Looking at the model and drawing like that is something that requires a lot of skill. It is very laborious to maintain the position, light, and still state of a living model until it is drawn. It may seem easy to the viewer but it is something that requires a lot of skill. Below I will explain a few things that will help you on how to draw a model.
But in this modern age there is no need to put the model in a particular pose until a picture is drawn. Today’s method is to take a photo and look at it after adjusting the lighting and the position of the model.

1 Understanding how much part of a model can draw on canvas.
The most important thing when drawing a model is to pay attention to the dimensions. First of all, you need to know how much of the model in front of you can be painted on the canvas. If you start drawing from one side without paying attention, you may not have enough space on the canvas until you reach the next side. This is a common mistake made by beginners. Therefore, pay special attention to the measurements.
2 Adjustment of light.
The appearance of an object depends on the amount of light falling on it. Therefore, lighting is very important in model drawing. A model can be draw beautifully with the help of artistically adjusted lighting. Lighting is one of the elements that helps the artist to create beautiful pictures with visual beauty. The shadows cast in the opposite direction to the light actually give the image a 3d effect. Too much light and no light at all are the factors that prevent an artist from drawing a good model properly.
3 Distance between model and artist.
According to an artist’s perspective view, a certain distance has to be calculated according to the lighting and the position of the model. The decision on how many objects to include on the canvas should also be considered. The point is to choose a position where the artist can see the details of the model well and is comfortable.
4 Arrangement of ancillary objects.
It’s not just about drawing the model in a particular position. The image acquires a visual aspect when the surroundings of the model are adjusted to the context. Ancillary objects should be arranged according to the creativity of the artist. Avoid other objects that violate artistic value.
5 Choose the appropriate colors.
An artist must understand the color variations of the model in natural lighting and artificial lighting. Also notice the color difference when the light reflected off the bright colors falls on the model. The artist must be very careful in choosing the right colors. It is important to clearly understand the differences that occur with a color when moving from bright areas to areas with shadows.
6 Learn shapes.
The most important thing to consider when drawing a picture is to draw its shape correctly. When light falls on an object, it may differ from its original shape. This is called optical illusion. It is through constant practice that we learn to draw the basic shapes of a model. The correct method is to draw more details on the basic shape, add colors and proceed step by step.
