How to Draw Cartoon Hips

Video Transcript

"All right, in this clip we'll be doing the waist and hips. And this is again, another area you want to be really tricky with. Basically, the whole female body, one tiny little slip up and it can literally ruin your entire picture. So you want to make sure you take your time with every single part, so that you don't accidentally draw a wrong line here or a wrong line there. Really visualize the picture and make confident handstokes when you finally want to go in and finish the drawing up. We're not going to be going back to our test page anymore, because we've pretty much done experimented with the look. We're committed now at this point and you can always vary these options as you please. But for now we're just going to plunge ahead with the look that we have going here. So, we're just going to follow the bust line down, you don't want to make it too wide, not too thin. And we're slowly going to branch outward as we near the hands. Because the hands are going to be resting on the top of her hips. And the hips will reach there widest point right about underneath the hands here. That's where the hands are going to be resting. Now what we're going to do, is we're going to come down and start to move in towards the middle, which is the way the hips work on the girl. And we're not going to go too far in, we're basically going to do something sort of like this. So it'll like little oval shape, just to keep you on track and to guide you along here. And, just to make sure that you know where everything is, you'll draw the point in which the top of the legs are, just give it a tiny little line. Don't go into to too much detail, just basically a reference point and then we'll build off of that. So this is what the waist and hips should look like. Just sort of like an hour glass look. If you want to go super sexy you can do that, if you want to go super plain keep it more strait. But just for a standard female body, just the the safe little hour glass look is good."
