Remember that you don’t need to spend a great deal of time on this; the lines for clothing are much simpler than the details of a body and face, and since you’re not doing a breakdown this time and you shouldn’t be animated anything complicated like a the flowing folds of a full-length robe just yet, you should be able to just rough-sketch everything close to how it would look after the final linework.

Just like when we started the base for the body, after drawing the first frame I’ve gone to the last frame and drawn a key there, to show the final position. You’ll notice that in this instance the collar looks shorter and you can see the turtleneck above it; in later sketches I went back and changed this.
