WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD ‘PRACTICE’ YOU MAY WANT TO RUN AWAY, BUT THE HARD TRUTH IS THAT DRAWING IS A DISCIPLINE, AND YOU NEED TO STUDY IT TO IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS. EVEN THOUGH THIS BOOK IS FOP BEGINNERS, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU AS IF YOU WERE AIMING TO BE A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST REGAROLESS OF YOUR ASE! MANY OTHER "HOW TO DRAW" BOOKS JUST SHOW YOU SOME CIRCLES, ANO THEN EVENTUALLY EXPECT YOU TO MAGICALLY E ABLE TO ORAW JUST LIKE THA AUTHOR. GUIDELINES AND PROPORTIONS ARE IMPORTANT. HOWEVER, THERE IS FAR MORE TO MANGA THAN OUST OPAWING CUTE, SEXY "ANIME" CAT GIRLS. EACH ARTIST ALSO HAS UNIQUE PROBLEMS THAT "HOW TO'‘DRAW" BOOKS WON'T TELL YOU HOW TO AOORESS, SO THIS BOOK IS DESIGNED TO DO THE FOLLOWING: HOW TO IMPROVE, HOW TO PRACTICE, HOW TO LOOK OUT FOR BAO DRAWING HABITS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY- WHAT MAKES MANGA, MANGA. THE MORE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE, THE BETTER ACTIST YOU WILL BECOME. IF YOU SURVIVED THIS LONG BLOCK OF TEXT, CONGRATULA- TIONS! T KNOW NOW THAT YOU AGE SERIOUS. ALLOW ME TO SHOW YOU WHAT MY OLD ART LOOKED LIKE, AND HOW IT COMPARES TO TODAY, BECAUSE MANY PROFES- SIONALS OON'T LIKE TO AOMIT THAT THEY WERE ONCE BEGINNERS TOO. | When I first started drawing manga!Beginner Mistakes TEN YEARS MAY SOLINO LIKE A LONG TIME, UT IF YOU GET 6000 ADVICE AND PRACTICE REALLY HARO, YOU CAN SHORTEN THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO IMPROVE. THEREFORE, T AM PASSING ON TO YOU WHAT I HAVE LEARNED OVER THE PAST DECADE. HERE IS A LIST OF A FEW THINGS THAT STIFLES IMPROVEMENT: NEWBIE MANGA ARTIST TRAPS DO NOT copy WHAT YOU SEE BECAUSE IT LOOKS COOL, FIND OUT WHY IT LOOKS COOL, DO NOT oust copy OFF OF Your FAVORITE ARTIST, STUDY PHOTOS OR REFERENCES FROM THE REAL WORLO, DO NOT DeAW SOMETHING FROM MEMORY IF YOU ARE LINSUIPE WHAT YOU ARE OOING. THIS 1S ES- PECIALLY TRUE FOR PROPS AND ENVIRONMENTS. DO NOT THINK THAT FORMAL TRAINING WILL NOT HELP, IT WILL. DO NOT THaT YOU ARE "6000," OR CHANCES ARE YOU WILL STOP IMPORVING. DO NOT Let COMPLIMENTS GET TO YOUR HEAD, FRIENDS AND FAMILY WILL HESITATE TO POINT OUT MISTAKES. DO NOT cet GENT OUT OF SHAPE OVER CON- STRUCTIVE CRITICISM OR TURN AROLIND AND: DEFEND YOUR APT, LISTEN TO WHAT SOMEBODY HAS TO SAY ABOUT YOUR Aer. DO NOT Limit YouRrsELF TO ONE ASPECT, SUCH AS OPAWING GIRLS, BOYS, HUMANS, ETC, EX- PLORE AS YOU CAN TO EMPOWER YOURSELF FURTHER AS AN ACTIST. WORDS OF WISDOM Becoming a manga artist is like weight lifting, you might think you can dive right into it and you can do it, but it takes a lot of training and practice to do it right! Just make sure you never give up.Inspiration vs. Copy Cat THINK ABOUT YOUP FAVORITE MANGA APTIST OP FAVORITE ANIME. CHANCES AGE THAT YOUR ART IS VERY SIMILIAR IN STYLE. MAYBE IT’S THE EYES, OR THE CHARACTER PROPORTIONS. HOWEVER, THINK ABOUT THIS... HHOW MANY OTHE? PROFESSIONAL ART- ISTS 00 YOU SEE OPAW JUST LIKE YOUR IDOL ODES? CHANCES APE NOT MANY, ANO THIS IS WHY YOU LOVE THEM: BECALISE THEI? ACT AND STYLE STANDS OUT FOI THE REST. MAKE NO MISTAKE, EVERY ARTIST ORAWS INSPIRATION FROM SOMEWHERE. AND FROM THIS, THEY MOLO IT INTO SOMETHING OF THEIe OWN, MANGA IS OFTEN ACCUSED OF BEING GENERIC, AND THAT IS BECAUSE MOST ‘MANGA ARTISTS’ AGE COPYING, RATHER THAN FINOING THEMSELVES BEING INSPIPED BY SOMETHING. HOW TO TELL IF YOUR ARTIS A COPY CAT = IF SOMEONE HAS EVER TOLO YOU “HEY YOUR ACT LOOKS JUST LIKE...” ~_IF YOU FIND YOURSELF CONSTANTLY LOOKING. AT ONE PARTICULAR ARTIST FOR INSPIRATION, ANO NOBODY ELSE. = IF YOU HAROLY LOOK AT OTHER ACTISTS FROM DIFFERENT GENRES OP TIME PERIODS, DID YOU KNOW? ‘The large eye anime look was par- tially inspired by Disney cartoons because they liked how expressive big eyes were. However, now they look completely different - now that’s being inspired and not copying,Chapter 1: Test and Practice TEST 1. NAME SOME BAD PRACTICES YOU SHOULO AVOIO AS A NEW APTIST. 2.

