To draw casual clothing, start by drawing the outline of a simplified character with a circle on its head for a cap. Then, join the left and right edges of the circle with a straight line, and extend the line into a slanted box for the cap’s sun shade. Next, draw a straight line across the character’s waist, along with a triangle in the collar region for a v-neck shirt and curved strokes near the elbows for the folded sleeves. After that, make straight lines down from the waist line, then join them at the bottom to make pant legs to complete the outfit.
