(2170,2,'2015-07-30 07:36:33','2015-07-30 14:36:33','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?\r\n\r\nThat 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.\r\n\r\nFirst things first. Let\'s get a little more familiar with what we will be drawing.\r\n<h2>What to Look for in the Woman and the Dress</h2>\r\nI 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.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woman-wearing-dress-spinning-around.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2133\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woman-wearing-dress-spinning-around.jpg\" alt=\"woman wearing dress spinning around\" width=\"472\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\nBefore 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 the woman is in motion, you notice her hair and the bottom part of the dress trailing along.\r\n\r\nThe dress has lace along the bodice and along the edges of the shoulder straps. There appears to be a knot in the back where pieces of the garment are tied together. The upper half of the dress is form-fitting, while the lower half is loose and free-flowing. There is a flower pattern on this dress that you can choose to draw if you want, but I left it out of this tutorial.\r\n<h2>Ready to Draw</h2>\r\nHopefully you are now ready to draw along with this tutorial! You can watch the video for a summary of the steps and read more detailed steps below, along with viewing the illustrations for each step. Besides my drawing paper, the only materials I used for this were a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-pencil/\">mechanical pencil</a> with <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-lead-refills/\">2B lead</a> and a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/kneaded-eraser/\">kneaded eraser.</a> Just remember to sketch your guidelines lighter than how they appear in these images.\r\n\r\n***VIDEO***\r\n<h2>How to Draw the Figure of the Woman</h2>\r\nLet\'s start by seeing how to draw the woman\'s figure. Begin by sketching the shapes for the head and the neck. Remember that we want her to lean back slightly, so draw the shapes at a slight tilt as opposed to an exact vertical position.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/01-how-to-draw-woman-figure-head-and-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2139 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/01-how-to-draw-woman-figure-head-and-neck.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw woman figure head and neck\" width=\"792\" height=\"584\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNext, sketch the shape of the body between the neck and the waist. Again, the woman is leaning back a little. Make sure to show the arch in the curvature of her back. Notice how the small of her back is in close alignment with the center of the neck?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/02-how-to-draw-woman-figure-torso1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2166\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/02-how-to-draw-woman-figure-torso1.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw woman figure torso\" width=\"597\" height=\"813\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the torso by drawing the shape for the pelvic region.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/03-how-to-draw-woman-figure-pelvic.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2141\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/03-how-to-draw-woman-figure-pelvic.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw woman figure pelvic\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\nSketch the shape of the upper thigh that tapers toward the knee. Draw a round circle for the knee joint.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/04-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2142\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/04-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-leg.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw woman figure upper leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\nComplete the woman\'s left leg by drawing a cylinder shape for the calf that tapers at the ankle. Then sketch a basic shape for the foot. Remember that this foot will not be flat on the ground.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/05-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2143\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/05-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-leg.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw woman figure lower leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat a similar process for the woman\'s right leg. Keep in mind that the woman is spinning. Her right leg is the leg she is pivoting on, so her foot will be flat on the ground and pointing forward from her point of view.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/06-how-to-draw-woman-figure-right-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2144\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/06-how-to-draw-woman-figure-right-leg.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw woman figure right leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNow it is time to sketch guidelines for the arm. Make a round shape for the shoulder. Then sketch the rest of the upper arm and the forearm. The lady\'s arm is extended straight for the most part, so there should not be a noticeable bend at the elbow. Sketch the basic shapes for the hand in such a way that it appears to be holding on to fabric.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-how-to-draw-woman-figure-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2145\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-how-to-draw-woman-figure-arm.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw woman figure arm\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\nSketch a rough outline for long, flowing hair. Since the hair is in motion from the spin, draw it trailing behind her rather than flat against her back.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/08-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2146\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/08-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair-outline.jpg\" alt=\"08 how to draw woman figure hair outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNext, sketch some guidelines that will help to place the facial features. Draw the line for the eyes about halfway between the top of the head and the bottom of the chin. Draw the other lines as shown below. Make sure that your <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-faces-tips-techniques-and-short-tutorials/\">facial guidelines are placed properly</a>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/09-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2147\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/09-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face-guidelines.jpg\" alt=\"09 how to draw woman figure face guidelines\" width=\"796\" height=\"611\" /></a>\r\n\r\nUse the guidelines and the reference photo to draw the eyes, eyebrows, nose, smiling mouth, and any other facial details you wish. Remember that you do not have to stick to the reference photo or my drawing exactly. You are the artist, so it\'s up to you. If you wish, you can change the woman\'s appearance simply by making the facial features look different from what you see here. I would still make sure she is smiling, since she conveys a happy mood by spinning around.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/10-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2148\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/10-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face.jpg\" alt=\"10 how to draw woman figure face\" width=\"811\" height=\"624\" /></a>\r\n\r\nSketch in the flowing sections of hair. Make a few strands flow away from the mass along the outer perimeter to make it look more natural.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/11-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2149\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/11-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair.jpg\" alt=\"11 how to draw woman figure hair\" width=\"608\" height=\"812\" /></a>\r\n\r\nFor the upper arm, use your kneaded eraser to get rid of the shoulder and elbow joint guidelines. Draw lines indicating the muscle connecting the upper and lower arm.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/12-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2150\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/12-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-arm.jpg\" alt=\"12 how to draw woman figure upper arm\" width=\"602\" height=\"807\" /></a>\r\n\r\nComplete the arm by erasing the guidelines within the forearm and drawing the thumb and fingers as seen below.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/13-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2151\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/13-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-arm.jpg\" alt=\"13 how to draw woman figure lower arm\" width=\"588\" height=\"805\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw a few details to define the lady\'s feet, including her ankles.

Begin by sketching lines for the shoulder strap and the part of the bodice of the dress under her armpit. Also sketch in where her dress is tied in the back and hanging from a knot.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-shoulder-strap.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2153\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-shoulder-strap.jpg\" alt=\"15 step by step how to draw a dress shoulder strap\" width=\"606\" height=\"812\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNow form the skirt part of the dress.

Draw some lace that follows the curvature of the woman\'s figure and that borders the shoulder strap.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/17-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lace.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2155\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/17-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lace.jpg\" alt=\"17 step by step how to draw a dress lace\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\nComplete the upper half of the dress by drawing a few folds.

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?\r\n\r\nThat 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.\r\n\r\nFirst things first. Let\'s get a little more familiar with what we will be drawing.\r\n<h2>What to Look for in the Woman and the Dress</h2>\r\nI 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.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woman-wearing-dress-spinning-around.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2133\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woman-wearing-dress-spinning-around.jpg\" alt=\"woman wearing dress spinning around\" width=\"472\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\nBefore 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 the woman is in motion, you notice her hair and the bottom part of the dress trailing along.\r\n\r\nThe dress has lace along the bodice and along the edges of the shoulder straps. There appears to be a knot in the back where pieces of the garment are tied together. The upper half of the dress is form-fitting, while the lower half is loose and free-flowing. There is a flower pattern on this dress that you can choose to draw if you want, but I left it out of this tutorial.\r\n<h2>Ready to Draw</h2>\r\nHopefully you are now ready to draw along with this tutorial! You can watch the video for a summary of the steps and read more detailed steps below, along with viewing the illustrations for each step. Besides my drawing paper, the only materials I used for this were a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-pencil/\">mechanical pencil</a> with <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-lead-refills/\">2B lead</a> and a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/kneaded-eraser/\">kneaded eraser.</a> Just remember to sketch your guidelines lighter than how they appear in these images.\r\n\r\n***VIDEO***\r\n<h2>How to Draw the Figure of the Woman</h2>\r\nLet\'s start by seeing how to draw the woman\'s figure. Begin by sketching the shapes for the head and the neck. Remember that we want her to lean back slightly, so draw the shapes at a slight tilt as opposed to an exact vertical position.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/01-how-to-draw-woman-figure-head-and-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2139 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/01-how-to-draw-woman-figure-head-and-neck.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw woman figure head and neck\" width=\"792\" height=\"584\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, sketch the shape of the body between the neck and the waist. Again, the woman is leaning back a little. Make sure to show the arch in the curvature of her back. Notice how the small of her back is in close alignment with the center of the neck?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/02-how-to-draw-woman-figure-torso1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2166\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/02-how-to-draw-woman-figure-torso1.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw woman figure torso\" width=\"597\" height=\"813\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the torso by drawing the shape for the pelvic region.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/03-how-to-draw-woman-figure-pelvic.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2141\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/03-how-to-draw-woman-figure-pelvic.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw woman figure pelvic\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch the shape of the upper thigh that tapers toward the knee. Draw a round circle for the knee joint.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/04-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2142\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/04-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-leg.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw woman figure upper leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the woman\'s left leg by drawing a cylinder shape for the calf that tapers at the ankle. Then sketch a basic shape for the foot. Remember that this foot will not be flat on the ground.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/05-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2143\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/05-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-leg.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw woman figure lower leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat a similar process for the woman\'s right leg. Keep in mind that the woman is spinning. Her right leg is the leg she is pivoting on, so her foot will be flat on the ground and pointing forward from her point of view.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/06-how-to-draw-woman-figure-right-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2144\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/06-how-to-draw-woman-figure-right-leg.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw woman figure right leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow it is time to sketch guidelines for the arm. Make a round shape for the shoulder. Then sketch the rest of the upper arm and the forearm. The lady\'s arm is extended straight for the most part, so there should not be a noticeable bend at the elbow. Sketch the basic shapes for the hand in such a way that it appears to be holding on to fabric.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-how-to-draw-woman-figure-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2145\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-how-to-draw-woman-figure-arm.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw woman figure arm\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch a rough outline for long, flowing hair. Since the hair is in motion from the spin, draw it trailing behind her rather than flat against her back.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/08-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2146\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/08-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair-outline.jpg\" alt=\"08 how to draw woman figure hair outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, sketch some guidelines that will help to place the facial features. Draw the line for the eyes about halfway between the top of the head and the bottom of the chin. Draw the other lines as shown below. Make sure that your <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-faces-tips-techniques-and-short-tutorials/\">facial guidelines are placed properly</a>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/09-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2147\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/09-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face-guidelines.jpg\" alt=\"09 how to draw woman figure face guidelines\" width=\"796\" height=\"611\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nUse the guidelines and the reference photo to draw the eyes, eyebrows, nose, smiling mouth, and any other facial details you wish. Remember that you do not have to stick to the reference photo or my drawing exactly. You are the artist, so it\'s up to you. If you wish, you can change the woman\'s appearance simply by making the facial features look different from what you see here. I would still make sure she is smiling, since she conveys a happy mood by spinning around.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/10-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2148\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/10-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face.jpg\" alt=\"10 how to draw woman figure face\" width=\"811\" height=\"624\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch in the flowing sections of hair. Make a few strands flow away from the mass along the outer perimeter to make it look more natural.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/11-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2149\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/11-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair.jpg\" alt=\"11 how to draw woman figure hair\" width=\"608\" height=\"812\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFor the upper arm, use your kneaded eraser to get rid of the shoulder and elbow joint guidelines. Draw lines indicating the muscle connecting the upper and lower arm.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/12-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2150\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/12-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-arm.jpg\" alt=\"12 how to draw woman figure upper arm\" width=\"602\" height=\"807\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the arm by erasing the guidelines within the forearm and drawing the thumb and fingers as seen below.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/13-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2151\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/13-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-arm.jpg\" alt=\"13 how to draw woman figure lower arm\" width=\"588\" height=\"805\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw a few details to define the lady\'s feet, including her ankles. Don\'t forget to make some loose lines to represent blades of grass.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/14-how-to-draw-woman-figure-feet.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2152\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/14-how-to-draw-woman-figure-feet.jpg\" alt=\"14 how to draw woman figure feet\" width=\"804\" height=\"606\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>How to Draw the Dress</h2>\r\nNow that we have drawn a woman, it is time to see, step by step, how to draw a dress for her. Begin by sketching lines for the shoulder strap and the part of the bodice of the dress under her armpit. Also sketch in where her dress is tied in the back and hanging from a knot.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-shoulder-strap.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2153\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-shoulder-strap.jpg\" alt=\"15 step by step how to draw a dress shoulder strap\" width=\"606\" height=\"812\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow form the skirt part of the dress. Make sure it is curved at the bottom to help with the appearance of a dress in motion.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/16-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-skirt.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2154\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/16-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-skirt.jpg\" alt=\"16 step by step how to draw a dress skirt\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nGo back up to the top part of the dress. Draw some lace that follows the curvature of the woman\'s figure and that borders the shoulder strap.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/17-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lace.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2155\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/17-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lace.jpg\" alt=\"17 step by step how to draw a dress lace\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the upper half of the dress by drawing a few folds. Also make sure to draw the visible seams of the dress shown below with the blue arrows.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/18-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-upper-folds.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2156\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/18-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-upper-folds.jpg\" alt=\"18 step by step how to draw a dress upper folds\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBefore finishing the lower half of the dress, use your kneaded eraser to erase those guidelines we used to draw the woman\'s legs. You can leave a small guideline in place to show the bend of the knee that will press against the dress.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/19-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-erase.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2157\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/19-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-erase.jpg\" alt=\"19 step by step how to draw a dress erase\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nhow to draw a woman in a dress','How to Draw a Woman in a Dress Spinning Around','','inherit','open','open','','2130-revision-v1','','','2015-07-30 08:02:49','2015-07-30 15:02:49','',2130,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2130-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

Make a round shape for the shoulder. Then sketch the rest of the upper arm and the forearm. The lady\'s arm is extended straight for the most part, so there should not be a noticeable bend at the elbow. Sketch the basic shapes for the hand in such a way that it appears to be holding on to fabric.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-how-to-draw-woman-figure-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2145\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-how-to-draw-woman-figure-arm.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw woman figure arm\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch a rough outline for long, flowing hair.

Draw the line for the eyes about halfway between the top of the head and the bottom of the chin. Draw the other lines as shown below.

Remember that you do not have to stick to the reference photo or my drawing exactly. You are the artist, so it\'s up to you. If you wish, you can change the woman\'s appearance simply by making the facial features look different from what you see here.

Begin by sketching lines for the shoulder strap and the part of the bodice of the dress under her armpit. Also sketch in where her dress is tied in the back and hanging from a knot.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-shoulder-strap.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2153\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-shoulder-strap.jpg\" alt=\"15 step by step how to draw a dress shoulder strap\" width=\"606\" height=\"812\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow form the skirt part of the dress. Make sure it is curved at the bottom to help with the appearance of a dress in motion.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/16-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-skirt.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2154\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/16-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-skirt.jpg\" alt=\"16 step by step how to draw a dress skirt\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nGo back up to the top part of the dress. Draw some lace that follows the curvature of the woman\'s figure and that borders the shoulder strap.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/17-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lace.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2155\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/17-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lace.jpg\" alt=\"17 step by step how to draw a dress lace\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the bodice of the dress by drawing a few spiral folds. Also make sure to draw the visible seams of the dress shown below with the blue arrows.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/18-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-upper-folds.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2156\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/18-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-upper-folds.jpg\" alt=\"18 step by step how to draw a dress upper folds\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBefore finishing the lower half of the dress, use your kneaded eraser to erase those guidelines we used to draw the woman\'s legs. You can leave a small guideline in place to show the bend of the knee that will press against the dress.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/19-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-erase.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2157\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/19-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-erase.jpg\" alt=\"19 step by step how to draw a dress erase\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow let\'s finish the dress off by <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/picture-perfect-clothing-a-beginners-guide-to-sketching-clothes/\">drawing a few different folds</a> that will make it look like an actual dress. Begin by drawing some pipe folds from the woman\'s waist that lead to where she is holding the fabric between her thumb and finger.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/20-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2158\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/20-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-1.jpg\" alt=\"20 step by step how to draw a dress lower folds 1\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis woman is spinning in a clockwise direction. As she spins to her right, the bottom of the dress from her left side is clashing against the part from her right side that hasn\'t moved yet. Draw a few folds to represent this clash, as seen below with the green arrow. Draw the hemline along the bottom of the dress shown with the blue arrow.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/21-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-2.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2173\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/21-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-2.jpg\" alt=\"21 step by step how to draw a dress lower folds 2\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the dress by completing the hemline and the folds in the fabric that flow in the direction of the spin. Complete the underside of the dress (as seen on the right side of this drawing) in the same manner.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/22-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-3.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2160\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/22-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-3.jpg\" alt=\"22 step by step how to draw a dress lower folds 3\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\r\nIf you were following along and drawing with me while reading this, you should have something similar to the drawing below.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/how-to-draw-a-woman-in-a-dress.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2161\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/how-to-draw-a-woman-in-a-dress.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw a woman in a dress\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThat concludes this tutorial on how to draw a woman in a dress! Not only that, but completing this tutorial means you were able to draw a <em><strong>moving</strong></em> woman in a dress, a bigger challenge than drawing a woman standing still. If you made it this far, congratulations! Of course if you wanted to take it a bit further with additional details, like dress pattern and shading, that is your choice. My goal here was to just show you the basics for getting started. As you can see, it\'s not all that difficult a process.