THEN COMPARE THEM, ARE THEY TOO SIMILIAe’ U4, ORAW SOMETHING THAT IS REALISTIC FROM A PHOTO, CHECK TO SEE IF IT LOOKS TOO ANIME-LOOKING. 5. ORAW SOME MORE.Chapter 2 Getting The Right Tools BEFORE WE BEGIN OPAWING, YOU WILL PROBABLY WANT TO KNOW WHICH TOOLS ARE THE BEST TO WORK WITH. GUESS WHAT? YOU HAVE A TON OF OPTIONS! COMICS ARE USUALLY DONE TRADITIONALLY WITH PENS AND PAPER BUT YOU CAN ALSO. BECOME A DIGITAL AGTIST TOO, BOTH HAVE THEIR PROS AND CONS, ANO I'M GOING TO BREAK THEM DOWN FOR YOU. Z TRADITIONAL VS, OLEITAL ATTENTION! DO NOT! | REPEAT! DO NOT Buy those How to Draw Manga Kits. ‘They are very gimmicky. You don't have to buy ‘manga’ paper eithe those are also gimmicky and a ‘meant to exploit you for your money ‘and passion for manga.Traditional LET'S TALK ABOLIT TRADITIONAL APT FIRST. HERE ARE SOME PROS AND CONS FOR TRADITIONAL AT: PROS: 1. YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE YOUR ORIGINALS. MANY FAMOUS ARTIST AGE ABLE TO MAKE EXTRA MONEY Y SELLING THE ORIGINALS IF THEI2 WORK BECOMES POPLAR. 2. TRADITIONAL LOOKS ANDO FEELS MORE NATURAL THAN DIGITAL. 3, TRADITIONAL TRAINS YOU TO BE MORE ACCURATE SINCE YOU CAN'T OUST INDO YOUR MISTAKES. CONS 1, TT IS VERY EXPENSIVE SINCE YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY BLIY ANO REPLENSISH YOUR SUPPLIES; PENCILS, PAPER, PENS: eTC. 2. IT’S HARD TO LINDO MAJOR MISTAKES OR BLEMISHES ON YOUR WORK ANO YOU MAY NEEO TO START OVER. 3. YOU HAVE TO SCAN YOUR WORK TO SHAE IT DIGITALLY ANYWAY. WHICH CAN BE A PAIN IF YOU DON’T HAVE MONEY FOR A SCANNER.What materials should | buy? THE FIRST MISTAKE NEW ARTISTS MAKE IS TO ASSUME THAT THEY NEED TO BLIY SPECIAL MATERIALS IN ORDER TO ORAW LIKE A PROFESSIONAL. YOU OON'T! USE WHAT FEELS THE MOST COMFORTABLE WORKING WITH, AND WHAT MAKES YOUR ART LOOK THE BEST. THESE APE MATERIALS THAT ARE INDUSTRY STANDARD ANO APE PECOMMENDED, HOWEVER, PRACTICE IS REQUIRED IN WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO LISE. PENS ARE NOT INDUSTRY STANDARD ‘BUT ARE USE BY THOSE WHO ARE OlP PENS AGE INDUSTRY STANOARO NOT USED TO THE DIP PEN. KEEP IN AND If YOU TRAIN USING A DIP PEN YOU MIND PENS, WHILE EASY TO USE WILL SAVE A LOT OF MONEY. THE LINE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE, WEIGHT WILL ALSO HAVE MORE VARIETY.

