ABOUT THIS

BOOK

This chapter shows the process for creating a new character. Based on a theme, this section focusses on the rough sketch until rhe finish . I have tried to summerize it so it is easily understood. I have included a variation of heroes from different genres and

rried to recreate them as "hard" characters.

BODY This chapter explains the basic stages of how to create a character. It includes how to draw the smart body indespensable to "super"

haracters. I have simply and effectively compared different \'ariations of eyes and nose, and included paints regarding face and hair.

PEN&TECHNIQUE Although this chapter seems small, we have edited it to include the necessary fundamental techniques which can be obtained easily with minimum effort.

POSES This chapter as the name suggests, is a collection of poses. I thjnk what makes this book attractive is the unification of hnique and poses. This includes poses which are usually ·fficult to draw and about 200 commmonly drawn poses. As I :mt

an illustrator, when I compiled this collection of poses I kept

· mind "wouldn't it be great to h1;1ve a collection of poses like · ''.Where possible, the characters that appear in this collection

do not wear clothes. I have drawn them with a T-shirt or tank top so you can easily understand the body motion and form. You can

add clothing and complete your own characters.

Super Character's

r:tl A cool beautiful girl. This is the main theme.

KAREN

~

This cool girl is a professional killer. She is a killing machine who belongs to a certain secret organization. She is about 20 years old and has a cool expression. She is a modern day lady.

I wanted to give her a sharp look so I narrowed the width of her head and gave her a straight hairstyle.

She has long straight blond hair with a cool expression. It's decided!

flill f Wl: dress her in fashionable clothl:s ~ this character is complete.

~

Stylish props and sens~s suit her.

It is fun to dress her in various fashionable outfits for different scenes.

dress completes her look.

l i l She has beautiful blond hair. That is it!

HARD COP She is one of the stereotype "tough" heroines. She is a hard action female detective. Let's create a heroine who is a lone wolf. She loves justice and hates authority.

l'il Her clothes were already decided in my mind. ~ T,eat her trousers and a black coat.

I worried about what to put underneath, a high neck, lank lop. There is lots to choose I decided on a crew neck.

I

A lank top with an open front. It is the sexiest.

Although everyone has their own preference I decided on the T -shirt on the right.

A high neck is smart but not sexy.

~

Sunglasses are absolutely required.

SF HARD

l1l Pay attention to her age. She is 18 years old. ~ She has a charming but fearless image.

I made a heroine for a science fiction like Star Wars. She is about 18 years old. She is a hidden ability which enables her to save mankind. She wears a combat uniform.

It is somewhat common and there is no brightness.

Sexiness is emphasized by her eyes lifted up a little. I chose this one.

~ Completion

~

... ·..

The protector should not be too heavy.

I will make it a combat uniform which is as light as clothes.

Arm

I like the

sty lish design around here.

~

The boots have a transparent cover which looks stylish.

r:tl I want her to be gorgeous. I am thinking about

PAPILLON

~ giving her a mask. It will most likely become her distinctive feature .

A female version Lupin. Let's call her "Thief Papillon". A sexy and smart character is made.

Papillon means butterfly. Her mask will be like a butterfly.

I want to also make her hair style as gorgeous as this.

f"lil The problem is her costume. I want her ~ costume

to

be sexy but to have punch. Add metal
