Introduction

"| want to have a go at drawing anime and game characters." "| want to draw manga." Or, "| want a job in Graphic Design." If you bought this book, you are probably thinking along these lines "But | can't draw as well as so-and-so from my Art club, and | am no match for that guy who researches manga and has started his own coterie magazine." There are a lot of people out there who would like to give it a try but don't because they think

it looks too difficult and don't know how to go about improving their drawing

| wrote this book to help these kind of people Those around you who are good at drawing were not born that way You too could draw if you could just change your way at looking at things slightly It is surprising how many people actually draw from memory (off the top of their head) Instead of concentrating on the difficulties involved

in drawing the human body, start by taking a long look at how the professionals approach it

The following is a list of special terms and abbreviations used in this book

Chapter 1

Let's get down to the basics!

‘(aia eae Let's get down to the basics!

Where are y0u going wrong?

Take for example the three points A, B and C below

What are you looking at when you draw the straight line A — B and the curved line A —> —> B? At the pencil? Or at points C

Next, look at the 7 random points below What can you see?

Just a cluster of points? Or can you faintly discern a shape? You haven't got it yet, have you?

Let's number the points at random You still naven't got it yet, have you?

Let's renumber the points to give them meaning You see, your eyes automatically follow the points in

order Those who can make out the shape from looking at points in this way are able to draw shapes

Finally the points are joined up Random lines join to form a shape Those talented at drawing can perceive

hidden lines within a picture and trace them smoothly Your ability to draw shapes depends on whether or

not you can visualize the points in the correct order

ere Let's get down to the basics!

Have you heard of the phrase motion capture that is common in the world of computer games and Comuputer

Graphics(CG)? It is a useful system whereby the computer reads a person's movements using transmitters placed at certain points of the human body

Actually this same function is also evident in people who can draw well Think back to the method of drawing lines AB explained on the previous page An entire body or face is mapped out using points situated at the corners of the eyes, the bridge of the nose, arm joints etc This enables a proportional picture to be drawn Put another way, if you concentrate and look hard, you too can detect where such points are on the face and limbs

3 Draw an outline by joining up the points

4 Increase the number of points to decide the eyes, nose, beard, shape etc

5 You have done!

es Let's get down to the basics!

Where am l going wrong?

First, where you are going wrong? Let's compare an amateur drawing with the work of a professional It is not just a matter of this picture is good and this one is bad A professional's work demands many things: attention to minute detail, knowledge of the subject matter, the ability to concentrate, and smooth line strokes Compare your drawings with the following pencil drawings and time how long you take

perspective right but

The gun is one-dimensional

When drawing from

the head down, there

is no room to draw the

feet at the bottom of

the paper Start by

working out the length

of the whole body

And all this is done in pencil!

The professional's work

Let's make some changes because the set of poses lacks something

5

= i)

can't see

Make the character look

stronger by positioning hand on hip

Fix the position of

the sword and gun-

belt so that they

form a clear cross

section

‘Y Create an air of

| roughness Cut off one of

; | the legs of the jeans to

jazz up the design Don't draw shorts because they would not be suitable for this particular character

What you need is concentration, perseverance and a good design

You cannot do a good drawing without an image in mind (the design) of

how you are going to draw the character If you draw badly, you will lose

your ability to concentrate and your patience You will find yourself stuck

in a vicious circle because a good design will not come to you if you

have lost your concentration So, the design first

Pay attention to the pose and

the way the left hand is drawn

The professional's work

Angulate the feet to make them three- dimensional

This took an

hour and a half

Advanced: At a glance it

looks good but

Make eyebrows and eyes 7” | symmetrical

{ wavy hair looks softer ]

TS ie | Vary the thickness of the lines to

Slim down the fingers

to make them more

feminine

Pay attention to the position

of the hand Move the hand

to one side because it is

difficult to see properly if it

is over the body

ee

make the character more three-

dimensional

The accessory design is

important but also pay

attention to the details

Express a sense of weight

by flattening out the

bottom where it is in

contact with the ground

This was done

in 55 minutes!