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?\r\n\r\nThat 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.\r\n\r\nFirst things first. Let\'s get a little more familiar with what we will be drawing.\r\n<h2>What to Look for in the Woman and the Dress</h2>\r\nI 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.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woman-wearing-dress-spinning-around.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2133\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woman-wearing-dress-spinning-around.jpg\" alt=\"woman wearing dress spinning around\" width=\"472\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\nBefore 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 the woman is in motion, you notice her hair and the bottom part of the dress trailing along.\r\n\r\nThe dress has lace along the bodice and along the edges of the shoulder straps. There appears to be a knot in the back where pieces of the garment are tied together. The upper half of the dress is form-fitting, while the lower half is loose and free-flowing. There is a flower pattern on this dress that you can choose to draw if you want, but I left it out of this tutorial.\r\n<h2>Ready to Draw</h2>\r\nHopefully you are now ready to draw along with this tutorial! You can watch the video for a summary of the steps and read more detailed steps below, along with viewing the illustrations for each step. Besides my drawing paper, the only materials I used for this were a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-pencil/\">mechanical pencil</a> with <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-lead-refills/\">2B lead</a> and a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/kneaded-eraser/\">kneaded eraser.</a> Just remember to sketch your guidelines lighter than how they appear in these images.\r\n\r\n***VIDEO***\r\n<h2>How to Draw the Figure of the Woman</h2>\r\nLet\'s start by seeing how to draw the woman\'s figure. Begin by sketching the shapes for the head and the neck. Remember that we want her to lean back slightly, so draw the shapes at a slight tilt as opposed to an exact vertical position.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/01-how-to-draw-woman-figure-head-and-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2139 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/01-how-to-draw-woman-figure-head-and-neck.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw woman figure head and neck\" width=\"792\" height=\"584\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, sketch the shape of the body between the neck and the waist. Again, the woman is leaning back a little. Make sure to show the arch in the curvature of her back. Notice how the small of her back is in close alignment with the center of the neck?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/02-how-to-draw-woman-figure-torso1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2166\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/02-how-to-draw-woman-figure-torso1.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw woman figure torso\" width=\"597\" height=\"813\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the torso by drawing the shape for the pelvic region.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/03-how-to-draw-woman-figure-pelvic.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2141\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/03-how-to-draw-woman-figure-pelvic.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw woman figure pelvic\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch the shape of the upper thigh that tapers toward the knee. Draw a round circle for the knee joint.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/04-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2142\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/04-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-leg.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw woman figure upper leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the woman\'s left leg by drawing a cylinder shape for the calf that tapers at the ankle. Then sketch a basic shape for the foot. Remember that this foot will not be flat on the ground.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/05-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2143\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/05-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-leg.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw woman figure lower leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat a similar process for the woman\'s right leg. Keep in mind that the woman is spinning. Her right leg is the leg she is pivoting on, so her foot will be flat on the ground and pointing forward from her point of view.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/06-how-to-draw-woman-figure-right-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2144\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/06-how-to-draw-woman-figure-right-leg.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw woman figure right leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow it is time to sketch guidelines for the arm. Make a round shape for the shoulder. Then sketch the rest of the upper arm and the forearm. The lady\'s arm is extended straight for the most part, so there should not be a noticeable bend at the elbow. Sketch the basic shapes for the hand in such a way that it appears to be holding on to fabric.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-how-to-draw-woman-figure-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2145\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-how-to-draw-woman-figure-arm.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw woman figure arm\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch a rough outline for long, flowing hair. Since the hair is in motion from the spin, draw it trailing behind her rather than flat against her back.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/08-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2146\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/08-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair-outline.jpg\" alt=\"08 how to draw woman figure hair outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, sketch some guidelines that will help to place the facial features.

Begin by sketching lines for the shoulder strap and the part of the bodice of the dress under her armpit. Also sketch in where her dress is tied in the back and hanging from a knot.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-shoulder-strap.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2153\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-shoulder-strap.jpg\" alt=\"15 step by step how to draw a dress shoulder strap\" width=\"606\" height=\"812\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow form the skirt part of the dress. Make sure it is curved at the bottom to help with the appearance of a dress in motion.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/16-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-skirt.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2154\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/16-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-skirt.jpg\" alt=\"16 step by step how to draw a dress skirt\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nGo back up to the top part of the dress. Draw some lace that follows the curvature of the woman\'s figure and that borders the shoulder strap.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/17-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lace.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2155\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/17-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lace.jpg\" alt=\"17 step by step how to draw a dress lace\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the bodice of the dress by drawing a few spiral folds. Also make sure to draw the visible seams of the dress shown below with the blue arrows.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/18-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-upper-folds.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2156\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/18-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-upper-folds.jpg\" alt=\"18 step by step how to draw a dress upper folds\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBefore finishing the lower half of the dress, use your kneaded eraser to erase those guidelines we used to draw the woman\'s legs. You can leave a small guideline in place to show the bend of the knee that will press against the dress.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/19-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-erase.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2157\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/19-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-erase.jpg\" alt=\"19 step by step how to draw a dress erase\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow let\'s finish the dress off by <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/picture-perfect-clothing-a-beginners-guide-to-sketching-clothes/\">drawing a few different folds</a> that will make it look like an actual dress. Begin by drawing some pipe folds from the woman\'s waist that lead to where she is holding the fabric between her thumb and finger.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/20-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2158\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/20-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-1.jpg\" alt=\"20 step by step how to draw a dress lower folds 1\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis woman is spinning in a clockwise direction. As she spins to her right, the bottom of the dress from her left side is clashing against the part from her right side that hasn\'t moved yet. Draw a few folds to represent this clash, as seen below with the green arrow. Draw the hemline along the bottom of the dress shown with the blue arrow.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/21-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-2.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2173\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/21-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-2.jpg\" alt=\"21 step by step how to draw a dress lower folds 2\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the dress by completing the hemline and the folds in the fabric that flow in the direction of the spin. Complete the underside of the dress (as seen on the right side of this drawing) in the same manner.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/22-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-3.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2160\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/22-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-3.jpg\" alt=\"22 step by step how to draw a dress lower folds 3\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\r\nIf you were following along and drawing with me while reading this, you should have something similar to the drawing below.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/how-to-draw-a-woman-in-a-dress.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2161\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/how-to-draw-a-woman-in-a-dress.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw a woman in a dress\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThat concludes this tutorial on how to draw a woman in a dress! Not only that, but completing this tutorial means you were able to draw a <em><strong>moving</strong></em> woman in a dress, a bigger challenge than drawing a woman standing still. If you made it this far, congratulations! Of course if you wanted to take it a bit further with additional details, like dress pattern and shading, that is your choice. My goal here was to just show you the basics for getting started. As you can see, it\'s not all that difficult a process. If you can draw the figure of a woman and if you can draw the parts of a dress, you have all you need to draw a woman in a dress!','How to Draw a Woman in a Dress Spinning Around','','inherit','open','open','','2130-revision-v1','','','2015-07-30 08:35:38','2015-07-30 15:35:38','',2130,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2130-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2176,2,'2015-07-30 08:40:27','2015-07-30 15:40:27','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?\r\n\r\nThat 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.\r\n\r\nFirst things first. Let\'s get a little more familiar with what we will be drawing.\r\n<h2>What to Look for in the Woman and the Dress</h2>\r\nI 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.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woman-wearing-dress-spinning-around.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2133\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woman-wearing-dress-spinning-around.jpg\" alt=\"woman wearing dress spinning around\" width=\"472\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\nBefore 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 the woman is in motion, you notice her hair and the bottom part of the dress trailing along.\r\n\r\nThe dress has lace along the bodice and along the edges of the shoulder straps. There appears to be a knot in the back where pieces of the garment are tied together. The upper half of the dress is form-fitting, while the lower half is loose and free-flowing. There is a flower pattern on this dress that you can choose to draw if you want, but I left it out of this tutorial.\r\n<h2>Ready to Draw</h2>\r\nHopefully you are now ready to draw along with this tutorial! You can watch the video for a summary of the steps and read more detailed steps below, along with viewing the illustrations for each step. Besides my drawing paper, the only materials I used for this were a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-pencil/\">mechanical pencil</a> with <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-lead-refills/\">2B lead</a> and a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/kneaded-eraser/\">kneaded eraser.</a> Just remember to sketch your guidelines lighter than how they appear in these images.\r\n\r\n***VIDEO***\r\n<h2>How to Draw the Figure of the Woman</h2>\r\nLet\'s start by seeing how to draw the woman\'s figure. Begin by sketching the shapes for the head and the neck. Remember that we want her to lean back slightly, so draw the shapes at a slight tilt as opposed to an exact vertical position.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/01-how-to-draw-woman-figure-head-and-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2139 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/01-how-to-draw-woman-figure-head-and-neck.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw woman figure head and neck\" width=\"792\" height=\"584\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, sketch the shape of the body between the neck and the waist. Again, the woman is leaning back a little. Make sure to show the arch in the curvature of her back. Notice how the small of her back is in close alignment with the center of the neck?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/02-how-to-draw-woman-figure-torso1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2166\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/02-how-to-draw-woman-figure-torso1.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw woman figure torso\" width=\"597\" height=\"813\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the torso by drawing the shape for the pelvic region.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/03-how-to-draw-woman-figure-pelvic.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2141\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/03-how-to-draw-woman-figure-pelvic.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw woman figure pelvic\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch the shape of the upper thigh that tapers toward the knee. Draw a round circle for the knee joint.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/04-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2142\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/04-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-leg.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw woman figure upper leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the woman\'s left leg by drawing a cylinder shape for the calf that tapers at the ankle. Then sketch a basic shape for the foot. Remember that this foot will not be flat on the ground.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/05-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2143\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/05-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-leg.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw woman figure lower leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat a similar process for the woman\'s right leg. Keep in mind that the woman is spinning. Her right leg is the leg she is pivoting on, so her foot will be flat on the ground and pointing forward from her point of view.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/06-how-to-draw-woman-figure-right-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2144\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/06-how-to-draw-woman-figure-right-leg.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw woman figure right leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow it is time to sketch guidelines for the arm. Make a round shape for the shoulder. Then sketch the rest of the upper arm and the forearm. The lady\'s arm is extended straight for the most part, so there should not be a noticeable bend at the elbow. Sketch the basic shapes for the hand in such a way that it appears to be holding on to fabric.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-how-to-draw-woman-figure-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2145\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-how-to-draw-woman-figure-arm.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw woman figure arm\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch a rough outline for long, flowing hair. Since the hair is in motion from the spin, draw it trailing behind her rather than flat against her back.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/08-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2146\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/08-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair-outline.jpg\" alt=\"08 how to draw woman figure hair outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, sketch some guidelines that will help to place the facial features. Draw the line for the eyes about halfway between the top of the head and the bottom of the chin. Draw the other lines as shown below. Make sure that your <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-faces-tips-techniques-and-short-tutorials/\">facial guidelines are placed properly</a>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/09-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2147\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/09-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face-guidelines.jpg\" alt=\"09 how to draw woman figure face guidelines\" width=\"796\" height=\"611\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nUse the guidelines and the reference photo to draw the eyes, eyebrows, nose, smiling mouth, and any other facial details you wish. Remember that you do not have to stick to the reference photo or my drawing exactly. You are the artist, so it\'s up to you. If you wish, you can change the woman\'s appearance simply by making the facial features look different from what you see here. I would still make sure she is smiling, since she conveys a happy mood by spinning around.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/10-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2148\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/10-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face.jpg\" alt=\"10 how to draw woman figure face\" width=\"811\" height=\"624\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch in the flowing sections of hair. Make a few strands flow away from the mass along the outer perimeter to make it look more natural.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/11-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2149\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/11-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair.jpg\" alt=\"11 how to draw woman figure hair\" width=\"608\" height=\"812\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFor the upper arm, use your kneaded eraser to get rid of the shoulder and elbow joint guidelines. Draw lines indicating the muscle connecting the upper and lower arm.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/12-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2150\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/12-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-arm.jpg\" alt=\"12 how to draw woman figure upper arm\" width=\"602\" height=\"807\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the arm by erasing the guidelines within the forearm and drawing the thumb and fingers as seen below.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/13-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2151\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/13-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-arm.jpg\" alt=\"13 how to draw woman figure lower arm\" width=\"588\" height=\"805\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw a few details to define the lady\'s feet, including her ankles.

Begin by sketching lines for the shoulder strap and the part of the bodice of the dress under her armpit. Also sketch in where her dress is tied in the back and hanging from a knot.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-shoulder-strap.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2153\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-shoulder-strap.jpg\" alt=\"15 step by step how to draw a dress shoulder strap\" width=\"606\" height=\"812\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow form the skirt part of the dress.

