Study of basic anatomy principles followed by a verbose understnading of lighting

and color theory.

Break down the character into simple shapes identify the shapes into the levels of
value based on a B&W grid, this will help you simplify the artwork process into
easier to approach steps rather than an impossibly large overall piece.
For the shading, observe how light interacts with the models youd like to use,
study how fabric clings to the body and what creases form and what shadows are cast
on the clothing.

For color theory, youll need to read the outstanding literature about what colors
illicit what responses and the proper approaches to their use.
(Example, using Purple instead of black, never shading in black but in some sort of
blue, etc.)

After all those principles are understood to a relevant degree you can then
approach the understanding of anatomy, even in this image their's a flaw of anatomy
considerng were seeing the cleavage line but little to no indication of the
roundness, so the artist that created this has some lack of understanding in that
department unless of course it was a stylistic approach.
