Shojo means “girl” in Japanese and refers to a style of manga aimed for teenage girls. Often the heroines of these stories are teenage girls themselves, like this one.
1. Start with the rough sketch of her body, possibly using blue lead. Draw these lines across her face to help you with positioning her facial features. Note that the waist will turn in more than a man’s waist would.

2. From here on, use the basic outline to guide you. Begin to fill out the face. Draw the line of her face and the first basic circles for her eyes with the pupils. Gently draw in the nose and mouth. You can use gray lead for these details and as you continue. Try not to draw too thickly at this phase.

6. Keep drawing the coat, adding in lines and buttons.

9. Draw her legs, socks, and the outlines of her shoes over the original blue sketch.

10. Draw the details on the shoes.