YOU'RE DONE WITH EXPENSES FOR A FEW Years. 2. EASY TO BACK-IP ANO SHARE YOUR WORK SINCE IT'S CREATED ON THE COMPUTER. 3. NO SET UP, JUST JUMP ON YOUR TABLET, BOOT’ UP YOUR SOFTWARE AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. YOU CAN PUMP OUT WORK FASTER. CONS 1, 600 FORBID YOUR TABLET, COMPLTER OR SOFTWARE OOESN'T WORK, 2. DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME FEELING AS: TRADITIONAL. 3, A LARGE INVESTMENT AT ONE TIME VERSUS BUYING A FEW DOLLARS IN SUPPLIES EVERY FEW MONTHS.Where can a get hardware and software? 1.

NEW ARTISTS WILL OFTEN ORAW CHARACTERS FROM ‘THE BUST ANO UP ONLY, SO THE FACE IS IMPORVED. WHILE THE PEST OF THE’ BODY IS NESLECTEO. AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT IS TIME TO ORAW A FULL BODY? LITTLE IMPROVEMENT. Don’t be satisfied! AS YOU PRACTICE DON'T @€ SATISFIES WITH YOU FORMULA FOR ORAWING MANGA. KEEP LOOKING FOR. DETAILS TO IMPROVE AND COMPARE YOU ART WITH PROFESSIONALS.

EVERY DRAWING, OOOOLES WILL HELP YOU IMPROVE.IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO KNOW CORRECT ANATOMY BEFORE YOU START TO STYLIZE IT. IF YOU OUMP RIGHT INTO ORAWING MANGA WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT PORPOTIONS ARE CHANGED YOU'RE ART WILL LOOK WEIRD. SO HERE IS A COMPARISON OF REAL BODY ANATOMY ANO MANGA ANATOMY. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW BOTH. THE MEASUREMENT IS ALL IN THE HEAO. IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE THE SIZE OF THE HEAD FOR ACCLIPACY. HUMAN ADULT MALE te heads) MANGA ADULT MALE ¢e heads) we NEASURENENT NOTE: FOR AOUILT MALE HUMANS THE HEIGHT CAN GE BETWEEN 7-8 HEADS. FOR MANGA IT CAN BE 6-8 HEADS DEPENDING ON THE ACTIST PREFERENCE. NOTICE THAT IN MANGA THAT MALES USUALLY HAVE TALL LESS.

