Manga Tutorials

Japanese design cartoon figures or manga characters have made their way into the hearts of millions of cartoon enthusiasts from all over the world. If you are like me you are also a fan of manga style. I love this style of drawing a lot... and let me tell you something, you'll have a much more fun by drawing wonderful manga styled characters than what you can have by looking at the art designed by others.

Now, in spite of what lots of people might believe, drawing manga is fairly simple. Doesn't matter if you're a professional artist or are just starting out it is easy to pick up manga drawing skills with some honest effort and of course somewhere to learn how to draw manga, so going through some manga tutorials.

There are a few typical characteristics in a manga character's body and face. Once you are aware of these you'll be able to draw beautiful manga and amaze your friends and family.

In manga styled characters several body parts are exaggerated and some parts are represented by making use of very basic hint-lines. Such as, eyes are drawn larger and expressive but for the nose and mouth small lines are used.Female's eyes are larger than male's eyes, and also a vast majority of evil characters are drawn with very small eyes. As well as the body is normally drawn taller than normal. Limbs are generally thin and long.

When drawing hair you have quite a few options --you can draw lots of individual lines to symbolize hair, or you may use volume hair as though hairs formed a number of thick tubular structures. Both the styles are popular, work with which one suits your temperament along with your character's personality.

A precaution: when drawing the head start with an oval shape and draw the eyes on the midway point from the top. Because, if you ever draw the eyes above that line you run a risk of ending up with a character with a flat looking scalp.When drawing exaggerated eyes be sure that the eyes don't cross over the cheekbone this is a mistake newbies frequently make.