If you made it this far, congratulations!\r\n\r\nOf course if you wanted to take it a bit further with additional details, like dress pattern and shading, that is your choice. My goal here was to just show you the basics for getting started. As you can see, it\'s not all that difficult a process. If you can draw the figure of a woman and if you can draw the parts of a dress, you have all you need to draw a woman in a dress!','How to Draw a Woman in a Dress Spinning Around','','inherit','open','open','','2130-revision-v1','','','2015-07-30 08:40:27','2015-07-30 15:40:27','',2130,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2130-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2177,2,'2015-07-30 14:35:49','2015-07-30 21:35:49','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?\r\n\r\nThat 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.\r\n\r\nFirst things first. Let\'s get a little more familiar with what we will be drawing.\r\n<h2>What to Look for in the Woman and the Dress</h2>\r\nI 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.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_2133\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"472\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woman-wearing-dress-spinning-around.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-2133 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woman-wearing-dress-spinning-around.jpg\" alt=\"woman wearing dress spinning around\" width=\"472\" height=\"800\" /></a> <b> © <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/russi_info\">Anzhelika Bosak</a> | <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></b>[/caption]\r\n\r\nBefore 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 the woman is in motion, you notice her hair and the bottom part of the dress trailing along.\r\n\r\nThe dress has lace along the bodice and along the edges of the shoulder straps. There appears to be a knot in the back where pieces of the garment are tied together. The upper half of the dress is form-fitting, while the lower half is loose and free-flowing. There is a flower pattern on this dress that you can choose to draw if you want, but I left it out of this tutorial.\r\n<h2>Ready to Draw</h2>\r\nHopefully you are now ready to draw along with this tutorial! You can watch the video for a summary of the steps and read more detailed steps below, along with viewing the illustrations for each step. Besides my drawing paper, the only materials I used for this were a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-pencil/\">mechanical pencil</a> with <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-lead-refills/\">2B lead</a> and a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/kneaded-eraser/\">kneaded eraser.</a> Just remember to sketch your guidelines lighter than how they appear in these images.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/5LeIJlCg4eM?rel=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></center>\r\n<h2>How to Draw the Figure of the Woman</h2>\r\nLet\'s start by seeing how to draw the woman\'s figure. Begin by sketching the shapes for the head and the neck. Remember that we want her to lean back slightly, so draw the shapes at a slight tilt as opposed to an exact vertical position.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/01-how-to-draw-woman-figure-head-and-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2139 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/01-how-to-draw-woman-figure-head-and-neck.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw woman figure head and neck\" width=\"792\" height=\"584\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, sketch the shape of the body between the neck and the waist. Again, the woman is leaning back a little. Make sure to show the arch in the curvature of her back. Notice how the small of her back is in close alignment with the center of the neck?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/02-how-to-draw-woman-figure-torso1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2166\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/02-how-to-draw-woman-figure-torso1.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw woman figure torso\" width=\"597\" height=\"813\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the torso by drawing the shape for the pelvic region.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/03-how-to-draw-woman-figure-pelvic.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2141\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/03-how-to-draw-woman-figure-pelvic.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw woman figure pelvic\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch the shape of the upper thigh that tapers toward the knee. Draw a round circle for the knee joint.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/04-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2142\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/04-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-leg.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw woman figure upper leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the woman\'s left leg by drawing a cylinder shape for the calf that tapers at the ankle. Then sketch a basic shape for the foot. Remember that this foot will not be flat on the ground.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/05-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2143\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/05-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-leg.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw woman figure lower leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat a similar process for the woman\'s right leg. Keep in mind that the woman is spinning. Her right leg is the leg she is pivoting on, so her foot will be flat on the ground and pointing forward from her point of view.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/06-how-to-draw-woman-figure-right-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2144\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/06-how-to-draw-woman-figure-right-leg.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw woman figure right leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow it is time to sketch guidelines for the arm. Make a round shape for the shoulder. Then sketch the rest of the upper arm and the forearm. The lady\'s arm is extended straight for the most part, so there should not be a noticeable bend at the elbow. Sketch the basic shapes for the hand in such a way that it appears to be holding on to fabric.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-how-to-draw-woman-figure-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2145\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-how-to-draw-woman-figure-arm.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw woman figure arm\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch a rough outline for long, flowing hair. Since the hair is in motion from the spin, draw it trailing behind her rather than flat against her back.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/08-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2146\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/08-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair-outline.jpg\" alt=\"08 how to draw woman figure hair outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, sketch some guidelines that will help to place the facial features. Draw the line for the eyes about halfway between the top of the head and the bottom of the chin. Draw the other lines as shown below. Make sure that your <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-faces-tips-techniques-and-short-tutorials/\">facial guidelines are placed properly</a>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/09-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2147\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/09-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face-guidelines.jpg\" alt=\"09 how to draw woman figure face guidelines\" width=\"796\" height=\"611\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nUse the guidelines and the reference photo to draw the eyes, eyebrows, nose, smiling mouth, and any other facial details you wish. Remember that you do not have to stick to the reference photo or my drawing exactly. You are the artist, so it\'s up to you. If you wish, you can change the woman\'s appearance simply by making the facial features look different from what you see here. I would still make sure she is smiling, since she conveys a happy mood by spinning around.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/10-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2148\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/10-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face.jpg\" alt=\"10 how to draw woman figure face\" width=\"811\" height=\"624\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch in the flowing sections of hair. Make a few strands flow away from the mass along the outer perimeter to make it look more natural.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/11-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2149\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/11-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair.jpg\" alt=\"11 how to draw woman figure hair\" width=\"608\" height=\"812\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFor the upper arm, use your kneaded eraser to get rid of the shoulder and elbow joint guidelines. Draw lines indicating the muscle connecting the upper and lower arm.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/12-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2150\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/12-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-arm.jpg\" alt=\"12 how to draw woman figure upper arm\" width=\"602\" height=\"807\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the arm by erasing the guidelines within the forearm and drawing the thumb and fingers as seen below.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/13-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2151\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/13-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-arm.jpg\" alt=\"13 how to draw woman figure lower arm\" width=\"588\" height=\"805\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw a few details to define the lady\'s feet, including her ankles. Don\'t forget to make some loose lines to represent blades of grass.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/14-how-to-draw-woman-figure-feet.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2152\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/14-how-to-draw-woman-figure-feet.jpg\" alt=\"14 how to draw woman figure feet\" width=\"804\" height=\"606\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>How to Draw the Dress</h2>\r\nNow that we have drawn a woman, it is time to see, step by step, how to draw a dress for her. Begin by sketching lines for the shoulder strap and the part of the bodice of the dress under her armpit. Also sketch in where her dress is tied in the back and hanging from a knot.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-shoulder-strap.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2153\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-shoulder-strap.jpg\" alt=\"15 step by step how to draw a dress shoulder strap\" width=\"606\" height=\"812\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow form the skirt part of the dress. Make sure it is curved at the bottom to help with the appearance of a dress in motion.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/16-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-skirt.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2154\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/16-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-skirt.jpg\" alt=\"16 step by step how to draw a dress skirt\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nGo back up to the top part of the dress. Draw some lace that follows the curvature of the woman\'s figure and that borders the shoulder strap.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/17-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lace.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2155\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/17-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lace.jpg\" alt=\"17 step by step how to draw a dress lace\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the bodice of the dress by drawing a few spiral folds. Also make sure to draw the visible seams of the dress shown below with the blue arrows.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/18-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-upper-folds.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2156\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/18-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-upper-folds.jpg\" alt=\"18 step by step how to draw a dress upper folds\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBefore finishing the lower half of the dress, use your kneaded eraser to erase those guidelines we used to draw the woman\'s legs. You can leave a small guideline in place to show the bend of the knee that will press against the dress.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/19-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-erase.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2157\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/19-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-erase.jpg\" alt=\"19 step by step how to draw a dress erase\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow let\'s finish the dress off by <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/picture-perfect-clothing-a-beginners-guide-to-sketching-clothes/\">drawing a few different folds</a> that will make it look like an actual dress.

As she spins to her right, the bottom of the dress from her left side is clashing against the part from her right side that hasn\'t moved yet. Draw a few folds to represent this clash, as seen below with the green arrow. Draw the hemline along the bottom of the dress shown with the blue arrow.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/21-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-2.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2173\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/21-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-2.jpg\" alt=\"21 step by step how to draw a dress lower folds 2\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the dress by completing the hemline and the folds in the fabric that flow in the direction of the spin.

It will help even more later on when we need to draw the twirling dress.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_2133\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"472\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woman-wearing-dress-spinning-around.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-2133 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/woman-wearing-dress-spinning-around.jpg\" alt=\"woman wearing dress spinning around\" width=\"472\" height=\"800\" /></a> <center><b> © <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/russi_info\">Anzhelika Bosak</a> | <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>[/caption]\r\n\r\nBefore 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 the woman is in motion, you notice her hair and the bottom part of the dress trailing along.\r\n\r\nThe dress has lace along the bodice and along the edges of the shoulder straps. There appears to be a knot in the back where pieces of the garment are tied together. The upper half of the dress is form-fitting, while the lower half is loose and free-flowing. There is a flower pattern on this dress that you can choose to draw if you want, but I left it out of this tutorial.\r\n<h2>Ready to Draw</h2>\r\nHopefully you are now ready to draw along with this tutorial! You can watch the video for a summary of the steps and read more detailed steps below, along with viewing the illustrations for each step. Besides my drawing paper, the only materials I used for this were a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-pencil/\">mechanical pencil</a> with <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-lead-refills/\">2B lead</a> and a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/kneaded-eraser/\">kneaded eraser.</a> Just remember to sketch your guidelines lighter than how they appear in these images.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/5LeIJlCg4eM?rel=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></center>\r\n<h2>How to Draw the Figure of the Woman</h2>\r\nLet\'s start by seeing how to draw the woman\'s figure. Begin by sketching the shapes for the head and the neck. Remember that we want her to lean back slightly, so draw the shapes at a slight tilt as opposed to an exact vertical position.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/01-how-to-draw-woman-figure-head-and-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2139 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/01-how-to-draw-woman-figure-head-and-neck.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw woman figure head and neck\" width=\"792\" height=\"584\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, sketch the shape of the body between the neck and the waist. Again, the woman is leaning back a little. Make sure to show the arch in the curvature of her back. Notice how the small of her back is in close alignment with the center of the neck?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/02-how-to-draw-woman-figure-torso1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2166\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/02-how-to-draw-woman-figure-torso1.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw woman figure torso\" width=\"597\" height=\"813\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the torso by drawing the shape for the pelvic region.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/03-how-to-draw-woman-figure-pelvic.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2141\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/03-how-to-draw-woman-figure-pelvic.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw woman figure pelvic\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch the shape of the upper thigh that tapers toward the knee. Draw a round circle for the knee joint.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/04-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2142\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/04-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-leg.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw woman figure upper leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the woman\'s left leg by drawing a cylinder shape for the calf that tapers at the ankle. Then sketch a basic shape for the foot. Remember that this foot will not be flat on the ground.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/05-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2143\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/05-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-leg.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw woman figure lower leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat a similar process for the woman\'s right leg. Keep in mind that the woman is spinning. Her right leg is the leg she is pivoting on, so her foot will be flat on the ground and pointing forward from her point of view.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/06-how-to-draw-woman-figure-right-leg.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2144\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/06-how-to-draw-woman-figure-right-leg.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw woman figure right leg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow it is time to sketch guidelines for the arm. Make a round shape for the shoulder. Then sketch the rest of the upper arm and the forearm. The lady\'s arm is extended straight for the most part, so there should not be a noticeable bend at the elbow. Sketch the basic shapes for the hand in such a way that it appears to be holding on to fabric.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-how-to-draw-woman-figure-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2145\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-how-to-draw-woman-figure-arm.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw woman figure arm\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch a rough outline for long, flowing hair. Since the hair is in motion from the spin, draw it trailing behind her rather than flat against her back.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/08-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2146\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/08-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair-outline.jpg\" alt=\"08 how to draw woman figure hair outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, sketch some guidelines that will help to place the facial features. Draw the line for the eyes about halfway between the top of the head and the bottom of the chin. Draw the other lines as shown below. Make sure that your <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-faces-tips-techniques-and-short-tutorials/\">facial guidelines are placed properly</a>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/09-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2147\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/09-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face-guidelines.jpg\" alt=\"09 how to draw woman figure face guidelines\" width=\"796\" height=\"611\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nUse the guidelines and the reference photo to draw the eyes, eyebrows, nose, smiling mouth, and any other facial details you wish. Remember that you do not have to stick to the reference photo or my drawing exactly. You are the artist, so it\'s up to you. If you wish, you can change the woman\'s appearance simply by making the facial features look different from what you see here. I would still make sure she is smiling, since she conveys a happy mood by spinning around.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/10-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2148\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/10-how-to-draw-woman-figure-face.jpg\" alt=\"10 how to draw woman figure face\" width=\"811\" height=\"624\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch in the flowing sections of hair. Make a few strands flow away from the mass along the outer perimeter to make it look more natural.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/11-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2149\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/11-how-to-draw-woman-figure-hair.jpg\" alt=\"11 how to draw woman figure hair\" width=\"608\" height=\"812\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFor the upper arm, use your kneaded eraser to get rid of the shoulder and elbow joint guidelines. Draw lines indicating the muscle connecting the upper and lower arm.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/12-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2150\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/12-how-to-draw-woman-figure-upper-arm.jpg\" alt=\"12 how to draw woman figure upper arm\" width=\"602\" height=\"807\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the arm by erasing the guidelines within the forearm and drawing the thumb and fingers as seen below.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/13-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-arm.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2151\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/13-how-to-draw-woman-figure-lower-arm.jpg\" alt=\"13 how to draw woman figure lower arm\" width=\"588\" height=\"805\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw a few details to define the lady\'s feet, including her ankles. Don\'t forget to make some loose lines to represent blades of grass.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/14-how-to-draw-woman-figure-feet.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2152\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/14-how-to-draw-woman-figure-feet.jpg\" alt=\"14 how to draw woman figure feet\" width=\"804\" height=\"606\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>How to Draw the Dress</h2>\r\nNow that we have drawn a woman, it is time to see, step by step, how to draw a dress for her. Begin by sketching lines for the shoulder strap and the part of the bodice of the dress under her armpit. Also sketch in where her dress is tied in the back and hanging from a knot.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-shoulder-strap.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2153\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-shoulder-strap.jpg\" alt=\"15 step by step how to draw a dress shoulder strap\" width=\"606\" height=\"812\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow form the skirt part of the dress. Make sure it is curved at the bottom to help with the appearance of a dress in motion.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/16-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-skirt.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2154\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/16-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-skirt.jpg\" alt=\"16 step by step how to draw a dress skirt\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nGo back up to the top part of the dress. Draw some lace that follows the curvature of the woman\'s figure and that borders the shoulder strap.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/17-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lace.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2155\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/17-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lace.jpg\" alt=\"17 step by step how to draw a dress lace\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the bodice of the dress by drawing a few spiral folds. Also make sure to draw the visible seams of the dress shown below with the blue arrows.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/18-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-upper-folds.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2156\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/18-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-upper-folds.jpg\" alt=\"18 step by step how to draw a dress upper folds\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBefore finishing the lower half of the dress, use your kneaded eraser to erase those guidelines we used to draw the woman\'s legs. You can leave a small guideline in place to show the bend of the knee that will press against the dress.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/19-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-erase.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2157\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/19-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-erase.jpg\" alt=\"19 step by step how to draw a dress erase\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow let\'s finish the dress off by <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/picture-perfect-clothing-a-beginners-guide-to-sketching-clothes/\">drawing a few different folds</a> that will make it look like an actual dress. Begin by drawing some pipe folds from the woman\'s waist that lead to where she is holding the fabric between her thumb and finger.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/20-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2158\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/20-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-1.jpg\" alt=\"20 step by step how to draw a dress lower folds 1\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis woman is spinning in a clockwise direction. As she spins to her right, the bottom of the dress from her left side is clashing against the part from her right side that hasn\'t moved yet. Draw a few folds to represent this clash, as seen below with the green arrow. Draw the hemline along the bottom of the dress shown with the blue arrow.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/21-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-2.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2173\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/21-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-2.jpg\" alt=\"21 step by step how to draw a dress lower folds 2\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nComplete the dress by completing the hemline and the folds in the fabric that flow in the direction of the spin. Complete the underside of the dress (as seen on the right side of this drawing) in the same manner.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/22-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-3.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2160\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/22-step-by-step-how-to-draw-a-dress-lower-folds-3.jpg\" alt=\"22 step by step how to draw a dress lower folds 3\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\r\nIf you were following along and drawing with me while reading this, you should have something similar to the drawing below.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/how-to-draw-a-woman-in-a-dress.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2161\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/how-to-draw-a-woman-in-a-dress.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw a woman in a dress\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThat concludes this tutorial on how to draw a woman in a dress! Not only that, but completing this tutorial means you were able to draw a <em><strong>moving</strong></em> woman in a dress, a bigger challenge than drawing a woman standing still. If you made it this far, congratulations!\r\n\r\nOf course if you wanted to take it a bit further with additional details, like dress pattern and shading, that is your choice. My goal here was to just show you the basics for getting started. As you can see, it\'s not all that difficult a process. If you can draw the figure of a woman and if you can draw the parts of a dress, you have all you need to draw a woman in a dress!','How to Draw a Woman in a Dress Spinning Around','','inherit','open','open','','2130-revision-v1','','','2015-07-30 14:36:57','2015-07-30 21:36:57','',2130,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2130-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2179,2,'2015-08-22 03:40:22','2015-08-22 10:40:22','Look at this old pencil portrait drawing I did many years ago...\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1575\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/nirma.jpg\" alt=\"nirma\" width=\"318\" height=\"431\" />What can you learn from it?

