Cheeseboy Study Notes - Female

Description

Originally, a friend asked for help with the anatomy of a girl she drew, and so I started drawing things and writing things out. Then I thought you guys might like to see, so I did more and expanded upon things. <3

Sorry for the lack or presentation, but I don't really see the need of doing that. If you're studying, it's srs bsnss.

These are a couple of things that I know so far. IMPORTANT: These are pretty much guidelines. They are not rules. Also, do not attempt to draw with rulers EVERY TIME (unless it's perspectives). You want to give it a fresh organic look, not a stale super geometric look.

Also, this will not make you the master of drawing women. No way in hell. You need practice. I know it's cliche, but you need to. Train your hand to move a certain way over and over so you can draw perfect eyes or circle or whatever. Observe your surroundings. Train your eye to be able to see your picture and pick up what is wrong and what is right.
Speaking of which, most of these I learnt from reading Andrew Loomis books. If you're serious about getting better, google his name and look for pdf files or something. They're boring, but learning is serious business, so it need not be flashy and dressed up. If you're serious about improving, you'll keep reading.

P.S. You can download the original file if you want. Then you can see my handwriting clearer. <3

Anyways, hope you guys enjoy! :D

... I thought the face was 5 eyes wide... oh well, also, a good thing to add if you ever do another one, the bottom of the pelvis is essentially the half way point on the body. So, top of the head to the crotch should be the same as the rest of the legs.
