Then I smooth out the bodies of the characters and roughly decide
on the styles of the clothing: a midsection-revealing top and triple layer
skirt for the girl in the middle and the previously designed jacket and
shirt combo for the guy. Let’s decide on the clothes for the lady
at the back as we go along.

At this stage, I tidy up the outlines of the characters and draw the details
of the clothing somewhat. The important part when smoothing out the body
lines is not how well you outline the characters but how well you express
the placement of masses in the foreground, middle ground and distant space,
enhancing depth of field. I try to convey the masses with a few repeated
strokes.

More details for the girl’s outfit. I focus on making the link
between the top and the skirt look as natural as possible.

Since the styling for the girl is mostly done, let’s move on to
the guy. The design for the guy’s outfit is rather plain to emphasize
its textures. And by designing a Kwe symbol on the shoulder
and refining it first, I point out what I want to accent.
