Here's a fairly basic diagram of the areas to consider when drawing the female torso, showing where these areas are placed in relation to each other.
Generally, when drawing both from life and from imagination we might want to begin with a basic gesture line, moving to the oval forms of the rib cage and pelvis areas. Then on to suggest the chest and abdomen and finally adding more anatomically correct details.
It will be difficult to do this as a beginner without knowing at least the basic simplified shapes of these structures. We'll cover each of these parts in upcoming tutorials.
