Today, you'll learn about basic body structure of a manga female. It is quite easy to do if you know the layout of a person in real life and if you practice. You should know that this is the way I do my style manga, and If you like it, awesome. If you don't, make your own style, It's really fun! But for the body structure, It's mostly the same. So let's get started! First, you need to sketch out the head lightly so It's easy to erase If you make a mistake.
    It is a oval-like shape that is slightly pointy near the end that serves as the chin. The female has a less prominent chin and a smooth, not very sharp angled head that is wider than a males. My style includes no top of the  head unless the character has horns, cat ears, etc. because the top of the head will be covered with hair anyways. Next, you draw two, graceful curves that serve as the neck and don't make it too thick or the character will look like a male. In addition, make shoulders which is just plain lines on each side of the neck and curve down. An important tip is that the shoulders should be broader than the head always and not too broad to make it look male. Also, draw 2 sticks for arms, even them out to look realistic, and put the arms behind the back.

    Then draw the chest and bank down into another curve which serves as the stomach and bring them back slightly to create the hips and thighs so the person doesn't look like a deformed twig! The legs can be together and all you have to draw is a line in between to make them  into 2, or you can make them apart which is nearly the same process. Lastly, draw feet as a curve or rectangle like shape as a guideline connect and bring it down into feet. Erase sketchy or guidelines to create a clean finish, and you're done creating the basic body structure! This is just a preference/guide to get an idea of what the body is supposed to look like. Also, don't be afraid to change a few things. Keep the structure in mind but of course you can tweak the arms, legs,etc.  because art is limitless!