HOWEVER, T WOLILO LIKE TO POINT OUT SOME COMMON IMISTAKES., QUICK TIPS FOR HEADS. = MAKE SURE YOU CHECK IF EVERYTHING IS STRAIGHT. = MAKE SURE ALL YOUR FACES AGEN'T THE SAME. = DON'T ALWAYS RAW your HEADS FROM ONE ANGLE TRY DIFFERENT ONES. = MAKE SURE YOU PAY ATTENTION TO OETAILS LIKE THE INSIDE OF THE EARS AND EYELIDS. = MAKE SURE YOU CAN TELL WHO YOUP CHAPACTER ACE BY THEIR FACIAL FEATURES AND NOT @Y OIFFERENT HAI2,Check the Head Proportions MOST HOW TO ORAW BOOKS ALWAYS STAT OFF WITH A BLINCH OF CIRCLES, HOWEVER, WE'LL GET TO THOSE IN A MINUTE, | WILL SHOW YOU THE CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ANIME FACE.

THIS IS WHERE YOU USE THE BALL TO HELP YOU FIGLIRE OUT WHEE THE EYES AGO, WHEN POSSIBLE AVOID THE THREE MAIN ANGLES (PROFILE, FRONT AND 3/4. A: TILTING THE HEAO UP IS A. 6000 WAY TO @€ EXPRESSIVE. WHEN THE HEAO IS TILTEO UP THE EARS COME DOWN. B: TILTING THE HEAD DOWN IS ALSO A GOO0 WAY TO BE EXPRESSIVE. WHEN THE HEAO IS. TILTEO DOWN, THE EARS GO UP ‘TO ALIGN WITH THE EYES. ALSO ORAWING THE SHOLILOERS HIGHER GIVES IT A GOOD ANGLE, C: Tike THIS ANGLE BECALISE I'S ALMOST A PROFILE VIEW UT NOT QUITE.

ORAW A CHARACTER TILTING THEI2 HEAD TO THE SIDE LIKE AN OWL,NOW LET’S ZOOM IN A LITTLE CLOSER AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE FINER OETAILS. THESE FEATURES ARE VERY IMPORTANT, IT MAKES A LARGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAKING YOUR ART LOOK LIKE THE REAL OEAL. Ittakes a lot of practice to get faces to look absolutely correct. Make sure not to get too comfortable with how you draw faces. Keep observing and trying different things.Anime Eyes THERE IS NO SET WAY TO OPAW ANIME EYES. HOWEVER, THERE APE A FEW SMALL THINGS. BEGINNERS MISS WHEN DRAWING, A: ooN’T FORGET A LINE FOR THE EYELIO ABOVE THE EYES. B: THERE APE VAGEED EDGES ON THE TOP LINE REPRESENTING THE LASHES, C: make THE TOP LINE THICKER THAN THE BOTTOM LINE. D: iv cLose-uPs OON’T OUST PAW A LINE FOR THE EvEaROW ENE IT SOME THICKNESS EVEN IN 12S. E: ONn'T FORSET THE TOP LINE CURVES INWAGO AT THE EDGE. E: IN PROFILE VIEW THE EYE IS THINNER, BECAUSE OF THE ANGLE OF THE PUPIL. COMPARE THESE NOTES WITH THE EYE ON LEFT AND SEE IF YOU MAY BE MISSING THESE DETAILS.) MINI TEST Certain types of manga have certain styles of drawing eyes. Shoujo manga are manga for for girls, and shonen manga are manga for boys. can you tell which eyes are suited for which.Anime Noses and Mouths THE NOSE IS A GOOD WAY TO SHOW THE AGE OF A CHARACTER. OLOER CHAPACTERS. HAVE MORE DEFINED NOSES WHILE MORE YOUTHFUL CHARACTERS HAVE SMALLER DOTS. DON'T FORGET TO ADD SHADOW LINDE? THE CHIN AND OON'T FORGET TO ADD A SECOND LINE FOR THE LOWER LIP. DON'T SKIP OUT ON DRAWIING EARS I've notice some new artists when drawing characters using ‘front view’ they don't draw ears. If you truly want to hide the characters ears, draw hair coming in over the cheek. don't use the sides of the cheek as a place where the hair stops. Preferably you should draw ears, at least poking out from the hair.It's Allin The Details Y VERY SUBTLE THINGS YOU CAN 00 MAK: THERE AGE MANY VE E YOUR FACES LOOK PROFESSIONAL ANO OETAILED. HERE APE SOME FACES THAT ARE MISSING SOME THINGS OR THE EYES AE INCORRECT. CAN YOU FIGLIRE OLIT WHAT'S MISSING ANO FIX THEM?Chapter 5: Test and Practice TEST 1.

AS YOU IMPROVE WITH DRAWING YOU FACES, YOU WANT TO IMPROVE EVERYWHERE ELSE AS WELL. THERE APE MANY TUTORIALS ON HANDS ANO FEET BLT YOU NEEO TO PRACTICE TO GET BETTER, GECALISE THERE AGE INFINITE GESTURES AND POSITIONS OF THE HAND, NOT TO MENTION PERSPECTIVE. WHEN IN DOUBT USE A MIRROR! IF YOU AGEN'T SURE WHAT THE HANOS OP LIMES ARE: SUPPOSE TO LOOK LIke, OON’T BE AFRAID TO GET UP FOR A MINUTE AND Ogseeve YOUP OWN HANDS ANO LIMBS IN THE MIRROR. USING A MIReOR IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU WANT TO 00 PERSPECTIVE WITH THE LIMBS BECAUSE THEY CAN LOOK SHORTER THAN THEY REALLY ARE. IF YOU OON'T HAVE A LONG MIPEOR SOMETIMES ASKING THE NEAREST PERSON TO 00 A POSE FOR YOU CAN ALSO HELP, I PERSONALLY 00 THIS. ALL THE TIME WITH MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY. THEY'LL BE CONFUSED AT FIRST AWHILE, BUT TRUST ME IT'LL HELP YOU.WITH HANDS IT TAKES A LOT OF PRACTICE TO GET USE TO, BUT YOU CAN AVOID SOME COMMON MISTAKES. HERE IS A BREAK DOWN OF THE HANO. TAKE NOTE THAT FEMALE AND MALE HANDS ARE DIFFERENT. YOU SHOULO GE ABLE TO TELL THE GENDER OF A CHARACTER BY THE SIZE AND SHAPE OF THEI HANDS ANO FINGERS. A, THE FINGERS MAKE AN ARC WITH THE TALLEST FINGERIN THE MIDDLE, ¢, CENENSEO THE FINGERS HAVE CONTS, G. THE PALIAIS ALARSE AREA THAT THE FINGERS GROW FROM. FIN MALE HANDS, YOU USUALLY SEE THE KNUCKLES, THE HAND IS LIKE A PAN, THE WRIST IS A NARROW ARE. 0. THE THLUNG IS LOWER THAN THE GEST OF THE FINGERS. MITTEN TECHNIQUE BEFORE DRAWING FINGERS: YOU CAN OPAW A SIMPLE SHAPE LIKE A MITTEN THEN ORAW THE FINGERS: AFTERWARDS. COMMON MISTAKES! A, _ FORGETTING TO DRAW THE WRIST. THE HANO. DOESN'T OUST G2OW OUT OF THE ARM. B. SASUAGE FINGERS. THIS IS MORE A CARTOONY STYLE THAT IS NOT COMMON IN MANGA C._NOT ENOUGH PALI AGEA, THE FINGERS DON'T OUST SPROLT OUT OF THE ARM. D. POINTY FINGERS APE ALSO NOT COMMON.SEEING FEET IN MANGA ILLUSTRATIONS IS AN EVEN BIGGER RARITY. HOWEVER, THEY ACE IMPORTANT WHEN YOU WANT TO ZOOM OUT AND SHOW CHARACTERS WALKING, OP IN OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT MAY INVOLVE SHOWING THE FEET. Ne I A, THERE IS A SLIGHT BUMP ‘ON THE TOP OF THE FOOT WHERE THE GONE IS. B. THE BOTTOM OF THE FOOT MAKES ARC. CC. THE GALL OF THE FOOT O. THE ANKLE GONE E,, THE TOES SHRINK AT AN ANGLE. F, THERE IS A LAREE TENDON AT THE BACK OF THE FOOT. G, THE PAO OF THE FOOT. AVOID DUCK FEET When characters stand their feet face forward. Do not draw the feet at 90 degree angles. It's uncomfortable to stand like that. Don't believe me? Try itAVOIO SIMELIFYING THE A2MS ANO LEGS AND OPAWING THEM LIKE STIFF TUBES. YOU MUST REMEMBER THERE IS MUSCLE AND FAT IN THE AQMS AND LEGS THAT GIVE THEM A BEAUTIFUL ORGANIC SHAPE. A, THE SHOULDERS SLOPE ‘At AN ANGLE.

