HOW TO DRAW DOJO
I want to teach you how to draw a butt step by step! And to be more specific, a woman's rear end. Are you ready to learn how to draw a booty? Get those pencils sharpened and them drawing tablets fired up, and let us jump into this tutorial!
Like all my previous tutorials, I try to create these instructions accessible to traditional and digital artists. Your journey on how you want to learn is all up to you. However, the most affordable way to learn is with a blank sheet of paper and pencil.
If you want to follow along with me 100%, you will need an iPad and the latest copy of Procreate. You can also download my FREE Procreate brush settings at the link below. Don't have Procreate? No worries! Any application that has layers and pressure sensitivity brushes should work fine.
Before we start this tutorial, I want us to get familiar with women's butts. A great way to research the subject is with the internet. However, be warned not to venture too deep into this subject. Due to the nature of the subject matter, it may cause you to explore explicit websites. Fear not, because I want to share with you my Pinterest inspiration board. At the link below, you will find websafe images of women's butts. You can also conduct your research using popular stock image sites like Shutterstock.
Once you have completed your research on women's butts, the next step is to warm up with some quick sketches. To do this, fill up a blank sheet of paper or canvas space for this exercise. I would recommend at least 15 minutes to warm up. If you feel that you aren't ready, sketch as long as you want. Remember to keep your sketches loose and messy! They do not have to be perfect images or drawings of butts. It can be anything! Once you are all warmed up, we can now learn how to draw a woman's butt step by step!
The first step is to draw the basic shape of a woman's butt. And to make sure we are illustrating a female bottom, let us sketch the upper torso. A good rule of thumb when drawing a woman's torso is to make the pelvic wider than the ribcage.
For digital artists, a helpful drawing tip is to use the color blue as your sketch color.
After you complete the torso, sketch in a few limbs. Draw in partial legs, arms, and neck.
Next is to connect all your rough shapes. Also, add the shoulder blades and butt cheeks.
For digital users, drop the opacity of your sketch layer to 30%. Traditional users, make sure that your marks are faint.
If you are using a digital application, switch your swatch color from blue to black. Next, create a second layer and place it on top of your sketch layer. On this layer, refine the details of your torso and the butt.
Traditional users—press down on your pencil to create darker marks.
The last step is to create a third layer and place it at the very top. On this layer, you can add all your shading and extra detail. Use the diagram below as a guide on where to shade.
Below is a diagram of what your layers panel should look like, only three layers in Procreate (not including the background.)
