Consider how to draw a dress

In this article, we will immerse ourselves in the study and design of the drawings of the dress. To begin with, let's define how to draw a dress.

Drawing the silhouette

- For a basis we take a silhouette of a female body.

- We will determine what we will apply the picture. If you chose a marker or watercolor - it's wonderful, but the basis of the lines of markings should be drawn with a pencil. This is convenient and allows us to adjust the picture at the initial stage.

- We take a pencil and put a marking on a piece of paper, then the proportions of the body, mark out where the arms, waist, legs will be. Then draw the contours of the shape, on which the final version will be based.

- If you are satisfied with the result, then you can erase all lines of markings. Typically, the first time to draw the right silhouette does not come out, you can experiment with the forms of the female body, its proportions, so that later it was easier to draw a dress.

Choose the color and design of the dress

At the next stage, after choosing and drawing a silhouette, you need to decide how to draw a dress. To begin with, you need to choose a dress design, determine the color and fabric. Since each fabric has a property to differently drape, then the shadow in the picture will look different. All this is important for a reliable and correct display of the picture. When designing the design of dresses, many people are interested in the latest fashion trends, often there are fabrics that have returned to fashion, and colors that sometimes were not used for decades. At this stage in the basque fashion, that can be used in our drawing. You can also draw a long dress, the so-called "maxi" length. The forms of dresses that were popular in the sixties returned to fashion again. In the modern fashion world, there is such a variety of styles, designs and unreal solutions that you can most if you want to become a designer.

So, we chose the style and model of the dress, determined the fabric and chose the color (if the drawing is done in color). Now we know how to draw a dress, and you can start the creative process.

The technology of image dresses

We continue to use the pencil we like, which is useful at this stage of the picture. On the existing silhouette of the female body we put the contours of the dress, we choose the degree of clinging of the fabric, but so that it looks as plausible as possible. We sketch the folds of the dress, and put on the sheet of paper a slight shadow from the folds. It is also necessary to think through all the small details that will be in this figure, making sketches.

After all the preparatory strokes are made, you can draw a picture. Depending on what the drawing will be finished, we take a pencil (marker, brush, etc.) and fill all the contours, take into account all the transitions of the shadow and light, we do all the steps of obtaining a volumetric drawing. The important point is that the picture should smoothly and evenly appear, like a photograph. We continue the process, and as a result, without sharp transitions, our dress is made out and fine details and accessories are clearly drawn.

Let's sum up. Now we know how to draw a dress, figured out how the models and design of dresses are chosen, understood how to correctly display the female body and present it in the properly depicted dress.
