Tips on How to Draw a Human for Kids

There are many kids who are afraid to draw human beings thinking that they have to learn each and every structure, body part, function etc., to completely depict an accurate portrayal of humans. Learning every detail before stepping to draw images is definitely a great move, but not a mandatory one. Kids can produce wonderful human portraits by following the tips that are mentioned below. 

1. Collect every piece of drawing equipment – pens, pencils, erasers, markers, colour supplies, and clean white paper before starting drawing. 
2. Drawing humans is a little complicated when compared to topics like fruits, animals, insects etc. More than these topics, it requires a higher level of focus. As a result, it will be better to draw grids to improve the precision of the picture. 
3. Use a pencil and a ruler to sketch the grids. Divide the paper into four equal parts and start drawing the picture inside the four boxes. 
4. Use a pencil while sketching the outline of humans. Divide the portrait in such a way that it fits inside the four grids. Always remember to sketch the portrait in the centre of the paper. 
5. Always sketch the outline with a pencil. Drawing is an activity which requires great patience. Even a slight mistake can ruin the whole effort. So it will be better to use pencils while sketching the outline of the portrait. Even if there occurs an error, kids can easily erase them and rework them to better their visual quality. 
6. Using a reference image will be helpful. Kids can connect the shape of humans by referring to any other images. 
7. If interested, kids can apply effects by following simple drawing techniques like scribbling, hatching, circling, blending etc., to bring a 3-dimensional appearance to the picture. 
8. The possibility of sketching and scribbling errors is high while drawing humans. Use an eraser and clear all unwanted doodles from the picture and make it appear clean. 
9. After the completion of the outline sketch, use a black or any dark colour marker to draw the outline of the portrait. Dark colours will provide an attractive look to the picture.
10.  Use the right set of colours to fill the skin, hair and outfit of humans. It will be better to use bright colours to fill the outfits. 

Drawing is the artistic representation of mental images and has to be considered a fruit of artistic liberty. There are numerous ways by which objects can be presented through drawing by kids. Patterns and drawing worksheets related to humans will help them improve their ideas about geometric shapes, colours, artistic tools etc. For more kids learning activities like worksheets, essays, poems, etc., visit BYJU’S website.
