2: The bodies of females are covered with soft flesh, so it’s important to focus on emphasizing their curves when drawing them. But the softness can only be truly brought out when put in contrast with the hard bony elements from places like the clavicle and joints, creating a sense of presence and charm in their characters.

3: The elements necessary to bring out the texture of a woman’s flesh:
9
1 - Creating the outline of their body. Essentially the up and down undulations of the flesh.
10
...Mainly provided through the use of curved lines.
11
2 - Detailing areas such as the clavicle and joints.
12
...Mainly provided through the use of straight lines.

Here’s what it’d look like without the representation of the clavicle, elbow joints, or knee joints. The outline is one of a “girl’s body,” but it overall leaves an impression of something made out of plastic or vinyl, straying far from the soft texture of skin.

The Purpose of this Book
137
138
Girl characters usually do not have realistic proportions. Whether it comes to the face, hairstyle, body shop, or limb lengths, the character’s features are usually presented in a somewhat deformed or shortened manner. 
139
Starting with the skeletal structure of a character as the foundation, this book aims to explain important points to keep in mind when drawing a character while using a special “character skeleton” I designed specifically for this purpose.
140
141
Chapter 1 will go over the skeleton that serves as the framework for a character’s body, as well as the muscle that covers it.
142-
Chapter 2 will go over the bones most often represented in a character(clavicle and limb joints) while Chapter 3 will go over what kind of shapes the breasts and butt should take on. 
142+
Chapter 2 will go over the bones most often represented in a character(clavicle and limb joints), while Chapter 3 will go over what kind of shapes the breasts and butt should take on. 
143-
Chapter 4 will go over mid-action poses and differentiating characters apart, as well as explaining how to keep in mind bone and muscle structure when drawing a character, while Chapter 5 will be going over what could be considered the most individualistic element of drawing a character, the face.

Chapter 4 will go over mid-action poses and differentiating between characters, as well as explaining how to keep in mind bone and muscle structure when drawing a character, while Chapter 5 will go over what could be considered the most individualistic element of drawing a character: the face.
144
145
When drawing a character, you typically won’t be drawing something that would be considered a finished product right away.
146-
You’ll proceed with an image in mind, but you’ll only reach that image through trial and error as you decide where to align all the pieces up together. To be honest, the work of a character designer often involves a lot of fumbling around.

You’ll proceed with an image in mind, but you’ll only reach that image through trial and error as you decide where to align all the pieces. To be honest, the work of a character designer often involves a lot of fumbling around.
147-
By studying bone and muscle structure and overall body part placement balance, you’ll be able to reduce the amount of fumbling you do and ultimately get closer to creating something of high quality. While it’s true that blindly drawing whatever you want wherever you want can lead to discovering fresh and creative designs, it can also result in manifesting doubt or confusion towards the identity of your own work. By drawing your lines without doubt, even if they may have started out temporarily as a mistake, you’ll be able to grant confidence to your work.

*The designs of the character-based skeletons introduced in this book are based on scientific skeletal diagrams, but they are ultimately designed in a way to help other designers understand certain bone structures and dimensionality when drawing characters. They differ from real-life skeletons, and are by no means meant to serve as a representation of them.

7: (below 6) Reference
187
Here is an example of drawing the outline based on a skeleton. The head, central line, shoulders, and limbs are drawn using rods. You’d flesh it out in the same way, but since it can end up looking pretty plain, it’s not recommended for beginners. This method is recommended to those experienced with drawing while using things like photos as reference.

Tendons -
347
Tendons are fiber-like bands that connect bone to muscle. Sometimes they’re belt-shaped, sometimes they’re tubular. The tendons in your palm and the achilles tendon are the most famous ones.
348
Alongside bones and muscles, there are some tendons that can end up visible on the surface.

17: (below 16) Where Should I Decide Where the Crotch Should Be?
540
18: (below 17) Use a picture you like of a character standing up as reference. Draw a circle about the size of their head and figure out how many heads it takes to reach the crotch or legs.
