How to Draw People Cont. By Reagan Seye 3. This is when I start finalizing details. Notice the difference between how dark the pencil looks when I’m adding in final details and when I added the details that might make it to the final sketch. When it comes to drawing this specific hairstyle, I use small curved lines that vary in length. Drawing using only curved lines or angular lines doesn’t look natural unless it’s a deliberate part of your style. But using a mix of curved and angular can be a good mix making someone look more natural in a drawing. They kind of look like wifi signals. When I finish drawing a certain part of the drawing like the skirt for example, I shade it in to add contrast between the clothes. People say you should only shade in one direction but in my opinion, it depends on what you are trying to do. If you color in a drawing using contrast with colors can also make your art look more unique. I don’t have much experience with color theory but it can play a big part when it comes to coloring characters and many other creations. But in this case, I’m only sketching a person, not coloring them. 4. Drawing other details like hands come with practice. I do use square and rectangular shapes to draw hands, and my art style is cartoony so, I don’t worry about a bunch of detail. It really does depend on what your art style is. I drew this outfit because I recently started reading an animation book that had some people in coats and suits. Drawing people, animals, and everyday objects comes down to simplifying things into basic shapes. A part of the reason why it may look easy to draw when you watch someone else is because they are confident about their art style. My art style was influenced by a lot of artists on Youtube and Disney animators. My art style is still being adjusted now. Being confident and being open to new techniques also is an important skill. I hope this how to draw article helped anyone looking for help with drawing as a hobby or future career.