That is why ideally, you should get into the habit of practicing every day.\r\n\r\nI have two daily habits I would like to share with you that can help. But first...\r\n\r\nLet\'s remind ourselves why it is a great idea to practice sketching celebrities.\r\n<h2>Why You Should Get in the Habit of Sketching Celebrities</h2>\r\nIf it is your goal to draw <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/realistic-portraits/\">realistic renderings of people</a>, you want the people you draw or sketch to look like the actual person. You don\'t have to aim for perfection, but you would at least like the person to be recognizable to others who know him or her.\r\n\r\nIf you only sketch largely unknown faces, people who look at your work will not know who the person is unless you always have a reference photo nearby so they can compare.\r\n\r\nBy sketching celebrities, you can better get a sense of how you are progressing by how easily others can recognize who you drew!\r\n\r\nWhat\'s more, we are constantly inundated by images of celebrities. You will not have to look very far to find celebrity subjects to sketch.\r\n\r\nNow, here are two easy ways you can make a habit out of sketching celebrities on a regular basis...\r\n<h2>Habit #1: Sketch Celebrities from Still Images</h2>\r\nIt is very easy to find still images of celebrities. From the tabloid magazines that line the checkout aisles to the abundance of online celebrity galleries and photos, celebrity images are all around.\r\n\r\nSketching from a still image gives you the advantage of taking your time to really study and understand the unique facial characteristics that make a celebrity recognizable.\r\n\r\nYou can also find multiple images of the same celebrity from which to work. This gives you the advantage of examining traits from multiple angles. Additionally, it will allow you to improve as an artist by creating an original sketch of a recognizable celebrity that is not dependent on just one reference photograph.\r\n\r\nYou should strike a balance of working from both physical publications (like tabloids and magazines) and online media. Keep a stack of celebrity photo resources nearby where you like to sketch. Make a file folder on your computer and save celebrity images you come across that you\'d like to reference someday.\r\n\r\nTo implement this habit on a daily basis, do not put a lot of thought into who you will sketch. Just go to your magazines or computer and take about 60 seconds to choose a celebrity. Then start sketching! Don\'t spend too much time making it perfect. Remember this is just a sketch and you are trying to hone your skills by capturing a likeness.\r\n<h2>Habit #2: Sketch Celebrities from TV and Online Videos</h2>\r\nAs easy as it is to find celebrity still photographs, it is just as easy (if not easier) to just turn on your television!\r\n\r\nThe advantage of working from television, DVD/Blu-ray, online video, or any other video format is similar to working from multiple still images: you get better familiarity of the celebrities\' special physical traits from multiple perspectives, and you are loosening your dependence on working from one image.\r\n\r\nOf course, this approach does present more of a challenge since your celebrity is in motion. Yes, you could use the option of pausing your video and sketching from the screen shot. However, I would encourage you to watch a video, TV program, or movie all the way through and sketch as you watch. This will give you practice sketching from life, even though the \"life\" is on your TV or computer screen.\r\n\r\nIf you had a live model, surely he or she would be more accommodating and sit or stand still for you, but how many of us have the luxury of asking a celebrity to model for us?\r\n\r\nThink of this as being akin to going to the mall and sketching the wandering shoppers, but you get to sketch celebrities instead!\r\n\r\nTo implement this habit on a daily basis, again...do not put too much thought into it. Just turn on the TV or load one of your favorite Netflix shows and start sketching! Look for which facial traits make your chosen celebrity most recognizable to others and include those traits in your sketch.\r\n<h2>Celebrities Will Appear If You Keep \"Doing\"</h2>\r\nAs I said at the onset, the best way you can learn how to sketch celebrities is by constantly \"doing\" it. Keep the \"doing\" up by sticking to the habit of sketching celebrities every day. The idea is to make <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/drawings-of-well-known-faces/\">quick, rough celebrity sketches</a> that still capture a close resemblance. Don\'t worry too much if you don\'t get an accurate likeness every time. If you implement at least one of these two habits on a daily basis, it will get easier for you and the celebrities will begin to appear in a recognizable form on your sketch paper. You will soon see an improvement in the way your sketches resemble the intended celebrity, so keep doing it!','Learn How to Sketch Celebrities by Implementing These Two Daily Habits','','publish','open','open','','learn-how-to-sketch-celebrities-by-implementing-these-two-daily-habits','','','2015-07-31 11:56:50','2015-07-31 18:56:50','',0,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/?p=2184',0,'post','',0),(2185,2,'2015-07-31 09:08:07','2015-07-31 16:08:07','','Learn How to Sketch Celebrities by Implementing These Two Daily Habits','','inherit','open','open','','2184-revision-v1','','','2015-07-31 09:08:07','2015-07-31 16:08:07','',2184,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2184-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2186,2,'2015-07-31 09:24:52','2015-07-31 16:24:52','[caption id=\"attachment_799\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"225\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/sherman-hemsley.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-799\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/sherman-hemsley-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Sherman Hemsley&quot; by Jack Pearce\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" /></a> \"Sherman Hemsley\" by Jack Pearce[/caption]\r\n\r\nremind ourselves why to practice celebrities\r\n\r\nthe ideas is rough sketches that still capture a close resemblance. don\'t worry too much if you don\'t get an accurate likeness every time. if you implement at least one of these two habits on a daily basis, it will get easier for you and you should see an improvement in the way your sketches resemble the intended celebrity\r\n\r\nhow to capture the likenesses of well-known people.

From the tabloid magazines that line the checkout aisles to the abundance of online celebrity galleries and photos, celebrity images are all around.\r\n\r\nSketching from a still image gives you the advantage of taking your time to really study and understand the unique facial characteristics that make a celebrity recognizable.\r\n\r\nYou can also find multiple images of the same celebrity from which to work. This gives you the advantage of examining traits from multiple angles. Additionally, it will allow you to improve as an artist by creating an original sketch of a recognizable celebrity that is not dependent on just one reference photograph.\r\n\r\nYou should strike a balance of working from both physical publications (like tabloids and magazines) and online media. Keep a stack of celebrity photo resources nearby where you like to sketch. Make a file folder on your computer and save celebrity images you come across that you\'d like to reference someday.\r\n\r\nTo implement this habit on a daily basis, do not put a lot of thought into who you will sketch. Just go to your magazines or computer and take about 60 seconds to choose a celebrity. Then start sketching! Don\'t spend too much time making it perfect. Remember this is just a sketch and you are trying to hone your skills by capturing a likeness.\r\n<h2>Habit #2: Sketch Celebrities from TV and Online Videos</h2>\r\nAs easy as it is to find celebrity still photographs, it is just as easy (if not easier) to just turn on your television!\r\n\r\nThe advantage of working from television, DVD/Blu-ray, online video, or any other video format is similar to working from multiple still images: you get better familiarity of the celebrities special physical traits from multiple perspectives, and you are loosening your dependence on working from one image.\r\n\r\nOf course, this approach does present more of a challenge since your celebrity is in motion. Yes, you could use the option of pausing your video and sketching from the screen shot. However, I would encourage you to watch a video, TV program, or movie all the way through and sketch as you watch. This will give you practice sketching from life, even though the \"life\" is on your TV or computer screen.\r\n\r\nIf you had a live model, surely he or she would be more accommodating and sit or stand still for you, but how many of us have the luxury of asking a celebrity to model for us?\r\n\r\nThink of this as being akin to going to the mall and sketching the wandering shoppers, but you get to sketch celebrities instead!\r\n\r\nTo implement this habit on a daily basis, again....do not put too much thought into it. Just turn on the TV or load one of your favorite Netflix shows and start sketching! Look for which facial traits make your chosen celebrity most recognizable to others and include those traits in your sketch.\r\n<h2>Celebrities Will Appear If You Keep \"Doing\"</h2>\r\nAs I said at the onset, the best way you can learn how to sketch celebrities is by constantly \"doing\" it. Keep the \"doing\" up by sticking to the habit of sketching celebrities every day. The idea is to make quick, rough sketches that still capture a close resemblance. Don\'t worry too much if you don\'t get an accurate likeness every time. If you implement at least one of these two habits on a daily basis, it will get easier for you and the celebrities will begin to appear in a recognizable form on your sketch paper. You will soon see an improvement in the way your sketches resemble the intended celebrity, so keep doing it!','Learn How to Sketch Celebrities by Implementing These Two Daily Habits','','inherit','open','open','','2184-revision-v1','','','2015-07-31 11:36:18','2015-07-31 18:36:18','',2184,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2184-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2192,2,'2015-07-31 11:55:29','2015-07-31 18:55:29','[caption id=\"attachment_799\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"225\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/sherman-hemsley.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-799\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/sherman-hemsley-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Sherman Hemsley&quot; by Jack Pearce\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" /></a> \"Sherman Hemsley\" by Jack Pearce[/caption]\r\n\r\nFor those who wish to learn how to sketch celebrities, I remind you of the old adage \"learn by doing\".\r\n\r\nIf you want to get better at sketching celebrities, the more you actually put in the practice, the better you will get. That is why ideally, you should get into the habit of practicing every day.\r\n\r\nI have two daily habits I would like to share with you that can help. But first...\r\n\r\nLet\'s remind ourselves why it is a great idea to practice sketching celebrities.\r\n<h2>Why You Should Get in the Habit of Sketching Celebrities</h2>\r\nIf it is your goal to draw <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/realistic-portraits/\">realistic renderings of people</a>, you want the people you draw or sketch to look like the actual person. You don\'t have to aim for perfection, but you would at least like the person to be recognizable to others who know him or her.\r\n\r\nIf you only sketch largely unknown faces, people who look at your work will not know who the person is unless you always have a reference photo nearby so they can compare.\r\n\r\nBy sketching celebrities, you can better get a sense of how you are progressing by how easily others can recognize who you drew!\r\n\r\nWhat\'s more, we are constantly inundated by images of celebrities.

Just as there are differences between <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/tips-and-tricks-for-how-to-draw-children/\">drawing children</a> and adults, there are differences between drawing a younger adult and an older adult. If you think drawing an old man is difficult, not to worry! The differences between drawing a young man and an older gentleman are actually very few, in my opinion.\r\n\r\nIn this tutorial, I will show you how to draw an old man on his birthday. Here is the reference photograph we will use throughout the lesson.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_2199\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"600\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/how-to-draw-an-old-man-on-his-birthday.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-2199 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/how-to-draw-an-old-man-on-his-birthday.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw an old man on his birthday\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a> <b> © <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/hartphotography_info\">Hartphotography</a> | <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></b>[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nI will break this lesson down into two main parts. The first part consists of drawing the basic facial features, which for an old man is no different than for a younger man. The main thing that is different about drawing an old man is properly indicating the placement of wrinkles. The second part of the lesson will cover that.\r\n<h2>Draw the Basics for the Face</h2>\r\nBegin by drawing the basic guidelines for the face. If you know how to draw a face, you should know that the basics for guidelines that place facial features are the same for an adult of any age.

You can use any kind of pencil you want, but I found my <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-pencil/\">mechanical pencil</a> especially helpful for the many fine lines that are called for in later steps of this tutorial.\r\n\r\nIf you know how to draw a face, you should know that the basics for guidelines that place facial features are the same for an adult of any age. Use the diagram below to get you started with <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-faces-tips-techniques-and-short-tutorials/\">properly placed guidelines</a> for this man.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/01-how-to-draw-an-old-man-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2202 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/01-how-to-draw-an-old-man-guidelines.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw an old man guidelines\" width=\"646\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw the facial features. See that the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears fit within the parameters of your guidelines. Use a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/circle-template/\">circle template</a> to draw the perfectly round circles forming each iris.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/02-how-to-draw-an-old-man-facial-features.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2200\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/02-how-to-draw-an-old-man-facial-features.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw an old man facial features\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nErase the guidelines with <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/kneaded-eraser/\">a kneaded eraser for the tight spots</a>. Then draw the the man\'s hair.

Begin by drawing wrinkles on the forehead. These are often called \"worry lines\". But how many should you draw? I count about four rows on our subject. They should be somewhat disconnected and follow the curvature of the skull.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/04-how-to-draw-an-old-man-forehead.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2201\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/04-how-to-draw-an-old-man-forehead.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw an old man forehead\" width=\"800\" height=\"254\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw wrinkles around the eyes. As you can see, lots of wrinkles form around the eyes as we get older. But where do you begin? Use the image below to guide you. Except for the frown lines shown by the green arrow, the wrinkles indicated by the other arrows should be duplicated on both sides of the face. These include wrinkles above the eyebrows (blue), crow\'s feet (red), \"bags\" under the eyes (yellow), and even a wrinkle on each eyelid (purple).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/05-how-to-draw-an-old-man-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2197\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/05-how-to-draw-an-old-man-eyes.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw an old man eyes\" width=\"800\" height=\"234\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw wrinkles around the nose and mouth. These include lines that come down the cheeks from the eyes (blue), the nasolabial folds or \"smile lines\" (red), and wrinkles along the sides of the cheeks beside the mouth (green) and under the mouth for the chin (yellow).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/06-how-to-draw-an-old-man-lower-face.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2194\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/06-how-to-draw-an-old-man-lower-face.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw an old man lower face\" width=\"729\" height=\"485\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis is how the old man\'s face should look after drawing the wrinkles.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/07-how-to-draw-an-old-man-with-wrinkles.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2195\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/07-how-to-draw-an-old-man-with-wrinkles.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw an old man with wrinkles\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Finishing Details</h2>\r\nComplete the picture by drawing the details on the birthday hat and the man\'s shirt. Make the cone atop the man\'s head look like a birthday hat with a few balloons, ribbons, and stars. I used the straight edge of my circle template to straighten the lines on each side of the birthday hat. Make an open collar and a few <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/picture-perfect-clothing-a-beginners-guide-to-sketching-clothes/\">carefully placed folds</a> for the man\'s shirt. Remember to draw a few wrinkles that indicate the man\'s neck.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/how-to-draw-an-old-man.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2196\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/how-to-draw-an-old-man.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw an old man\" width=\"645\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThese steps will leave you with a completed line drawing of an old man. If you want to take your drawing to the next level, you can feel free to add some <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/take-the-stress-out-of-shading-with-these-pencil-shading-techniques/\">shading</a>. You can also leave it as is, your choice!\r\n\r\nThat concludes this tutorial on how to draw an old man.

These include wrinkles above the eyebrows (blue), crow\'s feet (red), \"bags\" under the eyes (yellow), and even a wrinkle on each eyelid (purple).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/05-how-to-draw-an-old-man-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2197\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/05-how-to-draw-an-old-man-eyes.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw an old man eyes\" width=\"800\" height=\"234\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw wrinkles around the nose and mouth.

Make an open collar and a few <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/picture-perfect-clothing-a-beginners-guide-to-sketching-clothes/\">carefully placed folds</a> for the man\'s shirt.

Just as there are differences between <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/tips-and-tricks-for-how-to-draw-children/\">drawing children</a> and adults, there are differences between drawing a younger adult and an older adult. If you think drawing an old man is difficult, not to worry! The differences between drawing a young man and an older gentleman are actually very few, in my opinion.\r\n\r\nIn this tutorial, I will show you how to draw an old man on his birthday. Here is the reference photograph we will use throughout the lesson.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_2199\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"600\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/how-to-draw-an-old-man-on-his-birthday.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-2199 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/how-to-draw-an-old-man-on-his-birthday.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw an old man on his birthday\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a> <b> © <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/hartphotography_info\">Hartphotography</a> | <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></b>[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nI will break this lesson down into two main parts. The first part consists of drawing the basic facial features, which for an old man is no different than for a younger man. The main thing that is different about drawing an old man is properly indicating the placement of wrinkles. The second part of the lesson will cover that.\r\n<h2>Draw the Basics for the Face</h2>\r\nBegin by drawing the basic guidelines for the face. You can use any kind of pencil you want, but I found my <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-pencil/\">mechanical pencil</a> especially helpful for the many fine lines that are called for in later steps of this tutorial.\r\n\r\nIf you know how to draw a face, you should know that the basics for guidelines that place facial features are the same for an adult of any age. Use the diagram below to get you started with <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-faces-tips-techniques-and-short-tutorials/\">properly placed guidelines</a> for this man.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/01-how-to-draw-an-old-man-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2202 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/01-how-to-draw-an-old-man-guidelines.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw an old man guidelines\" width=\"646\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw the facial features. See that the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears fit within the parameters of your guidelines. Use a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/circle-template/\">circle template</a> to draw the perfectly round circles forming each iris.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/02-how-to-draw-an-old-man-facial-features.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2200\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/02-how-to-draw-an-old-man-facial-features.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw an old man facial features\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nErase the guidelines with <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/kneaded-eraser/\">a kneaded eraser for the tight spots</a>. Then draw the the man\'s hair. This includes the hair on the top of his head as well as his eyebrows and moustache.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/03-how-to-draw-an-old-man-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2198\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/03-how-to-draw-an-old-man-hair.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw an old man hair\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>How to Draw Wrinkles</h2>\r\nNow let\'s see how to draw wrinkles that would realistically appear on an old man. Begin by drawing wrinkles on the forehead. These are often called \"worry lines\". But how many should you draw? I count about four rows on our subject. They should be somewhat disconnected and follow the curvature of the skull.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/04-how-to-draw-an-old-man-forehead.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2201\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/04-how-to-draw-an-old-man-forehead.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw an old man forehead\" width=\"800\" height=\"254\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw wrinkles around the eyes. As you can see, lots of wrinkles form around the eyes as we get older. But where do you begin? Use the image below to guide you. Except for the frown lines shown by the green arrow, the wrinkles indicated by the other arrows should be duplicated on both sides of the face.

Make the cone atop the man\'s head look like a birthday hat with a few balloons, ribbons, and stars. I used the straight edge of my circle template to straighten the lines on each side of the birthday hat. Draw a string from the hat that goes around the man\'s chin.

These unique characteristics of teeth play a large part in shaping a person\'s appearance.\r\n\r\nThis tutorial will show how to draw teeth for a person who is looking directly ahead and smiling. Again, just as individual teeth are unique, individual smiles are also unique. Some smiles, either naturally or purposefully, will show more teeth than others. Some smiles show the top and bottom teeth while other smiles barely reveal any bottom teeth at all.\r\n\r\nThe size generalizations can be applied to almost anyone\'s teeth.\r\n\r\nWhen not using this technique, I tend to draw the lips first before drawing any teeth.

The steps below will take you from how to draw light guidelines to drawing the top teeth, bottom teeth, and the back teeth and surrounding mouth.\r\n<h3>Drawing the Childhood Shortcut</h3>\r\nAlthough I am sure you can draw the childhood version of teeth with your eyes closed, I want to point out a couple of things that you will need to know for later. That\'s why I will still walk you through the steps.\r\n\r\nBegin by drawing the outline of the mouth. This will serve as a rough outline for the opening part of the lips later on.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/01-how-to-draw-teeth-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2229\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/01-how-to-draw-teeth-outline.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw teeth outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext draw a vertical line in the center and a curved horizontal line across. The vertical line will divide the right and left halves of the mouth. The curved line will separate the top and bottom teeth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/02-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-sections.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2224\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/02-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-sections.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw teeth guidelines for sections\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw three vertical lines on one side of the center line. Make sure the spacing is wider next to the center line so it can hold the central incisor. The other lines can have narrower spacing between them.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/03-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-right-teeth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2223\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/03-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-right-teeth.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw teeth guidelines for right teeth\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat this process on the other side. Here is the childhood version of teeth that we will use as a shortcut to drawing teeth that look a little more \"grown-up\".\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/04-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-left-teeth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2222\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/04-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-left-teeth.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw teeth guidelines for left teeth\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Drawing the Top Teeth</h3>\r\nThese lines will be the guidelines that will help you to draw the top teeth. Begin by drawing the upper central incisors. You will mostly stay within the limits of the boxes. Curve the upper part of each tooth\'s gum line.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/05-how-to-draw-teeth-top-central-incisors.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2226\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/05-how-to-draw-teeth-top-central-incisors.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw teeth top central incisors\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\nWhen not using this technique, I tend to draw the lips first before drawing any teeth.

Here is the childhood version of teeth that we will use as a shortcut to drawing teeth that look a little more \"grown-up\".\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/04-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-left-teeth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2222\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/04-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-left-teeth.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw teeth guidelines for left teeth\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Drawing the Top Teeth</h3>\r\nThese lines will be the guidelines that will help you to draw the top teeth. Begin by drawing the upper central incisors. You will mostly stay within the limits of the boxes. Curve the upper part of each tooth\'s gum line.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/05-how-to-draw-teeth-top-central-incisors.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2226\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/05-how-to-draw-teeth-top-central-incisors.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw teeth top central incisors\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext draw the upper lateral incisors in a similar way. Also notice the rounded corners.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/06-how-to-draw-teeth-top-lateral-incisors.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2228\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/06-how-to-draw-teeth-top-lateral-incisors.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw teeth top lateral incisors\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw the canines (or cuspids) for the top. Again, you are mostly staying within the boxes, but as you see below, you want to pay close attention to the reference photo of your subject. Most teeth are not the exact size, shape, or position as their counterparts. Draw each tooth as you see it as closely as you can to bring out that uniqueness and individuality.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/07-how-to-draw-teeth-top-canines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2225\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/07-how-to-draw-teeth-top-canines.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw teeth top canines\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Drawing the Bottom Teeth</h3>\r\nThe guidelines used for the top teeth will not really benefit us for the bottom teeth. If we drew the bottom teeth in the same manner as we did the top, we would have some very unnatural-looking human teeth!\r\n\r\nBegin with the central incisors on the bottom. Again, teeth are not perfect, so the central line is not lined up exactly on the top and bottom for this person. Remember that these incisors are much smaller than the ones on top. I\'d say that on average, these teeth are about one-half to two-thirds the width of their upper counterparts.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/08-how-to-draw-teeth-bottom-central-incisors.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2219\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/08-how-to-draw-teeth-bottom-central-incisors.jpg\" alt=\"08 how to draw teeth bottom central incisors\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat for the lateral incisors on the bottom. Remember that the curved outline on the bottom is the opening of the lower lip. This person\'s lower lip will be covering some of her lower teeth around the gum line. Below you can see that I am temporarily sketching in the gum line that will be hidden by the lip later.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/09-how-to-draw-teeth-bottom-lateral-incisors.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2221\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/09-how-to-draw-teeth-bottom-lateral-incisors.jpg\" alt=\"09 how to draw teeth bottom lateral incisors\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhen not using this technique, I tend to draw the lips first before drawing any teeth. However, lips would have gotten in the way of showing you the first part of the childhood shortcut.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','This Childhood Shortcut Will Show You How to Draw Teeth','','inherit','open','open','','2211-revision-v1','','','2015-08-09 13:22:55','2015-08-09 20:22:55','',2211,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2211-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2235,2,'2015-08-09 13:51:03','2015-08-09 20:51:03','Of all the facial features that exist, teeth have to rank as one of the most challenging to draw. First of all, each tooth seems to have its own special shape. Not to mention there are so many of them!\r\n\r\nTeeth are very unique from one person to the next. The unique characteristics of teeth play a large part in shaping a person\'s appearance. If you are trying to capture a strong likeness of a person, the way you portray that person\'s teeth can make or break your portrait.\r\n\r\nHowever, teeth were not always so difficult to draw. If you have ever drawn teeth as a child, they may have looked something like this:\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/04-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-left-teeth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2222\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/04-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-left-teeth-300x113.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw teeth guidelines for left teeth\" width=\"300\" height=\"113\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis cartoonish version of teeth is how I remember drawing them many times as a child. Surely I am not the only one.\r\n\r\nAhh, the good ol\' days! If only we could still draw teeth this quickly and easily and have the same satisfaction we did back then.\r\n\r\nWell, I am not saying we can get away with this as an adult trying to draw realistic teeth. What I will tell you is there is a way to use this childhood drawing to our advantage, as a shortcut.\r\n\r\nThis tutorial will show how to draw teeth for a person who is looking directly ahead and smiling. The childish drawing of teeth seen above can actually be used as helpful guidelines to get you started.\r\n\r\nAgain, just as individual teeth are unique, individual smiles are also unique. Some smiles, either naturally or purposefully, will show more teeth than others. Some smiles show the top and bottom teeth while other smiles barely reveal any bottom teeth at all.\r\n\r\nThe following reference photograph will serve as good practice since it is a natural-looking smile that reveals bottom teeth as well as the top teeth.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_2218\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"800\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/how-to-draw-teeth-ref.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2218\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/how-to-draw-teeth-ref.jpg\" alt=\" © Igor Mojzes | Dreamstime.com\" width=\"800\" height=\"438\" /></a> <center><b> © <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/luckybusiness_info\">Igor Mojzes</a> | <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>[/caption]\r\n<h2>Identifying the Teeth to Be Drawn</h2>\r\nWhen learning how to draw teeth, I found it very helpful to have an understanding of the different kinds of teeth in the mouth. The image below identifies the names of the teeth that are visible.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/names-of-the-teeth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2215 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/names-of-the-teeth.jpg\" alt=\"names of the teeth\" width=\"800\" height=\"438\" /></a>\r\n\r\nIt is important to note the obvious: the bottom incisors are much smaller than the top. Therefore, this leaves a noticeable slant in the alignment of common teeth types from top to bottom. Although teeth have their own unique characteristics from person to person, the size generalizations seen here can be applied to almost anyone\'s teeth.\r\n<h2>How to Draw the Teeth</h2>\r\nNow let\'s see the steps necessary to draw teeth. The steps below will take you from how to draw light guidelines to drawing the top teeth, bottom teeth, and the back teeth and surrounding mouth.\r\n<h3>Drawing the Childhood Shortcut</h3>\r\nAlthough I am sure you can draw the childhood version of teeth with your eyes closed, I want to point out a couple of things that you will need to know for later. That\'s why I will still walk you through the steps.\r\n\r\nBegin by drawing the outline of the mouth. This will serve as a rough outline for the opening part of the lips later on.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/01-how-to-draw-teeth-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2229\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/01-how-to-draw-teeth-outline.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw teeth outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext draw a vertical line in the center and a curved horizontal line across. The vertical line will divide the right and left halves of the mouth. The curved line will separate the top and bottom teeth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/02-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-sections.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2224\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/02-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-sections.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw teeth guidelines for sections\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw three vertical lines on one side of the center line. Make sure the spacing is wider next to the center line so it can hold the central incisor. The other lines can have narrower spacing between them. For a more accurate likeness, pay close attention to the top row of teeth in your reference photo and try to match the spacing as closely as possible.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/03-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-right-teeth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2223\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/03-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-right-teeth.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw teeth guidelines for right teeth\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat this process on the other side. Here is the childhood version of teeth that we will use as a shortcut to drawing teeth that look a little more \"grown-up\".\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/04-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-left-teeth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2222\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/04-how-to-draw-teeth-guidelines-for-left-teeth.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw teeth guidelines for left teeth\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Drawing the Top Teeth</h3>\r\nThese lines will be the guidelines that will help you to draw the top teeth. Begin by drawing the upper central incisors. You will mostly stay within the limits of the boxes. Curve the upper part of each tooth\'s gum line.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/05-how-to-draw-teeth-top-central-incisors.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2226\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/05-how-to-draw-teeth-top-central-incisors.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw teeth top central incisors\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext draw the upper lateral incisors in a similar way. Also notice the rounded corners.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/06-how-to-draw-teeth-top-lateral-incisors.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2228\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/06-how-to-draw-teeth-top-lateral-incisors.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw teeth top lateral incisors\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw the canines (or cuspids) for the top. Again, you are mostly staying within the boxes, but as you see below, you want to pay close attention to the reference photo of your subject. Most teeth are not the exact size, shape, or position as their counterparts. Draw each tooth as you see it as closely as you can to bring out that uniqueness and individuality.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/07-how-to-draw-teeth-top-canines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2225\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/07-how-to-draw-teeth-top-canines.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw teeth top canines\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Drawing the Bottom Teeth</h3>\r\nThe guidelines used for the top teeth will not really benefit us for the bottom teeth.

Remember that the curved outline on the bottom is the opening of the lower lip. This woman\'s lower lip will be covering some of her lower teeth around the gum line. Below you can see that I am temporarily sketching in the gum line that will be hidden by the lip later.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/09-how-to-draw-teeth-bottom-lateral-incisors.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2221\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/09-how-to-draw-teeth-bottom-lateral-incisors.jpg\" alt=\"09 how to draw teeth bottom lateral incisors\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow draw the lower canines. Make sure you draw them at the proper angle in relation to the top canines.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/10-how-to-draw-teeth-bottom-canines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2220\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/10-how-to-draw-teeth-bottom-canines.jpg\" alt=\"10 how to draw teeth bottom canines\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nErase your guidelines. You should have the twelve most visible teeth from a forward-facing smile, as seen below.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/11-how-to-draw-teeth-erase-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2227\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/11-how-to-draw-teeth-erase-guidelines.jpg\" alt=\"11 how to draw teeth erase guidelines\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhen not using this technique, I tend to draw the lips first before drawing any teeth. However, lips would have gotten in the way of showing you the first part of the childhood shortcut. Before drawing any more teeth, draw the lips and surrounding mouth area.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/12-how-to-draw-teeth-lips.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2217\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/12-how-to-draw-teeth-lips.jpg\" alt=\"12 how to draw teeth lips\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSince the remaining teeth are curving toward the back of the mouth and partially hidden by each other and the lips, they are much easier to draw now that the lips are done. In my experience with drawing different smiles in this position, most often you can see from two to four teeth past the canines. In our example, you can see the two premolars (or bicuspids) and one of the molars on each side on the top. There are fewer visible on the bottom.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/how-to-draw-teeth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2216\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/how-to-draw-teeth.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw teeth\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Finishing Up</h2>\r\nThat concludes this tutorial on how to draw teeth using a popular childhood sketch as a shortcut! As always, you can go further. You can draw the various highlights on the teeth and gums. You can add more details and even shade your drawing. But remember, if are trying to capture the likeness of a person revealing a large smile in a photograph, it is absolutely crucial that you draw their teeth as closely as possible to how they appear in real life. Not doing so will hinder your efforts of an accurate portrayal, even if other parts of the face are drawn right.

It highlights some important factors that will help you develop an appropriate starting price that works for you.\r\n<h2>Where in the Market Do You Want to Be?</h2>\r\nThere are several popular methods artists use to price their work. One of those methods involves artists pricing their work based on how other artists who create similar pieces are pricing work.\r\n\r\nSo if you want to offer realistic pencil portraits to clients, you would simply research other artists who are selling realistic pencil portraits and take note of their prices.\r\n\r\nYou will find a broad range of starting prices among these artists. What you should do is sort the prices from low to high to get a sense of the market. You can also look at samples of their work. Take this into consideration along with the range of prices and decide where along the spectrum you thing your work should fall.\r\n\r\nYou could do this research on your own by looking up pencil portrait artists on a search engine. If you would rather save some time, I did already compile and sort a list of starting prices from ten pencil portrait artists who sell their services online. I have already made this list available to my newsletter subscribers for free. If you would like your own copy, you can sign up for my newsletter in the box below and I will send you the list!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Experience and Name Recognition</h2>\r\nAnother factor that plays a part in how pencil portraits are priced is the experience and/or name recognition of the artist. Obviously if you are just still learning how to draw portraits, you will not have either of these. This will also be the case if you have been practicing for quite some time but are just now warming up to the possibility of selling your portraits on commission.\r\n\r\nArtists with more experience and name recognition tend to be able to charge higher prices and still secure paying customers. This is for a number of reasons. Artists who have many years of experience in their craft will certainly produce work at a level of quality that is deserving of higher commissions.\r\n\r\nExperience can also come in the form of years in business. Spending more years in the business brings more name recognition in the market. If artists have commissioned portraits for a long time, they understand the business side of the art enough to handle customer service, special requests, and their reputation in a way that builds the kind of trust for which customers are willing to pay more.\r\n<h2>At What Quality Are Your Pencil Portrait Drawings?</h2>\r\nYou should be confident that your pencil portraits are a \"good enough\" quality that other people will be willing to pay you for them.\r\n\r\nThe good news is there are different levels of quality. Some artists at fairs and festivals focus solely on selling sketches of people for $10 to $20 apiece. You could just as easily choose to sell sketches at these prices while working from photographs.\r\n\r\nGenerally speaking, as the quality of work increases, so will the prices. Realistic pencil portraits will cost more than sketches, and hyperrealistic portraits that look like actual photographs will cost a LOT more than your \"average\" realistic portraits.\r\n\r\nMore factors that affect price include size, number of subjects, and amount of detail in the portrait:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>A few common sizes artists provide are 8\" x 10\", 11\" x 14\", 16\" x 20\", and even much larger canvases.</li>\r\n	<li>A portrait of one single person will cost less than a family portrait of four people.</li>\r\n	<li>A portrait can be anything from a head-and-shoulders view to a full-length, head-to-toe view.</li>\r\n	<li>Will there be a blank background or a detailed setting?</li>\r\n	<li>Is the person in your portrait wearing a plain white t shirt or a fancy blouse with an elaborate pattern that your client requested you to include?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2>Demand Influences Portrait Prices</h2>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>The Best Place to Start</h2>\r\nthis list is more than enough to give you an idea of where to start','\"Where Should I Begin Setting Pencil Portrait Drawing Prices?\"','','inherit','open','open','','2237-revision-v1','','','2015-08-16 10:34:37','2015-08-16 17:34:37','',2237,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2237-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2241,2,'2015-08-16 10:52:39','2015-08-16 17:52:39','You really love to draw pencil portraits.\r\n\r\nYou love creating pencil portrait drawings so much that you practice all the time.

At the same time, know that it is a balancing act and you don\'t want to undersell your work and your value.\r\n\r\nRemember that you can get my compiled list of starting prices and save time from all the research by signing up for my newsletter. This list is more than enough to give you an idea of where to start.\r\n\r\nOne final note: demand influences prices. As you gain experience and more customers than you can handle in a timely manner, it is okay to <em><strong>gradually</strong></em> raise your pencil portrait drawing prices.

As you practice, you get noticeably better and better.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you begin to get so much better that people are beginning to <em><strong>come to you</strong></em> to ask you to draw a portrait for them!\r\n\r\nMaybe you have experienced the scenario above. Or, maybe no one has come to you yet, but you are getting increasingly confident in your ability to render a successful likeness of a person&#133;so confident that you are ready to offer your services to draw pencil portraits for people who are willing to pay you!\r\n\r\nIt is exciting to think that you can go into business for yourself and get paid for something you enjoy doing! However, if you have little to no experience drawing commissioned portraits for clients, you may be asking yourself &#147;Where should I begin setting my pencil portrait drawing prices?&#148;\r\n\r\nThis article aims to guide you in the right direction. It highlights some important factors that will help you develop an appropriate starting price that works for you.\r\n<h2>Where in the Market Do You Want to Be?</h2>\r\nThere are several popular methods artists use to price their work. One of those methods involves artists pricing their&nbsp;work based on how other artists who create similar pieces are pricing work.\r\n\r\nSo if you want to offer realistic pencil portraits to clients, you would simply research other artists who are selling realistic pencil portraits and take note of their prices.\r\n\r\nYou will find a broad range of starting prices among these artists. What you should do is sort the prices from low to high to get a sense of the market. You can also look at samples of their work. Take this into consideration along with the range of prices and decide where along the spectrum you thing your work should fall.\r\n\r\nYou could do this research on your own by looking up pencil portrait artists on a search engine. If you would rather save some time, I did already compile and sort a list of starting prices from ten pencil portrait artists who sell their services online. I have already made this list available to my newsletter subscribers for free. If you would like your own copy, you can sign up for my newsletter in the box below and I will send you the list!\r\n\r\n<center>\r\n<div class=\"AW-Form-622166577\"></div>\r\n</center>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Experience and Name Recognition</h2>\r\nAnother factor that plays a part in how pencil portraits are priced is the experience and/or name recognition of the artist. Obviously if you are just still learning how to draw portraits, you will not have either of these. This will also be the case if you have been practicing for quite some time but are just now warming up to the possibility of selling your portraits on commission.\r\n\r\nArtists with more experience and name recognition tend to be able to charge higher prices and still secure&nbsp;paying customers. This is for a number of reasons. Artists who have many years of experience in their craft will certainly produce&nbsp;work at&nbsp;a level of quality that is deserving of higher commissions.\r\n\r\nExperience can also come in the form of years in business. Spending more years in the business brings more name recognition in the market. If artists&nbsp;have commissioned portraits for a long time, they understand the business side of the art enough to handle customer service, special requests, and their reputation in a way that builds the kind of trust for which customers are willing to pay more.\r\n<h2>At What Quality Are Your Pencil Portrait Drawings?</h2>\r\nYou should be confident that your pencil portraits are a \"good enough\" quality that other people will be willing to pay you for them.\r\n\r\nThe good news is there are different levels of quality. Some artists at fairs and festivals focus solely on selling sketches of people for $10 to $20 apiece. You could just as easily choose to sell sketches at these prices while working from photographs.\r\n\r\nGenerally speaking, as the quality of work increases, so will the prices. Realistic pencil portraits will cost more than sketches, and hyperrealistic portraits that look like actual photographs will cost a LOT more than your \"average\" realistic portraits.\r\n\r\nMore factors that affect price include size, number of subjects, and amount of detail in the portrait:\r\n<ul><li>A few common sizes artists provide are 8\" x 10\", 11\" x 14\", 16\" x 20\", and even much larger canvases.</li>\r\n	<li>A portrait of one single person will cost less than a family portrait of four people.</li>\r\n	<li>A portrait can be anything from&nbsp;a head-and-shoulders view to a full-length, head-to-toe view.</li>\r\n	<li>Will there be a blank background or a detailed setting?</li>\r\n	<li>Is the person in your portrait wearing a plain white t shirt or a fancy blouse with an elaborate pattern that your client requested you to include?</li>\r\n</ul><h2>The Best Place to Start</h2>\r\nIf you are just starting out, the best place to start is with very low prices. Start on the low end of your market research for realistic pencil portraits. If you are selling sketches, start even lower. At the same time, know that it is a balancing act and you don\'t want to undersell your work and your value.\r\n\r\nRemember that you can get my compiled list of starting prices and save time from all the research by signing up for my newsletter. This list is more than enough to give you an idea of where to start.\r\n\r\nOne final note: demand influences prices.

If artists&nbsp;have commissioned portraits for a long time, they understand the business side of the art enough to handle customer service, special requests, and their reputation in a way that builds the kind of trust for which customers are willing to pay more.\r\n<h2>At What Quality Are Your Pencil Portrait Drawings?</h2>\r\nYou should be confident that your pencil portraits are a \"good enough\" quality that other people will be willing to pay you for them.\r\n\r\nThe good news is there are different levels of quality. Some artists at fairs and festivals focus solely on selling sketches of people for $10 to $20 apiece. You could just as easily choose to sell sketches at these prices while working from photographs.\r\n\r\nGenerally speaking, as the quality of work increases, so will the prices. Realistic pencil portraits will cost more than sketches, and hyperrealistic portraits that look like actual photographs will cost a LOT more than your \"average\" realistic portraits.\r\n\r\nMore factors that affect price include size, number of subjects, and amount of detail in the portrait:\r\n<ul><li>A few common sizes artists provide are 8\" x 10\", 11\" x 14\", 16\" x 20\", and even much larger canvases.</li>\r\n	<li>A portrait of one single person will cost less than a family portrait of four people.</li>\r\n	<li>A portrait can be anything from&nbsp;a head-and-shoulders view to a full-length, head-to-toe view.</li>\r\n	<li>Will there be a blank background or a detailed setting?</li>\r\n	<li>Is the person in your portrait wearing a plain white t shirt or a fancy blouse with an elaborate pattern that your client requested you to include?</li>\r\n</ul><h2>The Best Place to Start</h2>\r\nIf you are just starting out, the best place to start is with very low prices.

As you practice, you get noticeably better and better.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you begin to get so much better that people are beginning to <em><strong>come to you</strong></em> to ask you to draw a portrait for them!\r\n\r\nMaybe you have experienced the scenario above. Or, maybe no one has come to you yet, but you are getting increasingly confident in your ability to render a successful likeness of a person&#133;so confident that you are ready to offer your services to draw pencil portraits for people who are willing to pay you!\r\n\r\nIt is exciting to think that you can go into business for yourself and get paid for something you enjoy doing! However, if you have little to no experience drawing commissioned portraits for clients, you may be asking yourself &#147;Where should I begin setting my pencil portrait drawing prices?&#148;\r\n\r\nThis article aims to guide you in the right direction. It highlights some important factors that will help you develop an appropriate starting price that works for you.\r\n<h2>Where in the Market Do You Want to Be?</h2>\r\nThere are several popular methods artists use to price their work. One of those methods involves artists pricing their&nbsp;work based on how other artists who create similar pieces are pricing work.\r\n\r\nSo if you want to offer realistic pencil portraits to clients, you would simply research other artists who are selling realistic pencil portraits and take note of their prices.\r\n\r\nYou will find a broad range of starting prices among these artists. What you should do is sort the prices from low to high to get a sense of the market. You can also look at samples of their work. Take this into consideration along with the range of prices and decide where along the spectrum you thing your work should fall.\r\n\r\nYou could do this research on your own by looking up pencil portrait artists on a search engine. If you would rather save some time, I did already compile and sort a list of starting prices from ten pencil portrait artists who sell their services online. I have already made this list available to my newsletter subscribers for free. If you would like your own copy, you can sign up for my newsletter in the box below and I will send you the list!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div class=\"AW-Form-622166577\"></div>\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Experience and Name Recognition</h2>\r\nAnother factor that plays a part in how pencil portraits are priced is the experience and/or name recognition of the artist. Obviously if you are just still learning how to draw portraits, you will not have either of these. This will also be the case if you have been practicing for quite some time but are just now warming up to the possibility of selling your portraits on commission.\r\n\r\nArtists with more experience and name recognition tend to be able to charge higher prices and still secure&nbsp;paying customers. This is for a number of reasons. Artists who have many years of experience in their craft will certainly produce&nbsp;work at&nbsp;a level of quality that is deserving of higher commissions.\r\n\r\nExperience can also come in the form of years in business. Spending more years in the business brings more name recognition in the market. If artists&nbsp;have commissioned portraits for a long time, they understand the business side of the art enough to handle customer service, special requests, and their reputation in a way that builds the kind of trust for which customers are willing to pay more.\r\n<h2>At What Quality Are Your Pencil Portrait Drawings?</h2>\r\nYou should be confident that your pencil portraits are a \"good enough\" quality that other people will be willing to pay you for them.\r\n\r\nThe good news is there are different levels of quality.

