You can draw faces now after
looking at the Drawing Portraits section, so lets
continue down past the head and draw the rest of the
body! Artists call drawing the human body
Figure Drawing,
because you're drawing the human body, or
figure. In the
Figure Drawing

body, and how to draw a three dimensional human body in

hands! Well, you'll learn how to draw hands -
and
feet too! We'll take drawing the body from
the beginning, we'll start simple, then work our way
