Drawing and Painting People

Including people can greatly enliven landscapes, particularly those with panoramic views. Thus, when we are painting and sketching, we may want to add a figure or group, but we often feel less confident about drawing people than objects and vistas. Drawing human figures sometimes seems difficult simply because we lack practice.

  
 

These exercise sheets are designed to provide practice so that adding people to landscapes will become easy. Use the seascape photo reference to make a watercolor sketch. Follow the directions in the tutorial to study the proportions of the human body and practice painting people with only a few brush strokes on the exercise sheets provided.

Try silouettes and quick washes using various techniques to develop your own methods so the figures you draw will fit into your natural style.

One method of adding figures to a landscape is shown below.
   
 

 

Download the Practice Painting People tutorial and complete lots of quick figure drawings.

Then put some people in your watercolor sketch.

Adding human figures will open up possibilities for creating interesting new compositions

with the focal point that has universal appeal, the human figure.
