Being able to draw people and human figures correctly is not entirely simple. This skill must be learned. There are special books for precise drawing of parts human body. Such books are written by high-class artists who are fluent in the techniques of accurately reproducing the anatomy of the human body. But both these books and these techniques are for those who are really going to comprehend all the basics of human drawing. And there are several simplified techniques for drawing different people. You can call such cartoon-type drawings. Here we want to offer you to draw in stages a young guy who is going to congratulate, apparently, his girlfriend on the upcoming holiday Valentine's Day - February 14. So often draw guys in anime, cartoons, comics, children's magazines, etc. Let's get started.

Stage 1. In the middle of the sheet we draw a vertical line. Divide approximately our sheet of paper into three parts. We delimit the upper part for the image of the head with a horizontal line, then draw another horizontal line a little lower, and draw legs under it. In the upper part, we begin to draw the contours of the face: the line of the cheekbones, chin, neck. Next, draw hair in clear lines, show the bangs with the angular borders, make the top of the hairstyle wavy lines. Around the neck we will depict a stand-up collar. Add a lot of hair lines to the hairstyle, draw narrow eyes on the face, a straight nose and lips in a smile. Between the horizontal lines we show the body of the guy. Let's start at this stage to draw his clothes: a triangular-shaped cutout below the neck, shoulder line, sides.

Step 2. Add the lines of the hands in the sleeves of a jacket or shirt, depending on what you dress your hero. On the elbows we will draw assemblies, since we draw our hands bent. The left hand in his pocket, in his right he will hold a bouquet. Below the second horizontal line we show the trouser lines. Next, we outline the collar of the sweater, detailing the knitted structure of the clothes. On a jacket we draw lapels and lapels on them.

Stage 3. Now in the left hand we must show the indispensable attribute of the girl’s congratulations - this is a beautiful bouquet. First, we clearly draw the stems and leaves of the flowers. With a bent brush, the guy holds the bouquet tightly by the stems. In our case, a bouquet of roses. Then, between the leaves at the top, we draw small neat roses, they look out in dense foliage on thin stems. On the jacket we make circles - buttons, at the bottom of the trousers we show pointed model shoes with laces.

Stage 4. We got a very nice young man, stylishly dressed, with beautiful bouquet  for his girlfriend. You can “dress” him based on your preferences. In our case, this is a suit from a jacket and trousers and a sweater underneath. We show you two colorization options. The first option is more free, black pants, a blue jacket and a blue sweater. And the second option is more classic: a white sweater and a black and brown suit. Fantasy here on clothing and coloring! Good luck

How to draw a guy?

It’s enough just to learn how to draw a guy on your own, like any other object. For starters, it's best to take a simple pencil, an eraser, and, of course, a piece of paper. In this way, you can draw both a guy and a girl.

How to draw a guy with a simple pencil

You can draw a guy’s silhouette in profile and full face, portrait and full height. Consider how to draw a guy with a full-length pencil. The pencil should be well sharpened.

Drawing of anime cartoon guy

How to draw an anime guy? The distinctive features of these characters are the specific contours of the face,   as well as a hairstyle. The eyes, as a rule, are very large - on the floor of the face, and the hair is depicted in the form of “spiky” strands sticking out in all directions or hanging on the face (you can find out exactly how the characters look if you look at any cartoon anime).

As for the shape of the face, it is most often depicted using sharp angles (especially the chin). The facial features of the anime guy are: large eyes, thin, almost invisible nose, thin lips. The mouth can be portrayed open (for example, a drawing of a “screaming” guy), then it should be large, semi-oval. Next, you can draw the guy’s anime in stages, as described above. It should only be remembered that the figures of these characters are mostly subtle, elegant.

Think over the whole composition of the future drawing. Decide in what position and on what plane the guy will be, whether he will perform any actions, what emotions he will experience, etc. Also try to visualize the color scheme of the drawing and prepare the corresponding simple and colored pencils.

Avoid one of the most common mistakes - trying to start sketching with facial features and after that continue to continue drawing a person. First you need, in proportion, to draw the outline of the whole picture. Mark with dots the area of \u200b\u200bthe sheet in which the drawing will be located. If you intend to add other parts, make sure that there is also enough room for them.

Main steps

Draw the basis of the human figure - the outline. To do this, draw a straight and thin vertical line with a pencil. Divide it equally into eight parts. The first upper segment should correspond to the size of the head. Sketch it. Please note that it is better to make the face shape of a young man slightly square. On the cheeks you can immediately identify the cheekbones. Mark the contours of the neck with two thin lines from the chin, thereby making the transition from head to body.

Designate shoulders and forearms, guided by the intended segments. Choose the desired body position - the guy can sit, stand or perform another action. Depending on this, the body must take appropriate bends.

Mark with dots or small circles the places of the bends of the arms and legs, depending on the position of the body, and proceed to drawing the limbs. Note that the person’s hands reach approximately to the middle of the thigh. The knee and elbow joints of the body are slightly protruding forward, having the shape of a cone with rounded edges.

Start painting your face as soon as the guy’s figure is ready. Contour small and expressive eyes, nose, and lips. Depending on the angle of the face, draw proportional ears. It is easiest to make hair curly, slightly covering the ears. Slightly noticeable strokes can add bristles to the face.

Finish the drawing by adding clothes. As outerwear, it is easiest to draw a loose T-shirt, shirt or jacket with a zipper or buttons. Dress the guy in trendy trousers, jeans or shorts, depending on the general idea. Feet “sandwiched” in sandals, sneakers or boots. When drawing clothes, consider the volume of the human body. As soon as the drawing is ready, carefully erase the excess outline with the eraser.

A small blank - a blank. It will be he who will be the basis of the drawing. For the calculation figure, the size of the head of the figure is taken. Dummy should be equal in height to seven heads. The shoulders are located at a distance of one and a half heads from the top of the figure. The shoulders as well as the hips should be equal in breadth to the two heads. The beginning of the hips is located at a height of three heads from the beginning of the drawing down, and the knees - at the level of five heads. At the stage of creating the blank, nothing needs to be drawn in detail. The main thing is simply to schematically depict how a man should look.

Next, draw a special helper line right in the middle of the figure. All other details will have to be drawn symmetrically to it. Such a line is needed to maintain the balance of the picture. Now you can proceed to the hands of your man. First you need to determine where he will have a navel (usually he is at a distance of two and a half heads from the top). Hands are drawn depending on the navel, because elbows are located at the same level as the navel when the hands are calmly lowered. The entire length of the arm should extend to the middle of the thigh.

In order to turn the final prepared outline of a blockhead into a spectacular man, you need to finish it body  as it happens with ordinary people. This can be achieved using ovals and cylinders. To properly complete the masculine body, knowledge of human anatomy is needed: you need to know which muscle groups where and how are located. Focus on your shoulders, not your hips.

Remove all auxiliary lines. To do this, you can use the usual eraser (the main thing is to be soft). Gradually, the figure, consisting of obscure lines and sketches, acquires a human appearance. Do not forget to make a face. To do this, the lower part of the blank needs to be rounded more and form the chin. You can make your eyes whatever you want: wide open, closed, screwed up. The main thing is to arrange them proportionally. The face is drawn on the same principle as everything body  - using knowledge of anatomy. Using an eraser, permanently wipe off excess parts. And where necessary, circle the outline again. Your man is ready.

The female foot differs from the male grace and softness of the lines, smaller in size, thickness and width.

Helpful advice

When drawing a foot, be sure to consider what state it is in, as the foot in tension and peace will have different lines. This is due to the appearance / disappearance of wrinkles or tension on the skin.
The lateral longitudinal arch, which is located in the middle of the foot, is most easily depicted as a small depression from the heel to the rise. At the same time, remember that from the inside it is much larger than from the outside.
When drawing the details of the foot, its outer contour is not depicted by a straight line, and the line from the heel to the little finger is not a smooth curve either. The thumb is drawn parallel to the ground, while the remaining fingers are depicted somewhat lowered to the ground.

Here I will show and tell how to draw an anime style guy. We will have not only regular guys, but Neki - guys with cat ears.

First, let's look at the basic rules for drawing anime guys.

Basic rules for drawing anime guys

Here are some examples of anime hairstyles that you can use for your anime guys. Also, do not forget to experiment, creating new styles. After all, the hair of an anime guy can be longer, and even very long.   (Click - the picture will become larger)

When drawing eyes for your characters, do not forget that the iris is slightly covered with the upper eyelid. Do not draw the full circle of the pupil inside the eye. Arrows point to the apple eye (white lower part of the eye). Also try not to draw the iris that will touch the lower eyelid.

The dashed line in the figure shows the glare of light. Usually they are painted with one highlight at the top and one at the bottom.

If you draw eyes with a lot of highlights, as with the example of eye 1, then you will get wet eyes with tears or very shiny for anime characters. If you draw a pupil without a black circle, as with the example of eye 4, you will get a character character that conveys indifference or emptiness.

There are many different characters for the guy’s anime character, so practice different styles to convey exactly what you want.

When drawing your character anime guy, also consider his age. I suggest you consider the age difference from 5 to 25 years.

By practicing with the proportions in the sketch, either by lengthening your legs, or by drawing a cute face like the character's chibi, you will certainly achieve the desired result.

In this graph, you can clearly see the main realistic body proportions from a little boy to an adult man.

Now look at the schedule in anime style and compare proportions, anime character and real person. You will see that they are very close.

As you have already noticed, anime guy becomes more slender and taller with age. In some animes, a guy can be up to 9 goals tall!

And now for the cat's ears.
  A guy with cat ears and a tail is drawn simply. From the beginning, you should read a lesson called ““ if you don’t know how to draw cat ears and tails. And then just “join” Nekomimi to the anime guy.

As you can see, these are the same “Cat Girls”, only the XD guys. Nothing complicated.
  Depending on the appearance and face of the guy, he can turn out to be cute, or vice versa - scary and dangerous.

By the way, Eyes can not be drawn at all)