In this short tutorial, we will see how to draw an army man saluting.\r\n\r\nBelow is a reference photo that will come in handy. It definitely came in handy for me. Even though I myself am an army veteran, it has been roughly 15 years since I last wore a set of fatigues, also known at the time as BDU\'s (or Battle Dress Uniforms). I have since learned that there have been a lot of changes! As of 2004, they are called ACU\'s (or Army Combat Uniforms) and look very different from what I used to wear.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_2267\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"800\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/how-to-draw-an-army-man-saluting.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-2267 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/how-to-draw-an-army-man-saluting.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw an army man saluting\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a> <center>© <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/burlingham_info\">Elliot Burlingham</a> | <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></center>[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw the Basic Outline</h2>\r\nDraw the basic shapes for the head and torso. As you can tell from the photo, this is not a direct frontal view but rather a quarter-turn view. Account for this as you sketch the head shape by planning for the side of the face on one side and the back of the head on the other.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/01-how-to-draw-an-army-man-head-and-body-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2279\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/01-how-to-draw-an-army-man-head-and-body-outline.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw an army man head and body outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"565\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch the shape for the saluting arm. A salute is formed with the upper arm parallel to the ground and the fingers of the hand extended and meeting the eyebrow.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/02-how-to-draw-an-army-man-arm-saluting-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2278\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/02-how-to-draw-an-army-man-arm-saluting-outline.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw an army man arm saluting outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"565\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw the Face and Saluting Hand</h2>\r\nSketch the <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-faces-tips-techniques-and-short-tutorials/\">basic guidelines for the face</a>. Again, since the face is turned, your guideline going down the center of the face should reflect the direction the soldier is facing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/03-how-to-draw-an-army-man-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2277\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/03-how-to-draw-an-army-man-face-guidelines.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw an army man face guidelines\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSince the soldier\'s chin is slightly up, notice the upward curvature of the eye guideline as the head is tilted back. As you draw the eyes looking slightly up, don\'t forget the highlights, eyelashes, and eyebrows.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/04-how-to-draw-an-army-man-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2276\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/04-how-to-draw-an-army-man-eyes.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw an army man eyes\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, draw the nose. Use the reference photo and guidelines to sketch the nose at the same angle as the turned head.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/05-how-to-draw-an-army-man-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2275\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/05-how-to-draw-an-army-man-nose.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw an army man nose\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat this process as you draw the mouth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/06-how-to-draw-an-army-man-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2274\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/06-how-to-draw-an-army-man-mouth.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw an army man mouth\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFinish the face by drawing the ears, jawline, and neck. The collar of the jacket will be drawn just below the neck later.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/07-how-to-draw-an-army-man-ears-jawline-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2271\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/07-how-to-draw-an-army-man-ears-jawline-neck.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw an army man ears jawline neck\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAt this point, you can erase the guidelines that helped you draw the face. Then begin adding details to make the hand. Draw the fingers extended straight but put slight bends in the knuckle areas to make them appear more natural. Make a few visible lifelines on the palm underside and a few wrinkles along the side of the hand for a touch of realism.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/08-how-to-draw-an-army-man-saluting-hand.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2272\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/08-how-to-draw-an-army-man-saluting-hand.jpg\" alt=\"08 how to draw an army man saluting hand\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw the Uniform</h2>\r\nDraw the hat. Look at the reference photo to see how to properly shape the hat. Draw stitching along the seams to make it appear sewn together like real fabric.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/09-how-to-draw-an-army-man-hat.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2268\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/09-how-to-draw-an-army-man-hat.jpg\" alt=\"09 how to draw an army man hat\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, draw the collar along the bottom of the neck...\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/10-how-to-draw-an-army-man-collar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2266\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/10-how-to-draw-an-army-man-collar.jpg\" alt=\"10 how to draw an army man collar\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n...and draw the jacket. Continue to use the reference photo to stay true to the design of the uniform. This includes noticing where parts of the jacket are fastened and how the pockets are angled. Don\'t forget to make a few <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/picture-perfect-clothing-a-beginners-guide-to-sketching-clothes/\">well-placed folds</a> that are always found in clothing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/11-how-to-draw-an-army-man-jacket.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2273\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/11-how-to-draw-an-army-man-jacket.jpg\" alt=\"11 how to draw an army man jacket\" width=\"800\" height=\"572\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat this process as you draw the sleeve. Look specifically for folds, seams, and pockets and draw them as carefully as you can.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/12-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2270\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/12-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve.jpg\" alt=\"12 how to draw an army man sleeve\" width=\"800\" height=\"571\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>How to Make a Camouflage Pattern</h2>\r\nNow it is time to begin adding a camouflage pattern to the uniform. Here is a pattern I created on the hat. The current army combat uniform has a digital-looking pixel pattern and three basic colors: foliage green, urban gray, and desert sand. The goal for this drawing is not to replicate this complicated pattern perfectly. Instead, we can sketch some very basic shapes and use a combination of <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/take-the-stress-out-of-shading-with-these-pencil-shading-techniques/\">hatching and crosshatching</a> to make a simplified camouflage pattern that resembles the real thing. Here\'s how...\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/13-how-to-draw-an-army-man-hat-camo.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2269\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/13-how-to-draw-an-army-man-hat-camo.jpg\" alt=\"13 how to draw an army man hat camo\" width=\"800\" height=\"573\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLet\'s start by making camo for the sleeve. Make some basic abstract shapes for the foliage green. Try drawing many short, straight edges and corners as you form the shapes. This will help create a pixel appearance.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/14-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-foliage-green-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2263\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/14-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-foliage-green-outline.jpg\" alt=\"14 how to draw an army man sleeve camo foliage green outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nUse a crosshatch pattern to fill in these shapes. This crosshatch pattern can enhance the pixel appearance and represent the darkest of the colors: foliage green.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/15-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-foliage-green-crosshatch.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2262\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/15-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-foliage-green-crosshatch.jpg\" alt=\"15 how to draw an army man sleeve camo foliage green crosshatch\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat by drawing similar shapes to represent the urban gray, only use a hatch pattern rather than a crosshatch to fill the shapes. Don\'t worry about any shading pattern for the sand color.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/16-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-urban-gray-hatch.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2261\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/16-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-urban-gray-hatch.jpg\" alt=\"16 how to draw an army man sleeve camo urban gray hatch\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow move on to the rest of the uniform. Here we have more foliage green crosshatch patterns on the jacket torso.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/17-how-to-draw-an-army-man-jacket-camo-foliage-green-crosshatch.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2265\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/17-how-to-draw-an-army-man-jacket-camo-foliage-green-crosshatch.jpg\" alt=\"17 how to draw an army man jacket camo foliage green crosshatch\" width=\"800\" height=\"571\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAdd approximately an equal number of urban gray hatch patterns to complete the uniform and the drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/how-to-draw-an-army-man.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2264\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/how-to-draw-an-army-man.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw an army man\" width=\"800\" height=\"568\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Finishing Thoughts</h2>\r\nSo that is how to complete a drawing of an army man who is saluting. The process for drawing the camouflage pattern is not meant to be perfect, but it is at least easier than trying to spend hours or days replicating the real thing, and it has a close enough resemblance.\r\n\r\nRemember the value in having a reference photograph when you draw a person in a uniform such as this. If you want to honor the appearance of your subject as closely as possible, a reference photo can mean the difference between an accurate, recognizable soldier and a poor imitation.','How to Draw an Army Man Saluting','','publish','open','open','','how-to-draw-an-army-man-saluting','','','2015-11-26 23:48:44','2015-11-27 07:48:44','',0,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/?p=2258',0,'post','',1),(2259,2,'2015-09-13 08:40:33','2015-09-13 15:40:33','','How to Draw an Army Man Saluting','','inherit','open','open','','2258-revision-v1','','','2015-09-13 08:40:33','2015-09-13 15:40:33','',2258,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2258-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2260,2,'2015-09-13 08:55:13','2015-09-13 15:55:13','We will see how to draw an army man saluting.\r\n<h2>Draw the Basic Outline</h2>\r\nDraw the basic shapes for the head and torso.\r\n\r\nSketch the shape for the saluting arm.\r\n<h2>Draw the Face and Saluting Hand</h2>\r\nSketch the basic guidelines for the face.\r\n\r\nDraw the eyes.\r\n\r\nDraw the nose.\r\n\r\nDraw the mouth.\r\n\r\nDraw the ears, jawline, and neck.\r\n\r\nDraw the hand.\r\n<h2>Draw the Uniform</h2>\r\nDraw the hat.\r\n\r\nDraw the collar.\r\n\r\nDraw the jacket.\r\n\r\nDraw the sleeve.\r\n<h2>How to Make a Camouflage Pattern</h2>\r\nNow it is time to begin adding a camouflage pattern to the uniform.

Even though I myself am an army veteran, it has been roughly 15 years since I last wore a set of fatigues, also known at the time as BDU\'s (or Battle Dress Uniforms). I have since learned that there have been a lot of changes!

As you can tell from the photo, this is not a direct frontal view but rather a quarter-turn view. Account for this as you sketch the head shape by planning for the side of the face on one side and the back of the head on the other.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/01-how-to-draw-an-army-man-head-and-body-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2279\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/01-how-to-draw-an-army-man-head-and-body-outline.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw an army man head and body outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"565\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch the shape for the saluting arm.

Again, since the face is turned, your guideline going down the center of the face should reflect the direction the soldier is facing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/03-how-to-draw-an-army-man-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2277\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/03-how-to-draw-an-army-man-face-guidelines.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw an army man face guidelines\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSince the soldier\'s chin is slightly up, notice the upward curvature of the eye guideline as the head is tilted back. As you draw the eyes looking slightly up, don\'t forget the highlights, eyelashes, and eyebrows.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/04-how-to-draw-an-army-man-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2276\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/04-how-to-draw-an-army-man-eyes.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw an army man eyes\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, draw the nose. Use the reference photo and guidelines to sketch the nose at the same angle as the turned head.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/05-how-to-draw-an-army-man-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2275\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/05-how-to-draw-an-army-man-nose.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw an army man nose\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat this process as you draw the mouth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/06-how-to-draw-an-army-man-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2274\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/06-how-to-draw-an-army-man-mouth.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw an army man mouth\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFinish the face by drawing the ears, jawline, and neck.

Then begin adding details to make the hand. Draw the fingers extended straight but put slight bends in the knuckle areas to make them appear more natural. Make a few visible lifelines on the palm underside and a few wrinkles along the side of the hand for a touch of realism.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/08-how-to-draw-an-army-man-saluting-hand.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2272\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/08-how-to-draw-an-army-man-saluting-hand.jpg\" alt=\"08 how to draw an army man saluting hand\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw the Uniform</h2>\r\nDraw the hat.

Even though I myself am an army veteran, it has been roughly 15 years since I last wore a set of fatigues, also known at the time as BDU\'s (or Battle Dress Uniforms). I have since learned that there have been a lot of changes! As of 2004, they are called ACU\'s (or Army Combat Uniforms) and look very different from what I used to wear.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_2267\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"800\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/how-to-draw-an-army-man-saluting.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-2267 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/how-to-draw-an-army-man-saluting.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw an army man saluting\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a> <center><b> © <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/burlingham_info\">Elliot Burlingham</a> | <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw the Basic Outline</h2>\r\nDraw the basic shapes for the head and torso.

Here is a pattern I created on the hat. The current army combat uniform has a digital-looking pixel pattern and three basic colors: foliage green, urban gray, and desert sand. The goal for this drawing is not to replicate this complicated pattern perfectly. Instead, we can sketch some very basic shapes and use a combination of <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/take-the-stress-out-of-shading-with-these-pencil-shading-techniques/\">hatching and crosshatching</a> to make a simplified camouflage pattern that resembles the real thing. Here\'s how...\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/13-how-to-draw-an-army-man-hat-camo.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2269\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/13-how-to-draw-an-army-man-hat-camo.jpg\" alt=\"13 how to draw an army man hat camo\" width=\"800\" height=\"573\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLet\'s start by making camo for the sleeve. Make some basic abstract shapes for the foliage green. Try drawing many short, straight edges and corners as you form the shapes. This will help create a pixel appearance.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/14-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-foliage-green-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2263\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/14-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-foliage-green-outline.jpg\" alt=\"14 how to draw an army man sleeve camo foliage green outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nUse a crosshatch pattern to fill in these shapes. This crosshatch pattern can enhance the pixel appearance and represent the darkest of the colors: foliage green.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/15-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-foliage-green-crosshatch.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2262\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/15-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-foliage-green-crosshatch.jpg\" alt=\"15 how to draw an army man sleeve camo foliage green crosshatch\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat by drawing similar shapes to represent the urban gray, only use a hatch pattern rather than a crosshatch to fill the shapes. Don\'t worry about any shading pattern for the sand color.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/16-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-urban-gray-hatch.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2261\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/16-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-urban-gray-hatch.jpg\" alt=\"16 how to draw an army man sleeve camo urban gray hatch\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow move on to the rest of the uniform. Here we have more foliage green crosshatch patterns on the jacket torso.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/17-how-to-draw-an-army-man-jacket-camo-foliage-green-crosshatch.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2265\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/17-how-to-draw-an-army-man-jacket-camo-foliage-green-crosshatch.jpg\" alt=\"17 how to draw an army man jacket camo foliage green crosshatch\" width=\"800\" height=\"571\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAdd approximately an equal number of urban gray hatch patterns to complete the uniform and the drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/how-to-draw-an-army-man.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2264\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/how-to-draw-an-army-man.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw an army man\" width=\"800\" height=\"568\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFinishing Thoughts\r\n\r\nSo that is how to complete a drawing of an army man who is saluting. The process for drawing the camouflage pattern is not meant to be perfect, but it is at least easier than trying to spend hours or days replicating the real thing, and it has a close enough resemblance.\r\n\r\nRemember the value in having a reference photograph when you draw a person in a uniform such as this.

In this short tutorial, we will see how to draw an army man saluting.\r\n\r\nBelow is a reference photo that will come in handy. It definitely came in handy for me. Even though I myself am an army veteran, it has been roughly 15 years since I last wore a set of fatigues, also known at the time as BDU\'s (or Battle Dress Uniforms). I have since learned that there have been a lot of changes! As of 2004, they are called ACU\'s (or Army Combat Uniforms) and look very different from what I used to wear.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_2267\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"800\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/how-to-draw-an-army-man-saluting.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-2267 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/how-to-draw-an-army-man-saluting.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw an army man saluting\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a> <center><b> © <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/burlingham_info\">Elliot Burlingham</a> | <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw the Basic Outline</h2>\r\nDraw the basic shapes for the head and torso. As you can tell from the photo, this is not a direct frontal view but rather a quarter-turn view. Account for this as you sketch the head shape by planning for the side of the face on one side and the back of the head on the other.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/01-how-to-draw-an-army-man-head-and-body-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2279\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/01-how-to-draw-an-army-man-head-and-body-outline.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw an army man head and body outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"565\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSketch the shape for the saluting arm. A salute is formed with the upper arm parallel to the ground and the fingers of the hand extended and meeting the eyebrow.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/02-how-to-draw-an-army-man-arm-saluting-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2278\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/02-how-to-draw-an-army-man-arm-saluting-outline.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw an army man arm saluting outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"565\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw the Face and Saluting Hand</h2>\r\nSketch the <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-faces-tips-techniques-and-short-tutorials/\">basic guidelines for the face</a>. Again, since the face is turned, your guideline going down the center of the face should reflect the direction the soldier is facing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/03-how-to-draw-an-army-man-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2277\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/03-how-to-draw-an-army-man-face-guidelines.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw an army man face guidelines\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSince the soldier\'s chin is slightly up, notice the upward curvature of the eye guideline as the head is tilted back. As you draw the eyes looking slightly up, don\'t forget the highlights, eyelashes, and eyebrows.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/04-how-to-draw-an-army-man-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2276\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/04-how-to-draw-an-army-man-eyes.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw an army man eyes\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, draw the nose. Use the reference photo and guidelines to sketch the nose at the same angle as the turned head.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/05-how-to-draw-an-army-man-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2275\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/05-how-to-draw-an-army-man-nose.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw an army man nose\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat this process as you draw the mouth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/06-how-to-draw-an-army-man-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2274\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/06-how-to-draw-an-army-man-mouth.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw an army man mouth\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFinish the face by drawing the ears, jawline, and neck. The collar of the jacket will be drawn just below the neck later.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/07-how-to-draw-an-army-man-ears-jawline-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2271\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/07-how-to-draw-an-army-man-ears-jawline-neck.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw an army man ears jawline neck\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAt this point, you can erase the guidelines that helped you draw the face. Then begin adding details to make the hand. Draw the fingers extended straight but put slight bends in the knuckle areas to make them appear more natural. Make a few visible lifelines on the palm underside and a few wrinkles along the side of the hand for a touch of realism.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/08-how-to-draw-an-army-man-saluting-hand.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2272\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/08-how-to-draw-an-army-man-saluting-hand.jpg\" alt=\"08 how to draw an army man saluting hand\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw the Uniform</h2>\r\nDraw the hat. Look at the reference photo to see how to properly shape the hat. Draw stitching along the seams to make it appear sewn together like real fabric.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/09-how-to-draw-an-army-man-hat.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2268\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/09-how-to-draw-an-army-man-hat.jpg\" alt=\"09 how to draw an army man hat\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext, draw the collar along the bottom of the neck...\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/10-how-to-draw-an-army-man-collar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2266\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/10-how-to-draw-an-army-man-collar.jpg\" alt=\"10 how to draw an army man collar\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n...and draw the jacket. Continue to use the reference photo to stay true to the design of the uniform. This includes noticing where parts of the jacket are fastened and how the pockets are angled. Don\'t forget to make a few <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/picture-perfect-clothing-a-beginners-guide-to-sketching-clothes/\">well-placed folds</a> that are always found in clothing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/11-how-to-draw-an-army-man-jacket.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2273\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/11-how-to-draw-an-army-man-jacket.jpg\" alt=\"11 how to draw an army man jacket\" width=\"800\" height=\"572\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat this process as you draw the sleeve. Look specifically for folds, seams, and pockets and draw them as carefully as you can.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/12-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2270\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/12-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve.jpg\" alt=\"12 how to draw an army man sleeve\" width=\"800\" height=\"571\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>How to Make a Camouflage Pattern</h2>\r\nNow it is time to begin adding a camouflage pattern to the uniform. Here is a pattern I created on the hat. The current army combat uniform has a digital-looking pixel pattern and three basic colors: foliage green, urban gray, and desert sand. The goal for this drawing is not to replicate this complicated pattern perfectly. Instead, we can sketch some very basic shapes and use a combination of <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/take-the-stress-out-of-shading-with-these-pencil-shading-techniques/\">hatching and crosshatching</a> to make a simplified camouflage pattern that resembles the real thing. Here\'s how...\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/13-how-to-draw-an-army-man-hat-camo.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2269\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/13-how-to-draw-an-army-man-hat-camo.jpg\" alt=\"13 how to draw an army man hat camo\" width=\"800\" height=\"573\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLet\'s start by making camo for the sleeve. Make some basic abstract shapes for the foliage green. Try drawing many short, straight edges and corners as you form the shapes. This will help create a pixel appearance.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/14-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-foliage-green-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2263\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/14-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-foliage-green-outline.jpg\" alt=\"14 how to draw an army man sleeve camo foliage green outline\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nUse a crosshatch pattern to fill in these shapes. This crosshatch pattern can enhance the pixel appearance and represent the darkest of the colors: foliage green.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/15-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-foliage-green-crosshatch.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2262\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/15-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-foliage-green-crosshatch.jpg\" alt=\"15 how to draw an army man sleeve camo foliage green crosshatch\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRepeat by drawing similar shapes to represent the urban gray, only use a hatch pattern rather than a crosshatch to fill the shapes. Don\'t worry about any shading pattern for the sand color.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/16-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-urban-gray-hatch.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2261\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/16-how-to-draw-an-army-man-sleeve-camo-urban-gray-hatch.jpg\" alt=\"16 how to draw an army man sleeve camo urban gray hatch\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow move on to the rest of the uniform. Here we have more foliage green crosshatch patterns on the jacket torso.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/17-how-to-draw-an-army-man-jacket-camo-foliage-green-crosshatch.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2265\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/17-how-to-draw-an-army-man-jacket-camo-foliage-green-crosshatch.jpg\" alt=\"17 how to draw an army man jacket camo foliage green crosshatch\" width=\"800\" height=\"571\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAdd approximately an equal number of urban gray hatch patterns to complete the uniform and the drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/how-to-draw-an-army-man.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2264\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/how-to-draw-an-army-man.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw an army man\" width=\"800\" height=\"568\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Finishing Thoughts</h2>\r\nSo that is how to complete a drawing of an army man who is saluting. The process for drawing the camouflage pattern is not meant to be perfect, but it is at least easier than trying to spend hours or days replicating the real thing, and it has a close enough resemblance.\r\n\r\nRemember the value in having a reference photograph when you draw a person in a uniform such as this.

