Well-proportioned bodies

Look, follow the steps and draw a boy and a girl in your notebook or on a piece of paper. Colour however you like.

The proportion of the human body

To draw a boy, start by drawing a 10cm vertical line. Divide it into 6 equal parts. Then continue:

1 Draw the body's outline: the head in the first part, the torso in the next two parts and the legs in the last three parts.

2 Draw the silhouette of the person.

3 Add details and colour.

To draw a girl, draw a 12cm vertical line. Divide it into 7 equal parts. Then, follow the steps as before.

The human figure has proportions. If we use the head as a unit of measurement, the proportion will be based on how many heads make up the total height. The proportion depends on age, sex, each person's characteristics. In general, the height of girls and boys between the ages of 6 and 12 varies between 6 and 7 heads.

Hand expressions

Our hands allow us to touch, grasp, feel, hold, manipulate, explore, draw, model... and so on. In the plastic arts they are a fundamental part of artistic creation.
