Manga: Part 2

Hello peeps.  Here’s the 2nd part, sorry again, for the delay

1. Balancing Heads & Bodies* The upside down triangle as shown above is the basic base to get the proportion of  a bishoujo (female character).  But, it is depends on us on how we want to appeal each character. ^^

2. Bending Bodies

* The center line of the body is a straight line.  But if your character appear to be in bending pose, the straight line should be bend into the letter S. It same goes to any other pose. The center line and the horizontal line will help u to get the position (of spine & body) of your character.

 

3. Drawing Breast

 

* Drawing breast is important especially for the bishoujo. However, there are variety of sizes and shapes for breast and it depends on the individual preferences, but the base is still the same. 

 

* Take note that there’s a differences in drawing an adult and child. If we don’t want our child character to be too voluptuous, then reduce the flesh on the bust and buttock. Same goes to an adult character, to make it even realistic and look more womanly , we can add the volume  of the bust and the buttock line.

4. Examples

*  This is some example of male character. Even if u draw a character with clothes on, you still need to start it from the basic base.

* See how the center lines helps us to get a better proportion of our character.* Just like the previous bishoujo examples, if you’re drawing a bishounen (male character), and would like them to look muscular, all you have to do is to add some volume to their flesh and body part.

 

5. Example II: YUKARI! ^^

Ok, this is just an example. Always remember that each character,or object start with a rough sketch! It does not have to be perfect but as long we follow the flow and basic base, we can surely make a nice manga character ( of course, through lots of practices too) ! ^^

* My drawing is not  good and even quite messy, but peeps, i’m glad to share this! ^^ Kudos to Hikari Hayashi for providing a lot of drawing skills in her books which has been my best friend since im 16 ^^

Last but not least, enjoice!
