Does anyone here have tips for drawing HUMANS in these two perspectives:

Bird's Eye view (looking down on someone from above)

Worm's Eye view (looking at someone from below)

and if you don't know and you have someone you could ask please do! Thanks guys!

I find the only real way you can do it is by practicing >.> even now I find it really hard.

To be honest the best way of doing it is by taking reference photos, or using reference from online.

Not sure if these would help at all...Another thing I know some artists do is draw a vanishing point to help with perspective >.> could try it, though it doesn't really work for me...Though it would probably help more if you was drawing you character in a room..

Hope this helps! >.<;; sorry if it doesn't! D:

Hmm, the pictures weren't the views I was looking for but thanks for the tips!

I know you have to practice, but I wasn't sure if there were any particular steps to doing it.

It's really hard to find reference on the internet because when you look up those perspectives you get mostly buildings even if you type in the word "person" or "human". The views I'm looking for is like if you were laying on the ground and your view of the person from below (big feet to small head) and if you were looking directly below at the person (big head to small feet).

I think I'll try using my mannequins too.

Well a tip I saw on TV once was to draw the perspective of a tall building, and then place a person inside the box :P you could try that, or take a photo of your mum while lying on the floor XD I use my sisters all the time for stuff like this!

Plus it is always useful to have your own reference photos, coz like you said, it's so hard finding stuff on the net : (

its really some thing thats best done from observation or some years of practice. One easy thing you could do is get some thing that is roughly human in proportion and mark its halfway point and other points if you feel like it, then hold it up or down so that its more effected by perspective. i think i've babbled enough.
Sometimes they have ideas in those how-to comic books. But that depends on the level of realism you're trying to achieve.
