The  human Body
c

There are some basic rules for the human body. An average man is about 7 to 8 head high, a woman 6 and a half to 7 head high. But these is just the normal size. In Comics there is a very big variety of persons. As example a dwarf that is 2 or 3 feet high or a supermutant who is 12 to 14 high. The only thing that you have to remember is that youhave to stay in proportions and that the muscles must be in the right place. You get a good feeling for the proportions of the human body if you sketch a lot. Take a sheet of paper an draw the persons you see sit in a restaurant and draw the guest during their actions. If you don't want to draw outside your house than take a mirror and draw yourself. Or get yourself some Lifestyle orBodybuilding magaisines or clothing cataloges. There are some many different ways you can sketch persons. But keep your sketches rough. You don't want to draw everything that you sketch. These sketches are just for the feeling for the proportions of the human body. If you thing you get the proportions right you can move one. A sketch is basically the skelleton that is draw with soe thin lines. Don't draw just one line draw about 5 times for a bone. when you finisehed the skelleton youn draw circlels aroundevery bone.

The easy way to draw the body is to take a sketch and a rubber and draw the muscles over your sketch and erase the lines that are not longer needed.
