The skewed side view has a slightly more "fashion magazine" type feel and is more flattering to the chest. Using a trapezoidal Cleaned-up version shape will give the back of the basic figure layout a masculine feel. The shoulder blades become a key point in drawing clothing creases.
Clothing rumples around major joints other than the wrists and ankles. Imagining the creases forming in a "coiling" pattern when drawing them will give the muscles volume.
CD The basic stick figure is drawn the same as with a male figure. Sketch in the hair layout from the start. Add clothing. Be sure to draw the collar, even though it will ultimately be Nude sketch hidden by the hair. To achieve this, artists use the head as a reference measurement for the figure overall. The body-to-head ratio refers to how many head lengths measure the figure's total height. A character that is 6 heads tall has a body-to- head ratio.
One that is 8 heads tall has an ratio, and so on. Character with a body-to-head ratio In a character with an body-to- head ratio the character's height is equal to 8 heads piled one on top of the other. Here is a contrast between an character and a character. The differences in head sizes causes 2 characters of identical height to have different body-to-head ratios, affecting the characters' appearances 84 and atmospheres projected.
Use a ruler to plot the body-to-head ratio. The body-to-head ratio is the total height divided by the head length. The body-to-head ratio of the character to the left is- At first glance, these appear to be the same manga page.
Here, the head is bigger than it should. Here, character looks the same When the character first appeared, his as when he first appeared on the body-to-head ratio was but now it is and nothing seems unusual.
The reader senses something odd. The figure's proportions are balanced by adjusting the positions of the Balancing Proportions waist and groin. Characters with the same body-to-head ratio can be All three figures are the same height and their distinguished by the positions of their waists and groins. Sample proportion balancing by It is not necessarily true that all characters must be drawn with to body-to-head ratio the groin positioned halfway along the figure.
Characters with body-to-head ratios of look awkward with their legs taking up half their bodies. A ratio is ideal for boys and girls in the 9 A 4. This is to year range. The groin Is positioned just well for 5 to 8 year suited to preschoolers around 3 to 5. The low of the halfway mark, making the legs olds. This can be used toward high school young elementary middle to high school for boys and girls alike who are aged about 9 student and adult male school students around students, both boys and to 12 years.
This ratio may also be used with and female characters. This Is also because normally, school aged characters leggy boy.
Keeping Male and Female Characters Distinct Male character The chest is usually The groin is located about 1-head usually located length below the halfway along head. For this figure, I Halfway mark moved the groin above the halfway mark, making her a little leggy. Key points in distinguishing male and female characters The woman's eye comes to Adjust the height about the man's chin.
Usually when drawing a couple, it is a good idea to make the female Male character: character shorter than the male. Use about a half or full head Female character: 7.
Adjust the proportional balance Give your male characters broad For both male and female shoulders about twice characters, draw the the head's length to get waist about 1 head's a properly masculine length above the groin.
Aim for characters. Lines for male Lines for female characters tend to characters tend be straight. Use to be curved. Give male characters larger joints and female characters smaller ones. At this stage, the shoulders and pelvis may be drawn the same size for both sexes. The female torso is a triangle. Using large circles for the Using small circles joints will facilitate drawing for the joints will muscular, masculine arms. When you find a character in a work of manga that appeals to you and think you would like to draw it, take a careful look not only at the character's face or clothing, but also the body and head's proportions.
These are the key ingredients to drawing a visually pleasing character. However, basically this means, for example, drawing a seated character standing. J established. Groin Halfway mark Here, I set the established the groin's groin halfway along the position, the torso and figure. You need to know the distance from the head to the posterior to draw this pose.
I To start, draw a stick figure side view to help you understand the The posterior hips from the front is located about pose. Draw a proportion layout using a ratio.
The distance from the knee to the foot is 2. Here we see the final drawing. It has been drawn so that the body is visible from underneath. Normally, the body is not drawn in such detail, but I intended on this serving as reference for studying the relationship between figures and clothing. Position a character's full figure on a sheet ' of paper, like this. In the case of an ratio: 20 em. Note that the head size should include the I.. Check to see what body-to-head ratio you normally use for your characters.
Analyze the proportional balances of a man seated in a chair. The center line. Transform the layout of the man into a woman. Make the shoulders narrower. Slim the waist. The key points here are the shoulder breadth, the girth of the Be careful not to change the positions of the elbows. You could r f. Try to make use sizes and adjust the them to "not rest" 1 of the hip width as is. Draw the details. Use the photo as reference for how the clothing sags or creases form.
