The Current Mess
________________
I am going to try to make a male version of this

ok I was able to cut my work a little short with the male considering I made an interesting pose before and I believe this will suit a mage.. but I will alter him slightly, now for the female ^-^ lets draw circles about where her joints are slightly angle the body upward repose the legs and slim the body around the waist so get that hip look in there. Then I drew lines to section it off just in case i wanted to fix something on it.
This I eliminated the main male base and kept mine of course and then made a new layer and painted under the green sketch lines on the pose I want.

Ok I finish the base by first tracing the green outline the way I wanted the female avatar to look ... I am purposely ignoring the fact that one of her arms look strongly longer cause that can always be fix later when editing (my way ^-^) then I deleted the green layer, then erased around the edges and ended up what you see above... even though rushed cause I was staying up too late to catch up on this progress.

^-^ now draw and outline of the clothing of the color your going to use or even go about 3sades darker to help enhance the detail lines a bit.

Then go back to your original color and for the tint I want go about 3 shades lighter and go ahead and color it in.

WOOOT It's time to play with the Air brush. I like to use this tool a lot when it comes to shading what I did was too the original color I was sticking with and probably used a #3 and only air brushed around the lines that stood out and then used a #9 with the blur tool to make it look like it more woven in the material.

Now this is a simple way I found out in detail shading your going to want to go about a little darker then your outline on the clothing and your going to color in the area's you want darken then blur a bit and then make a new layer and blur that layer even more then combine the two layers and you have the main shading.

Now for the outline and finer detail, I use a ink pen option and down it to a pixel .1 I then outline all the lines and make finer details on the the ruffles and shaded areas then copy the layer to darken them more with the dark color I chose.

____________I think I will do who I can first and then decide to make it a unisex attire.
