Hello.

When you're drawing the body, which part is the most difficult?

A lot of people struggle with drawing the hands, feet,

and the whole body, and I'm the same way.

In this lesson, I'll teach you some tips on how to draw hands, feet,

and the whole body easily which i usually use.

First, let's draw the rough shape of the hand by dividing the big face.

There's the top side of the hand,

and there's a rectangle that gets narrower towards the bottom.

The bottom part that connects to the thumb is connected like a triangle.

Now, if I attach my fingers here,

there's the thumb,

and then there's the rest of the fingers along the top.

Everyone's index finger and ring finger are different lengths, but they're roughly the same.

And the pinky is the shortest.

The palm is connected to the wrist.

The palm is a little wide, so I'll erase it.

I divided the palm into two parts and drew the hand.

Now, let's draw the top part in detail.

There's a rake here,

and it bends like this.

The back of the hand comes down and connects to the wrist.

And on the palm of the hand, the lines of the palm is drawn in this direction.

The thumb is divided into two parts and the other three parts.

Now, if I draw the outline of the fingers,

like this, where the fingernail is, it's flat,

and the skin on the other side is round,

and the other finger gets thicker as it goes down.

And then there's a continuous piece in between.

When you draw an object,

do you remember to draw the whole shape before you draw the details?

If you follow the way you draw the hands,

your big shapes will be the palm

and the details will be each fingers.

Instead of drawing every single finger,

if you start with bigger parts like the wrist

and the palm, it will be easier to draw.

Using this method, let's draw the shape of the other hand.

Let's start with the wrist

and draw the palm that's bent

because the palm

has flesh on it,

so it's plump and thick.

If you look at it from the side,

the back of the hand is flat and the palm has curves.

Then we drew this part.

Draw a curve in the palm on the other side.

Now, we're going to draw the fingers on it.

Let's first draw it with a thick brush like we did earlier.

Let's start from the base where it's closest

to the palm and draw it from the base where it goes up.

Draw the joints of your index fingers

from where your fingers begin.

The same goes

for the middle finger.

Make sure the ring finger isn't longer than the middle finger.

And the pinky finger will be the shortest.

I quickly got the general shape of the hand.

Now, i will draw the line one it.

Draw a curve on the palm

and draw the wrist.

Again, draw the curvature of the palm

and draw the thumb.

We'll start with the pinkie in the front.

Draw the rest of the fingers.

Depict the joints and draw the fingernails

according to your preference.

Adjust the inside of the palm

and it's done.

If you draw from the palm

to the bottom of the fingers as if you're drawing upward,

it'll be much easier

than starting drawing from each finger or

fingertips.

Next, we're going to draw the feet.

Feet don't happen as often as hands,

so let's keep the angles used often in mind

and drawing socks and shoes is more often than bare feet.

So it's better to observe

and practice the shape of the shoes.

Let's first draw the feet with the angle that we saw from below,

starting with the rough shape of the footprints that we're all familiar with.

And inside here, we'll draw the bottoms of the feet.

The bottoms of the feet are like this,

and there will be toes.

But I rarely draw individual toes,

so I'll reshape them as I go.

Now, bare feet look like this.

If you remember them

as if you're wearing socks, it'll be easier.

Now, we'll draw the feet from the side angle

It looks like a trapezoid.

Let's draw the legs and the details.

There will be the top of the foot

and the flesh on it, so it has a curve like this.

The toes are attached,

and the heel sticks out.

And there's a peach bone around here.

Let's draw the last shape we saw from the front.

There's also a leg.

From the front view, it will be more like narrower trapezoid shape.

This side comes out a little more.

When you draw a vertical line around an ankle,

you can see

that the inside of the foot is wider than the outside of the foot.

So when you look at it from the front,

the inside of the foot is wider than the outside.

If I draw another shape on here,

the line of the calf and the foot will be here,

and the line of the front toe will be between the thumb and the index finger.

And around here, there will be a peach bone.

I drew the three angles of the foot.

Now,

let's draw the shoes that are most common at the top.

The canvas shoes have the same shape as the sole.

The shoes are split in half like this.

If you look at the shoes from the side, there's a top-heel cloth,

and this part is rounded along the peach bone.

Then it goes all the way back.

If you draw the back of the shoe, it looks natural.

Let's draw the heel and the side.

There's an apron that protects your toes,

and the sole of the shoe follows the curvature of the foot.

The shoes you saw earlier have the same cloth covering the back

of the foot and the side that goes around the ankle bone.

The toes follow

the curvature.

Let's clean up the shape.

There's one more thing, the tips on how to draw the shoelace easily

If you draw with thick lines first

like this and draw along the outline,

it will be easier to draw.

And you won't have to add too many details.

I drew three angles of the feet and the shoes.

Remember the angles you often use,

then it will be much easier

if you start with trapezoid shapes.

Next, I'll draw the whole body.

The number of heads will vary depending on the deformed,

but I will draw it in seven heads.

I'm going to draw seven copies of the head and position the ground.

One important tip when drawing the whole body is

to observe the slope of the shoulders and hips.

If you draw the body at different angles,

one waist will be curved

The pelvis is tilted,

so naturally, one leg is placed on one side.

One arm will be raised according to the shoulder,

while the other arm will be relaxed and the shoulder will be lower.

Depending on the pressure you put on your body,

the slope of your shoulders and pelvis are different.

If you keep this angle in mind,

your pose will look more natural.

Next, let's draw it from the half-side.

This time, depending on the perspective,

the slope of the shoulder and pelvis will be changed.

First, let's draw the line which is getting narrowed to the inside.

Then draw the body according to the lines.

Draw the legs in a way that matches the knees and toes.

Let's also draw the arms in a proper pose.

Again, let's draw the body sitting at the same angle as the perspective lines.

This time, we drew more slanted line.

Draw the shoulders along the line,

the waist, and the hips as well.

Now, draw the legs so that the knees

and the ankles are aligned with the line.

Draw the arms in a proper pose.

Clean up the unnecessary parts

and we're done.

If we sketch the character on top of this,

it looks like this.

I tried to give you as many usuful tips as I could,

but what do you think?

The best way

to draw a character is to practice.

Whenever I have time,

I try to look at the photo and draw croquis.

Another important part of croquis

drawing is to draw the big shapes and the flow first.

Instead of drawing small arms

and legs, look

at the overall proportions and the slope of the body first.

When you croquie,

your reference photo doesn't have

to be a muscular and dynamic pose.

If you do daily artwork,

I would recommend photos taken from photo

spreadshops and shopping malls with natural poses.

In this chapter, we learned the basics of character drawing.

Naturally drawing characters and finding your

own style takes a lot of practice and time.

It may feel like you're not improving quickly,

but if you practice diligently,

you'll find that your drawing will

become natural before you know it.

In the next chapter, we're going to use what we've learned

in this chapter to help you design your own unique characters.

See you in the next chapter.
