If you have too many ideas, then you could make a few attempts with different dresses and people wearing them. Who would you like to see wearing this dress that you have created?
How to Draw a Dress Step by Step for Beginners
Hello dear artists. In the last lessons the team of Drawingforall.net drew a lot of clothing items, such as boots and sneakers, and this drawing lesson will also touch the topic of clothing. And as you have already guessed, today we will tell you How to Draw a Dress Step by Step for Beginners. We will show you how to draw a dress using a fairly simple enough example, but using the four steps below you can draw a dress of any type.
Step 1
So, to draw a dress properly, take a pencil and using very light, slightly visible lines sketch out such a trapezoidal geometric figure.
Step 2
Now go a little higher and outline the top of the dress, which looks like a tank top. We draw a dress with short sleeves, but you can of course draw a dress with sleeves to the elbows or to the wrists.
How to Draw A Dress – Let’s get Started!
In the first step of our guide on how to draw a dress, we will start with the neck and sleeves of your dress. This will be drawn by using a curved line for the neckline of the dress.
Then, you can draw some angled lines that come down in a curve at the end to make the sleeves.
Once you have these elements looking as they do in the reference image, you’re ready for step 2!
Step 2 – Draw the chest of your dress
For this part of your dress drawing, we will be drawing a torso for it. To draw this part, draw two lines coming down from the inner side of the sleeves.
This will make a somewhat square shape with slightly sloped sides.
Step 3 – Now, draw the skirt of your dress
Your dress needs a flowy skirt portion, so let’s draw one in for this step of our guide on how to draw a dress.
To draw this part, simply have two lines moving outwards from the bottom of the part that you drew in the previous step. Once you have those lines drawn, you can join them together with a slightly flowing line.
You can use a flowy, curved line as this will show that there is a flowy hem at the bottom of the skirt portion.
Step 5 – Draw the Folds & Finish the Line drawing
Add a few folds to the lower part of the dress. Draw these as several curved lines of different length as shown in the example.
Once done adding the folds trace over your drawing with a black pen or marker. Just be sure you are happy with the way things look before doing so as it will be difficult to make corrections afterwards. If you don’t have one of those around you can simply darken your lines with the pencil instead.
Step 6 – Color the Dress
In this example the dress is pink but you can use just about any color if you prefer. For a brighter looking dress you can use markers. For milder colors water based paints or colored pencils can both be good options.
Whatever options you choose once done coloring you should be done with the drawing.
Conclusion
The dress in this tutorial is very simple and hopefully you’ve found it easy to draw. If you want to get more create you can also try and give it some sort of a pattern. Again, first outline it in pencil and then trace over it with a maker just like the rest of the dress (before coloring).
