Drawing People Studying: Beginner to Advanced Tips
1. Planning: Understanding the Sitting Posture
“If you have a plan, everything will be done,” to draw a person sitting and studying beautifully, you must first grasp the basic sitting posture. Observe real people, pictures, or watch videos to learn about different poses:
- Sitting upright: A common posture in classrooms, showing focus and seriousness.
- Leaning sideways: A more relaxed posture, which can express contemplation, tiredness, or drowsiness.
- Sitting cross-legged: A posture common in Eastern culture, showing calmness and concentration.
2. Building the Sketch: First Strokes
After grasping the sitting posture, we will move on to the sketching stage. This is an important step to create the foundation for the painting. Use light, soft strokes to sketch the frame, the position of the head, limbs, and basic details.
3. Adding Details: Wholehearted Focus
“Details create perfection,” add small details to the painting to create more liveliness:
- Clothing: Shirts, trousers, skirts, Ao Dai, uniforms… are all suitable choices to depict a person studying.
- Desk: Draw a desk, books, notebooks, pencils, computers… to add depth to the painting.
- Expressions: Eyes, smiles, facial expressions… all contribute to expressing the mood of the person studying.
4. Coloring: Breathing Life into the Painting
“Color is the soul of art,” choose appropriate colors to express mood, space, and create highlights for the painting:
- Bright colors: Express joy, excitement, and dynamism.
- Warm colors: Express contemplation, thought, and depth.
- Contrasting colors: Create highlights and attract the viewer’s attention.
5. Creating Shadows: Adding Depth to the Painting
“Shadows highlight the light,” creating shadows is an important step to add depth to the painting. Use contrast techniques to create shadows, highlight details, and create a sense of realism.
6. Adding Lines: Completing the Painting
The final step is to add delicate strokes to complete the painting. Use thin, soft strokes to draw small details such as hair, eyes, mouth, folds of clothing… creating harmony and subtlety.
