Drawing female figures is an everlasting theme in cartoons, animation and illustrations.
I looked up image websites on the Internet recently. I found out thal professionals and amateurs are complaining it is difficult to draw the female body well.
Although there are not big distinctions between drawing female figures and male figures and other roles, this question continues to remains, because too many people enjoy drawing female figures. In two dimensional space, female figures are expressed with curves, along with complex cylinders to reveal stereoscopic feelings. If we do not understand fundamental principles and compositions, we will certainly be unable to draw them well.
This book starts with the full-length portrait of figures, introducing how to draw up lovely faces of girls and bodies with female characteristics. We approach the issue from the whole to parts, and from parts to the whole. We illustrate them in the whole and part perspectives. This method might look difficult in the beginning. But by observing parts, we will have an intellectual knowledge of the whole, and inspire readers to ponder over the whole. Observe and think, and draw on the basis of theories (re-composition and expressions) - this is the only way to improve drawing.
Drawings are made after thinking. Understand this, and we will make progress fast.
It will be wonderful if we look at issues neglected previously and issues to be scrutinized at a different angle.
We might lose some joys from spontaneous creation, if we think too much about detail first. But if we keep making spontaneous drawings, we will not make much progress no matter how long we are engaged in it (of course, it is important to draw following our instincts. But we need to differentiate between spontaneity and deliberation.)
