Drawing a baby (part 1)
For start drawing anything you want, first of all you have to find the right place for each thing you want to draw.
You have to make a sketch, but it doesn't have to be perfect. Don't make hard lines, it have to be light for you be able to erase the wrong lines after.
The body shape of baby or of a person will depend of your creativity. (If you are trying to draw a baby in other pose, remember that baby's body is long as 5 times his head).
After drawing his body, you can start to think about the baby's face. For the baby's face stay symmetrical you can trace 2 lines, one in the middle (from up part of head to the nose) and other traced perpendicularly where will stay the eyes
After tracing this lines you can begin to place the nose, eyes and mouth.
REMEMBER: when you are drawing the eyes, you have to measure how long they are, and in the middle of them have to fit one eye.
(I'm going to make a tutorial about how to draw differents eyes styles).
Then you can move to the body again and erase the wrong lines which remained there.
(Is good to have many lines in a sketch because probably one of these many lines is right).
Here I just decided to draw a bow. I did it in the same way as the body. At first I made a sketch.
And here I just erased the wrong lines in bow.
And here I erased the lines which helped me to draw parts of the face.
Then you can draw some other details. In this part I drew the hands.
(I'm going to make a tutorial soon about how to draw hands).
And finally here it is. In the next parts I will show how to paint it.
