The cowgirl is one of my least favourite. I like the design of her costume and her red, irrepressible curls.^^ But I totally failed at her body and also I'm not content with her face.;__; At last, her blue checked blouse looks somewhat well.^^;;
To accentuate the roughness of the denim, I slightly painted over it with a white pastel chalk.

"50 MANGA BABES to draw and paint" is an English How-to-draw book displaying fifty artworks of different women in manga style together with step-by-step illustrations, detailed descriptions and drawing tips.

I had the wonderful commission to draw fifteen of this "babes" (see the right column). I had to comply with this criteria: drawn in manga style, female chara, view of the whole body, related to a topic/character type, no background.

This book is great and I can recommend it to all learning to draw in manga style. It's available at Amazon.
