I really like how you draw babies. Whenever I try to draw babies it doesn't turn out well. Can you give some tips or pointers?
Alrighty, so if anything that helped me when it comes to drawing babies was looking at some poses on deviantArt. It helped but to save you the mess of searching baby on dA and come across any baby fetish stuff, may I suggest this board on pintrest. It’s a board dedicated to old school illustrations of babies that could be found in story books, cards or baby announcements, it helps me out alot for inspirations. You can also find boards dedicated to drawing children and babies as well like here. It’s alot of looking around but it helps. I also want to add this little tidbit from Preston Blair’s Cartoon Animation book. It helped me out alot ( which as you read later on in this tutorial that I repeat alot of this)
Now onward to the tutorial
Circles are your friend when it comes to drawing babies since they are round and squishy. As you can see, babies are just a whole bunch of circles of different variations and sizes.
Then we start to draw the face. With most babies, you tend to exaggerate their large foreheads so you draw their faces small and lower. Eyes can be either big or small depending on what you want to do but mouths, ears, and noses are small. Plus babies have very little hair.
Now with the body you just add chub. Chub everywhere. Their arms and legs are never skinny and long nor do their elbows and knees come to a point. Their fingers are tiny and their butts perk up ever so slightly.
Like I said earlier, babies have little to no hair. Sometimes their hair is curly or it flips up. Just play around with whatever you like.
To add more of a chubby look to their faces, add a little chin. It helps with a pouty look.
Arms ( as well as legs) are much more rounder, shorter, and chubbier compared to an adult.
With coloring, I tend to color babies much lighter/paler ( this could help you when want to draw your favorite character/ you oc as a baby)
I do hope this tutorial helps out alot Hana, I tried my best to add to what I know and what could help you.
NOW GO DRAW SOME DAMN ADORABLE BABIES!!!!
