Hi, Tom here with my new How to Draw video
from Circle Line Art School, How to Draw People in a Landscape
The first step is to draw an oval for
a head, just a sketch, next draw the neck
it needs to be almost as wide as the
head, now draw an oval for the upper body
shape, at least three times bigger than
the head, now draw another oval for the
lower body shape, next to the upper legs
almost as long as the upper body, now
draw two simple circles for knees, now
draw the lower legs, similar in shape to
the upper legs, maybe a bit thinner
Next draw two basic shapes for feet
not too big not too small, now draw two
circles for shoulders
this will make the shoulders wider which
is important, now draw the upper arms,
not quite as big as the upper legs
Next to the lower arms, and then add the
hands, the hands need to starts below the waist
Now that we have our first basic figure
in proportion, we can draw a horizontal
line and then across on this line for
the vanishing point, now if you want to
draw another person, the same height as
the first person that we drew, we need
two diagonal lines from this vanishing point
one that goes to the top of the head and
then won the goes to the feet
anywhere between these two diagonal
lines we can draw a vertical line and
put another person in, so I'll draw a
person here in the same style and
proportion as the first person, basically
lots of ovals, I'll try to make sure
the head is not too big, now if I draw
another cross on the left-hand side of
the horizon and then two more diagonal
lines that touch the top and the feet of
the second figure, I can now draw another
figure between these two diagonal lines
at any point, so I'll just draw the basic
oval shapes as we did for the first
figure, now we have three figures that all
relate to each other within the space
that we have created we have created, through
using perspective lines and daagonal lines
now hopefully by using these diagonal
lines going to the horizon we have
placed the three figures to create some
sense of space between the figures, each
of these people is very basic but we're
looking to try to get the proportions
roughly right
next I'll have some clothes, some loose
lines to indicate the clothes so they
look like people who could move in their
clothes, I try not to add too many
details at this stage because it's not
necessary, I can choose what they will be
wearing and that will help create a
style to the drawing, a sense of mood to
the drawing which I think I want to
create in this image
later in this drawing I'll use some pen
and ink to make this picture a tonal
drawing, I want to add a simple
background landscape using black ink and a brush
I think I'll draw just a range of hills that go
behind the three figures, along the
horizon line and I'll fill that in with
some black ink and then I'll add some
water black ink to make a tonal range
of hills or mountains and then probably
add a series of clouds in the sky and maybe
a lake or the sea on the left-hand side
of the picture, at this stage I will speed up
the drawing a little bit so that you can see
how the landscape develops over time,
