Getting the body proportions right while keeping that raised hand natural is the main challenge in this how to draw 15 steps drawing guide of Shirley Fenette, and the flowing hair adds another layer of curve work to manage throughout. Shirley is a familiar face in the Code Geass roster, and this guide walks through her full-body look with the cheerful pose that defines her character.
What This 15-Step Walkthrough Covers
The tutorial runs 15 steps from the initial sketch through to a fully colored result, so the final image includes her color palette rather than stopping at line art. The pose involves a raised hand gesture alongside a bag strap crossing the body, which creates some asymmetry to work through in the mid-section. Most of the line complexity lands in the hair and the layered clothing, so those sections are where the pacing slows down.

Color Coding in the Step Images
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new versus what is already done:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
