The viewer’s right view of the character being the closer side will be bigger than the further left.


We are drawing the female body from a 3/4 view so one side of the drawing will be slightly hidden from the viewer’s perspective which means the torso will have different sizes. Once we have gotten the outline of the torso, we will divide it with a vertical line extending from the base of the neck to the lower chest line. From the base of the neck to the curve line representing the end of the lower chest measure one head of distance. On top of the torso, we will also draw another curve line to define where the neck of our character will be situated. The slightly higher part of the curve will mark the end of the breastbone and the lower chest. A curve line is drawn in the bottom of the torso to separate the space between the abdomen and the ribcage. We will draw the torso using curved and straight lines. With the torso in place, the rest of the body will go in easily. I like starting my drawings with the torso as this is the part that will dictate the position of the body of the character. We will start our drawing of the female body from the torso.
