Like to discover how to draw a person sitting? Let's explore the step-by-step guide from Monkey Pen together.

Step 1: Let’s start with the person’s head. Draw spiky curves for the hair.

Step 2: Then draw the face with a half -U.

Step 3: Draw the right ear with a small C along with its inner ear, which looks like a beak. From the outer ear, extend a small line vertically upwards.

Step 4: Draw the hair above the head with large spikes.

Step 5: Add a few more spikes.

Step 6: Complete the head with little spikes above the right ear.

Step 7: Draw the neck with a broad U.

Step 8: Draw the left shoulder and arms that look like a square brace in a slanting position.

Step 9: Draw the right shoulder and arms. (Refer to step 8).

Step 10: Draw the body using gentle curves that run parallel to each other, but with some distance.

Step 11: Draw the right hand with two parallel lines running vertically and extending down horizontally, ending with a palm.

Step 12: Draw the left hand too. (Refer to step 11).

Step 13: Draw the outline for the right leg that looks like ‘F’.

Step 14: Draw the outline for the left leg that appears like a ‘7’.

Step 15: Complete the right and left legs with a small, gentle curve followed by a vertical line, then a small, flat C that joins both legs.

Step 16: Add shoes that look like a D facing upwards.

Step 17: Draw patterns inside shoes with tiny rectangular designs and a flat C.

Step 18: Draw the bench behind with two long rectangles stacked one above the other.

Step 19: Below, draw one more rectangle with edges in a slanting position. Next to it comes another long, regular rectangle that is narrow.

Step 20: Give legs for the bench with tube-like structures.

Step 21: Add designs for the shirt using curves and straight lines.

Step 22: Include the person's eyes, eyebrows, nose, and mouth. Soft curves for eyebrows, small circles for eyes, a tiny ‘U’ facing sidewise near the left eye and a small curve below for the mouth.

Step 23: Darken one corner of each eye that looks like a tiny circle. This is the eyeball.

Step 24: The drawing of a person sitting relaxed on a park bench is completed.
