whatever happened to figuring things out for yourself by copying pictures of your favorite characters? the best way is to first copy your favorite characters till you can draw it accurately by yourself. by doing this over and over you'll build up your technical skill. it's also good to learn how to draw real people so all your drawings don't always look like anime.

however, if you start off by copying anime, you're gonna draw like that for a long time till you train yourself to draw more realistically. trust me, i can't not draw anime-style characters. its been inbeded into my brain.

^^^^What he said....Thats exactly the way how i learned to draw--by using my favorite characters for refrernce and learned little by little by doing that. Hehe, i remember in the 3rd grade i was drawing pokemon characters ^.^; I still draw, and i am facinated by the works of clamp, yukiru sugisaki, and koge-donbo. And its ok to grab sum referance for your drawings. Right now i draw anything im thinking of, or whatever pops in my head. I still think i suck bad, but my friends say i draw better than them -__-; its wierd.....

yes, you can use books for more help, but if you want to learn quickly, like what i do, just view pictures on google and try to sketch them, then you will get better at it.

Drawing books are way easier. I learned from a drawing book, but got started from a website. Don't fall for crappy imitation anime drawing books though. I almost fell for one (two actually). It was horrible. Bad toons, baaad.

that's exactly what i do. i look off of my manga books and draw the characters. but every once in a while it helps to look at a tutorial

I never did those learn how to stuff. It takes the uniqueness and original style out of the artist.

I would say buying books would be better to learn because most of them are made by the best artists out there.. I have like 2 or 3 for no reason... -___-;;

I suggest them because sometimes looking up and down from the screen can be strenuous to the neck ^^

I didn't need to learn tutorials, but what I did was take a favorite Anime/Manga character you like to draw and keep drawing it untill you feel comfortable on how your piece turns out, it may take awhile but isn't it the same thing as learning from a tutorial? you start from shapes and drawing skeletons, rectangles for arms circles for the joints I mean if you want to go through all that sure. but all I did was take something your comfortable drawing with and then practice from there , you'll eventually figure out the dimensions, shapes, and other tools you use after practice. practice practice practice thats all I can say

I got some books to help, but really ^ that's the way I learned best.
