I remember when I was about 14 or something, my mom, knowing that I liked anime and manga and stuff, bought me a "How to Draw Manga" book. But it was hilariously shitty. Just nothing but weeaboo pandering and just general bad drawing advice. Wish I still had it so I could upload scans or something.

I know its possible to get better at drawing manga without drawing from life but its more than just drawing character design. These are the right books you should be looking for before moe style books: http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/5662621/Art_and_Drawing_Ebook_collection

And online, these "Super Manga Sketching" books cost 200-300$ each one. Too expensive.

I wouldn't focus too much on detail at your stage, just find a sketchbook and do quick warmup's with posemaniacs everyday. One day you'll study about proportions and other day will be about how far the body can bend and twist. Trust me you will get better with practice.

What the fuck man

Is it just me or are almost ALL starting attempts of drawing anime characters start EXACTLY like this.

1) It's a girl
2) Her tongue's sticking out
3) One hand is hidden, the other is in a V shape
4) They always have tits, never flat
5) They never have legs
6) THE HAIR IS ALWAYS SHORT

It might be just me. Might be just the select few I've seen show their first anime attempts. They almost always have all those 6 traits in their drawings. I have no explanation and I am quite stunned.

all my drawings just similarly like this, i don't know, I want to learn other angles but this default just stick out of my mind. Well i thinks its because i only draw once every two weeks. I dont feel like drawing because i just draw similarly same things all over again.

Holy shit, this thread is serious? If you want to draw anything properly learn how to draw it as realistically as posible and once people is able recognize what the fuck is in the paper proceed to distort to make it look nice and create/use a style, but never ever start to draw with one of these pieces of shit

From my interactions with another Russian who draws pretty well, Russians in general are pretty crazy. The one I know will add "special extras" to his art. Hopefully he remembers to take them out. My company almost had people having sex (in silhouette) go out the door once because he forgot to remove it before sending it to us.

Anonymous Sun Feb 19 02:22:29 2012 No.8589379 [DELETED]

>>8588398

In solid geometry, skew lines are two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel. Equivalently, they are lines that are not coplanar. A simple example of a pair of skew lines is the pair of lines through opposite edges of a regular tetrahedron. Lines that are coplanar either intersect or are parallel, so skew lines exist only in three or more dimensions.
