How to draw a girl in a dress with a pencil step by step Now we need to shape the face. To do this, use a circle and draw the line of the chin. It's best to use the right side line (to your right, not the girl's). You need to start from the circle, smoothly moving down and indent for the jaw. We also draw cross-shaped guide lines. Use these lines to draw the eyes, nose, smile. The eyes should be placed on a vertical line. How to draw a smile, and how to draw a nose with a pencil, we know from past lessons. Create circles for the irises of the eye. From the bottom of the front of the head, draw the corners of your smile, connect them with lines. Make a small "mound" in the mouth, which will later become the tongue. Below the bottom line, draw a small curve to show the lower lip. Now let's move on to how to draw hair with a pencil. Draw a line of hair around the oval of the head. In its upper part, draw a bang and the shape of her hair near it. There should be a slight curve above the tip of the bangs and stick out to show the other side of the bangs, which is out of sight. Now you can delete the head line that is covered by the hair and guide lines. They are no longer needed. You don't have to draw the neck line, because we will hide it. We complement the hairstyle with falling curls of hair, you can add a brooch or a hairpin, or any other elements (bunny ears, for example). Let's move on to the main question, how to draw a dress with a pencil. Let's start drawing the dress from the circles that we made in order to depict the shoulders. After finishing them, we draw the puffs of the sleeves, because cute anime girls always wear just such dresses. The line of the dress should start above the ends of the sleeves. When we get to the waist, watch the lesson about the ballerina, she has a beautiful waist! Before moving on we need to finish the entire upper body. Draw in the lower part of the hair that hides behind the sleeves. Draw two cuffs - small curved rectangles at the bottom of the sleeve. Depending on the location of the head and hair, draw the visible line of the neck. Also, do not forget about the neckline. You should not draw it big, children do not wear them. To simplify our task, we will draw hands hidden behind the back. This will give the girl's drawing an innocence and she will look like an angel only without wings. Before we start the bottom part of the dress there are a few things you need to know about how the pleats are drawn. They must not disconnect, the line must be continuous. Before we finish with the bottom part of the clothes, we need to place the legs and feet. follow the guide line you drew. If you're having trouble, try thinking about dolls, how their legs are made. Now you can draw the back of the dress accordingly. This gives your dress depth and shows that it's not just a flat design, but something more voluminous. You can finish the drawing by adding rounded shapes close to a rectangle to show the line of the shoes, eyebrows and even adding a swirl on the head.

First, again, we need a base, without it, nowhere. We draw an oval, approximately in the middle we need to add two circles and lines above them.
On top of this oval, we draw the hairstyle of our drawn girl in a dress, but so that the hair does not go beyond the boundaries of the small circles.
We remove extra lines. We finish drawing the eyes, a little lower - the nose, and between the chin and the nose the girl's mouth is drawn.

To know how to draw a girl with a pencil, it is not necessary to study art and be an artist. Any beginner can try his hand. It is enough to stock up on perseverance and gradually master some skills. It is important to remember the aspects described below.
What materials are needed
Before starting the lesson, novice creators should stock up on materials such as:
You should not save on basic drawing materials, even if we are talking about a novice amateur. Poor quality materials can discourage interest in drawing and complicate the first steps in art. For beginners, the best choice would be products of the middle price category.
The proportions of the female body
The proportions of the female body differ from the male in some ways. In addition, at different times, different proportions were taken as the standard of beauty in the visual arts. 
In our time, the following parameters of the female body are relevant for drawing:
- To measure height, you need to calculate the height of a woman's head and multiply this parameter by 7-8.5 times. It is useful to know that a person's height is divided exactly in half at the point of the pubic articulation.
- To calculate the width of the shoulders, an average of 1.5 head heights is required.
- The width of the pelvic bone is directly proportional to the width of her shoulder, and the height of the pelvis in a woman is slightly lower than the height of her head.
- The waist is on average equal to 1 head height.
- To calculate the height between the base of the chest and the hip joint, you should divide the height of the head in half.
Axes and proportions of the face
Not everyone knows the tricks on how to draw a girl with a pencil. It is easy to explain this process step by step for beginners.
It is enough to know about the following proportions of facial features and about the universal axes on which you can rely in the process of building a face:
Face Drawing Scheme
Scheme:
How to draw a girl in profile
When wondering how to draw a girl with a pencil in stages for beginners, the answer must be sought in the same measurements and center lines as when drawing in full face. You should start drawing by drawing auxiliary lines in the form of a square. Its height should be 1/8 more than its width. All the main axes must be transferred to it, as if a full face was inscribed in it. 
Then, one should inscribe an inclined egg-shaped oval in a rectangle between the axis on which the tip of the nose is located and the top of the entire square. This oval helps build the correct shape of the skull, the back of the head and the forehead.
That part of the side of the skull that connects to the neck should be tilted down.
- From the top extreme point of the oval, you should start drawing the line of the forehead, eyebrows, nose, mouth and chin. In this case, it is necessary to focus on the auxiliary lines drawn. The most protruding point of the forehead, closer to the eyebrows, is in contact with the edge of the square.
- The eyes are located on their axis. On the face in profile, the eyes take the form of an arrowhead. The round iris becomes a thin, elongated oval with a pointed top and bottom.
- The tip of the nose will protrude slightly beyond the square. The depression of the bridge of the nose falls on the same axis on which the eyes are located.
- Lips on a face turned in profile will look protruding, especially the lower lip. The line where the lips meet goes slightly down from the lips. Even if a person smiles, the line goes straight at first, and then smoothly rounds up.
- The ears are C-shaped when viewed in profile. An arc runs along the edge of the ear - a thin cartilage. In addition, you should remember about the earlobe. When drawing a female face, the ears are often covered with hair.
How to draw a girl in full growth
When drawing a girl in stages with a pencil, it is extremely important for beginners to observe the proportions of the body, which were mentioned earlier. Only observance of proportions will help to avoid the image of an awkward, unrealistic body. 
To portray a girl in full growth, it is recommended to consider the following aspects:
- Image central axis. This axis coincides with the spine of the girl. At the initial level of drawing, it is recommended to draw a figure standing straight and level, in full face. Therefore, the central axis will also be straight.
- Torso. Schematically, it is recommended to depict it in the form of an inverted triangle. It should not be made too large or wide, as the female figure, on average, has more graceful shoulders and chest.
- Breast. To determine the correct location of the chest, another smaller one is entered into the triangle of the torso, pointing upwards. At its corners, you need to draw two identical circles, which are the chest.
- Hips. For the image of the hips, it is convenient to draw a circle, a small part of which goes to the lower corner of the triangle depicting the torso.
Using the received landmarks, you need to connect them with smooth, rounded lines. The figure should acquire the contours of the female body. Next, you need to draw the arms and legs. The length of the arms is just below the inguinal region.
Important points when drawing hair
Scroll:
- When drawing hair, it is important to pay attention to how the light falls on them. As a rule, the roots of the hair are in the shade, and at some distance from them, a highlight is noticeable on the hair. It should be left unpainted, or just add a few strokes around the edges. Next, it is important to pay attention to how the hair lies in the strands. In the drawing, you should combine small strands into larger ones and depict a glare on them the way light falls. Also, it is necessary to highlight the darker, shady areas so that the drawing does not look flat.
- Hair lies on the head magnificently, covering part of the forehead and cheeks, ears. Depending on the structure of the hair (curly, straight), they can be more voluminous or vice versa, smooth. It is important to notice the direction in which the hair grows. to reflect them most realistically.
- There are a lot of hair on a person’s head, but you should not depict them all. It is only necessary to show their general texture. Pencils of various hardness are used for shading hair. For shady areas, take the softest pencil and stroke with pressure. Hard pencils are needed to mark the hairs in the lighter parts and highlights. It is important that the strokes are confident and long. To do this, it is recommended to rest the hand with a pencil on the elbow, and not on the wrist, and draw from the elbow.

However, drawing a girl from the back has its own nuances:

- The spine runs vertically in the center of the back, which should be reflected as a few strokes.
- At the level where the arms are attached to the body, shoulder blades are visible on the back. They should not be made too explicit. But if the figure shows a slender girl, it is advisable to mark the shoulder blades with light strokes.

In addition, the style of the dress should fit the drawn girl and sit well on her.
When drawing a dress, it is important to consider the material from which it is intended to be made. Soft and delicate material will flow or fit the figure, dense will not deform along the lines of the girl's body. In addition, the direction and distribution of light should be considered in order to reflect soft lighting onto the fabric. So the picture will turn out more voluminous and naturalistic.

Hatching is an important element of drawing a girl with a pencil, and for beginners, first of all, it requires a step-by-step training. You need to learn how to apply strokes, changing the saturation from dark to light as softly as possible. The softer and smoother the transition, the better hatching is mastered.
