The lesson

Outline the figure

One light contour: the round parasol, long hair, sweeping gown.

Add the construction lines

Body centre line, shoulder and hip lines, small joint marks — thin and light.

Build the parasol and masses

Spokes from the hub, the wrapped bodice, light placement marks for the face.

Draw the real features

Calm face, hair strands, ribbon ends of the frame, fabric folds.

Commit the clean line

Erase the guides; keep every spoke, fold and trailing ribbon.

Colour the head first

Deep brown hair, warm skin, red lips — the gown stays line.

Fill the outfit flat

Wine parasol, plum gown — one even tone each, no shading.

Render the sketch finish

Sheer fabric depth, brush-stroke edges, the soft floor shadow.
