How to Draw a Maiden's Arms

Video Transcript

"In this clip, we are going to be drawing the arms on our fair maiden and we are going to give her some big poofy sleeves. Remember to kind of leave room for where the other part of her dress will be. But get in there now and just draw some really kind of big poofy sleeves on her, upper part of her arms. So just come over like so and kind of get in there and I sort of just kind of make like little clouds coming off the side of her dress here. That's the detail to it and what we'll do is for this arm we are going to actually come down. And it will eventually be sort of almost resting on her what will be the upper part of her dress. So for now I'm just going to come down and kind of draw her forearm all the way over to her wrist like that and then kind of come in here and we'll draw what will be her hands. Now again try and be as careful as you can when drawing a woman's hands. Because they are supposed to be very you know, very delicate, they are not supposed to be really thick or manly at all. And in fact one way to kind of keep them that way is to kind of add a little pinkie out like that. And then just try to as carefully as you can kind of go over the edges just like that. So you have got the whole hand drawn and the other hand we are going to actually put kind of coming behind what will be her dress. So we won't have to worry about that one as much. So what we will do is we will just kind of come in here like this and we'll draw the upper part of her hand but eventually the dress that she is wearing will come down and kind of cover up this area so if we have got her arms looking pretty good I would say feel free to move on to the next clip."
