Plz I need help drawing manga. I am such a fail. Please give any tips if possible!

Personally I learned everything I know on how to draw by first tracing, looking and copying, and then the true test of drawing it on my own.
*lots of people say they like my art so I guess it's good?*

I don't think anyone else has this method so I don't know if it'll help in anyway but you could try it?
*most use a "How To Draw* book or something like that*

*if you wanted to MAKE a manga*
As for creating page borders, you should create 3 small ones and a larger forth panel, for maybe to add the setting to or just a certain important scene?

Ugh. Sure. I defiantly need help. Right now my iPad won't show any pics on my book. It's all black right now. I'm really good at tracing, though, but my head is stuck on not tracing or copying.

Just keep drawing! Everyday! You'll get good I promise ;) or you could do the easy way and take an art class :o I never bothered though xP Just raw talent

Sorry if I didn't help much ^^'
*btw the tracing thing is just something I did because it made it easier to remember what I did before to draw a person/object/etc. later on my own if I want to*

I guess. If I could find my book...

Hi Crystal! :D

I've been drawing for a while and I can offer my advice. My website is not Sylestia-appropriate since I occasionally use profane words on my blog, but I can paraphrase some tips from it!

-Drawing is so difficult for grown-up humans (and even kids) because when we're kids growing up, we're taught to think of the human body and other objects as things some artists today call "symbols."

Think of a symbol as the almond shape of an eye, the stick shape of an arm or leg, or the circle shape of a head.

... Poof! Instant stick figure. But that looks NOTHING like a real human being, you say! It almost looks like a cave painting!

Well, of course. ;) That's because the "cave painting" is made up of "symbol" body parts. In order to create a more accurate-looking drawing, we must look at the body as a "whole image made up of lines" instead of a "whole body made up of shapes."

Then...

Try taking a black-and-white photo (or image) from your computer and flip it upside-down. Ideally, have a friend do this so you don't see the image right-side-up! Then, draw the image as you see it (upside-down!)

This tricks the right hemisphere of your brain (the creative one) into taking over the activity of seeing. Basically, you'll stop drawing a cave painting and start drawing a creative masterpiece.

-Try picking a subject and drawing it in the short period of anywhere from 30 to 90 seconds. You can use an iPhone's timer or an egg timer for this, but the key is to capture the movement and key ideas of the image, not necessarily the details.

-Another great exercise is to pick a subject and stare at it while drawing it on your sketchbook... without looking at your sketchbook. Yes... the finished product will look like nothing from this world. :P However, you'll find quickly that your lines become more steady, even with images you draw WHILE looking at.

And those are my 3 tips!

:) I hope these help you, as basic as they are! They can be complex, too, depending on how you look at it.

Hey there :D
I've only just started (to attempt) drawing manga as well so we're in the same boat!
It helps if you know what style you are trying to draw, ie. shonen or shoujo. Therre are differences and it can look wrong if you're using one style for the other. A thing that helps me a lot is to have reference pictures on my computer screen so I can refer back to that. I also found it useful to start off with drawing my favourite characters from other mangas, because I could get the hang of it without having to be... well, creative.
There are also some great sites out there, http://www.mangatutorials.com/all-tutorials/ in particular is really good.
And lastly, using lined paper helps a lot, because you can make things more symmetrical using the lines.
Hope this helps XD
