So You Want To Draw Anime and Manga

Anime and Manga style drawing covers a large range of styles. Cute to realistic, comedy to bloody dramas, the trick is to find your own style. Even if you only want to draw fanart the whole time, sometimes it looks better in your own style rather than the original...besides, it makes your own work unique from anyone else's.

Although it may seem really simple to draw anime characters, there are really many things to consider. Like I said before, anime and manga covers quite a large range of styles. For example, one has to decide if they want their characters to look realistic and dark like CLAMP draws their characters in X/1999 or cute 'n cheeky like Rumiko Takahashi draws Ranma 1/2.

Drawing anime and manga style takes time and patience. Personally, whenever I'm feeling too stressed about schoolwork, I take time to sketch a little in my room while listening to a little music, and by the time I'm done, I feel alot more relaxed. So, take your time when you draw anime, don't get frustrated if you first piece comes out badly. Remember that what looks bad in your eyes, may look like a master piece to someone else. *^_^*
