Manga pictures are not hard to draw once you understand its basic characteristics. And here they are.

Firstly, manga characters are adorable looking. This cuteness is defined by extremely large eyes, an almond shaped face, and a very small mouth. In fact, the faces of manga characters can look very similar, and they’re differentiated mostly by their elaborate hair, dressing and accessories.

The manga face is made up of very basic shapes. So there’s very little I can recommend here except to practice, practice, practice. If you can master drawing one manga face well, you’ll be able to draw other manga faces as well.

How do I learn how to draw manga?

There are some typical features in a manga style character’s body and face.

In manga style some body parts are exaggerated and some parts are represented using very simple hint-lines. Like, eyes are drawn bigger and expressive and for nose and mouth small lines are used.

Girl’s eyes are larger than boy’s eyes Body is drawn taller than normal. Limbs are generally thin and long.

When drawing hair you have more than one option –you can draw lots of individual lines to represent hair, or you can use volume hair as if hairs formed a number of thick tubular structures. Both the styles are popular, use which suits your temperament and your characters mood.

Few precautions: when drawing head start with an oval shape and draw the eyes at the half way from the top if you draw the eyes above that level you run risk of ending up with a character with flat looking scalp.

While drawing exaggerated eyes make sure eyes do not cross the cheekbone this is a mistake beginners often make
