One of the most challenging parts of drawing a portrait is mastering posing, which requires constant critical observation and savvy adaptation. It’s challenging to make someone look amazing or perfect from head to toe, especially when it’s a woman (who tend to value details more than men and are more critical).
For inspiration and guidance, I offer 12 diverse female portraits. Pick something you like, then adjust it to fit your preferences if you want one in the future or you want give it away (it will be easier to find inspiration).
The portraits show the posture (reclining, seated, standing, etc.) and, in some instances, distinct traits (like the use of props, leaning positions, etc.). Enjoy!
