PAGE 40:

1: Drawing the Lower Jaw
2: (right of 1) This is a drawing of an upturned face. Let’s take a look at how the head connects with the neck.
3: (below 1) Profile
4: (below 3) Realistic Style
5: (below 4) The style that defines the shape of the nose and mouth with undulations.
6: (below 2) Outline. The lower jaw is captured.
7: (right of 6) The lower jaw has a cavity in terms of skeletal structure.
8: (below 7) Point of Notice - Eye Placement
9: (below 8) Downwards
10: (right of 9) Upwards
11: (below 10) By using a line to guide eye placement, you can represent either upturned or downturned faces.
12: (left of 11) For a more anime look(no undulations), the placement of the eyes can determine the angle or incline of the head.
13: (below 5) 45° Angle
14: (below 13) Realistic Type
15: (bottom right of 14) Point of Notice
16: (below 15) Ear Placement
17: (below 16) The ears are directly located at the jaw’s connection point. By clearly drawing the connection point, you can bring about a stronger sense of dimensionality.
18: (right of 17) Anime Style
19: (right of 18) Where the jaw connects
20: (upper right of 19) Close to the final product
21: (right of 14) Outline

3: (right of 2) In the case of drawing the eyes with a more deformed look. This is fine, too.
4: (below 3) Rough Sketch
5: (below 4) Clavicle
6: (below 5) This is a difficult angle to accurately capture body shape from. Pay close attention to the distance between the ears and clavicle while drawing.
7: (left of 6) By adding shading under the jaw, more of the head’s dimensionality can be brought out.
8: (below 7) In Case of a Straight Upwards Angle
9: (right of 8) Captured from here.
10: (below 9) Upwards or Downwards
11: (below 10) Tip of nose
12 (below 11) Tip of jaw
13: (below 12) Back of head
14: (right of 13) Neck connection
15: (below 13) The more deformed version. This is fine too, depending on your preference.
16: (left of 15) Rough sketch. The parts of the head and neck connection that are covered up by the body are drawn too.
17: (left of 16) In the case of not adding any shading below the jaw.

PAGE 42:

1: Drawing the Arms and Hands
2: (right of 1) Let’s take a look at the structure of the shoulders, arms, and hands.
3: (below 1) Prominent Features of the Arms
4: (below 3) Arm Length
5: (bottom right of 4) Head Height
6: (below 5) The length of an arm is about twice the height of the head.
7: (right of 3) The arm shape will differ depending on the direction the palm is facing.
8: (below 7) Arm Shape Differences
9: (below 8) In the case of the palm being shown

14: (right of 13) When the wrist is turned inwards, the outer line is more straight instead.
15: (above 14) In the case of the palm not being shown
16: (below 6) Bone and Muscle Differences
17: (right of 16) The bones and muscles also twist when the wrist is turned inwards.
18: (below 16) Character Skeleton
19: (below 18) When the wrist is turned, the bone in the back switches sides as well.
20: (right of 17) Muscles
21: (below 20) deltoid
22: (below 21) Tip of the deltoid
23: (below 22) The outside muscles move inwards.
24: (right of 23) The tip of the deltoid moves inwards a bit.

PAGE 43:

1: How the Arm Connects
2: (right of 1) Let’s take a look at how the arm connects to the body depending on the pose. Pay close attention to how the representations of the armpits and shoulders change.
3: (below 2) We’ll be calling the line that connects the breasts to the armpits the “armpit line”
4: (below 1) How the Arm Connects 1 - In the Case of the Arm Raised to the Side
5: (below 4) Front Angle
6: (below 5) When the arms are down
7: (right of 6) Armpit line. It’s connected to the breasts.
8: (right of 7) When the arm rises up to the height of the shoulders
9: (right of 8) The armpit line rises.
10: (right of 9) The arm line stretches out from under the armpit line.
11: (below 6) When the upper body is slightly twisted
12: (below 11) Slightly twisted. It’s an unconscious movement. It looks more natural this way.
13: (right of 11) Armpit line
14: (right of 13) When the upper body is twisted a little, the back line becomes visible, giving the body depth.
15: (below 13) Back line
16: (right of 15) The arm line is curved.
17: (below 12) When the arm is stretched out and the palm is faced down
18: (below 17) The elbow marks a separation in the arms.
19: (below 18) The length and representation of the armpit line can differ depending on the artist. Regardless of the style though, the arm line should always extend from beyond the armpit line.
20: (right of 19) Under the armpit
21: (below 20) The armpit line extends into the inner side of the arm.
22: (below 21) The indent of the inner arm(under the armpit) shows up.
23: (left of 22) A smooth curved line with no interruptions.
24: (left of 23) When the palm is faced up

