DRAWING MANGA BOYS


This is a typical street biker look, with traditional leather jacket and scruffy pants.
Note the lapel shape of the jacket, with studs and shoulder and wrist tabs. The
pockets are diagonal slits with dangling fasteners, and there is a waistband. The
character is also wearing fingerless leather gloves with vents on the back of the hand.

Draw a basic stick figure with lines
for bones, circles for joints, and
triangles for pelvis and feet. Add an
open neck jacket to slightly below
waist level.


Now add loose baggy
sleeves, and give the
character gloved
hands. Add the neck
detailing of the t-shirt.

Add double lapels with
a button trim detail.

Draw pants, fitting at
the waist, with some
creases around the
knees and baggy at the
bottom. Then draw
athletic shoes, and add
a belt at the waist.

Ink the t-shirt, jacket, pants,
gloves, and athletic shoes.
Ink detail on the lapels,
the chest, at the waist, and
around the cuffs. Color the
belt black; leave the buckle
white.
