Ideas and tips for colouring in the groom’s wedding picture
Start by thinking about the purity and elegance that this moment represents. The bride’s gown could be pure white or soft ivory. Use white, grey, and very light blue pencils to add depth and volume to the dress, highlighting the folds and the flow of the veil. If you prefer a more artistic approach, you could add a touch of fantasy with a pastel-colored dress, like light pink or sky blue, adding sparkly details with glitter pencils for a magical effect.
The groom’s suit could be a classic black, navy blue, or dark grey, with details like the tie or pocket square in a color that complements the scene. Play with shadows in the folds of the suit to give it more realism and volume. An interesting touch could be using metallic tones for the accessories, adding a subtle shine to enhance the formality of the outfit.
The background could remain simple, or you could add subtle details like soft pink, lavender, or white flowers, suggesting a romantic and peaceful setting. If you decide to add more elements to the background, imagine an altar or a floral arch, along with soft lights surrounding the couple, creating a charming atmosphere of celebration.
This drawing evokes the most anticipated and significant moment of a wedding: the commitment and promise of eternal love. The two characters look happy, connected through a glance and a simple gesture that says it all. They might be about to say their vows, or perhaps it’s the first moment they see each other after walking down the aisle. It’s a reminder of how a wedding not only celebrates love but also the union of two souls starting a new life together.
An interesting fact about weddings is that traditions and colors have changed over time. In the past, wedding dresses could be any color, but it was Queen Victoria in the 19th century who popularized the white dress as a symbol of purity. This drawing is a tribute to that tradition and to the excitement that accompanies every wedding.
