Answer 1

ok first of all just try drawing people from imagination, then you can draw them as much as you want. carefully observe the physical features of other people (lol just don't be caught staring at them) so you know how someone's eyes, noes, etc look.

when you start drawing people from life start with a family member, they're usually the easiest because they look similar to you so you shouldn't have too much trouble, its great practice.

Look at other people's illustrations of people, especially in books, and observe what you like about their style.

know the basic rules of shading, proportion, etc/

...most common way is to start with the very basic details of a person, like an egg shape for a face and a stick figure for a human frame... slowly add more details..

Answer 2

I had a phenemenal drawing teacher for regular drawing (perspective) and life drawing. I could draw anything, except faces. Then I found a fantastic head drawing teacher. By the end of the semester, I could not only draw people, I could do a pastel in 20 minutes. Perhaps you could find someone at a local art school, two year college, nightschool, or ??? similar institution. There are also many books at the art stores and possibly at your local library. It would give you a place to start. All best wishes!!

Answer 3

Sounds like a problem I had, never could draw REAL people so I drew fantasy and things that had no set size or shape. So what I did after incapability of making life drawings, was practise and get advice from my art teacher. Try looking at people or imagining them as a whole bunch of lines of all sorts (curved, straight, rounded etc.) And since lines are so easy to draw, you should have no trouble after a while at drawing people as a bunch of lines. Just remember to practise!

Answer 4

A lot of people have problems drawing people because they're afraid they wont be able to get the likeness of the person. Don't try drawing anyone close to you yet. Go on Google Images and just search for people or celebrities and try drawing them.

And don't be generic.

Answer 5

Try to ask someone to pose for you. It's always better to draw from life than from pictures. Pictures tend to flatten everything and tweak proportions a bit. Anyhow, drawing the figure is essentially breaking down the body and limbs into simpler shapes and focusing on their own perspective, size relationship, angle, etc. You need to break it down so it's easyer to visualise what is going on in THREE D.
As it was mentionned before, diving in books will help you leaps and bounds if you're serious about it (Hogarth, etc.).

Answer 6

Dont think of drawing people as people- they will rarely look like the person you want to represent. instead, think of what you are drawing as shapes and shading, and how these shapes and shading interact with one another. Just a suggestion
