’t put your dream on hold: it’s not only exciting from an aesthetic point of view, but can also become a real income. Moreover, there are no insurmountable difficulties for people who have at least basic knowledge of proportions.
Professionals recommend starting to master a portrait with a full-length image of a figure. To do this, draw 9 horizontal lines and 3 vertical lines on a piece of paper at equal intervals. And then we carefully read the manual.

Geometry to help
Another way to learn how to draw people is to use geometric shapes to build a skeleton.

In this lesson we will try to draw a full-length girl with a pencil. For this, knowledge of human anatomy, at least basic, will be useful. Drawing a person is quite difficult. Many artists do not find it very easy to depict people, even famous ones, oddly enough. Aivazovsky’s famous painting “Pushkin’s Farewell to the Sea” was painted together with Repin, since Aivazovsky managed to depict the sea superbly, but with portraits it was not so great. Therefore, Pushkin had to be painted by another great master of the brush. In our lesson you will gain basic knowledge about the structure of the human body and try to draw a full-length girl with a pencil step by step.
- Take a thick sheet of white paper, preferably matte (although you can use colored paper, the main thing is that it has a fine grain or is generally smooth, since it is simply not possible to draw fine details with a simple pencil on loose paper). Two simple pencils of different softness and an eraser. Let's start with a light sketch of the girl's pose and movement. She doesn't stand straight like a tin soldier, her figure is more natural and relaxed. The head is tilted to the side, the right leg is slightly set to the side, so the entire weight of the body will be on the girl’s left leg. The dots indicate the bends of the joints; they will be in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. The girl’s height is calculated in this way: the length of the face from the chin to the top of the forehead should “fit” into her height approximately eight times. The lengths from hip to knee or from knee to ankle are individual, there are no clear proportions. The human hand, or rather the fingertips of the average person, reach the middle of the thigh. Remember that the spine is flexible and does not need to be drawn as a rigid straight line. In our drawing it is also slightly curved. Label the girl's feet. Since she will be wearing high heels, it will visually look like she is standing on tiptoes. Draw the head like an egg, with the pointed part down. The length of a person's hand and the length of his foot are approximately equal to the length of his face from the chin to the top of the forehead.
- Now let’s outline the girl’s silhouette with smooth lines. Don't forget about the muscles under the skin. We denote the calf muscles with small ovals. The largest and most powerful ones will be on the thighs. We draw the girl’s hand; the second one will not be visible due to the position of the body. We designate rounded knees.
- In order to more accurately draw a person’s figure, you need to imagine “what’s inside him,” his skeleton. Therefore, in the drawing you can schematically indicate the chest (this is a rigid bone frame made of ribs) and the pelvic bones (we draw them as a horizontal oval). We just outline the girl’s hair; it will lie freely on her left shoulder.
- Carefully remove all auxiliary lines and if you have built the body correctly, it will be beautiful and proportional. Let's designate the girl's breasts. The roundness of the knees and the bulging calf muscles can be left in the drawing.
- We begin to dress our drawn girl and outline the details of her face. Remember that the face is also “under construction.” First it is divided horizontally in half, and this line will be the location of the tip of the nose, then the lower half is divided in half again and the lower lip is designated. At this stage, the figure can be dressed in anything. In this case it will be a light summer top, skirt and sandals. Draw a girl's thick curly hair with curls.
- We deal with the details and volume of the figure, as well as the decor of clothing and jewelry. We will focus on a dark top with patterns. We use light shading to indicate the folds on the skirt, and draw more densely in the shadow areas below and near the waistband. Using a sharp, hard pencil, we draw the ornament. The decoration on the neck is drawn very simply, practically with black intermittent dots. At this point, the drawing is completely finished and, I hope, you also managed to draw a full-length girl with a pencil.
Each of us is surrounded by thousands of people. It would seem that we have learned the proportions and features of the human body down to the millimeter. But here's the paradox - draw a person much more complicated than anything you have ever seen.
Sometimes when you draw someone, you are amazed - not a person, but some kind of alien. If you also can’t draw people, as they say, don’t pass by - here you will find a lot of useful and interesting things for yourself.
And the very first thing is this video that will show you how to draw a boy and a girl.
Even ancient artists, when drawing a person, tried to divide his body into equal parts, so that it would be easy to correctly recreate the proportions of the figure. After all, knowing the relationship between individual parts of the body and the figure as a whole, you can easily draw a person. At the same time, of course, we must not forget that all people have their own characteristics.
So, drawing a person, We take the head size as a unit of measurement.
The height of an adult man or woman is equal to 8 head sizes, the height of a teenager is 7, a student is 6, and a baby is only 4 head sizes.
Proportions of people of different age groups
Before drawing a person, remember a few important nuances:
- arms should end at mid-thigh,
- elbows are at waist level,
- knees - strictly in the middle of the legs.
Did you know that the height of a person is equal to the length of his arms spread to the sides, and the length of his legs fits four times the height of his head?
But what amazed me even more was the size of the human foot. It turns out that its height is equal to the height of the nose, and its length is the length of the forearm.
Look how a man and a woman should be drawn correctly in different positions.
And now I will show you how to draw people step by step. I assure you, with the master class from Pustunchik it will be easy and simple.
How to draw a boy
If you need to draw a boy, use the following diagram. And I will tell you how and what parts of the body you need to draw step by step.
1. Draw an oval for the boy’s head, then a small neck and a rectangle for the body.
2. Draw another rectangle from below, divide it in half. These are the legs. Draw rectangular arms. On the upper large rectangle, make curves from the neck to the arms - these are the shoulders.
3. Erase the extra lines on the shoulders. Draw the neck of the sweater, the seam lines (but not all the way), where the sleeves connect to the main part of the sweater. Draw the fly and folds on the pants in the form of a slingshot. Now draw the shoes and hands. See the detailed diagram showing how to draw hands on the right.
4. Let's start drawing the head. First, draw a cross - it will point to the middle of the head and determine the location of the eyes. Two arches, two dots and one small arch at the bottom of the head are the top of the eyes, the future nose and lips. The ears will be located at the level of the nose and eyes.
5. Draw the eyes, in place of the dots, draw small circles - nostrils. Now move on to the eyebrows and hair.
6. Erase the extra lines and, with light pencil movements, outline the folds on the clothing. Add details. Congratulations! The boy's drawing is ready.
How to draw a baby
This drawing is perfect for some comic book, and it can also be drawn for a kindergarten or elementary school student. The funny little one will also be a godsend for a school exhibition of young artists.
1. Draw an oval, indicate the eyes with dots, and show the baby’s nose and mouth with two bent arcs.
2. Mark the corners of the lips, draw ears and hair.
3. At the bottom of the head, draw a trapezoid - the boy’s body. Don’t forget to separate the blouse from the pants with a straight horizontal line, and show the pants with a vertical line.
4. Draw the sleeves.
5. Now draw the child’s arms and legs.
6. Divide the fingers with lines. That's all! The little mischief maker is ready for some pranks :)

