Small Manga Outfit designs!

I don`t use photoshop a lot since it simply frustrates the living hell out of me, an this is going to be a side thing for me and my boyfriend, David, to do together from now on!

David absolutely loves manga and anime, the same as me really, but he can draw some amazing characters in his free time... but he usually ends up screwing them up or getting annoyed and leaving them un-finished.
So, as a little side project for us both; he`s going to be creating characters for a story we where planning on writing together on Wattpad, and since he struggles with clothes and designing simple outfits for the characters i will be doing that from now on. So you guys are probably going to see a lot of random characters appearing on here in the future, but the ones i`ve done on photoshop aren`t the series ones and are mainly just practice for me (for now anyways).

So David draws the head and a faint outline of the body and what position it should be in; then i just go over the top and do some small but simple designs for those characters kind of clothing. Most of them aren`t very good, it`s actually my first time at designing any sort of clothing for any sort of character; so if anything i`m quite nervous to see what people think of the designs that i`ve done and i really want some kind of feedback on all of them just to help me a little bit more.

We haven`t worked on many of them at the minute though, we`ve been busy leading up to the summer holidays and we`ve both been away; so it only means that he can send me a completed character that he`s finished and then send it me for photoshopping. But because i can`t see them in person i`ve gone wrong horribly on one of them (Hope he doesn`t hate me for that)!
I am finding it hard to do so far, but i`m hoping that when i have done a few more and i`ve got the hang of designing simple outfits, i should be able to move on to more detailed and bigger designs for the bigger characters that David gives me to do.

On the left hand side are the ones i`ve done so far, outfit wise. David also has the character BIO`s for them and what kind of clothing i can work on next for them. Hopefully we can use more characters like these in our story "limbo", that we really need to start working on soon since we`ve held it off for a long, long time now!

So from the top down we have; Nikki, she`s supposed to look after two other girls when we place her in Limbo. Then there is just a random character, i was thinking about having him as a trouble maker kind of character kind of like a person others use to just go and o what they want him to do... Obviously he gets paid but mostly lives on the streets. Then we have Ann-Marie, she`s one of the girls who Nikki looks after in Limbo. Then we have Wrath who is actually one of the many key characters to the story so i`m not going to say much about it... shushy :3


Around this bottom area (Because they`ll probably be moved when i upload this), are the characters above but they`ve been done on photoshop instead! Like i said, these ones aren`t the serious ones though (as i said in the beginning).
