How to Draw a Gymnastics

Gymnastics is a sport that requires strength, flexibility, and grace. It is also a sport that is sometimes difficult to capture in a drawing. This guide will provide you with the basic steps necessary to draw a gymnast in action. Follow these steps and with a little practice, you will be able to draw gymnasts that look as though they are flying through the air.

What You Will Need

-Paper

-Pencil

-Eraser

-Ruler or a straight edge (optional)

These are the basic supplies you will need in order to complete your gymnastics drawing. For this project we recommend that you use a pencil so that you can easily erase any mistakes that you make along the way. If you would like a more finished look to your drawing, feel free to use a black pen instead of a pencil. However, keep in mind that once you use a pen, you will not be able to erase your mistakes as easily. A ruler or a straight edge is optional, but can be helpful if you want to make clean, straight lines.

The Basics of Drawing a Gymnast

Whether you want to draw a gymnast for an action scene or for a portrait, it’s important to get the proportions and details right. This tutorial will show you how to draw a female gymnast, but the principles can be applied to drawing male gymnasts as well. First, start with a stick figure. Draw a circle for the head and add two crossed lines inside for the eyes and nose. Draw a curved line for the mouth. Then add two ovals for the ears. Next, add the neck and shoulders. Draw a line from the head down to the shoulders, and then add two lines coming out from the shoulders to create the arms. The arms should be slightly bent at the elbows.

Now add the torso. Draw a line down from the neck, stopping just above where the hips would be. Then add two lines coming out from the sides for the legs. The legs should be bent at the knees.

Finally, add some details to give your gymnast more dimension and personality. For example, you could draw her hair in a ponytail or bun, add some jewellery, or give her a leotard with stripes or patterns. When you’re finished, your gymnast should look something like this:
