DRAWING MANGA GIRLS
The school uniform is a very common form of dress in many manga stories. The
outfit can vary from story to story, but is usually based on a simple sailor-style
outfit like the one shown here. The collar is a broad V-shape, with a large bow tied
underneath. The top itself is white, and is worn with a short pleated skirt.
Draw a basic figure
from lines and
ovals and give your
schoolgirl a face
and hair. Start with
a V-necked sailor
collar with a large
bow in the front.
Now add a typical school-
girl above-the-knee skirt
with large pleats.
Complete the
outline of the sailor
top by working it
into the waist, and
give it slightly puffed
sleeves leading to
tight-fitting cuffs.
Flesh out the legs,
outlining knee-high
socks and shoes.
