Description All you need is 2 triangles pointed towards each other and over lapping. This automatically creates shoulders, waist and hip. Very quick, very simple but a heck of a lot more information than the typical stick figure drawings you see.

When you have the "skeleton" looking pretty good you can have fun with it by adding a face, hair and clothes. I'll talk about drawing the face, hands, feet, hair and clothing for the next 2 months.



Look at these when trying to add muscle and skin:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've looked at many how to draw books for people and animals over the years but they usually target people who have drawn a great deal or taken lessons and frustrate the true beginners with the drawing of odd abstract shapes. If the odd shape looks off it just messes up the whole drawing down the line.

This is for people don't normally draw and have never really tackled drawing people. There is more than one way to approach this but for me, I use triangles. We all know what triangles are and could always use the practice of drawing nice triangles and straight lines.
