Here are my personal tips and tricks for drawing. I highly recommend drawing lightly first, that way if you mess up, it’s easier to erase the mistake. It also helps with finalizing your character.
For heads:
First, lightly draw a circle. This is basically the main part of the persons skull, just without the jaw. Draw a vertical line to represent the middle of the face. The draw a line slightly below the circle to represent where the eyes and nose will be. Where the two lines meet is where the nose will be placed.
The horizontal line can also help with placing the ears.
With this, a jaw can be made. There are manny ways to make a jaw. Here are some examples:
With this, the eyes and other features can be drawn in.
For bodies:
I first draw an action line. It helps with how you want the character to be positioned. An easy one is, of course, when the character is just standing or striking a confident pose.
Then add two horizontal lines, this will help with creating the torsos. Add two ovals, it’s basically the ribcage.
With the torso pretty much done, it’s time for the limbs. The best way to do this is to draw them like stick figure limbs and then draw rectangles as the upper and lower limbs and circles where they connect. Hands are represented by triangles.
I really do hope that this helps. If you have questions, just ask!
