Part 1:Creases

Part 2: How To Draw Footwear

Part 3: How to Draw Accessories ( Jewelry, Headwear, Bags )

With further ado, please enjoy the tutorial.^^

* Special Notes to Take into Consideration*

> Unlike the previous segments to the series, I will not be providing any imagery do to the fact that this will focus mostly on brainstorming.

> Please bare with the rest of the post’s writing style because it will be a literal representation of my thought process……. So it will be messy.

> THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG POST!

Getting To Know Your Character

1) I encourage you guys to please me in this process. As I am deg my character, I wish to see my fellow artists do the same. Choose a YOI character or an OC you have for YOI and design outfits with me. It would be interesting to see what you guys can come up with. ^^

2) Getting to know your character is pretty straight forward. It is practically a biography of the person. You want to find out the character’s personality, appearance, age, likes, dislikes, etc.

Character:

>Yuri Plisetsky ( Those who know me should already know that yurio is my favorite YOI Character. )

Appearance:

>Hair: Light blonde, chin-length, with a side swept fringe that covers his right side.

>Eyes:Turquoise/ Green-Blue

>Complexion: Fair/Pale

>Frame: Thin, 5’4 height

Age: 15

Birthday: March 1, Pisces

Personality:

> Good: Ambitious, determined, hard working ( undergoes rigorous training), radiates confidence, kind/ considerate to those he deeply cares for, does not like being underestimated and is his biggest critic, everything must be up to par

> Bad: short-tempered, foul-mouth, rude, arrogant at times, loudmouth, dismissive of others, makes too many rivals, can emit intimidating vibes

Understanding The Theme/Concept

1) I chose to do an anime crossover because those are my favorite. So for this portion I let you guys vote to see which AU we will be doing. And the winning results were…...........

MY HERO ACADEMIA!!!!!!

Since the drawing will be YOI x BNHA , we will need to research what kind of manga/anime BNHA is. This will help us design an outfit and occupation/hobby/abilities so the character you have chosen can fit in the AU.

BNHA SUMMARY:

> My Hero Academia/ Boku No Hero Academia takes place in a society in which people who are born with supernatural abilities, which are later classified as Quirks, have become the norm. With the rise of super humans, came the rise of criminal activity. Thus, a new profession was born, Heroes. People who get acknowledged for their Quirks, undergo special training in schools who prioritize in nurturing these new aspiring heros. The protagonist of the series, is a young boy named Midoriya Izuku who dreams to become one of the greatests superheros. This has become a difficult task due to the fact that young Midoriya was born Quirkless however this does not stop him from trying to achieve is dream. He undergoes the hardships of bullying and rejection as a child. Years later, getting ready to apply to his dream High School, UA, Midoriya saves his childhood friend and gets acknowledged by his role model, All Might. All Might takes Midoriya under his wing. Throughout the series, Midoriya makes many friends and together they face many challenges. With every challenge, watch as these soon to be heroes get closer to their dreams. ( I highly recommend you guys to watch the show. There are currently 3 seasons, part 2 of season 3 is being currently aired with new episodes coming out every Saturday. They have both eng dub and sub. )

QUIRK:

Quirk: A supernatural ability that is unique to each .

Quirks are categorized into 3 seperate sections.

> Emitters: Emitters have the ability to release or altar substances or materials. For example, pyrokinesis (fire), hydrokinesis (water), cryokinesis (ice), energy, etc. These types of Quirks take more effort be it physical or conscious to activate some even requiring large amounts of concentrations.

> Transformation: These Quirks cause its to transform into a temporary form of state. For example; gigantification, hardening, monsterization etc. Transformation Quirks activate through the s consciousness. Due to its form, these kinds of Quirks are best suited for close hand to hand combat. Some transformation Quirks are activated by an outside factor. For example, Rikido Sato needs to consume sugar to activate his quirk. It is also the least common of Quirks.

> Mutant: Mutant Quirks are a part of the ’s physical ability thus it can have a wide variety of abilities and features. For example; invisibility, engine, extra appendages, etc. These are permanent, most easy to identify and immune to Quirk disability types. Mutant quirks are the easiest to down.

