Materials:  Pencil crayon on cartridge paper

Using a hard pencil, I drew a croquis fashion drawing.  I then added a dress to the woman in the drawing.  Using a purple pencil crayon, I shaded different areas of the dress to create lighter parts of the dress and shadows on other parts.  Using a black pencil crayon, I went on top of the darker areas and shadows of the purple and added more darker areas creating the appearance of depth throughout the dress. I also left some very white areas on the dress to create a highlight.  I decided not to put a face on the croquis drawing because I believe that a face would take away from the drawing and the dress.

I was inspired to create this dress as I find designing red carpet dresses very interesting.  It has always been a dream of mine to walk down a red carpet wearing an extremely nice gown.  I figured that this would most likely never happen, and therefore, I decided that I would design a dress that I would want to wear if I were to walk down a red carpet.  

I know that you should never give up on your dreams, so I will never stop dreaming and trying to live out my dreams.  I will continue to draw and paint, and hopefully, one day be famous enough to get the chance to walk down a red carpet.
