i dont believe someone can teach you a thing like that!. It requires precise hand-eye coordination which can only be gained from practice!. Most books are only going to give you a basic outline/form for something and if thats all you ever draw you wont advance your skill!. What i recommend is to get alot of paper and pencils and draw random people!. celebrity pictures are easy to come buy in magazines!. Take your time too!. If you stick with this long enough and keep all the drawings youve made its easy to grade yourself by looking at older work!. a drawing you made weeks or months ago that you thought looked amazing at first wont look nearly as good as something youve made recently!. Thats a perk cuz you wont have to rely on anyone for their opinion on how well you're doing!.
Oh i almost forgot, the only thing someone told me when i first started to draw was "draw what you see"!.!. sounds stupid but thats all you really need to know!. Good luck!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The first thing i would try is going to your local library and finding a drawing book!. If that does not work you can always try tracing!.Get a thin piece of paper then find a drawiing of a person and trace until you feel you are ready to try without the tracing paper!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

drawing ppl is hard but u get used to it!. i recommend Christopher's hart's book: HUMAN ANATOMY!. I have it and it helps alot!. it goes with the hands, feet, eyes, body(both male and female) and the face!. structures and muscles!. it will help any1 in need of guidance!. chris is a excellent artist!.

I firstly would start with the head, Make the shape and as the shape you wish!. Then start with the other simple shapes!.

The eyes!. Do one bit at a time and you will get it!.

Do all of the bodys basic shapes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Man I know what you mean! I suck at drawing people too!. It is at the top of list of most frustrating things!. The only advice I can give is: practice practice practice!.!.!. maybe even more practice after that!. Practice makes perfect!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
