How to draw a dress

In this lesson we will look at how to draw a dress with a pencil in stages on a girl, draw a short and a long one. Let's take this reference.

To draw a dress, you need a model, although you can draw without it, just imagining in your head, but it's better with a model.

So, we draw a person who does not know how, then you must first draw a skeleton, the pose in which the girl stands. Draw an oval face and then the spine, legs, arms, etc. Then we show the body with simple figures and the next step is to shape the body. For a more detailed lesson on how to draw a person, see here.

Now we can say, we put clothes on the model, i.e. depending on what configuration a person will be, for example, thick or thin, clothes will acquire such a shape. We draw the upper part of the dress, belt and skirt. The upper part of the clothes is narrow, therefore it repeats the shape of the body, it expands in the breasts. The inset on the dress in the form of a belt lies strictly at the waist. The skirt goes over the hips, and then it becomes a little more magnificent, the skirt is above the knees. Erase parts of the body that are not visible under the dress, add folds.

Now let's draw a long dress. We also need to draw a body, then we “put on” a dress on it, it will go on thick straps, the upper part of the dress ends under the chest and then the fabric goes to the floor. Draw a line, erase it. what's inside, drew folds.
