Introduction
Art School Year 1that is to say, the first book!we hit upon som ething that we felt was underre presented, not only in the world of art guides, but manga and com ic art in general. Clothing. We fou nd it difficult to find manga or comic books with colorful, unique, cre ative, realistic clothing. Clothes that change every day, because most characters have more than one outfit. Clothes that get ripped or dirty in realistic ways. Clothes that say something about a character s personality. For Year 2, weve created a manga -style how-to-draw book centered entirely around clothes . In the following pages you wil l find information on casual clot hing, clothing for going out, wor k clothes, school clothes and eve n how to design your own school uniform. From prom to weddin gs, and sports to seasonal, we hav e covered the basics for manga in a modern-day setting. Youll find tips on every step of the proces s 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 clot hing in manga/comic mediums will continue in Year 3. When creating Shojo Fashion Ma nga

Outline the clothing. Note that the big coat makes him look a lot thicker than he is. 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. When 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.
