Question

What are some design ideas?

Community Answer

A black dress that slowly turns into a white one at the bottom with feathers from a peacock or a tigerprint. You could also try roses or a paisley pattern.

Question

Can the dress be longer than the height of the girl?

Community Answer

No, unless she's wearing high heels and the dress goes to the floor. Otherwise she wouldn't be able to walk without tripping. Some dresses do have a train, though, that's longer only at the back.

Question

How do I draw the texture of the dress?

Community Answer

Add lines, shadows and various creases on the dress in areas such as the hips and shoulders. If you are coloring the dress, make sure it is not a uniform shade throughout. Add darker shades for shadows.

Question

How do I add texture to the dresses?

Community Answer

You can do so by adding shadows and wimples to the dress. Add pleats or make a subtle pattern. Very thin lines can make a dress look like corduroy.

Question

Where do I put lines if I want the dress a little wrinkled?

Community Answer

Add them immediately below the waistline or belt. They should vary in length. Add shadows to show a folding effect.

Question

How do I draw a sleeveless dress?

Community Answer

If you're doing spaghetti straps, draw thin lines going over the shoulders. If you're doing thicker straps, make the lines wider over the shoulders. Don't make them too thick, though, because then it won't look sleeveless.
