For all beginner artists, I have created a new tutorial in which I will show you how to draw crossed arms step by step. I am sure that this lesson will be very useful for you, as you will once again practice drawing a human figure. You can use the acquired skills in your next drawings.
It is very common to see a posture in which people cross their arms in the chest area. People most often take this position of the body while waiting. Also, this gesture may indicate that a person is uncomfortable and this position of the hands is a kind of protection.
Sometimes this position of the hands can indicate a defensive position. For example, if the interlocutor crosses his arms, it means that he does not agree with something. You may think that drawing crossed arms is difficult, but it is not.
With the help of a clear and accessible instruction, you can easily draw crossed arms and get a good result. Follow the sequence and carefully draw all the lines that are marked in red.
