How to draw a figure in proportion option 3

Fold your paper hamburger style.

Keep it folded and fold it a second time in the same direction.

Your folded paper should look like this.

Open your paper. You should have four equal sections.

Hey, Bob! You're doing a layup! We are going to draw you!

Draw Bob's head. The bottom of Bob's head should almost touch your first fold. Bob's head should fill half of your top section above the fold. Notice how Bob's head is tilted a little.

Add Bob's neck. An oval on the fold.

Draw Bob's chest. Bob's chest should be wider than his head. Bob's chest should come halfway down in your second section.

Draw Bob's waist. An oval. Notice how it's thinner on the left and thicker on the right. This helps Bob's back bend for his layup.

Add Bob's hips. Bob's hips should come to the middle fold.

Add Bob's hip joints. Two circles.

Draw Bob's left thigh. It should fill the third section, touching the bottom fold.

Draw Bob's left knee. A circle.

Draw Bob's calf. His calf should be the same length as his thigh. Use your pencil as a measuring tool to check.

Add Bob's ankle. Small oval.

Add Bob's foot. Long oval.

Add Bob's right thigh. Notice the angle.

Use your pencil as a measuring tool. Measure your first thigh.

Add Bob's elbow. Small oval.

Add Bob's lower arm. Measure Bob's upper arm and make sure it is the same length as Bob's lower arm.

Add Bob's wrist. Small oval.

Add Bob's hand. Long oval.
