Artists keen for pointers on how to draw that most indispensable of anime clothing articles, pantsu, might wish to examine artist Cauliflower’s Pixiv seminar on how best to draw them; naturally the guide might well be of interest to those who wish to learn about the finer points of pantsu creation (or indeed anyone who justs needs an excuse to scrutinise pantsu in fine detail).
A translation has been made available, as are all eight pages of the guide below…
A word of warning: Between obscure Photoshop terminology and obscure Photoshop terminology in Japanese there is always the possibility of misunderstanding. Anyone with relevant knowledge is welcome to offer revised translations.
That said, the translation is available on the Channel.
Cauliflower, the pantsu expert to whom we can thank for these fine images, has both a Pixiv account, and also a blog, if you might be interested in seeing more of his work.
Just to give a general idea of the guide’s content, here is a translation of the above page’s main text:
Guidelines to Always Follow when Drawing Pantsu
1. The area of the elastic band over the waist and hips. Depending on the material of the pantsu and the length of the strap, the creases here vary.
2. Unless it’s extremely tight, you can put creases in this part. I usually put a lot.
3. The area where the rear cloth material joins the crotch. I feel that having these lines helps to make it feel more “pantsu” like.
The appearance of the fabric in the back varies with the type of pantsu. “Full-back”, etc…
In the event that anyone wishes to use the “soft” translation on the Channel as the basis for a fully typeset English version, please feel free.
Besides the above guide, there is some more art from the fine artist available on the Channel.

Just don't draw it at all. Loli FTW.
Draw a circle.
The end
Nice tips.
Mmmm....this doesn't really seem like it needs any permanent hard translations. But lemme know if you want it done. It wouldn't take very long to do.
I....feel like I'm watching Chu-Bra...artist edition.
Hey Quen, I tried to comment directly on the Channel but it wouldn't let me.
Responding to the TL notes on the second-last image:
Dodge is a tool used to lighten an area, and Burn is the opposite, which darkens an area. He could be using either one here (and in practice, probably both). Go with whichever word fits the Japanese better; they're both kosher in Photoshop.
The "Color Half Tone" filter is called "Halftone Pattern" in the English version. I don't know how he gets perfectly round polka dots out of it, but I couldn't find any other filter that even comes close to that wording or effect, so I'm quite sure "Halftone Pattern" is the one he means.
Multiplication is a layer blending mode; which essentially alters the appearance of a layer's pixels based on the layers below it through an algorithm you choose. So regarding your question mark, "setting" would be the correct verb here.
Hope that helps. Everything else (including on the other pages) looks right to me.
Thank you very much Anonymous, I was most confused by that.
I locked the Channel post's Notes to keep it safe before making this post, but I'll get some of your most appreciated suggestions in there as soon as I can.
Glad to be of service, Mr. Quen!
Your translation skills never cease to amaze me.
I shall allow the professionals continue drawing pantsu (or a lack thereof :D ) and be content. Fap fap fap.
Holy!... i did it... ah... after you do it without the body feels really awkward... -.-
get a girl to show you, guides don't work you need real life reference. If you can't, stop been a anti-social idiot and meet people.
yeah, just go out and ask girls you meet on the street to show you their pantsu. That will really make everyone see how anti-social idiots are that do it from *heh* a picture *heh*
Even drawing it is good too.
DAT ASS
i know that somebody going to comment like this
i know it
I think I'm going to go try drawing some underpants right now.
someone pliz translate that Japanese word...
this collection of pantsu pale in comparison to Kuroko-sama's
This is going to help me become an ero-artist.
Chu-... pantsu?
Pan-tsu. Pan-tsu. Pan-tsu. Pan-tsu.
Pantsu kudasai. Hideki wants.
Lol. Or better yet, name it Pan-Chu!!
Chu-Pan
Coool o:
I truly feel enlightened from the first three points alone. Gold mine I say.
Great drawing guide. I'll have to practice drawing them on my shotas ♥
are you gay?
This must be the most important guide ever created.
I salute you, Cauliflower.
Now it's time for me to draw Shima-pan and fap it myself..
What's next? How to draw oppai?
Bras :D
I need a lesson on how to draw pantsu on stick figures.
How to Draw........... I wanna learn now D=
That would be in Chu-Bra!! Season 2 when Nayu becomes a bra designer.
That has already been done a while ago dear sir ^^

I would draw just loli pussies!
Good shit, Tho I rarely care about drawing pantsu.
This is a guide I can get behind.
I would try to draw pantsu, but I already have an ambition and that is to be a tailor then focus on pantsu s only.
=/
YES!! This should be a class course!!!
fuckin right! pantsu are my favorite above anything else.
Pretty pantsu much better than some nopan.
nopan? :D
You are sound so excite that I think you might be lying.
If this guy puts as much effort into the rest of his drawing as he does into his pantsu, he'll turn out to be a pretty damn good artist.
Never mind the lack of translation
As is pretty clear, I linked to my translation on the Channel multiple times in the post. Feel free to have a look there.
A TRUE ARTIST IS ALWAYS METICULOUS ABOUT HIS WORK!
