how to draw a gothic girl
how to draw a gothic girl step 1

STEP 1.

In this first step you will be drawing out the begining guidelines for the goth girl. Start by drawing out the head with facial guidelines drawn in. Then draw out the shape of the body. After you do that draw out the guidelines including the shapes of the legs. After you do this you can move onto the next step.

STEP 2.

As you can see the female goth girl is already starting to take form. Now here you will sketch out her hair. At this point you can sketch in any hair style you wish. Next draw out the eye brows and eye lines. Now move down and shape out her left arm and hand along with the lining for the shirt which is kid belly high. On the right hand side draw out the shape of her breast. Now you can finish sketching in the detail to the Tripp pants she is wearing along with finishing off the bottom of her pants as well.

Here in this step all you will be doing is detailing her hair a bit more and detail her Tripp pants as well. Tripp pants are the pants that have chains and belts hanging from everywhere. That is the next thing you will be doing. You will also have to draw out the shape of her shoes as well. A Gothic girl looks like the girl we are drawing today.

...wow, came to see how wrong they got goth... I see this discussion has already been done to death. Still have to pitch in. Goth pretty much spawned in Britian in the late '70's early '80's. Have to say the American interpretation is... off, really... I mean, not all of it, not all the time, but as far as stereotypical depiction goes, wearing chains, collars and thinking you're "in touch" with some dark bollocks, is, as aformentioned... bollocks. See how many times you spot a collar on Carl McCoy or Andrew Eldritch... blank

u both r wrong on some levels and also right on others.. goth isent a state of dress or a personality.. its a state of mind.. its who u r not how u r .. not all goths are girly and not all blend in i myself am goth and im a happy person i just have really sick humer and alot of problems going on with my life at the moment..and not all emos were all black by the way (just throing that in there) thats more of the goth style
@Rokuro
uhm, i dont actually kno the definition for goth but i assumed it was basicly someone who isnt attempting to 'blend in'. on a scale from 1-10 how wrong am I?

Welcome to DragoArt again. This time we are going to draw a Gothic girl. What’s a Goth? Good question, when everyone sees a Goth for the first time they always wonder ‘wow so much black and chains.’ That’s because Gothic fashion consists of baggy black chained paints, black band tees, females usually wear long black dresses or corsets, large knee high leather boots, fishnet arm attachments, and large hair extensions. A typical female Goth hairstyle is long, black with bangs. And a male Goth hairstyle is a colored Mohawk, spiked long hair, long black hair, or long blonde hair. Everyone stereotypes a Goth as being obsessed with vampires or claiming that they are one. Also Goths are stereotyped at participating in Satanic or Pagan rituals. They say that a Goth would drink blood of a human and sacrifice themselves to Satan. It’s also said that Goths are depressed and evil beings. That they hate humanity and that they have similar feelings like that of an Emo child. This for a fact is not true. All Goths are not depressed and participate in satanic rituals. In fact Goths can be happy, nice, intelligent, and organized beings. They could be like a normal human and just adore black fetish. Everyone is their own person. The same goes for Emo people. What’s the difference between a Goth and Emo? It’s a short for emotional. That means that emo people are very emotional. Also there’s a difference between a Goth’s styles. The typical wardrobe of this depressing group are tight black pants or jeans, skin tight shirts, large tongued skater shoes or Converses, studded belts and bracelets, and an interesting hair style. A typical emo hairstyle consists of long pieces of hair covering half their faces. The hair can be spiked, bleached, dyed, or really short and spiked. How to know a Goth is a poser? What is a poser? A poser is someone who tries to be something they’re not. For instance, a poser Goth is someone who wears the clothes of a Goth but loves preppy activities. This means that they are not dedicated to the subculture and just wear the clothing to fit in. They also constantly claim that they are Goth and prevail doing their activities. Anyways I drew this girl freehandedly on my Wacom intuos3 tablet. I used the tablet with Photoshop CS. I got the grunge idea from my previous tutorial, how to draw a Gothic cross. Well I hope this tutorial will help you better on drawing Goths. Have fun!
