How do you draw manga/anime?

I am completely at a loss of how you draw anime/manga characters. I really want to learn but I have no idea how. X-( Please help!

Re: How do you draw manga/anime?

I struggled at first, but mostly I'd say you just have to practise  smile .

If you really want to learn, you could try Googleing something like "Manga Tutorials" or "How to draw Manga" which might help though ^^.

Also, this isn't really Scratch related and would probably belong in the Miscellaneous section.

Re: How do you draw manga/anime?

I'll move this to Miscellaneous for you - a lot of people on Scratch are good at drawing manga (not me lol) - maybe they'll help you  smile

AS knibbs said, look online for drawing tutorials. FInd what is most hard for you and work on it.

For me, it was the eyes. Then I learned to draw them, and everything fell into place.

Oh, and BTW: there are many ways to draw Manga/Anime. Just find a style you like or make your own  tongue  Be creative  big_smile

Re: How do you draw manga/anime?

Its all in practice.
At first I was a bit bad at drawing anime, but you just have to get used to the style. If you watch japanese kids cartoons and study the way they look, you'll soon get the hang of it. (That's how I learned. See? Watching TV is educational!  big_smile  ) Then all you have to do is PRACTICE. Yo don't need any fancy-schmancy drawing pencils, you just need paper and a regular pencil to get yourself started.

Goodbye, Misc. Until we meet again.

Re: How do you draw manga/anime?

It's easy:

Step1: Make normal drawing
Step2: Add HUGE eyes.

Done.  big_smile

How do I draw it? Badly. Sorry, but any advice I give would be bad advice.

Re: How do you draw manga/anime?

A good way to learn is to watch/read some manga/anime and get a feel for the style of drawing.  wink

Then how come I have an obsession with pretty much any decent manga I find and I fail at drawing anything apart from...
Dragons (not including feet, and not even in manga style)
Well, shading I guess.
