Dear Iana

Haha, thanks for reading through my tutorial. I won’t be doing any for a long time because I can’t draw super well.

But yes, of course you can use a Charcoal pencil or anything to draw. Hahaha…

PS: I suck in drawing chibis.. (;__; )

wow~ that really helped me this time. though, i can’t really do the hand movements and the strokes. Anyway, can I use the charcoal pencil in doing the final copy?

P.S. If you have any more tutorials in the future, do send me an email.

Dear Noel

It’s going to be hard to draw the same character from another angle because you have to make sure the character can be easily distinguished no matter what.

For instance, your female character has curly front bangs, make sure that trait is very noticeable from the side.

Dear Noel

What kind of hair have you been trying to draw? I think for a start, try to draw hair that are let loose rather than tied up.

And if you follow the foundation structure (the circles and all), make sure you keep the hair close to the head and not overly covered as well as not too little/thin. You can tell if it’s good by seeing how balance the hair makes for the head. If it is too hairy, the head will look too big for the body, vice versa.

Dear Kai

Eto, I’m sorry..I’m not absolutely good at drawing full bodies for male characters…I’m very inconsistent with my drawings so my apologies. I thank you though for viewing my other tutorials. I hope it has helped even by a little. (^-^)lll

All the best in becoming an animator!

Hi I am Kai, I have watched alot of your tutorials on manga charactors and such. I want to be an
animater soon, I’ve planned it all out and everything, And I was wondering If I could request you do a tutorial on a Male full body. I’m good at drawing heads and facial features but when it comes to drawing a body for m Male charactor, I always seem to get stuck.
