Help i cant draw full body images!!

[Werewolf_Mal]

Okay, I've been drawing anime-style for...5 years. And I STILL can't draw a full body! either the head is too big, or it looks really awkward. Can someone help me?

It would help you to learn more about human proportion. Try to remember that the shoulders are usually twice the width of the head, that may help you. Also, look at your own head and body in the mirror and observe how long or wide certain parts are compared to others.

don't worry. i've been drawing anime since the first or second grade when sailor moon came out. i didn't start getting good at bodies until the seventh grade. just be sure not copy the body's they put put out. they are usually skinnier so some porportions will be lost. so don't try to base it on that, just look at yourself and others. be the artist that can do everything not just anime. then you will understand and you can begin to take away those porportions of maybe fat or muscle. it'll come just draw everyday 3nodding

Be EXTRA observant of the people around you, because that's where you're going to get most of your knowledge of human anatomy. But don't like... stare at people obsessively or anything. sweatdrop I would also recommend a good figure drawing class if your school offers it and if they don't, go to your local bookstore and find a figure drawing book. I would definitely also recommend drawing in a more realistic style, because once you have that down, it'll be easy to simplify the lines and draw the anime. biggrin

Ultimately, just observe people and experiment. Don't forget to use shapes for different parts of the body, like this:
