When creating Shojo Fashion Manga Art School Year 1that is to say, the fi rst book!we hit upon something that we felt was underrep-resented, not only in the world of art guides, but manga and comic art in general. Clothing. We found it diffi cult to fi nd manga or comic books with colorful, unique, creative, realistic clothing. Clothes that change every day, because most characters have more than one outfi t. Clothes that get ripped or dirty in realistic ways. Clothes that say something about a characters personality.

For Year 2, weve created a manga-style how-to-draw book centered entirely around clothes. In the following pages you will fi nd information on casual clothing, clothing for going out, work clothes, school clothes and even how to design your own school uniform. From prom to weddings, and sports to seasonal, we have covered the basics for manga in a modern-day setting. Youll fi nd tips on every step of the process and hundreds of pieces of art to use for your own reference.

While this book is by no means exhaustivehow could it be? It would take thousand of pages!we have done our best to create something worthy of a spot on your shelf. And with any luck, this expedition into the world of clothing in manga/comic mediums will continue in Year 3.

Introduction


CLOTHING ON DIFFERENT BODY TYPESBodies dont come in only one shape. People develop muscle differently and put on weight in different areas. Here are the basic outlines of chubby, skinny and muscular male body types. Consider what sort of body type you are dressing, as it will affect the way the fabric lies.

MATCHING CLOTHES AND PERSONALITYHow you dress your characters accentuates their personalities. Putting the same woman in different out ts gives you a vastly different assumption of who she really is.

Know Your Characters

There is a tendency in manga to create every char

-

acter young, fi t and beautiful, so try to represent a

wider spectrum of characters to appeal more to y

our

audience. Consider how much your characters ex

er-

cise and eat, and how genetics affect their appea

r-

ance. How do they dress to represent themselves

to

the world? Dont be afraid to include characters o

f

different ages and shapes in your manga.

Tykes and Tots

Childrens clothing tends to resemble miniature ve

r-

sions of older looks, with an emphasis on durabili

ty and

bright colors. For children too small to dress thems

elves,

onesies and dresses are a popular way to navigate

the

hurdles created by diapers and unwilling toddlers.

1 When you want to make clothes look dirt smudged, pick a few spots and start drawing groups of lines.

2 Crosshatch the lines going in sev-eral directions. The crosshatching should be very messy. The more lines there are, the more dirty it will look. Leave fewer lines for lighter patches of dirt.

DRAWING DIRT ON CLOTHES


3 | PromFor most people, calls to

get really gussied up

are rare occasions, but they make great events

for manganot only as momentous events, but

as a chance to show off how your characters

would look if they really put some effort into

it! The next two chapters focus on prom and

weddings, two major dress-up events that

most people are likely to attend. Formal

clothes fall at the opposite end of

the spectrum of casual dress.


Scenes From the NightAfter the dancing and revelry has worn everyone down, that much excitement has an equal amount of down-time to balance it out. As the night comes to a close, dances slow down, the king and queen are crowned, and girls are grateful for the chance to take off those heels.

straight on worms-eye view

Two-Point PerspectiveYou can force perspective to create a worms-eye view that will turn an interesting pose into a dynamic and memorable one. To force perspective in this example, draw the lower parts of her body larger than they should be, so they appear closer in the foreground. Birds-eye view is when the action is viewed from above instead of below.

Sunglasses

Sunglasses are the quintessential summer access

ory.

They can be brightly colored, wild, weird, fun, sexy

,

simple or any combination thereof.

1Sketch the padded surface of the jacket over the arm. The outline will come up away from the arm. The stretchy, cuff fabric should hug the skin.

2 Draw the stitching lines of the cuff and sleeve.3 Clean up the outline. Pinch the seams and add a few wrinkles around them.

4 The darker lines in the seams convey the depth of the padded, stuffed fabric. Add a few wrinkles in the middle of each fabric segment but keep the focus on the seams. Long, straight lights with a few straight creases will do for the cuff.

DRAW A PADDED SLEEVE

Padded Fabric

Puffy outerwear is a popular way to keep warm, a

nd

its cheaper to purchase than thick woolen coats

or fur-

lined leather. These coats come in any color, but p

eople

tend to buy them in neutrals because they wear t

hem

almost every day in the winter months.

1Sketch the body. Keep the form tight to ward off the cold.2Outline the clothing. Note that the big coat makes him look a lot thicker than he is.

3 Clean up the outline. Create wrinkles that pinch around the seams of the padded coat. Add some dark lines to convey depth, but not too thick or the coat will look at.

4When colored, the inked seam lines disappear though their shape is still conveyed. The shading is at and two-toned, because this fabric isnt prone to shine.