DRAWBACKS:

As powerful as it seems to have a Quirk, there also draw backs.

>Emitters; The materials/ substances released by the s, if prolonged can result in said substances to damage the . This happens because the is using reserves from their own bodies. For example, Shoto Todoroki, if he prolongs the use of his ice ability, it will give him frostbite.

>Transformation: Since the Quirk is temporary, the limited time in use becomes the s weakness. So to better their performance, people with transformation Quirk work to increase their time by going beyond their limits. It can also be limit based. The Quirk sometimes requires activation from an outside force. For example, Tetsutetsu, requires the consumption of iron to increase the usage of his steel Quirk and prevent fatigueness.

> Mutant: Mutant Quirks cannot be turned off so it can become an inconvenience to its for even the simplests day to day activities. For example people who have extra appendages, such as a tail will have difficulty sitting.

Based on the information provided, let’s start by creating a Quirk that will fit Yurio’s personality.

* I had the help of my trusty writer: JOJO . Together we created Yurio’s Quirk.

>Based on Yurio’s personality we wanted to give him an emitter type Quirk. Yurio is ambitious, hardworking , confident, and has an overall strong personality. So we thought being an emitter would cater to his persona. Because he is so hot headed, quirks that came to mind were: Pyrokinesis (fire), Explosions, Lava, anything with heat, electricity, etc. We did not want to steal Katsuki’s, Shoto’s or Denki’s thunder by giving Yurio a Quirk similar to theirs so that was out of the picture. ( It saddened me because I was thinking of deg a hero outfit based off of his Free Skate: Piano concerto in B-minor: Allegro Apionato. We can’t make him into an unkillable god.

After some thinking, I asked Jojo if it was ok to give Yurio a Mutant and Emitter Quirk. We came to the conclusion that it was acceptable. So this time I wanted to create a Quirk that will correspond with an outfit inspired by his Short Program; In Regards to Love; Agape. We needed to give him a quirk that was both angelic (representing his softer side that he shows to people he cares for ) but strong to match his ion.

So with further ado, Yurio’s Quirk is……

Emitter: Wind; the ability to manipulate the wind currents to create powerful gusts of winds. [C]>Power Move: Tornado/Hurricane; The can create whirlpools of wind at great magnitudes.

>Drawbacks: Requires large amounts of concentration to control the wind directions. If concentration is lost, the can lose control and go overboard. Prolong use of this Quirk will give the migraines and fatigueness. If pushed to the limit, the can out. (Plus it would not end well for Yurio since he has wings. Imagine him flying in the sky and he es out do to the over use. Yurio is good as dead ^^;)

Mutant: Wings; the was born with white feathered wings. Due to this mutation, the body had to adjust to the change. The ’s bones have become less dense, allowing him/her to fly. Yurio currently has a wingspan of about 5 meters. The can also use his wings to create huge gusts of winds.

>Drawbacks: The must have all articles of clothing custom made and has difficulty getting into comfortable positions for activities such as laying, sitting, etc. Since the was born with bones that are less dense, he/she is sustainable to injuries ( gets injured easily) . So he/she must result to long distant fighting. The wings can get easily damaged if the fights hand to hand combat.

Due to Yurio’s temper, he tends to make rash decisions resulting in battling head on. Thus, getting injured more than necessary. Pretty much, piss off Yurio and he will try to punch you. ^^

> As Jojo said, “ He looks angelic, but he’s a mini hurricane in a tiny body.”

I hope you love our concept.^^ Now I wish to see what you guys come up with. There is an endless array of possibilities when it comes to these Quirks. Don’t be afraid to message me for any advice.

This concludes Part 4 to the Design Your Own Outfit series. I hope that with this segment, people will understand the massive thought process that goes through my head before I start any drawing. Thank you for reading.

See you for the next installment, (Part 5: Choosing Color Pallets and Clothing Styles to Create the Outfit) Yay! Now that the research is complete, we can go on to deg.