If the thought of drawing a child intimidates you, then you are likely even more hesitant to draw a subject that is a baby.\r\n\r\nIt is true that there are significant differences in facial and body proportions between adults and children. There are even more differences between adults and babies. However, those differences do not have to stop you from drawing a baby every now and then. In fact, you will soon see that drawing a baby can have more similarities to drawing an adult that differences.\r\n\r\nIn this tutorial, we will ease into the task of drawing a baby with a simple, less-intimidating subject. We will stay away from crying babies or playing babies with their arms and legs wobbling wildly in every direction.

As we go along, I will point out some key facial proportions to keep in mind when drawing babies, as well as how they compare to <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-faces-tips-techniques-and-short-tutorials/\">facial proportions of adults</a>.\r\n<h2>Drawing the Baby\'s Face</h2>\r\nStart by making some simple guidelines. Use the reference photograph above to very lightly sketch the outline of the baby\'s head, arm, and hands, as seen below. Try to get the angle of the head to closely match. You should also place some guidelines for the facial features.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/01-drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3145\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/01-drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping-guidelines.jpg\" alt=\"01 drawing of a baby sleeping guidelines\" width=\"600\" height=\"427\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNow here\'s where having a reference photograph comes in handy...when we talk baby proportions! You have likely noticed that the head of a baby is much more round than that of an adult\'s. Still, as you can see from carefully studying our reference photo, our baby\'s head is not a perfect circle. It is still an oval shape. It is just a more circular oval than you would make for an adult.\r\n\r\nMaybe you have also heard that a baby\'s eyes are lower down on the head than an adult\'s eyes. While usually true, this is barely noticeable in our example. The eyeline is placed just like an adult\'s - halfway between the top of the head and the chin.\r\n\r\nOne key difference to pay attention to is the much shorter nose of a baby. For this reason, you can\'t put the nose line halfway between the eyes and the chin. It needs to be closer to the eyes.\r\n\r\nSpeaking of the eyes, let\'s draw them next. The eyes are usually the most prominent feature of a baby, since they are so large and round. Since they are so prominent, you might also find them to be the most challenging part of drawing a baby. Luckily, since our baby is sleeping, drawing his eyes will be a piece of cake.\r\n\r\nLightly sketch the curved eyelids and subtle wrinkles around them. Draw a light line bridging the eyes together in the middle. The eyebrows should be barely visible. The same goes for the eyelashes. Make them as short as you possibly can. This task is made easier with a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/mechanical-pencil/\">mechanical pencil</a> for drawing those fine, thin lines. You can also use the mechanical pencil for the entire drawing, as I did.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/02-drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3144\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/02-drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping-eyes.jpg\" alt=\"02 drawing of a baby sleeping eyes\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRemember that a baby\'s nose is very short compared to an adult\'s. For this reason, don\'t leave much room for the bridge of the nose. Just focus on the tip and nostrils. I began by drawing a circle for the ball of the nose. The wings of the nostrils branch out from this circle but do not extend past the inner corners of the eyes.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/03-drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3143\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/03-drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping-nose.jpg\" alt=\"03 drawing of a baby sleeping nose\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext draw the mouth, partly open to reflect the baby breathing in his sleep. A baby\'s mouth is proportionately smaller than an adult\'s; therefore, the corners of the mouth may not necessarily line up with the center of each eye. They will actually be closer to the inner corners of the eyes. Lightly sketch vertical lines on the upper and lower lips. Since the baby is sleeping on his left cheek, you should see a bit of a crease where the upper lip meets that cheek.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/04-drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3139\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/04-drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping-mouth.jpg\" alt=\"04 drawing of a baby sleeping mouth\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow it is time to better define the outline of the face. Remember earlier when we said babies have a round head? Think \"round and circular\" as you trace over the contour of the baby\'s cheeks. Place the ear between the guidelines for the eyes and the mouth (not the nose).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/05-drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping-face.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3142\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/05-drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping-face.jpg\" alt=\"05 drawing of a baby sleeping face\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Finishing Up the Final Details</h2>\r\nOur baby subject does not have very much hair. Sketch a fuzzy outline along the top of the head where the hair is slightly fuller. Draw fine lines to show the thinner patches of hair that are closer to the face. Since this pretty much completes the baby\'s face, now would be a good time to also erase your guidelines.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/06-drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3140\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/06-drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping-hair.jpg\" alt=\"06 drawing of a baby sleeping hair\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMoving along, the next part of the drawing is the baby\'s sleeve. I suggest that you look at the reference photo and try to sketch the folds of the fabric as best as you can. If you need extra help drawing the clothing, you can read a previous post I wrote about <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/picture-perfect-clothing-a-beginners-guide-to-sketching-clothes/\">how to draw clothes</a> along with the various types of folds found in them.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/07-drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping-sleeve.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3141\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/07-drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping-sleeve.jpg\" alt=\"07 drawing of a baby sleeping sleeve\" width=\"600\" height=\"429\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe final step is to draw the hands and indicate the soft bedding on which the baby is resting. I opted to not make the ribbed, parallel line pattern of the bedding from the reference photo. However, I did pay close attention to the reference photo to try and keep the size of the hands properly proportioned to the face. I kept having the urge to draw them smaller, since the arms are so small compared to the head.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3138\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/drawing-of-a-baby-sleeping.jpg\" alt=\"drawing of a baby sleeping\" width=\"800\" height=\"573\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Baby Proportions to Remember</h2>\r\nTo sum up a few comparisons that were covered in this lesson between baby and adult proportions:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Babies have very round, almost circular heads. However, they are still oval-shaped. The oval shape of adult heads are much more obvious.</li>\r\n 	<li>When compared <em>proportionately</em> to the rest of the body, the head of a baby is larger than an adult\'s head.</li>\r\n 	<li>The eyes of a baby are <em>slightly</em> lower on the head than an adult\'s, but they are still pretty much centered between the top of the head and the chin.</li>\r\n 	<li>The nose of a baby is shorter than an adult\'s.</li>\r\n 	<li>The mouth is smaller and the corners do not necessarily line up with the centers of the eyes.</li>\r\n 	<li>The bottom of the ears may line up more with the mouth than the nose.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAs always, these are general guidelines that may not apply to every baby subject perfectly. Nevertheless, maybe being familiar with them will make you a little more confident the next time you draw a person who\'s favorite words are \"goo goo ga ga\".\r\n\r\nRemember, taking on those subjects that you normally want to run away from is a sure-fire way to grow as an artist.

There should be a minimum of 500 words. You should also provide plenty of images to illustrate the points of your post. Your images should be <strong>clear photographs you have personally taken</strong> or <strong>scanned images of your artwork</strong>. In other words, do not gather other images from the Internet and use them without permission for your article or your reference photograph. In the case of step-by-step drawing tutorials, you can scan images during each step of a drawing as you walk the reader through the process from beginning to end. All images should be big enough for readers to see clearly (at least 600 x 800 pixels) but no larger than 100 KB in size.\r\n\r\nSometimes a reference photograph will be provided for you, and sometimes you will have the option of using your own. If you do not own the rights for a good reference photograph or other image, please do not use it! Instead, you can select one from <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/#res3619261\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dreamstime.com.</a>\r\n\r\nThe author retains copyright, but I may reprint your piece, with full attribution, in Let\'s Draw People products, including marketing materials.\r\n<h2>Payment Details</h2>\r\nIf your article is accepted and scheduled for publication, then you will get paid for it! Contributors will be paid for each article based on the number of words, the number of images, and the quality of the drawings.\r\n\r\n<strong>Number of words</strong> - $0.05 per word, up to the maximum words for a given article\r\n\r\nThe number of words you write will be determined based on the \"word count\" within the WordPress post writing platform. The article\'s title is not counted. For each article, the number of words you use should stay within a certain range. For example, one article might be assigned a length of 500 to 800 words. You must write a minimum of 500 words. If your article goes a bit over 800 words that is fine, but you will be paid $0.05 per word up to 800 words (or $40).\r\n\r\nArticles accepted for publication may be edited for clarity, brevity, grammar, conventions, house style, etc. However, the word count of the first draft submitted for review will be used to determine payment. If you submit 800 words of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">solid, valuable content</span> but I edit it down to 732 words, you will still be paid for 800 words (or $40). <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Exception</span>: there are irrelevant additions of text that add no value to the content but are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">obvious</span> attempts to inflate the word count.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Number of images</strong> - $5 for 1 to 5 images; $10 for 6 to 15 images; $15 for 16 or more images\r\n\r\nIf you decide to use 10 images (for $10) to complement your article or tutorial, that does not mean you have to create 10 separate pieces of artwork. If you have original drawings from your previous body of work that you are willing to share with your article, that would be wonderful! Images can also be photographs that you have taken, or in the case of a tutorial, they can be separate scans of a single drawing. The point is...the more examples you have, the better. You are also encouraged to use photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop to add arrows, text, to crop a close up of a section of the drawing, etc.\r\n\r\nImages you submit with your articles may be edited or re-edited if they are accepted. I may also decide to add or remove images from your article before publishing. However, the number of images you upload with your first draft submitted for review will be used to determine payment. If you submit 6 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">relevant images</span> that effectively teach the main points of your topic but I only publish 5 images, you will still be paid for 6 images (or $10). <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Exception</span>: there are irrelevant additions of images that add no value to the content but are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">obvious</span> attempts to inflate the image count.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Quality of drawings</strong> - $5 for line drawings; $10 for line drawings with shading; $30 for realistic blending\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>$5 if all images are line drawings with little to no shading</li>\r\n 	<li>$10 if at least one image is a line drawing with ample shading (e.g., simple shading style like hatching, crosshatching, a layer or two of blended graphite, etc.)</li>\r\n 	<li>$30 if at least one image <em><strong>mostly consists</strong></em> of realistic blending (e.g., <em><strong>multiple applications</strong></em> of graphite smoothed over with a tortillion and/or blending stump)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe images below display examples of each drawing quality type:\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[table id=14 /]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Payment Scenario</h3>\r\nUsing the payment details above, consider the following scenario:\r\n\r\nYou create an 800-word drawing tutorial with 6 scanned images. Your images are step-by-step line drawings, but you explain how to add simple shading to the final two images.\r\n\r\nYour payment would be $40 for the words (800 words x $0.05) + $10 for 6 scanned images + $10 for shaded drawings = <strong>$60 total.</strong>\r\n<h2>How to Get Started</h2>\r\nIf you have the expertise and experience with drawing people and are willing to create a helpful, outstanding post for the Let\'s Draw People audience, fill out the form below.\r\n\r\nBe sure to include links to <strong>three articles or blog posts</strong> you have written and published online, if applicable. Articles based on the topic of <strong><em>how to draw people</em></strong> are preferred but not required. You can even link to your blog if it is in a niche having nothing to do with drawing. The purpose of this is to get a sense of your writing style.\r\n\r\nIf you have never published writing online, then it would be helpful if you submit a short writing sample (minimum 100 words) in a MS Word document or a PDF using the upload option in the form.\r\n\r\nI also want to review <strong>three samples of your artwork</strong>. These should be drawings or sketches of people. It is fine if these are found in the links you submit below. If your links contain no drawing samples, then you can use the upload option in the form.\r\n\r\nIf you are accepted as a contributor, you will receive an email to let you know, along with a link to the editorial calendar so you can select which articles you wish to write!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[nform id=\'2\']</p>','Draw and Write for Us','','private','closed','closed','','draw-and-write-for-ldp','','','2017-10-07 12:02:34','2017-10-07 19:02:34','',0,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/?page_id=2302',0,'page','',0),(2303,2,'2015-11-15 21:42:20','2015-11-16 05:42:20','Would you like to draw and write for LetsDrawPeople.com?\r\n\r\nWe accept <strong>bylined \"how-to\" tutorials</strong> and <strong>informative articles</strong> to be published on our website on an as-needed basis.\r\n\r\nabout drawing and sketching people','Draw and Write for Us','','inherit','closed','closed','','2302-revision-v1','','','2015-11-15 21:42:20','2015-11-16 05:42:20','',2302,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2302-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2304,2,'2015-11-16 21:22:19','2015-11-17 05:22:19','Would you like to draw and write for LetsDrawPeople.com?\r\n\r\nWe accept <strong>bylined \"how-to\" tutorials</strong> and <strong>informative articles</strong> to be published on our website on an as-needed basis.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nabout drawing and sketching people','Draw and Write for Us','','inherit','closed','closed','','2302-revision-v1','','','2015-11-16 21:22:19','2015-11-17 05:22:19','',2302,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2302-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2305,2,'2015-11-17 06:23:34','2015-11-17 14:23:34','Would you like to draw and write for LetsDrawPeople.com?

Of course the more frequently you can contribute, the better!

You can choose to work from a reference photograph if you wish. These tutorials are great examples:\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-an-army-man-saluting/\" target=\"_blank\">How to Draw an Army Man Saluting</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/this-childhood-shortcut-will-show-you-how-to-draw-teeth/\" target=\"_blank\">This Childhood Shortcut Will Show You How to Draw Teeth</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Informative Article</strong> - With this type of article, you will share your expertise about a topic with the reader.

There should be a minimum of 500 words. You should also provide plenty of images to illustrate the points of your post. Your images should be <strong>clear photographs you have personally taken</strong> or <strong>scanned images of your artwork</strong>. In other words, do not gather other images from the Internet and use them without permission for your article or your reference photograph. In the case of step-by-step drawing tutorials, you can scan images during each step of a drawing as you walk the reader through the process from beginning to end. All images should be big enough for readers to see clearly (at least 600 x 800 pixels) but no larger than 100 KB in size.\r\n\r\nSometimes a reference photograph will be provided for you, and sometimes you will have the option of using your own.
