Then I draw some more details for the girl’s sword. Since
it's one of the most important props, I design and draw it, along with
the girl’s arm, very carefully.
)
It’s time to work on the girl’s hair and accessories. They’ll
cover most of the top I drew earlier, but that doesn’t mean I could’ve
skimped on the details. The girl’s chest is important since it affects
the flow of the hair and the main point is to accurately depict this flow.
)
One of the important points in sketching is “direction”.
Of course, the flow of the main characters and theme is very essential,
but what I’m saying here is that it’s always best to draw
from left to right, top to bottom (if you’re right handed like
me). It’s common sense, but it's also something you simply forget
when you’re engrossed in drawing. And then you suffer from the
pencil smears...
So for that reason, I draw the lady on the left before drawing the girl’s
skirt. By fitting her with a peculiar costume, I can give this neglected
third character some emphasis.
)
Then I illustrate moving from the girl’s skirt to the guy’s
pants. When you’re illustrating from character to character, it’s
very important to not break the flow between them. You can finish one
character and move on to the next if you want, but it’s easier
for me to balance the flow of the characters by working on all the characters
little by little.
