How to draw a football player in the game

A human figure is one of the most difficult objects for an image. In deciding on how to draw a football player, it will be important not only to correctly observe the proportions, but also to express the expression, the dynamics of the movements of the figure. Not the last place in creating an artistic image is the transfer of mood and character of the character.

How to draw a football player in motion: determined with proportions

Let's start with the sketch of the basics. Draw a circle of the head, draw a slightly curved line forward, connect it with a circle that will be twice the first. To correctly depict the ratio of parts of the body, we must take into account the canon of proportions of the human figure, derived by the ancient painters and sculptors. According to this canon, the vertical line of the torso descending from the base of the head to the pelvic bones of the figure should be about two and a half the length that we determined for the head. Before drawing a football player, let's determine what movement he will perform. He will run with the ball across the field.

Create the sketch base

From the bottom circle draw in a wide run of the foot of a football player: to the knee joint, designated as a small circle, the distance will be two heights of the head of the figure, after the knees we draw the calf and the calf of the athlete: the length of the line will also be two sizes of the head. The left foot of the football player is directed forward, the right foot is bent at the knee. Draw the feet so that they are not too large or small. On the upper part of the trunk line, slightly receding from the head, we will depict an oval (torso), from the middle of which we will draw the lines of hands thrown back in the run. Also, we'll draw the joints in circles. At the bottom of the circle, which depicts the head, draw a corner of the chin.

Finish the sketch of the figure

Now we need to give the figure a volume. We circle all parts of the body without violating the correct relations. Legs in the hip should be more massive than in the lower leg, and the arms in the shoulders are wider than in the forearms. We will proportionally make the feet and hands. In our figure, the football player took his hands back and spread them like wings, which adds special expressiveness to the transfer of his impetuous movement. Now you can put a player in a football suit - shorts and a tank top, accentuating the folds on the clothes where the body parts are bent. Draw on legs leggings and boots. Now we can remove the original contours of the base with an eraser.

Working on the details of the face

We will do contours, not too pressing on a pencil, as in the course of drawing for certain careful correction is required.
