How to draw people in different poses?

Question

I draw manga but I can't not draw them in different poses. Can you help me.

Answer 1

Get one of those little wooden bendy guys.  They are made for artists to pose and draw from.  Prolly could get one cheap at Michaels.

Answer 2

People and most animals are usually just a bunch of ovals linked together in different places. Think of the ball of your foot as an oval, then just above and, say, to the right a bit, is your heel - another oval (more rounded). Then above the heel oval, you make a longer, larger oval to represent the calf muscle. A bit in front and above a small, round oval for the knee.  You get the picture? Just a bunch of ovals! Then link them all together with light lines and some shading.

Answer 3

draw what you see. try to draw exactly what you see you have to focus & try.

Answer 4

A good way to get people into different poses is to start with a gesture line - one line which curves all the way through the pose - and then build up the basic shapes along this line (like Hazel said - mostly just a bunch of ovals.) There's some more detailed articles on using gesture lines at EzineArticles.com and on the How to Draw People blog.
