So basically here I’ve made a basic outline of their bodies. This step is super important for three reasons:•It will be easier to add clothes once you know what their bodies look like. Clothes should be drawn to fit the body/ not for the body to fit them. •It helps you position the character how they will be standing.•You can always change these lines whenever you need (in fact you probably will) however they provide a nice outline for how the characters will look.

•(Don’t be afraid to draw boobs on the girls. Wendy is a child and so she has a relatively flat chest.)

How that I know my characters are positioned, I can add more to them including limbs.

Now, because of how they are standing, their upper arms are mostly hidden from view.

Next to start on the basic outline of the visible arms. Here’s a basic outline for the forearms.

Basically, I’ve done the best couple of steps only with the arms hidden in the back.

(So many steps with arms, I know, but this pose calls for it. Lol)

Drink to your success thus far, or drown your sorrows like I do because I can’t draw. xD

And also to celebrate getting done with the arms. (They are seriously the hardest things!)

So here I’ve drawn up some outlines of their clothes. Outlines are great for understanding where things are going to be placed, blah blah blah.

STEP

I erased part of the guidelines where their hair will go.

Next I draw the outlines of their eyes and erase the guidelines some more.

Wendy has much large eyes than Peter so her outlines are way bigger.

STEP

Here I’ve just made the outlines a little more eye-like.

(Don’t worry about the details to the clothes, I’ll focus on those soon enough)

Basically, you can give them faces now.

It’s it exciting!? They don’t look like aliens anymore! (:

Here I’ve added the diamond shaped marks on their faces.

So I gave Wendy and Peter some sleeves several steps back while doing some basic outlines however I figured I’d wait to show this until I was ready to focus on clothing.

I’ve giving them both some details on their sleeves. (:
