The clothing of the girls in the "Anime" comics is a very important part of their appearance. This article will give you some useful ideas. Let's begin!
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Designing the Clothes
Step 1. What is underneath?
Step 2. First, learn how to draw the female figure
Step 3. Clothes are affected by body size and shape
Step 4. Learn techniques for drawing folds in fabrics and clothes
When clothes or fabrics wrap around a person's body, they always show signs that they are covering an "object" with many different shapes, moving and interconnected. These indicator marks are the folds of the fabric
Step 5. Learn what there is to know about the various types of materials
The fabric, in fact, influences the appearance of a dress. Some are soft and thin, others thicker and stiffer.
Step 6. Others are definitely unique in shape and texture
Remember that the fabrics must be consistent with the era in which the comic is set and the purpose for which the clothes are created (for example, historical, modern, futuristic or fantasy clothing).
Step 7. Study how the fabric behaves with body movements
Part 2 of 2: Styles
Step 1. Choose clothing suitable for the character
Evaluate what you are capable of drawing and how you would like your "anime" girl to be. The most used styles are:
-
Gracious, which also includes the cleaning lady's uniform. Make sure you add cute details, such as bows and ribbons, and use delicate colors (in anime kawaii jargon). See the image.

Sailor Uniform: Most anime fans know it well. The neck scarf, the miniskirt etc… Once you know how to draw the basic features, you can customize the colors, add details and so on. It doesn't have to be stereotypical, right?

Informal: Choose everyday clothing and don't worry much about style. Jeans, a t-shirt and a sweatshirt will do just fine.

Japanese Style: The kimonos, which are basically a kind of dressing gown, are very beautiful. This is a style full of grace and should give an elegant look to the character. Add delicate accessories in your hair, such as flowers.

School Uniform: It is usually a shirt with a jacket / pullover and a skirt. However, if you prefer, you can draw pants. Remember to add details such as a tie or other types of accessories that make it clear that this is a school uniform.

Step 2. Accessories
You can add bows in your hair (of all lengths and shapes), bracelets, rings, necklaces, gloves, socks etc… “Anime” girls often wear a watch or some kind of talisman. Cat ears are also a very popular touch. If you choose a Japanese style, you can also draw a fan.
Step 3. Experiment with different hair colors
They don't have to be a natural color, "anime" girls often have blue, purple, green and even white hair. There are also different hairstyle styles, so you can style them as crazy as you like. The hair should be outlined "en masse" and not drawn one by one. Don't worry, it doesn't mean being rough.
Advice
- Trace the shadows and draw creases to make the clothes more realistic. You can shade your hair too.
- Make sure your head, torso and legs are in proportion.
- Make sure your hair strands are spiky and not round. This makes them more realistic.
- Normal sized breasts are best suited to dress design, so don't overdo it!
