How To Sketch A Body?

Start with a simple gesture line for the pose

Block in the head, ribcage, and pelvis as basic shapes

Connect the shapes with a spine line

Add lines for shoulders, arms, hips, and legs

Check the overall proportions before adding details

Mark the joints at elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles

Refine the torso, limbs, and neck shapes

Add hands and feet with simple forms first

Adjust the pose for balance and flow

Draw the outer contour of the body

Add muscle and body mass where needed

Sketch facial features and hair if desired

Clean up construction lines

Darken the final lines and erase guides
