Step 1: Put a dot wherever you want the head of your character to be. It is NOT necessary (at least not for me), to put a dot on other limbs or objects. The dot is made as a sense of direction only. Step 2: Draw a circle around the dot. For a faraway head, the circle should be 4 squares long. And heads get bigger as the head itself get's closer. Step 3: Draw a neck, as referenced above. Step 4: Draw a chest. For women, especially if you're including breast details, make it big. It should be skinny and slim for men, unless they are buffed. Step 5: Draw the torso. Skinny and pinched for women, full and slender for men unless buffed. Step 6: Draw a circle under the torso, where the rump/buttocks would be. This makes a place for the legs to go. Step 7: Draw the legs, you know how dolls look, right? Try and replicate that. Make 2 elongated ovals. DON'T fill in the pinched part of the leg, since it serves as a knee. Step 8: Draw arms just as you would draw legs, but bend them if you'd like.
