Following the Step Images
Each step uses colors to show what to draw:
- Grey lines show the underlying sketch from earlier steps
- Red lines indicate new elements being added
- Black lines represent completed portions
When drawing a couple holding hands, pay attention to where their arms meet in the middle. Sketch both figures lightly first, making sure their heights work together and the hand connection looks natural. Once everything is positioned correctly, go over the lines with pen and erase the pencil marks after the ink dries. The girl’s dress is yellow with a small heart, the boy wears green and blue, and both have brown hair with pink cheeks.
