−	#Sketch a circle near the top of your paper to make the head. Lightly press your pencil on the paper so you can go back later and adjust the shape of the head. For now, the circle will be a basic guide so you can get the proportions of the female on paper.<ref>https://youtu.be/05dAIyn2IiU?t=189</ref>	+	#Sketch a circle near the top of your paper to make the head.

−	#*If you have trouble [[Draw a Circle|drawing a circle]], use a compass or trace a small round object.
	#Draw a vertical line that extends down through the center of the head. Lay a ruler in the middle of the circle and lightly draw a straight line through the head. Keep drawing the line until it's about as long as you think the drawing will be.<ref>https://youtu.be/05dAIyn2IiU?t=210</ref>		#Draw a vertical line that extends down through the center of the head.

	#Make horizontal 7 lines that are the same distance apart as the head height. To make a basic grid for your female body proportions, turn your ruler so it's perpendicular to the vertical line you drew. Place it at the chin and lightly draw a straight line. Measure the distance from the top of the head to the chin. Then, leave this much space below the chin and draw another horizontal line.<ref>https://ift.tt/2W1qwvp>		#Make horizontal 7 lines that are the same distance apart as the head height.

	#Add a horizontal line halfway below the bottom line to mark the feet. Since female body figures are about 7 1/2 heads high, make another horizontal line a 1/2 head distance below the lowest line on your paper. This line indicates where the female's feet are.		#Add a horizontal line halfway below the bottom line to mark the feet. Since female body figures are about 7 1/2 heads high, make another horizontal line a 1/2 head distance below the lowest line on your paper. This line indicates where the female's feet are.
	#*Now you can go back and mark where key parts of the body fall in relation to one another. For example, you'll make a waistline, hipline, and line for the knees.		#*Now you can go back and mark where key parts of the body fall in relation to one another.

	#Make a horizontal line to indicate the knees. Place the ruler between the fifth and sixth guidelines from the top and draw a horizontal line.

	#Draw a horizontal rectangle for the chest. Sketch the top line of the rectangle so it's 1/4 of a head below the first guideline. Make another horizontal line over the second horizontal guideline for the bottom of the rectangle. Then, draw a line that curves away from the body and up to the end of the top rectangle line. Repeat this on the other end of the rectangle.<ref>https://youtu.be/05dAIyn2IiU?t=230</ref>		#Draw a horizontal rectangle for the chest.

	#Draw a line to connect the outside of the shapes and make a basic torso. Press firmly near the end of the shoulder line and sketch down along the chest's curve towards the waist. Keep drawing the line to connect with the edge of the bottom torso rectangle and repeat this for the opposite side of the body. Then, go back to the shoulder line and draw a small line that curves up to meet the head.<ref>https://ift.tt/2W1qwvp>		#Draw a line to connect the outside of the shapes and make a basic torso.

−	#Make a circle at both ends of the shoulder and on the hip line to make elbows. Draw a faint circle at each top corner of the chest shape. Make them extend from the shape so the line of the rectangle passes through the circle. Then, draw a faint circle on each side of the body so they're level with the waistline. Make these circles about 1/2 the size of the shoulder circles.<ref>https://ift.tt/2W1qwvp>	+
