In this article, we will dive into the study and design of drawings of the dress. To begin with, we still decide how to draw a dress.
Draw a silhouette
- We take the silhouette of the female body as the basis.
- Determine what we will apply the drawing. If you chose a marker or watercolor - this is great, but the basis of the marking lines must be drawn with a pencil. This is convenient and gives us the opportunity to adjust the picture at the initial stage.
- We take a pencil and put a markup on a sheet of paper, then the proportions of the body, mark out where the arms, waist, legs will be. Then we draw the contours of the figure, on which the final version will then be based.
- If you are satisfied with the result, then you can delete all markup lines with an eraser. As a rule, drawing the right silhouette does not work right the first time, you can experiment with the forms of the female body, its proportions, so that later it is 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. First you need to choose a dress design, determine the color and fabric. Since each fabric has the ability to drape differently, the shadow in the figure will look different. All this is important for the reliable and correct display of the picture.
When designing dresses, many people are interested in the latest fashion trends, often there are fabrics that have returned to fashion, and colors that sometimes have not been used for decades. At this stage, the Basque is in fashion, which can be used in our drawing. You can also draw a
long dress, the so-called long "maxi". Forms of dresses that were popular in the sixties returned to fashion again. In the modern world of fashion, there is such a variety of styles, designs and unrealistic solutions that you yourself can become a designer if you wish.
So, we chose the style and model of the dress, identified the fabric and selected the color (if the drawing is done in color). Now we know how to draw a dress, and we can begin the creative process.
Dress Image Technology
We continue to use our favorite pencil, which is appropriate at this stage of the drawing. On the existing silhouette of the female body, we put the contours of the dress, choose the degree of tightness of the fabric, but so that it looks as believable as possible. We make sketches of the folds of the dress, and put on the sheet of paper a slight shadow from the folds.
It is also necessary to think over all the small details that will be in this figure, make sketches.
After all the preparatory touches are made, you can draw a picture. Depending on how the drawing will end, we take a pencil (marker, brush, etc.) and fill in all the contours, take into account all the transitions of shadow and light, do all the steps of obtaining a volumetric picture. An important point - the picture should smoothly and evenly appear, like a photograph. We continue the process, and as a result, without a sharp transition, our dress is made out and small details and accessories are clearly drawn.
To summarize. Now we know how to draw a dress, figured out how to choose models and design of dresses, figured out how to properly display a female body and present it in a correctly depicted dress.
