How to Draw a Bride in Six Steps

A step-by-step guide shows how to draw a smiling bride in a long wedding gown, laid out in six small drawings. The first step is just an oval face with simple eyes, a nose, a smile and a small neck. Next come the hair and a boxy upper body. Then the arms with round hands and a wide, flared skirt are added. The later steps bring in a headband, a long veil falling past the shoulders, a sweetheart neckline, a tiara with little beads and drop earrings. The last picture is colored in with brown hair, soft peach skin, pink lips and a cream dress. Kids can follow one step at a time, then color their own bride, maybe trying a different hair color or a pale blue veil. It works well for a quiet art lesson at home or in class.