Here, your goal is to draw a back view of the boy to the right seated on the floor. What you have is this photo of a woman for reference. The hips groin are critical in drawing seated poses. This boy has a body- to-head ratio of Refer to the body parts in the photo while drawing. Use a block with and back. The key point here is planned for the seated angles that are as faithful to character. The distance from that the wrists and hips rest on those in the photo as possible.
Think of the elbows and waist as visual points of reference. Sketch the left leg. The shoe toe is distant and consequently appears small. Here, a sketch has been made of the leg.
The leg is 2. Include as well lines that are otherwise concealed. Differences in Proportions between Adults and Children When drawing both an adult and a child together, you will first have Adult to sketch layouts of the full figure before dividing up the figures according to the body-to-head ratio. This is crucial toward gaining an understanding of the visual height differences.
Grown woman's foot Round off the joints and omit drawing the tendons. Grown man's hand Child's hand The fingers are thick, and the hand There is practically no difference broad.
Include the joints. Give the back between a boy's and girl's hand. The fingers are stubby, and dimples form at the knuckles.
Grown man's fist Grown woman's fist Child's fist Child's foot Add plenty of dips and The woman's fist is The child's hand is tiny with The child's foot is almost the protrusions and give it an smoother with less dips and short digits, so give the fist same as the grown woman's angular appearance. Whether the proportional balances for men and women, children and adults are different, the elbows are approximately waist level and the wrists, groin level.
Standard male and female body types Align the wrists and groin parallel to the waist line. Shortening the forearms of a ratio character generates a more childlike appearance. To draw a ratio character with his arms linked in back, follow the same rule and bend the arms back at waist level. Characters' facial expressions become more varied and dramatic.
It helps you study how the human body moves. It is useful for not only dynamic action but also commonplace activities and minor movements. Omit the nose. Magnify the eyes' expressiveness. Exaggerate facial features. Exaggerate the mouth. It might trigger nightmares for you!
See how the lay figure has been used to give me a good idea of what a human figure fixed in this pose would look like. The cartoon drawing alongside illustrates just how helpful lay figures can be. The cartoon man was first lightly drawn as a lay figure which was then developed into the finished ink cartoon character.
Lightly draw in pencil your idea of a cartoon man then ink it in when you are satisfied with your rough. Feel free to change the cartoon figure to whatever you want.
Male or female. Why not both? Figure 41 shows my lay figure frozen in a running pose. Note the adjoining cartoon. Draw your version. Dont forget the word balloon. Do the same exercise with figure Figure 43 sets a pose for you to make up a cartoon from. Lay figures are very much better to draw from than photographs or from memory. Raid the housekeeping jar and buy one! Stick with it If you are on a tight budget and cannot afford a lay figure do not worry. There is another way to help yourself.
Use stick figures to form the basic structure of your cartoon figures. First think about the position you want your cartoon character to be in. Then draw it as a simple stick figure to depict the position you require. Then you carefully pad out the stick into a cartoon form.
Figure 44 will show you how this is done. Try this one for practice. Figure 45 of a tubby cartoon chap was first drawn as a stick figure. It was then bloated out to what was needed. Draw your version of this sketch. Put in a word balloon. Who is this guy? What is he talking about? Im sure that you can come up with a sparkling one-liner. To get the hang of drawing figures think about what is involved in the movement of a human.
Use yourself as a model. Of course, if you have a lay figure you have a little slave who will do as you want. Isnt that a happy thought? Ive been looking around for years for one which would do all the housework, cooking and so forth!
Figure 46 depicts a man walking. Note the body action. Use a lay or stick figure to draw your little chap strutting his stuff. Draw from a lay or stick figure a lady kneeling down.
Using a stick figure draw a cartoon man climbing a ladder. From my drawings sketch a lay figure jumping up and down. The top lurkers are undercover police, private detectives, professional master criminals and some cartoonists. How to lurk Successful lurking requires acting ability. You need to be furtive without looking as if you are.
You must get this bit right otherwise you could well feel some old ladys walking stick across your shoulders as she shrieks PERVERT with the power of a fog horn. This wouldnt be nice but might provide a good gag after you have escaped the hostile crowd who would quickly gather.
