Fun Fashions and Costumes

Outfits define the look of a character, who they are and what they do. Fashion and costumes add snap. The look can be adorable, dynamic, contemporary or of a different time (fantasy). A good pose starts off every good fashionable outfit. If the clothes have a joyful look, and the character is joyful, it doubles the cheerfulness of the character. You’ll get a wide variety of outfits and characters in this chapter, which can improve your skills and which are just plain fun to draw.

Genies can be good, bad, or mischievous. And you won’t know which until you make a wish. For example, the lamp’s owner might wish for a limousine to take him and his date to the prom. But what he gets is a limousine that was spit out of a car crusher. Oooh, not such a nice genie. Now you’re down to two wishes.

Draw one finger on the side of her face, with a mischievous smile.

Bumpy smoke emanates from the lamp and is transformed into the genie.

Draw jewelry and designs along the lapels of the vest.

The smoke should make a few turns as it gets smaller and closer to the lamp.

Swirling hair (You can also make up your own hairstyle, for example, a superlong ponytail.)

Draw a loose vest in front of and in back of her torso.

The indication of legs is for placement only.

Genies are like magical friends who love to pull pranks on their owners. If you come across a lamp on the beach, better keep walking!

Kids love playing with him because once he’s finished watering the garden, he becomes soda bunny!
