Guidelines To Create Better Male And Female Nude Drawings

By Raymond Johnson


The reward of art is not the achieving of fame or success, but rather the quest for self satisfaction. Being an artist allows one freedom to liberate their mind, although there are few challenges involved such as understanding certain techniques. However, if an individual truly desires to learn, there are tips for making proper male and female nude drawings.

All through the history of art, one prominent feature has been the human figure. It can be difficult for many people to sketch these images in such a way as to achieve perfect proportions because man's form is considered to be among the more complex because when speaking of the ideal body, symmetry is key with both sides being balanced identically and the torso and limb bones being specific lengths in comparison to each other. These ratios can have variations based on influences like gender, age, ethnic background and genetic factors.

The first thing to be decided is the figure's positioning, which will give an idea of the best orientation for the paper. An important thing to remember is to use the positive space of the composition to one's best advantage. Generally, a standing figure will be more appropriately done using portrait mode, while a prone body would benefit by being drawn in landscape.

In sketching, making alterations to certain proportions may lead to the subject looking somewhat disfigured, though it also has the potential to represent individuality. This is particularly true of the human form as it is designed very specifically. There is a distinct indication in how the torso, head, pelvis, shoulders, feet, hands, and limbs all come together.

An articulated artist's mannequin which an be put in natural poses is recommended when learning to sketch people. It is an efficient guide tool for understanding that the body is basically a series of geometric shapes like elliptical limbs, rectangular or trapezoidal torso, and oval shaped head. These models also show the placement of major joints and the ways in which they move.

In the sketching of figures, gender is a highly influential factor. One will truly realize the intricate differences in the masculine and feminine physiques when conducting a thorough study in human anatomy. This is most prominent in features such as the buttocks, waist, and chest where women tend to exhibit softer curves and men are typically more angular.

When adding the details to one's sketch, features such as the muscles in the biceps, triceps, forearms, abdomen, chest, thighs and calves are going to differ depending on the subject's gender. Keep in mind that the definition on a woman tends to be less pronounced than it is on a man, giving her a more feminine and gentler appeal. When shading in to create detailing, consider the light source and how some areas are less illuminated and shadowed.

The very basis of human anatomy is incredibly artful and extremely expressive. The evidence is clear not only in how the body is put together, but in the range of variations between masculine and feminine figures as far as tone, shape and definition are concerned. Remembering a couple of key fundamentals can help a person improve their abilities and grow more adept at creating art.
