Disclaimer: This is intended for PDN users, but it can be adapted for users of other software.
To start off, open the template and erase all of the colored parts. Meaning, the parts you'll be drawing on. You don't need them, and they'd just be in the way if you kept them there.
Next, select ONE HALF (left or right (64x128 is the dimension, which should be shown at the bottom of the screen while selecting with the selector tool)) of the torso, unless you're drawing something with asymmetry, in which case, select the full torso.
I recommend using the default lines. Meaning, the thickness should be TWO, and the assymetry should be ON. Don't forget that there are only four nubs to use when bending and curving lines. If you need to use multiple lines for one line, go for it.
If you're drawing something with symmetry (meaning you only selected one half), copy the half onto a new picture. Meaning, select it, Ctrl+C it, then click "File>New". Since you copied something, the dimensions already be correct.
Click "Okay", then click "Layer" and flip the image, so that it turns and becomes the other side of the shirt. Copy it, and place it back on the template, so that it is the other half.
Once you've drawn the full torso front, use the method of copying something to a new file and flipping them for repeated/mirroring objects for the back, if it's symmetrical. This also works for the arms and legs, if they're supposed to look the same.
After the outline is complete, create a new layer, and move it UNDER the linework. Select the areas that will HAVE THE SAME color, using the MAGIC WAND. With the wand selected, turn the tolerance to 70%, EXACTLY. This will allow you to select the transparent parts of the lines.
Remember: DO NOT color on the same layer as the linework. Color on the layer UNDER it. This makes the lines look much less pixilated and more appealing to the eye. Appeal is good.
Remember: When creating a color, make sure that the color is slightly pale and not too vivid, this will make it look surreal, and overall, like an eyesore. So, about 4/5 on the "S" bar, and it should be good. Adding a little darkness may also help for a more realistic look.
The next step is to shade. The shading should be DIRECTLY ABOVE the linework layer. To shade, draw the shapes of the shadows in a very VIVID color, I use lime green. Once you've drawn the shapes, SELECT them with the WAND, and create a new layer.
Color over the selected area with a PURE BLACK color that has about a 100 transparency, maybe a little less if you prefer.
After adding the black, delete the "lime green shading" layer, then, go back to the black shading layer. Use a GAUSSIAN BLUR in the effects tab, and set it to ONE or TWO. This will make your shadows fade a bit, like a shadow.
That's about all there is to it. This is the method I use, and I find it easy and, of course, it works. Don't forget though, linework in itself can take HOURS to create. Still, it can be worth it. Whether you're bored or need to make virtual cash.
Thanks for using (or atleast reading) my tutorial! If you have questions, please ask. I can likely help.

Yeah, that's not incredibly vague and useless.

I'd say the majority are, but I get your point. |

"Me = Open Paint, make clothes, save, upload. "
"make clothes"
I just explained the "make clothes" step. You have to consider that it's not just "Poof! It happened!"
It's a process, if you want it done right. |

You're welcome. I've used neither of those.

This is a guide for how to DRAW, not COPY. |
