How to draw Barbie

Who is the most famous doll of all time? Of course, it's Barbie, a doll invented in the middle of the 20th century and known all over the world. Many of you may have played or are now playing with this doll. And in today's drawing lesson, the team of Drawingforall.net decided to show you how to draw Barbie step by step.

Step 1

Barbie is made taking into account almost all the features of the human body. So let's draw the skeleton of an ordinary human. Sketch out the head in the form of an oval. A little lower depict the spine, on which the thorax and pelvis are located. Recall that the woman's pelvis are slightly wider than the shoulders, unlike the pelvis of a man.

Step 2

Sketch two lines that intersect at the center of the face, where the bridge of the nose is located. Now draw the neck in the form of a cylinder. Next, outline the torso, which narrows at the waist. Sketch out the arms in the form of cylinders and shoulders in the form of circles. Next draw the legs, which are wide in the hips and taper to the knees.

A little lower we draw a small nose and plump lips. At the end of the step draw the outlines of the dress and shoes. So, if your Barbie sketch looks like this, then you are doing everything right.

In order to give your Barbie drawing more volume, we need to add shadows. They are drawn using hatching, and lie in areas where the light does not fall. To darken the shadows, simply add some more layers of hatching over the first layer.
