Additional Studies of a Woman fixing her hair. I have been doing these drawing studies out of the Famous Artist Cartoon Course Lesson 7 Drawing Pretty Girls because drawing women has always been a weakness of mine.

In todays study out of the Famous Artist Cartoon Course Lesson 7 “Drawing Pretty Girls” We are looking at the final component of a Pretty Girl Drawing The Legs.

“The man on the street will never know how much lies behind your simple girls drawing.” This is a drawing Study I did from the Famous Artist Cartoon Course Lesson 7 “Drawing Pretty Girls.” The purpose of this study is to pose the figure with the correct tilt of the shoulder and hips. If the right shoulder is down the right hip will be up as long as the figure’s weight is center on the right foot.

Drawing Studies from the Famous Artist Cartoon Course Lesson 7 “Drawing Pretty Girls” We are still examining the hips first in a seat pose and then using drapery to accentuate the shape of the hips.

These two drawing studies are from the Famous Artist Cartoon Course Lesson 7 “Drawing Pretty Girls” The purpose of these studies are to draw the hips on girls in motion and various positions

I am now onto the next component (according the the Famous Artist Cartoon Course) of a good pretty girl drawing the hips. In this study the drawings on our right hand side are the idealized cartoon version of the hips.

This study from Famous Artist Cartoon Course Lesson 7 “Drawing Pretty Girls” Again we are looking at accentuate the Breasts with the design of the clothing.
Posted by Sam Kressin in Drawing Pretty Girls
This drawing study is out of the Famous Artist Cartoon Course lesson 7 “Drawing Pretty Girls.” This study is looking at how the breast affect the clothing and how the breasts can be accentuated with the placement of the folds and pull on the drapery.
Posted by Sam Kressin in Drawing Pretty Girls
Today is the day everyone has been waiting for drawing the Breasts. I am working through the Famous Artist Cartoon Course lesson 7 “Drawing Pretty Girls.” In this study we establish on the average woman the nipple line of the breast falls just below two head lengths from the top of the figure. The course recommends moving the nipple line up to exactly two head lengths in order to “idealize” the figure. The nipple line falling just below two head lengths from the top of the figure does seem to be an accurate measurement on most people I’ve drawn from life and has been a useful measurement to memorize.

Work in progress for Your Web Designer I’ll tight this guy up and tie him down tomorrow. This the quick sketch I did today inspired by an Al Feldstein Weird Fantasy Cover. If you don’t know who Feldstein is I suggest you learn! My recommendation is to pick up a copy of FELDSTEIN: The Mad Life and Fantastic Art of Al Feldstein! and start reading. A copy of The EC Archives: Weird Fantasy Volume 1 will get you on the right track as well.