The trick is to appear to be doing something quite different from your undercover cartooning of various victims. You could, for instance, sit in your car and appear to be totally bewildered by something whilst you craftily jot down the passers-by who will most certainly ignore you.
If you happen to be on foot, a safe bet is to pretend to scan the sky for a possible sudden change in the weather, UFO or unseen highflying bird. When everyone is looking up you glance down and deftly pencil a few rough cartoons.
My favourite ploy is to sit either inside or outside a cafe, enjoy a drink and gaze about like a short sighted person or one who is quite dotty, blighted with a nervous twitch with a tendency to go cross-eyed from time to time. You then become embarrassing to look at. This never fails. People do not come near you. They never notice the sketch pad on your knee or hidden amongst the plates of cake.
Drawing from the inside of a car works very well. People cant see what you are doing when you look down at your sketch. Figure 48 is a cartoon which was produced this way. Figure 49 showing two ladies having a chat was another one. Study the help lines then sketch your versions of these two cartoons. You will soon get the hang of doing this with practice and it will provide you with dozens of cartoon figures. I watched a live TV golf programme. My eye was caught by spectators in the background.
You can see these in figures 50 and Note the long shorts, shapeless shirts and golf caps. See what you can come up with.
Like millions of other folk I watch football matches. It seems to me that far too many professional footballers are unsporting. Some play act being badly hurt, in order to get their opponent sent off plus a free kick. I caught one of these jokers on my sketch pad. Have a look at figure A so-called pop singer held my attention for a few minutes on one TV show.
My cartoon version of her appears in figure Notice how eyes have been drawn. The mouth was exaggerated. Try drawing another girl singer this way. Newspapers can help you If you are housebound or pushed for time, try using your newspaper for creating cartoon characters.
Figures 54 and 55 are my examples of doing this. Notice that the chap in figure 54 is life-like whilst the fellow in figure 55 has been exaggerated a lot. Its up to you how you draw the characters you want. Drawing cartoons from different publications is a good way quickly to churn out an army of varied characters.
You can sketch figures as you watch TV , carry on talking to friends or as you simply relax. Give it a try after drawing your versions of figures 54 and The soap-box orator, figure 56, requires a word balloon.
A small job for you, mate. Lurk in your supermarket A supermarket is a great place for a cartoonist to lurk about in. Its easy to hide away somewhere when there is so much activity going on and with people being occupied with their shopping.
The lady featured in figure 57 represents a species almost always seen out shopping. She is large, cheerful and delighted to be let loose in a supermarket. Note how the tight curls have been drawn by using a controlled scribble. Draw a pencil rough of this figure then ink it in. Both of my victims used for figure 58 were spotted in a supermarket.
The old lady was rushing about at high speed. I wondered how she would be on roller blades. The stout gentleman was looking for something. He reminded me of a darts player so I drew him as such. These two examples make the point of using imagination to create cartoon characters from ordinary victims. The help lines for these cartoons are like most of my first pencil roughs. Try to get into the habit of drawing often.
Then you will soon become quick and competent. See how fast you can sketch your versions of my characters. Draw a male and female cartoon figure from life. Lurk in a supermarket to draw unsuspecting victims. From TV sketch two original cartoon figures. The differences are small. Kids have larger heads, smaller bodies and dress like children.
The quickest way of learning how to draw them is to observe carefully, then draw fast pencil roughs. Youngsters tend to move about a lot smarter than us adults. Do not lurk about school gates in order to watch and sketch children or you could be in big trouble.
Try to observe your friends or relatives children. In any event there are always plenty of kids around during school holidays so finding victims is no real problem. Capture moods After drawing examples in previous chapters you should be aware of the facial features which denote moods. But just to refresh your brain I will go over the three most important features to concentrate on. The mouth line, eyebrows and eyes can all point to the mood of a person.
Study figure In this illustration you will see how the faces of a boy and girl have been used to reflect different moods. Look at the top line. The first cartoon shows a surprised expression.
Mouth is oshaped, eyebrows are arched with the pupils centred in a round circle. The middle sketch is of a happy face. Mouth line curves slightly upwards, eyebrows are arched and eyes look normal. The top right face expresses a big laugh or great joy. Smiling, open mouth, eyes shut, eyebrows raised. Now move down to the second row. The face on the left depicts anger or a lot of irritation.
Mouth arches down as do the eyebrows. By drawing the top eyelids angled down the mood is further reinforced. The middle expression is one of neutrality. Here the cartoon character looks as if he does not quite know whats going on. The mouth is straight, eyebrows slightly arched with eyes rather wide. The right hand face shows an up and down mouth line, startled eyes and arched eyebrows.
