Well, I've seen often in tutorials and other such guides that one should start off with a "stick figure," then shapes, and then details. Thus suggesting that the body should be drawn before anything else. So far, I've been drawing "freehand:" that is, drawing the eye first and the body around it. I've found that the stick person thing doesn't work for me-- or have I just not tried hard enough? It's hard to apply proportions and features to an already-drawn body, I find. So, is it worth it for me to just practice with this method, and hopefully get better as I go along? Is there another way, such as just drawing out the general idea of the body before anything? Or is freehand okay, as long as I master it? So many questions... gonk
(Oh, by the way, I'm not so much a new member, but a member who joined a loong time ago, and finally decides to post now. xd sweatdrop So that's why you haven't seen me around)

I also draw the general curve of the body first...Then, especially if I'm doing fullbody on a limited amount of paper, I estimate how big the head should be: usually about 1/6 of the entire body, although I'm probably not very accurate. I just make it fit later on.. ^ ^;; Anyways, after drawing the head (in a sort of curved rectangular shape), and the direction, I draw a line representing the shoulders and their direction. Then comes the waist, about 1.5 head sizes down. Then...half-assed arms and legs that don't really matter, and I have a stick figure. biggrin What I always have to be careful about, however, is when I add details to the face. If I freehand a head, the proportions are usually correct, but when I draw the outside of the head first, I have to make sure I don't make the details too small or my re-outline of the head to small either. Somehow I almost always end up with a tiny head and have to redraw it. >__<
Eh. I just felt like typing all that...even if no one will read it... biggrin
