In this lesson, I taught the process of designing and sketching a bridal gown with a nude blush undertone and a white embroidered tulle overlay. The gown features a transparent design with an open back halter top, a deep V-neckline, and a flowy, layered tulle skirt with a big A-line silhouette.

I started by using a body template and sketched the dress design on marker paper. I colored the skin tones first, layering markers to achieve the desired shades and shadows, considering the sheer nature of the dress. Then, I colored the dress skirt with a nude blush tone, adding depth around the waist and bottom layers. I detailed the lace embroidery, face, hair, and makeup, layering colors and tones to create a realistic look.
