How To Draw Manga and Anime: Walkthrough 3

Here I am again with another walkthrough on how to draw manga and anime. I've been looking all over the web for different manga and anime tutorials and I'm always surprised by just how many ways there are of drawing manga and anime. Just when I'm thinking I've seen them all I'll find a unique style I'm not aware of. I advise you too keep looking for more tutorials and more references to help you, keep absorbing all the things you learn and improve your skills.

This is the finished product, it's just a rough work but I prefer rough looking artworks like these. As you can see, I didn't even clean up the line art. I lack the patience to create full colored renders majority of the time. Check out how made this using NekoPaint.

Sketching Heads Using NekoPaint #2

Another video walkthrough of me rough sketching using nekopaint. This time it's a speed paint, at about 1.5x the normal speed. Hope you guys find it useful.

Sketching Heads Using NekoPaint

Another video of me sketching anime heads, this time using NekoPaint. The symmetry tool is perfect for sketching when you're trying out different ideas and during character creation. Again all in real time. I hope you guys learn something from it.

Video Walkthrough: Sketching Heads Using MyPaint

This is just me sketching some basic head shapes. These are just a few ways of sketching manga and anime heads and I'll be posting a lot of these kinds of videos. The beauty with drawing manga and anime is there's an infinite amount of ways to do it, but that's also what makes it hard to make tutorials for it. What you see on manga and anime tutorials shouldn't be the basis of how you draw. Rather, use what you learn to further improve your own style.

Video quality is still bad since I'm still learning how to edit videos. I'll be doing video sketches like this for different areas like the hair, face, body, arms, legs etc.

Video Walkthrough Using NekoPaint, First try

I finally tried making a video walkthrough, it's harder than I thought. There's this added pressure when you're actually recording.

Anyway, this is the finished product made using NekoPaint. Be warned that this is my first time making a video walkthrough. I had no idea what I was doing and I was slow, the video is about 12 minutes long. Check it out.

We'll get to the manga tutorials on future posts, but right now I'll just walk you through my design process as I drew a simple character design. Like I mentioned before, we'll start with the very basic. This walkthrough is for beginners only but everyone is welcome to check it out. Hopefully after viewing this, you can be on your way to learning how to draw manga.

On this walkthrough, I used a free drawing software called MyPaint. If you want to find out more about this application, check out my reviews. This is the finished product. Find out how I made it.
