2. Use overlapping curved lines to sketch the sleeves and torso of the blouse. Notice the "Y" shape of the lines beneath the sleeves.
Then, extend lines from the collar, culminating in a rounded square. From this, extend two sets of lines and allow them to meet at points. This is the scarf or tie.

3. Draw curved rectangular shapes at the bottoms of the sleeves and torso, forming the cuffs and hem. Then, extend two curved lines to begin outlining the skirt. Use curved lines to texture the material of the sleeves.

Outline the shape of the shoe using a "U" shaped line. Draw two lines between the arms of the "U" to form the shoe's strap.

8. Color your schoolgirl uniform. We've shaded ours in classic nautical or sailor shades of red, white, and blue. This color scheme was popularized by anime like Sailor Moon.
What to draw next?
Remember how you created a character after drawing the complete woman's outfit? Draw a complete anime schoolgirl by adding a head and face to this sketch, such as a teen face or the adult face (see Anime Girl Head drawing or Adult Female Anime Face drawing).
Or, try drawing her in a different pose, like this cute anime character.
