Hand-drawing animate beings is prohibited according to the majority of scholars, and drawing with a computer falls under the generality of this prohibition. If one is compelled to draw animate beings for a scientific purpose, then the necessity is estimated by its measure, such as drawing the body without the head, or the head without facial features, or from the back. This is lighter than drawing a complete animate being with clear features.
