But in this case I’ve only done the two, splitting it at the waist. Sometimes I split the body into 3 parts, chest, middle and hips. It’s probably easier to draw them in a different colour to the stick figure, so you can differentiate each piece properly. Now we can begin drawing shapes around the skeleton. You could round off the chin, draw a different jaw shape, whichever you like. I’ve chosen your very typical anime jaw-line. I also wanted the pose to be off-balance, as though she were between a jump and a run.ĭraw in the jaw-line. I wanted one of the arms to be up, as though she was holding a strap on a backpack. The stick figure should show the overall pose you are looking to achieve. You can even change the size of the circle if you think the head is too big. If the arms/legs/body are too short/long, don’t be afraid to change it now. I indicate the hands and feet with oval-type shapes.Ĭheck that the proportions are as you want them. Then, I add sticks for the legs and arms. At the bottom of the spine, I add lines to indicate the hips. I usually draw a line for the shoulders in, then draw a curving line for the spine. It will help in determining the proportions you want to achieve. If you find drawing bodies difficult, try using a stick figure to begin with, as a basic skeleton. It doesn’t have to be a perfect circle, I just scribble the rough shape of one ^^ This will be the placement for the head. Hopefully I can show the workings of a few bases in this tutorial, but I’m going to start with a larger anime-styled base.įirst of all, I draw a circle. If any keywords or ideas come to mind, write them down, or sketch the basic idea out.įor me, I’ve chosen: Girl, anime, jump, schoolbag. Usually I have a doll or project in mind, so that generally narrows it down a lot. So before I start to draw a base, I think about the type of base I want to make. Bases come in all shapes, sizes and styles.
