How to Draw a Bride
Draw a bride in 13 easy steps, about 10 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: the head.
Step 1: The head
Near the top of your paper draw an egg for the head, a little narrower at the chin.
Tip Leave most of the page below for the long dress.
Step 2: The face
Draw 2 round eyes with black dots and a tiny eyelash each. Add a U nose, a smile, and eyebrows.
Step 3: Hair and tiara
Draw the hair hugging the head, a finger above the head line, with a fringe. Add a 3-point crown.
Step 4: The veil
Behind her draw a long veil from the hair down past the waist, with a soft round bottom.
Tip The veil hangs behind the head and shoulders.
Step 5: Neck and long dress
From the chin draw 2 neck lines down to a sleeved dress with a long skirt. Add 2 sash lines.
Step 6: Bent arms
From each sleeve draw an arm bent at the elbow, getting thinner as it reaches in to the wrist.
Step 7: Fists
On each wrist draw a round fist. The fists nearly touch in the middle.
Step 8: The bouquet
Draw 3 round flowers above the fists with tiny middles. Add a stem into each fist and 2 leaves.
Step 9: Ground
Along the bottom of the dress draw a long ground line that sticks out past both sides.
Step 10: White dress and veil
Leave the dress and veil white. Colour the tiara and the flower middles yellow.
Step 11: Peach skin, pink cheeks
Colour pink cheeks, then the face, neck, arms and hands peach around them. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Pink sash, red flowers
Colour the sash pink, and the flowers red around their yellow middles.
Step 13: Brown hair, green leaves
Colour the hair brown around the tiara and the leaves green. Go over your lines and your bride is done.
