Female Clothing
This is a simple outfit that is easy to draw and suitable for a younger female
character in a modern story. The top is fitted close to the body, and the skirt is
short and flares out from the hips. Socks and flats are common fashion items for
girls in manga stories.Create a figure from
basic lines and ovals, and
add face and hair. Flesh
out the torso and arms,
and then create the
profile of the breasts.
Add a rounded neckline.Finish the outline of the
top at the waist and
cuffs; then add a short
skirt. Add flesh to the
legs, and give the figure
basic feet.Outline the socks and
Mary-Jane-style shoes.
Give the socks typical
ribbed cuffs.Ink the outline of the top,
skirt, and socks. Also ink
creases at the elbows,
under the breasts, and
on the skirt. Use black
ink to color the shoes.Add some flat color.
Here, red has been
used for the crop top,
and gray for the skirt.Finally, introduce some
shading using darker
tones of gray and red to
suggest the folds in the
fabric, and improve the
modeling on the figure.TOP AND SkIRT
