Schematic of the dress, using only the layers with beading, coloring and shading.
The same schematic with the beading layer turned off. This shows how the silhouette echoes the 1920's 'flapper dress'.
A detail shot of the blue side of the dress in the early stages of the 'beading'. The entire blue side was first covered completely is 'beads' and then select ones were edited out. This was done to keep a universally even spacing.
This is a detail view of the finished effect of approximately the same area shown above.
Detail of the face and shoulders showing all three beading surfaces. Each area was handled differently but all with attention to showcasing the detail of the handwork.
The finished sketch. Thank you very much for your time and attention.