How to draw a guy
Every girl at least once in her life tried to draw the guy of her dreams. It is, of course, different for everyone. But for now let's just draw a guy with glasses and a cool T-shirt. Go?
1. Make a template of a person.
2. Using auxiliary lines draw the head and arms.
3. Draw hair, nose, lips. Put the guy's glasses on.
4. Trace the contours of the guy's body. Draw the hands. Add shadows using dashed lines. Mark the neck of the T-shirt.
5. Remove unnecessary lines. Make the contours of a man's body clearer.
Here you go! A macho man with a serious look and cool glasses is ready to win hearts!
This method is by no means the best, much less the fastest, but from the point of view of most artists it is correct. He slowly but surely helps you draw a person with a pencil step by step.
At the end of the article you can watch the video About,
This method of drawing is aimed at stimulating the imagination and forming an idea of the human body in three-dimensional space; it is well suited for beginners and for people who are diligent and patient.
Almost all beginning draftsmen begin drawing a human figure from the head, thereby making a serious mistake. And they are quite surprised when, as a result, it turns out that there is absolutely no room left on the paper for the feet - this method will save you from such an unpleasant situation.
Consider the ideal proportions of the human body:
So head fits in tall people along the length of the body 8 times, in people of average height – 7.5 times, in people of short stature - 6-7 times.
Head fits 2.5 times the length of the body, in leg length – 3-4 times.
Stretched along the body hand should concern mid thigh.
Shoulder width in an adult male it is usually equal two head lengths and more than hip width.
Thigh length corresponds length of the lower leg with the foot, A lower leg - two foot lengths.
The female figure, unlike the male figure, has a lower average height and shorter limbs.
Hip Width women usually have more shoulder width.
A woman's head is relatively and absolutely smaller than a man's.
Schematic representation of a person:
Every child knows the song from the cartoon "Octopussy": "Stick, stick, cucumber, it turned out to be a little man..."
And don't underestimate this phrase.
Schematic men display a very important characteristic - the proportions of body parts. And in order to avoid logical discord in our stick-shaped men, it is necessary to comply with the so-called “artistic canon”.
Now let's take a closer look at our sketchy people:
Sketchy Man No. 1
Everyone has drawn such a man at least once in their life.
This is the so-called basic man.
But there's not much you can do about it.
Just practice maintaining the proportions of the head, torso, arms and legs.
Schematic Man No. 2
Here the proportions of the forearm, thigh, lower leg and foot are additionally outlined.
Schematic man No. 3
The perfect stick man!
I'm sure you've hardly seen any child draw a little man exactly like that.
The shoulders and pelvis of this figure already have a certain width.
Exercise:
In order to understand how accurately you observe proportions in your works, draw a few schematic people.
Thus, simply and quickly, without being distracted by details (clothes, hair, etc.), you can assess how well you know the proportions of the human body.
In addition, you can immediately determine whether the figure will fit on the sheet.
I think now you understand how important it is to master proportions. And what an important role the sketchy men play in the future picture.
Human Pose:
It's time to revive and make our hero do something. So before you start working on a character, with the help of schematic drawings you can try out many poses and choose one.
Below are some examples of the stick figures in action.
The picture shows a man walking.
Notice the movement of the hip joints. Typically, the shoulders move in the opposite direction.
A person lies on his side with support on one arm. Thus, the chest “hangs” on the shoulder and the spine, bending, draws a curved line.
In order to draw the human body, you need to know the features of its structure.
The skeleton is the basis
head
rib cage
spine
pelvis
joints
hands
brushes
legs
feet
Notice the curve of the spine
(to make it easier to see, we won’t draw the hand).
The skeleton can be drawn in a simplified form:
Having an idea about the structural features of the skeleton, moving on to muscle and/or fat
, if we get lucky…).
We will use all sorts of shapes to display body parts: cylinders, ellipses, etc.
Now you can clearly evaluate
The whole process from sketching (creating a schematic man) to three-dimensional drawing based on a schematic drawing:
This method will also help you work with details. For example, in drawing the hands and feet:
That's all!
The main idea of this lesson is that the correct foundation is important for drawing.
And to achieve this goal, it is necessary to discard everything unnecessary and present it in schematic form.
And the sketchy people will help you with this!
The main advantage of this method is that you can easily and quickly try on many poses for your character.
Choose the most suitable pose and decide on the composition at the first stage.
