If you have ever wondered how to draw a woman in a dress, there are two obvious tasks you need to accomplish. First, you need to draw the figure of the woman. Then of course, you need to know the parts of the dress in order to draw that. Easy enough, right? So, why not add an extra element of challenge and draw the woman in motion?

That is what we'll aim to do with this lesson. The video and the steps below will show you how to draw a lady in a dress, spinning around in a field of grass.

First things first. Let's get a little more familiar with what we will be drawing.
<h2>What to Look for in the Woman and the Dress</h2>
I do not claim to be a fashion expert, and I am certainly not one to know all the characteristics and fine details of a woman's dress without having a resource to help me. For that reason, I found this photo of a woman wearing a dress that we can use as a reference. This will help in the next step when trying to draw the woman's figure in motion. It will help even more later on when we need to draw the twirling dress.

Before we begin drawing, let me point out just a few noteworthy things from the photo to keep in mind. Since the woman is twirling, you can notice her figure leaning back. Also, you can tell she is twisting to her right. Her torso is slightly more turned than her lower half. She is also using her left arm to bring her dress along for the spin. Since she is in motion, you notice her hair and the bottom part of the dress trailing along.
