This tutorial for how to draw a dancing lady can do double duty by teaching some simple body proportion lessons, while creating a colorful image in honor of Black History month.

The project about a dancing woman was inspired by artist Bernard Hoyes. He began his professional artist career began at the early age of nine in his home town of Kingston, Jamaica. Bernard’s mother sold his wood carvings and watercolors to visitors at the Jamaica Tourist Board to help maintain the household and support his creative efforts. Hoyes went on to study art in New York and now lives and works in Desert Hot Springs, CA.

Mr. Hoyes has an elegant way of painting women dancing to music, and this particular pose makes it easy for even young artists to imitate. By making the head touch the top of the paper, and the hands touch the sides, students are guaranteed to draw a well-proportioned body that fills up the paper.

Sharing a few of Mr. Hoyes’ paintings before students draw their own, might encourage them to use lots of rich colors. You can see his Jamaican roots with the rhythmic movement and vivid colors of his paintings.

It is not necessary to draw motionless girls. You can portray a girl dancing flamenco. The dancer will have a symmetrical skirt, similar to a layered cake, with her arms raised, one of them behind her head. The girl stands in half a turn, arching.

Draw a thin line at the base of the skirt. Mark the upper part of the skirt above it (its contours resemble a sun hat), connect it with stepped lines to the base. From the skirt draw a curved spine line. Draw a circle for the head and mark the chin on it. Where you plan to draw a face, apply guides. Below the head, draw a circle (chest).

How to draw a girl in a dress video

Now we will look at how to draw a girl with a pencil step by step. The girl is 10 years old, she is a model. At first glance, it may seem very difficult, but do not be afraid, because we will apply two methods in one for drawing a girl, which will be very easy to navigate when drawing. This is a method of dividing the area into squares and simply drawing a circle separating the lines, the skeleton. You can use the two methods together, or you can use them separately, for example, just navigate through the squares without additional lines. Many artists, before drawing anything realistically, divide the sheet into squares. If you haven't tried it, be sure to try it.

Step 1. We draw a table, it consists of three vertical columns and seven horizontal ones, the size of the square can be 3 * 3 cm, you can do more if the sheet of paper allows. Now draw a circle and guide lines that indicate the direction of the head. Who will only be guided only by squares, may not draw a circle.

Step 2. Draw the outline of the eyes, since we have a model girl, her eyes and lips are made up, so the shadows on the eyes merge with the eyelashes and we simply draw the outlines. We draw the girl's chin, part of the ears, earrings on them, bang lines.

Step 3. Draw the eyes, nose and eyebrows of the girl. The girl's eyebrows are very light, so we first draw a contour, then paint over them with a pencil so that they are very light, lightly press on the pencil.

Step 4. We detail the nose, draw the lips of the girl.

Step 5. Draw the girl's hair.

Step 6. Those who draw in squares can skip this step, and the rest draw the skeleton of the girl's body as she sits.

Step 7. Draw the girl's body and arms. First comes the full image of the girl along with the skeleton, then in the next two pictures, an enlarged version without the skeleton.



Step 8. Finish the hair, fingernails and folds on the girl's dress.

This lesson is dedicated to how to draw a girl's face without pronounced emotions with soft features.

In this tutorial we will need:

  • sketchbook;
  • HB pencil;
  • nag eraser;
  • ruler.

I know there is a lot of time in this lesson about measuring. In my opinion, at the initial stage, this is necessary, especially if you are a beginner. Once you get the hang of proportions and get your hands on female faces, you can repeat this lesson without wasting time on metrics. Ready to practice? Then let's start!

How to draw a girl's face. Step 1: Shape the face.

Draw a circle and draw a small horizontal line at the bottom half the circle's diameter. It is important to follow this rule, since the circle was drawn by hand.

Women have a smaller chin than men. Chin augmentation will add masculinity to a woman's face.

After that draw the cheekbones by connecting the chin to the circle. The forms of women's faces are extremely diverse. As an example, I will use the image of soft cheekbones.

Then draw a vertical line exactly in the middle of the future face.

How to draw a girl's face. Step 2: Outline the proportions.

Measure the length of the face and divide into eight equal parts. Label each part with a serial number or letter as shown in the figure. Then, using a ruler, draw straight horizontal lines through the points labeled Center line, 2,3, A, and C.

order: center line, 2, 3, B, A, C, breaking the lines each time in the middle again and again.

How to draw a girl's face. Step 3: Eyes.

