The Lady: A Rendition of Pencil on Paper

in Sketchbook18 days ago

Hello Guys,
This is my first post on the #sketchbook community.
The drawing presented is of a lady in her mid 20s.
The steps to achieve this drawing are represented below❤️

The first step was creting the trunk of the lady, the head and the shoulders, I then added a few light smudges .

The 2nd was creating the outline of the ball gown.
The ball gown was very common those days, but nowadays only people of royalty wear it, this indicates that the "lady" is of royal bloodline.

The 3rd step was creating the outline of the dress.
This included creating 3 vertical parallel lines on both sides of the dress.


The next step was creating the borders of the dress which includes creating the perfect angle for the bottom of the dress

The final stage was the toughest,the shadow work, this involves use of the pencil to create dark areas on the work.

Thank you for viewing my work.
I'm still learning though, I hope to get better with more practice.
Have a lovely day❤️

FINISHED WORK IS THE FIRST PICTURE ❤️
