Woman’s breast will increase in size when they are pregnant they also have a slight different shape, for example Her Brest will tend to be more round or full looking.

Woman’s hips also tend to get more wide as her body gets ready to deliver, along with experiencing weight gain throughout her whole body during pregnancy.

Most important is the baby bump or where the woman carries the child, her belly will have a large increase of size and a dramatic shape change.

To draw the pregnant belly: I start with what looks like a normal belly and then create a large circle appreciating the shape that I see on the woman, you use he tier drop shape for this part of her body as her belly is more round at the bottom and straightens out toward her rib cage. I pregnant belly will be quite round near the side of the woman as well you can indicate this with a hint of shading or even a thin line that is round.
Keep in mind there are over 9 month of pregnancy so there are many different ways to draw a pregnant woman also each woman carries a child differently and each child is different. These ideas will only give you a basic understanding on the body figure of a pregnant woman.

Breastfeeding

Overlapping:

Sketch a basic outline sketch for both people consider actually drawing over top of other body parts as if they where see through

Complete a full sketch of both people , then once you done this start erasing the unnecessary line.

Drawing people sitting together behind one another or interacting in any ways can be difficulty as there bodies where they touch will hide distort and change how the body looks.

In this drawing pay attention to the hand as the baby hold her mothers breast the breast responds the pressure the figure are creating making indents.

To draw the baby face draw the whole face and then draw the shape of the breast hiding part of the mouth of the baby.

Small details like the folds in the skin or pressure points of contact will create a more realistic drawing.
Understanding body type will help you with this in general woman have ore soft bodies so a woman’s body will respond to touch better then a male body.

Expression, Consider the emotions in the drawing for woman, woman go though allot of emotional changes becoming a mother, I think nothing is more beautiful they a woman that loves her body while pregnant or holding a baby so blissful or happiness is a great expression for drawing mother and child.