APE YOU MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES?TEST 1, WHAT AGE THE TWO MAIN MUSCLES IN THE UPPER APMP 2. WHICH FINGER IS THE TALLEST? 3, WHAT ARE THE TWO LINES YOU ORAW IN THE BACK OF THE FOOT? 4, HOW MANY JOINTS DOES EACH FINGER HAVE? S. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN LENGTH BETWEEN THE HPPER AND LOWER ARM? PRACTICE 1, ORAW A PAIP OF FEMALE AND MALE HANDS, COMPARE THEM, AND SEE IF YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE CAN SPOT A DIFFERENCE. 2. ORAW 20 PAIRS OF HANDS DOING DIFFERENT THINGS. 3, ORAW IO PAIRS OF FEET AT DIFFERENT ANGLES. U4, ORAW A FULL BODY OF A CHARACTER, WALKING AND RUNNING. 5S, DRAW A CHARACTER IN POSE WHERE THEI?

ORAW 10 HANDS HOLOING DIFFERENT OBJECTS. , ORAW A CHARACTER IN A POSE WHERE THE LEGS ARE VIEWEO FROM THE BACK OF SIDE.Chapter 7 Drawing Hair Hale IS QUITE FLIN TO ORAW, BLIT BEFORE OIVING RIGHT INTO ORAWING THE HAIR, MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE SHAPE OF THE HEAD FIRST. THERE IS NO ONE WAY TO ORAW HAIR, MANY DIFFERENT STYLES ORAW HAIe DIFFERENTLY. JUST FINO ONE YOU LIKE @esT. COME ‘AND GO ‘Anime hair has evolved over the years. 90s anime had very big spiky, crazy hair, but modern anime characters have more realistic hair that obey gravity. Even various hair colors lke blue ‘and pink are phasing out. Keep this in mind when drawing hair and looking at the hairstyles of other artists.SOME MANGA STYLES HAVE VERY SIMPLISTIC HAIR WITH JUST BASIC SHAPES. UIT IF YOU ORAW SHOUJO-INSPIREO MANGA IT LOOKS GOOD TO DRAW VERY FINELY DETAILED HAIR, IT'S UP TO YOURS PREFERENCE WHICH TYPE OF HAIe YOLI PREFER, SIMPLE COMMON MISTAKES UNLESS YOUR CHARACTER IS USING LOTS OF HAI? GEL, THIS TYPE OF HAIG IS VERY AMATEURISH. THE HAI NEEDS TO HAVE A FLOW. NOT LOOK UKE JAGGED TEETH AVOID DRAWING THE HAIP STANDS LIKE STRAW, THE LINES NEEO TO ALWAYS CONNECT TO THE END OF THE HAI@ AND NOT FLOAT WITH NO ENO. KNOW THE HEAO SHAPE. IF YOU JUST ORAW. THE HAI WITHOUT LINDERSTANDING THE HEAD SHAPE, THE HAIG WILL BE EITHER TOO Lagce, OP BE MISSHAPEN. IN THIS ILLUSTRATION THE HAIG IS TOO LARGE IN THE BACK, NOTICE WHERE THE SKULL ENDS.SHONEN MANGA IS VERY EOGY AND THE HAIRSTYLES OF THE CHARACTERS APE USUALLY VERY SPIKY. LINLIKE SHOUJO YOU DON'T PEALLY NEED TO OPAW ALL THOSE OELICATE HAIG STRANDS. HOWEVER, IF YOU'RE GOING TO ORAW THOSE CHAPACTERS WITH THE HAI? STICKING UP YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO KNOW HOW TO ORAW THE HAIRLINE. BAD PRACTICES MAKE SURE THE CHAPACTER’S HAIR LOOKS LIKE AS IF IT IS ATTACHE TO HIS HEAO. IN THIS ILLUSTRATION THE HAIR JUST LOOKS LIKE IT’S SIMPLY SITTING ON TOP OF HIS HEAD. MAKE SUPE YOU KNOW WHERE THE HAIG LINE IS. DEPENDING ON THE STYLE FOREHEADS: CAN BE LARGER THAN LISUAL GUT MAKE SUPE YOU HAVE AN APPOPROATE SPACE. LIKE | SAID A GOOD WAY TO SEE IF HAIC MIGHT LOOK WEIRO IS TO IMAGINE YOUR CHARACTER BALO.Different Hairstyles THERE APE MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF HAIRSTYLES, SOME OF WHICH APE MORE COMMON IN ONE STYLE/GENRE OF MANGA THAN OTHERS. SHONEN MANGA APGUAGLY HAS A WIDER VARIETY OF HAIP THAN SHOLIOO WHICH HAS VERY FEW HAle VARIATIONS. BE AWAGE IF YOUR HAI? STYLES ALL LOOK TOO SIMILIAR, SHONEN OR SHOUJO HAIRSTYLE?TEST 1. IS SPIKY HAIe A SHOUIO OR SHONEN CHARACTERISTIC? 2. ARE CHARACTERS WITHOUT BANSS COMMON IN ANIME? 3, WILL ADDING DETAILED STRANDS OF HAIR MAKE YOUR DRAWING BETTER? 4, DOES HAIe HAVE A CERTAIN FLOW TO IT? PRACTICE 1, DRAW FIVE SHOLUO CHARACTERS WITH OIFFERENT HAI STYLES. 2. DRAW FIVE SHONEN CHARACTERS WITH DIFFERENT HAIR STYLES: 3, ORAW A BALO CHARACTER FROM THE FRONT, 3/4 AND PROFILE VIEW.

