DRAWING MANGA GIRLS
Here’s a simple but feminine summery dress, which has a bold, striped pattern and
wide, flowing skirt. This look suggests a happy, pleasant personality and an air of
innocence, and would look appropriate for a country walk or a picnic in the park.Start with a basic
figure of lines and
ovals, and add a
face and hair. Add
a heart-shaped,
fitted bodice with
two broad shoul-
der straps.Next, following the line of
the hem, start to outline a
series of horizontal stripes
on the dress.
From the waistline,
add a full skirt with
a mid-calf hemline.
With the basic lines
of the dress in place,
flesh out the figure’s
arms and legs and
outline the shape of
the shoes.Ink the main lines of the
dress, and add a sugges-
tion of shading between
and under the breasts, at
the waistline, around the
legs, and at the hem.SUMMER DRESS
