To give you more than a straight line to work with, duplicate the second head at the top (neck area) twice and place them on either side of the second head. Say the character is jumping and has her/his feet point downwards, you'd use the entire head to define the length, but, if she/he's standing, feet flat on the ground, cut the head in half to define the height. The last one (where the feet would be) is the more annoying one. Generally the size of the human head can fit eight times (head excluded) in the human body, sometimes seven is the better number, but feet are excluded in that case. Lookit! You just figured out the height of your character with that. Now duplicate this head eight times and then place them in a straight line underneath the original head shape you drew. The great thing in illustrator is that you can add anchor points, so if you add two that are roughly at the top edge of the jawline, you'll only need to push them slightly inwards to define the jaw indent. Start by drawing a head, a simple oval with slight indents around the jaw area to define it a bit more. Step 1: Body Base: Height and Shoulder Widthīefore we begin drawing out the body types, we will start by creating a base that we'll flesh out with the body types in the following steps. We will start out with six female body types and then follow that up with six male body types. We will be using simple shapes to draw the body type out over it, such as rectangles, triangles and irregular quadrilaterals. In this tutorial I will be showing you useful guidelines you can follow to draw common body types for both males and females. Last month we talked about how to draw different expressions and emotions.
