19 steps · Tricky · about 14 min

Draw a bride and groom in 19 steps, about 14 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.

Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: two heads.

Step 1: Two heads
Near the top, draw 2 eggs side by side with a gap between. Make each narrower at the chin.
Tip Keep the gap: they hold hands there.
Step 2: The groom's face
On the left head, draw 2 big round eyes with black dots, a U nose and a smile. Add eyebrows.
Step 3: The bride's face
Give the right head the same big round eyes with dots, a U nose, a smile and eyebrows.
Step 4: The hair
Start at the groom's left temple, draw bumpy hair and stop at the right. Give the bride smooth, round hair.
Step 5: A tiara
On the bride's hair, draw a thin curved tiara band with 3 points on top.
Step 6: The veil
Start on the bride's hair. Draw the veil down behind her, a wavy hem, and back up to the hair.
Tip The veil is one big soft shape behind everything.
Step 7: Two necks
Under each chin, draw 2 short neck lines, starting on the chin and stopping a little lower.
Step 8: The jacket
From the groom's neck, draw his jacket with round shoulders, 2 long bent sleeves and a flat bottom.
Step 9: Shirt and bow tie
Inside the collar, draw 2 lines down to a point. Add a bow tie with a knot under the neck.
Step 10: The dress
From her neck, draw the bride's long dress with puffy sleeves. Add 2 lines across the waist for a sash.
Step 11: The bride's arms
Start at each puffy sleeve, draw a bent arm and stop at the wrist. Reach the left one inwards.
Step 12: Holding hands
Start on each wrist and draw a mitten, stopping on the wrist. In the middle, the groom's goes in front.
Step 13: Trousers
Start at the bottom left corner of the jacket. Draw 2 long trouser legs and stop at the right corner.
Step 14: Shoes and ground
Under each trouser leg, draw a shoe with the toe pointing out. Draw a long ground line under everything.
Step 15: The groom's skin
Colour the groom's face, neck and hands peach, around the cheeks. Colour the cheeks pink. Leave the eyes white.
Step 16: The bride's skin
Colour the bride's face, neck, arms and hands peach, around the cheeks. Colour the cheeks pink. Leave the eyes white.
Step 17: Yellow tiara, pink sash
Colour the tiara yellow and the sash pink. Leave the dress, the veil and the shirt white.
Step 18: Grey trousers, red tie
Colour the trousers grey and the bow tie red.
Step 19: Brown hair, black suit
Colour the bride's hair brown, around the tiara. Colour the groom's hair, jacket and shoes black, around the tie.
