I’ve always wondered how to draw people. Is there some way to learn that?

    If you draw a grid on a photo(about 1 inch for every square.) and on some paper to draw on, it really helps. It gives you reference points for just about everything. It would be a nice start into knowing what goes where. Also use short, quarter of an inch(maybe shorter), lines whenever possible. I do that when making curves and it makes it a lot easier, especially when doing larger ones. Edit: also human bodies pretty much follow the same dimensions: knees half way in legs. You can find a bunch of references for faces.

  • Tip 1: You don’t start drawing the body straight away. Start with skellyman lines, then draw muscley shapes, then you can hook ‘em all together, and draw clothes & junk. Tip 2: Concept sketches. Before you draw your character, draw their clothes, and accessories all on their own. You must know what 9S’ amazingly fabulous coat looks like before he can wear it. Tip 3: Don’t judge your drawing until it’s closer to being finished. Your drawing will always look like garbage until it’s almost done. Tip 4: Legs are the worst. Tip 5: Find a good teacher. Not, like, a school teacher (though art classes do help), but someone to help you one on one. RagingRedhead helped me. Tip 6: Let people tell you how bad your art is without getting defensive. Can’t git gud if you don’t know why you’re bad. Tip 7: You should really be asking someone else ‘cause I’m not very good at this. :p
