Girls and boys have cardinal differences in the structure of the body. But, in the modern world, some women look like men in appearance, because of their clothes and hairstyles. However, no matter how a girl does not try to be like a man, we can still recognize her. The main distinguishing feature is the structure of the body of a woman - it's wide hips and narrower shoulders (in men exactly opposite indicators). When drawing a girl in full height it is worth to build on this basic rule, and other secrets of the drawing can be learned from step-by-step of this tutorial.

Tools and materials:

  1. White paper sheet;
  2. A simple pencil;
  3. An eraser.

Steps of the drawing:

Step 1. First of all, you need to draw a vertical line with a simple pencil. At the edges of the segment, we leave the notches. They will determine the total height of the body for which you can not go beyond:

Step 2. Divide the segment in half. In this way, the line is divided into two parts, according to which later we will build the body. Next, the upper segment is again divided in half, and from the resulting upper segment we measure another half. The uppermost segment is the height of the girl's head:

Step 3. Now we need to outline the location of the shoulders. The line of shoulders will be under the head, namely under the second (top) notch. Then go a little down from the head, leaving a little room for the neck. Draw line of shoulders under a slope, because the girl will stand a little bending over:

Step 4. Next we need to know the location of the waist and knees. To do this, divide the center line into three parts. To make this easy, the bottom half of the centerline is divided in half, but the line of the knees will be slightly higher. We measure its height and transfer it to the center line three times, leaving the notches. As a result, there should be three equal parts:

Step 5. Now draw a line of waist. It will be located on the notch between the first and second half of the divided center line (there are 3 parts in all), and the hips are slightly lower and twice wider than the waist. Hips and waist are drawn under the slope, opposite to the shoulders:
