When you draw a cartoon pinup girl, you can imagine that she lives during World War II or create stories for the modern age. Her outfit is inspired by fashions that were popular during the historical era.
While this guide recommends certain colors for her hair, shoes and dress, you can use any colors that you want for your cartoon drawing.
Some of the shapes overlap, so start with a pencil sketch so you can erase the lines later. Afterward, outline the drawing and use your favorite markers, pens, crayons or colored pencils to fill it in.