YOU CAN'T DRAW A COMIC WITH ONLY TEENAGERS; YOU HAVE TO HAVE PARENTS, ELDERLY PEOPLE, YOLING CHILOREN, AND SO ON, USUALLY WHEN AN AGTIST FINALLY ATTEMPTS TO DRAW COMIC, THEY SUDDENLY REALIZE THEY HAVE TO ORAW THE MOM OP OAD AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO 00. THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS THE ADULTS END LIP LOOKING LIKE 16-YEAP OLOS WITH WRINKLES. INSTEAD THE ADULTS ALL LOOK LIKE THEY AGE 16 GUT WITH WRINKLES, "S FIX THAT.

AGE 4 AGE 6 AGE 8 AGE 10 NOTICE HOW THE EYES MOVE UP A LITTLE BIT ON FACE, ANO HOW THE CHIN GETS SLIGHTLY MORE POINTED, ALSO YOUNGER CHARACTERS TEND TO HAVE LARGER EYES THAT GET SMALLER AS THEY GROW UP.Pre-teen to Young Adult FROM PRE-TEEN TO YOLING ADULT EVEN MORE FEATURES CHANGE. THE CHEEKS STACT HIGHER? ON THE FACE AND THE EYES CONTINUE TO MOVE UP ANO GET SMALLER TILL THEY HIT AGOLIND 18 YEARS. THE NECK ALSO GETS WIOEP ONCE THE CHARACTER REACHES AROUND AGE 16.

WHICH THEY AREN'T. MANGA IS JAPANESE FOR ‘COMICS’ AND ANIME IS JAPANESE FOP ‘WHIMSICAL PICTURES.’ IF YOU DO NOT PUT YOR ANIME KNOWLEDGE INTO MAKING SEQUENTIAL STORIES THEN YOU AGE NOTHING MORE THAN AN ILLUSTRATOR.