2: (below 1) Raising the Arms
3: (below 2) When the arms are down
4: (right of 3) Capture the connection between the clavicle and shoulders.
5: (below 4) Outline. Draw the depth of the body and the shoulder placement.
6: (right of 5) Center line(used as a guide).
7: (right of 6) The drawing process often involves drawing the parts of the body that get covered up by the arms.
8: (below 7) The indent is represented with a triangle shape.
9: (below 8) A supply line.
10: (below 9) Draw the lines around the arm connection.
11: (below 10) The armpit line is omitted.
12: (left of 11) The back line extends from between the body and arm’s connection.
13: (below 12) Similarities to when the arms are lowered
14: In the case of shading under the armpit. It gives more depth to the arm and body.
15: (below 14) The boundary line of the shading is curved, representing the roundness of the arm.
16: (right of 15) Let’s take a look at the changes in the placement of the arm connection and shoulder.

PAGE 45:

1: Let’s take a look at how to draw the area around the shoulder and below the armpit(arm connection)
2: (below 1) Armpit slightly open
3: (below 2) Armpit line
4: (below 3) Back line extends outwards.
5: (right of 3) The arm reaching out to the side and reaching upwards. The outline of the armpit changes.
6: (right of 5) Draw it with the idea of skin stretching and loosening.
7: (below 5) A pose involving showing off the armpit
8: (bottom left of 7) The arm connection from an upwards angle
9: (bottom right of 8) A curved line that represents the arm’s roundness(tubular shape).
10: (right of 9) The arm is pulled to the back. indents are formed around the neck area(refer to the diagram on the right)
11: (right of 10) Scapula
12: (below 10) Right here.
13: (right of 12) Clavicle

3: (right of 2) Head Width
4: (left of 3) Armpit Placement
5: (left of 4) Shoulder Width
6: Capture the shoulder width and armpit placement.
7: Throat
8: Shoulders
9: Armpits
10: (right of 3) Throat
11: Shoulders
12: Armpits
13: Armpit Placement
14: When drawing arms from the back, use the head(like the head size and jaw placement) to figure out where to connect the arm and where to put the armpits.
15: The proportions of the shoulder width, throat, shoulders, and armpits all differ depending on the artist. Draw them with the balance you prefer.
16: (below 2) There are 2 ways the armpits could look like when the arms are down
17: The type where the crease turns outwards
18: The type where it goes straight down
19: (right of 18) When raising the arm up to shoulder height, the silhouette of the shoulders changes.
20: (below 17) In the case of a single arm being raised
21: An indent is formed.
22: The angle of the scapula line changes.
23: The scapula’s angle shifts as the elbow goes up.
24: How the scapula line usually looks when the arm is laid down.
25: (below 19) Deltoid
26: Trapezius. It stretches widely across the back.

PAGE 48:

1: Both arms raised
2: Outline of the deltoid
3: If the head isn’t tilted down, the shoulders don’t stick to the head very much(sometimes you have to take liberties with this).
4: Even with both shoulders raised, there still should be some distance between the shoulders and head.
5: The shoulder area when the arms are naturally crossed together in the back
6: There are many different ways you could adjust the sizes of the scapulas and their placements. When fleshing out the drawing, some people prefer to make the scapulas stand out more.
7: Throat
8: Shoulders
9: Armpits
10: Use the throat and shoulders as a guide for the armpit placements.

PAGE 49:

1: Drawing the Elbows
2: (below 1) How Elbows Are Represented in Various Poses
3: (right of 2) The elbow joints are composed of bone and tendon. Pay close attention to the hardness of the bone especially when the arm is bent. Let’s take a look at some poses involving elbows.
4: (below 2) Dull Corner Type (almost round)
5: Represent the bone outline with curved lines and shadow.
6: (below 3) Mt Fuji Type
7: Corner Type
8: Both of these types use curved lines to represent the bone sticking out.
9: (below 8) Sharp Corner Type
10: The outline of part of the bone resembles a horn here.
11: (left of 10) Inner side of the elbow. Can be represented with a mountain-shaped shadow.

PAGE 50:

1: Elbow and Elbow Joint Representation
2: Elbow thrusted outwards
3: The round part of the bone jutting out is reflected in the outline.
4: Dull Corner Type (almost round)
5: Placing hands on waist
6: The thumb points downwards
7: (below 6) Dull Corner Type (almost round)
8: (upper right of 7) Thumb
9: (above 8) The thumb points upwards
10: Thumb
11: Corner Type
12: Add some light lines to represent the hardness.

