Drawing Manga Boys

(Nancy Kaufman) #1
Create a basic stick fig-
ure with lines for bones,
circles for joints, and
triangles for pelvis and
feet. Add a fitted top
down to the waist. Then,
flesh out both arms, and
add hands.

Add a neck trim and
front fastening detail.
Then add some
detail on the bodice
and around the arms
and legs, then add
elbow patches. Then
draw in the soles and
add toecap details to
the shoes.


Next add tight-fitting
pants, and refine the
shape of the feet.

Ink the main lines of
the costume, then use
black to color the trim
and detailing. Finally
use gray to get some
shading and modeling
into the costume, and
to suggest that it has a
shiny surface texture.

ThERMAL jUMPSUIT


Here is a futuristic-looking jumpsuit made of thermal all-weather material. The
black bands indicate strapping and may be used for support or for attachments.
The elbows are reinforced with heavyweight padding, and the soles are flat and
functional. An outfit like this could be worn by itself or underneath a bulkier outfit
such as a spacesuit or battlesuit.
