1-The Standard Type
This body type is where you will use the 8 heads-measurement. It is also the typical body proportions and bodyweight for most women.
2-The Curvy Type
The curvy body type has an hourglass figure so make sure you make that prominent. To do so, just draw the hips wider and the thighs thicker. Also, the breasts will be bigger than normal.
3-The Athletic Type
Since athletes are physically active, their body muscles will be more developed and leaner. It will be better if you learn some anatomy to be able to draw an athletic body because then you will know the types of muscles that are visible on the surface.
For a woman, don’t make the muscles too extreme because the body might end up looking more masculine. However, the style depends on your preference.
4-The Petite Type
A petite body will have a less curvy waist and hips since the muscles are not as developed. The end result makes the torso look rectangular. You can even draw the torso as a rectangle.
This body usually has smaller breasts and more prominent bones.
5-The Plus-Size Body Type
This body type is very similar to the curvy type in terms of the hourglass figure. The only difference is that in plus-size bodies, there are more bumps along the lower belly since this is where the excess weight generally accumulates. Also, since women have wider hips than men, the excess weight will also gather on the thighs but not so much on the lower legs.
These drawings will also have rounder arms and bigger breasts.