Divide the center line inside the face into five equal parts. Remember that women's eyes are wider and more open than men's.


How to draw a girl's face. Step 4: Nose.

To draw the nose, draw two vertical lines down from the inner edge of the eye to line 3. These lines will limit the width of the nose. Then draw a small circle just above line 2. My nose will be short and narrow, with a narrow bridge.

How to draw a girl's face. Step 5: Eyebrows.

In the picture on the left, I've drawn a brow ridge to show the organic position of the brow itself in relation to the brow. In the drawing on the right, we can see that the eyebrow is located under line C. To depict a surprised expression, the eyebrow will need to be even closer to line C.

How to draw a girl's face. Step 6: Lips.

To mark the borders of the lips from the middle of each pupil, you will need to draw a perpendicular line down to line 3. Then draw a triangle, the beginning of which will go from the tip of the nose. The base of the triangle must be inside the square. The top of the triangle should be located strictly at the tip of the nose. As mentioned earlier, this example is typical for a face that does not express vivid emotions. If you want to portray a smirk on your face, as if the girl is bluffing in the process of the classic version of the well-known card game, position the lower lip a little lower. Define the teeth by drawing several perpendicular lines.

After you have drawn the lips, you may want to lengthen the chin. Or vice versa, make it shorter so that the proportions look more natural. It's quite normal. I constantly adjust these proportions.

How to draw a girl's face. Step 7: Ears.

The boundary lines for the ears are the center line and line 2. To practice drawing realistic ears, we recommend that you refer to this lesson (not yet translated).

Center line and line 2 limit the ears above and below.

How to draw a girl's face. Step 8: Hair.

When drawing women's hair, remember that a woman's forehead is usually smaller and narrower than a man's. In my example, the hair line starts below line A. I also draw the hair on both sides of the temples, but make sure that the hair is not too close to the eyebrows. Don't forget to add volume to your hair by leaving a little space between your hair and your head. For more detailed instructions on how to draw realistic hair, I recommend referring to one of the.

Before you erase all the auxiliary lines, check once again how harmonious the proportions of the face are. If after checking you are satisfied with the result, you can safely erase them.

Well, after you have mastered the lesson on the image of a woman's face, it's time to experiment and do some exercises without a ruler.

To know how to draw a girl with a pencil, it is not necessary to study art and be an artist. Any beginner can try his hand. It is enough to stock up on perseverance and gradually master some skills. It is important to remember the aspects described below.

Materials Needed

Beginning artists should stock up on materials such as:

Don't skimp on basic drawing materials, even for beginners. Poor quality materials can discourage interest in drawing and complicate the first steps in art. For beginners, the best choice would be products of the middle price category.

The proportions of the female body

The proportions of the female body differ from the male in some ways. In addition, at different times, different proportions were taken as the standard of beauty in the visual arts.

Nowadays, the following parameters of the female body are relevant for drawing:

  1. To measure height, you need to calculate the height of a woman's head and multiply this parameter by 7-8.5 times. It is useful to know that a person's height is divided exactly in half at the point of the pubic articulation.
  2. An average of 1.5 head heights is required to calculate shoulder width.
  3. The width of the pelvic bone is directly proportional to the width of her shoulder, and the height of a woman's pelvis is slightly lower than the height of her head.
  4. Average waist equals 1 head height.
  5. To calculate the height between the base of the chest and the hip joint, divide the height of the head in half.

Axes and proportions of the face

Not everyone knows the tricks of how to draw a girl with a pencil. It is easy to explain this process step by step for beginners.

It is enough just to know about the following proportions of facial features and about the universal axes that can be based on in the process of building a face:


Face Drawing Chart

Chart:


How to draw a girl in profile

Asking how to draw a girl with a pencil step by step for beginners, the answer must be sought in the same measurements and center lines as when drawing in full face. You should start drawing by drawing auxiliary lines in the form of a square. Its height should be 1/8 more than its width. All the main axes must be transferred to it, as if a full face was inscribed in it.

Then, an oblique egg-shaped oval should be inscribed in a rectangle between the axis on which the tip of the nose is located and the top of the whole square. This oval helps build the correct shape of the skull, the back of the head and the forehead.

The part of the side of the skull that joins the neck must be tilted downwards.