What can this mood be? What if this little lad was feeling completely baffled? This might suggest just that. The girl, left, third row down, appears to be rather doubtful about something. Notice that she is looking out of the corner of her eyes. Her mouth is just slightly down. No eyebrows are visible. The middle expression reveals a little worried look. Mouth down, eyes upwards and looking right. The end drawing shows a big smile along with screwed up eyes. She might look like this if she is very pleased or if she is gloating a bit.
Move to the bottom row of faces. The girls face on the left depicts dismay or irritation. The middle face reveals happiness coupled with a laugh. The right hand face shows pleasure. There are, of course, a hundred other expressions, some obvious but many are very subtle. Only through practice will you be able to jot down exactly which mood, feeling or emotion your cartoon character has. To begin with simply use obvious moods such as those illustrated in figure Copy the moods drawn but try to install them in cartoon faces which you have invented.
Watch the little perishers It is a good idea to take time to watch children. See how they react to each other. Ask yourself what they are up to. Wonder what they are thinking, feeling, expressing or appearing to do. Figure 61 is my cartoon drawing of two youngsters who are trying to scare each other but also appear to worry about themselves should their bluff topple over into a bit of a fight.
Use a lay figure, or the help lines, to draw these two lads actually trying to thump each other whilst worrying about getting hurt. Use thought balloons if necessary. A small toddler escaping from his mother prompted the cartoon drawing for figure I simply had the tiny tot speaking to another kid who gives him moral support.
Notice how the expressions have been drawn. Draw your version of two small children in a similar scene. Keep your ears open When we get older we mix with adults and tend not to listen too much to children. But as a cartoonist, you should make an effort to record mentally what children say. Listen to different age groups communicating with each other.
It might be a mind opener for you! Figure 63 illustrates typical banter between a boy and girl. The battle of the sexes starts early nowadays! Use a lay figure or the help lines to create your own version of this picture.
Think out different words and thoughts which suggest an early impending battle. When you have done this look at figures 64, 65 and 66 to repeat the exercise. Action kids As mentioned previously kids are more active than most adults.
Lets hope that sport comes to play a bigger part in school timetables without which we wouldnt have future sporting heroes in the multi-million pound earning bracket. Figures 67, 68, 69 and 70 depict children setting about different sporting activities. Notice how the action has been frozen. Learn to use action lines, expressions and exaggeration of some movements.
Draw your versions of all these cartoons but create your own little people. Then take a break. Have a glass of plonk, mug of tea or a wander round the shopping centre.
Draw a cartoon showing a little kid looking petrified. Make a funny sketch of two kids playing a sport not illustrated in this chapter. How have you got on with birds up to now, the feathered sort? You feed them now and again? Bird watching could help you to become a good animal cartoonist. You may even earn money with this skill. In any event its good clean fun. Cartooning birds requires the same drawing abilities needed for sketching human animals.
You have to learn how a bird is put together. This is not hard as most birds have roughly the same bits and pieces. If you think of a birds head as being round or oval and the body the same you will be on the right track for all birds. Human-like birds You have a lot of freedom when you cartoon animals.
You can give them human strengths and weaknesses, have them talk, think or even wear clothes. Figure 72 is based very loosely on a thrush. You may have seen these birds stalking your lawn for worms. Notice how much I have exaggerated this bird.
See how the rough sketch shows a circle for the head transposed on to an oval for the body. This is a good system with which to start all bird drawings. Note how wings, wing feathers and tail have been sketched.
The gliding rook, fig 73, is again exaggerated from the real thing. See how I have left white lines to depict wing feathers. Mechanical drawing focuses on the realization of robotic parts, machinery, automobiles, cranes, motorcycles, airplanes, helicopters and all kinds of industrial elements.

A rubber-based metal ruler also reduces the risk of your artwork slipping as you cut. This is where the pop folds away from you. From the centre fold guide, draw a diagonal line on a new layer. Copy the layer twice and position the lines underneath at equal distances. Conceal the tabs by gluing them away from you behind the artwork.
Copy that layer and so they are top-heavy in the canvas. Allow a little time for the glue to dry. Link both layers and folded in half. At this stage you may need to trim and rework the shapes of your pops if they are too big. Other elements from the original artwork have also been added to the base.