PAGE 51:

1: Wrist and Elbow Representation
2: Hand in front of face
3: The palm faces inwards
4: Sharp Corner Type
5: Bone corner. Add some lines for the bone.
6: The palm faces outwards
7: Corner Type
8: There’s still a bone corner, but no shadow.
9: Hands down
10: This is where the indent is formed.
11: The palm faces inwards
12: Indent of inner side of elbow
13: The other side of the elbow can’t be seen.
14: The palm faces outwards
15: The indent in the elbow is shown with some creases.
16: Right here

PAGE 52:

1: Elbow from the back
2: Detail this section with the idea that the bone swells out here.
3: Dull Corner Type (almost round)
4: Mt Fuji Type
5: The elbow can be represented with short straight lines.
6: Mt Fuji Type
7: Capture the tips of the elbows jutting out.
8: Corner Type

PAGE 53:

1: Elbow when the arm is raised
2: Corner Type (It oddly becomes more like the Mt Fuji style when upraised)
3: The lines coming out from the elbow change depending on where the hand is facing, so even if you are drawing a pose where the hand is covered up by the face or anything like that, you should still draw the general idea of it to use it as a guide.
4: This bulging part faces out to the front.
5: Dull Corner Type (almost round)

PAGE 54:

1: Drawing Hands
2: (below 1) Measuring the Size
3: (right of 1) Let’s draw the hand using the size of the head as a guide.
4: (below 3) Fingers
5: (below 4) Palm
6: (below 5) The finger and palm regions should be rough the same length. Use this as the standard for finger length and width.
7: First joint
8: Second joint
9: Third joint
10: (bottom left of page) It’s recommended to figure out hand size and shape by drawing poses with hands touching various places. The size can grow smaller or larger depending on the place, so keep in mind the theme you want to go for while drawing them.
11: Length
12: Center
13: (below 11) The fingers are longer on the side opposite the palm.
14: (right of 13) Palm side
15: *Sometimes the first joint is called the third joint and vice versa.

PAGE 55:

1: Hand Poses
2: Both hands outstretched
3: (below 2) When the fingers are rigidly spread out, the creases at the finger connection are smaller and are more straight.
4: (right of 3) By drawing the finger connections with rounder lines, you can give them the feeling that they are spread out in a more relaxed way.
5: (right of 4) A pose where the hand expresses surprise
6: (right of 5) For a loose grip, the lines of the finger joints will somewhat extend from the finger lines.
7: (above 6) Use a small line extending from the center of the finger for the third joint.
8: Hands on hips
9: The hand should curve along the waist’s outline.
10: Arms crossed
11: The index finger’s curve will make it look more like it’s resting against the arm.
12: Since the fingers are just resting on the arm, there’s no need to make them perfectly match the arm’s curvature. Draw them with natural curves.

1: Drawing Legs
2: (below 1) The Important Features of the Leg Lines
3: (right of 1) The hardness of the bones in the knees and ankles, as well as the softness of the meat in the thighs and calves, are all important parts of representing the legs. Let’s learn how to draw legs while looking at various standing and sitting poses.
4: ( below 3) Let’s take a look at the leg lines from the front, side, and 45° angle.
5: (below 2) Front
6: Thighs

8: Knees
9: Calves
10: Shin
11: (right of 5) Side
12: Knee thickness
13: Where the calve bulges

16: Emphasize the line where the knee joint dips inwards. It makes it feel like there is strength put into it.
17: (left of 16) The knee joint juts out here.
18: (below 16) The lines coming down from the knees to the bottom of the calves will differ from each other as well.
19: Ankles
20: Bones to pay attention to: knees and ankles
21: Flesh to pay attention to: thighs and calves
22: Front
23: Side
24: 45° Angle

28: This entire region here is the calf.

PAGE 58:

1: Representing the Legs’ Bones and Texture
2: (right of 1) Let’s take a look at sitting poses, focusing on the thighs, calves, and knees.
3: (below 1) Legs Spread
4: Sitting with the knees spread wide apart
5: Knee
6: Calf
7: (below 2) Points of Notice
8: - How the legs are attached
9: - How the thighs, calves, and knees are represented
10: (below 9) In the case of drawing underwear, the top hem should be represented wrapping around the abdomen.
11: (below 10) This slight difference is enough to create quite a few differences in the appearances of the calf and knee representations.
12: (below 11) Round silhouette
13: (left of 12) Butt meat
14: (left of 13) The calf should get smooshed out due to the pressure being put down from the thigh.
15: (left of 14) Corner silhouette
16: (above 15) In this example, the right leg is spread outwards slightly more than the left leg.
17: (below 15) Drawing Process