  • From the top extreme point of the oval, you should start drawing the line of the forehead, eyebrows, nose, mouth and chin. In this case, it is necessary to focus on the auxiliary lines drawn. The most protruding point of the forehead, closer to the eyebrows, is in contact with the edge of the square.
  • The eyes are located on their own axis. On the face in profile, the eyes take the form of an arrowhead. The round iris becomes a thin, elongated oval with a pointed top and bottom.
  • The tip of the nose will protrude slightly beyond the square. The depression of the bridge of the nose falls on the same axis on which the eyes are located.
  • Lips in profile will appear protruding, especially the lower lip. The line where the lips meet goes slightly down from the lips. Even if a person smiles, the line goes straight at first, and then smoothly rounds up.
  • The ears are C-shaped when viewed in profile. An arc runs along the edge of the ear - a thin cartilage. In addition, you should remember about the earlobe. When drawing a female face, the ears are often covered with hair.

How to draw a girl in full growth

Step by step drawing a girl with a pencil, it is extremely important for beginners to observe the proportions of the body, which were mentioned earlier. Only observance of proportions will help to avoid the image of an awkward, unrealistic body.

To portray a girl in full growth, it is recommended to consider the following aspects:

  • Center axis image . This axis coincides with the spine of the girl. At the initial level of drawing, it is recommended to draw a figure standing straight and level, in full face. Therefore, the central axis will also be straight.
  • Torso . Schematically, it is recommended to depict it in the form of an inverted triangle. It should not be made too large or wide, as the female figure, on average, has more graceful shoulders and chest.
  • Chest . To determine the correct location of the chest, another smaller one is entered into the triangle of the torso, pointing upwards. At its corners, you need to draw two identical circles, which are the chest.
  • Hips . For the image of the hips, it is convenient to draw a circle, a small part of which goes to the lower corner of the triangle depicting the torso.

Using the obtained landmarks, you need to connect them with smooth, rounded lines. The figure should acquire the contours of the female body. Next, you need to draw the arms and legs. The length of the arms is just below the inguinal region.

Important points when drawing hair

List:

  • When drawing hair, it is important to pay attention to how light falls on it . As a rule, the roots of the hair are in the shade, and at some distance from them, a highlight is noticeable on the hair. It should be left unpainted, or just add a few strokes around the edges. Next, it is important to pay attention to how the hair lies in the strands. In the drawing, you should combine small strands into larger ones and depict a glare on them the way light falls. Also, it is necessary to highlight the darker, shady areas so that the drawing does not look flat.
  • Hair lies luxuriantly on the head, covering part of the forehead and cheeks, ears. Depending on the structure of the hair (curly, straight), they can be more voluminous or vice versa, smooth. It is important to notice the direction in which the hair grows to reflect them as realistically as possible.
  • There is a lot of hair on the head of a person, but it is not necessary to depict them all . It is only necessary to show their general texture. Pencils of various hardness are used for shading hair. For shady areas, take the softest pencil and stroke with pressure. Hard pencils are needed to mark the hairs in the lighter parts and highlights. It is important that the strokes are confident and long. To do this, it is recommended to rest the hand with a pencil on the elbow, and not on the wrist, and draw from the elbow.

This is a simpler version where you won't need to depict her face, breasts and other complex details.


However, drawing a girl from the back has its own nuances:

  • Should indicate the width of the shoulders and back . The overall shape will resemble a triangle, however, it should not be too large or wide. Otherwise, the girl will look too strong and masculine.
  • The spine runs vertically in the center of the back to be reflected as multiple dashes.
  • At the level where the arms are attached to the body, shoulder blades are visible on the back . They should not be made too explicit. But if the figure shows a slender girl, it is advisable to mark the shoulder blades with light strokes.
  • Loose hair often covers the back and neck . Drawing a girl from the back is a good opportunity to depict beautiful curls scattered over her shoulders.

Anime style

Anime style involves a stylized image of a girl's figure and face. As a rule, anime characters have exaggeratedly large and round eyes on a small face, a small mouth and nose (which may be indicated by a dash or a dot). The arms and legs are thin and slender. The girl herself is most often petite and graceful, with a thin waist. The legs are exaggeratedly long.

First you need to make a sketch, depict the head, facial features and hairstyle. Anime hairstyles suggest some carelessness and volume. Next, you should detail the sketch, adding details and paying attention to the location of the shadow and light in the drawing.

In a dress

A pencil drawing of a girl in a dress should begin with a step-by-step sketch of the figure of a girl, as it were, without a dress. For beginners, this will help to correctly build her figure in clothes. It is advisable to take into account that clothing helps to hide those details that are poorly obtained. Therefore, it is important to choose a dress style that will cover the most complex elements of the pattern.
