Start with a vertical center line and a simple head circle/oval
Add a ribcage oval and a pelvis oval (pelvis slightly wider than the ribcage)
Mark the shoulder line and hip line using light guidelines
Sketch the torso ribcage-to-pelvis shape with smooth curves
Place the collarbones, then lightly map the chest and waist
Block in the neck and shoulders with gentle slopes
Draw the upper arms as tapered cylinders from shoulder to elbow
Add elbows and forearms with tapered shapes toward the wrists
Sketch hands with basic shapes first (palm oval/box, finger blocks)
Draw the thighs as tapered shapes from pelvis to knees
Place knees slightly forward of the thighs’ centerline
Draw calves as tapered shapes from knees to ankles
Sketch feet with a heel block and toe shape, keeping ankles narrower than calves
Indicate the torso joints: chest centerline, waist narrowing, pelvis tilt
Add the female silhouette cues: slightly narrower shoulders, more defined waist, wider hips
Define the chest and abdomen with light contour lines (avoid harsh edges)
Add subtle forms for breasts using two soft, symmetrical shapes over the chest
Place the nipples and bra/upper-chest guideline lightly (optional)
Sketch hips and upper legs with smooth transitions from pelvis
Refine the waist-to-hip curve with a gradual taper then expansion
Clean up the outer contour of the body (torso, limbs) with confident lines
Add basic muscle/skin flow lines: collarbone line, under-chest curve, hip crease, knee/ankle lines
Draw the spine flow with a gentle S-curve (lightly)
Adjust proportions: longer legs relative to torso, natural shoulder-to-hip spacing
Erase construction lines and redraw the final outline
Add clothing or body details (if needed) using the underlying form as guides
Use light shading for volume: chest, abdomen, hips, outer thighs, inner thighs, arms, calves
Add shadow edges where forms overlap (under bust, under arms, between legs)
