Lesson
Safety Procedures in drawing Human Figure
Steps in drawing human figure

Step 1: Plan the Drawing: Begin by just drawing a few vertical and
horizontal lines, making a rough estimate of the proportions of the
body. Keep in mind, that for an average human figure, the body height
should be 7 and a half times that of the head

Step 2: Add basic shapes to represent body parts Use circles, ovals,
triangles and rectangles to add more substance to your vision of the human figure
you are drawing. For instance, if you are drawing a fat man, you could begin by
drawing a big oval for his torso. If you are drawing a short girl, you can combine a
series of small ovals and circles.

Step 3: Sketch an outline of the basic structure: This

step is important as you need to draw the
figure in the most realistic way, paying
attention to the angles and curves of each
part of the body. Stronger pencil strokes can
be used for more definition, for instance to
show angular shoulders and softer lines can
be used to illustrate feminine curves of the
hips.

Step 4: Finalize drawing and enhance with details: Once you are
satisfied with the way your human figure drawing looks, you can use a pen to
finalize your drawing. Then, add in details like clothes and accessories to bring the
figure drawing come to life.
 5 DOS AND DON’TS OF DRAWING ANATOMY

1. Don’t think like an anatomy book

Drawing anatomy for beginners can feel overwhelming at first because there are so many muscles on the
body.

Do think in simple volumes

When you first approach figure drawing, you need to start out with establishing the basic volumes of the
figure using spheres, boxes and cylinders. By simply beginning with these basic shapes and then building up
the complexity as you go along, you will be able to make your drawing maintain it’s sense of dimension.

2.Don’t make muscles the focus

When artists first start paying closer attention to adding anatomy to their drawings they often have a
tendency to overemphasize the anatomy. The figures often end up looking like they have no skin. The
muscles are there to add more realism to the figure, but they shouldn’t be the focal point of the drawing.

Do use muscles to reinforce the action

The focus of a drawing should convey an action, an emotion or the subject’s personality. The volumes of the
muscles are designed to lead the eye through the body toward a point of action. The reader isn’t stopping to
look at the character’s well-developed musculature
3. DON’T draw every figure with the same shapes

When artists start using basic shapes to develop figures they often start to fall
into a pattern of using the same shapes to build every figure.

DO observe and adapt to your figures unique build

When you’re building your figure you have to look and adapt your shapes to the
specific subject you’re drawing. You’re not going to use the same shapes for a bodybuilder that you would a
sumo wrestler or a long distance runner. You
have to look at your subject and figure out what simple shapes are the best tools to develop your figure.
4. DON’T copy what you see
If you only copy what you see you will never create what you imagine.

DO recreate what you see on the page

Observational skills are important but not just for copying what you see. Use your observational skills to
analyze your subject’s unique shapes so you can reinterpret it on the page. That means you aren’t copying
counters of the body. Instead you’re recreating a figure on the page from the ground up.

5.DO pay attention to proportions and anatomy

To draw a realistic figure, you need to pay attention to accurately capture the figure’s proportions and
anatomy.

DON’T be overly rigid.

Anatomy and proportion are important. But alone, they don’t make for an interesting drawing. A figure
drawing that feels like it has personality or appears dynamic is going to be more interesting than one that it
technically correct.
