Only after trying to draw manga myself did I realize how hard it is... Salute to all manga artists
Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese
Recently, I had a sudden urge to buy an iPad and an Apple Pencil to learn how to draw manga. I watched dozens of YouTube tutorials and thought I could actually draw something.
As it turns out... after three days, I couldn't even finish a single storyboard panel. 😂
The difficulties:
- I can't control human proportions at all.
- Perspective? I have no clue.
- My lines are shaky; my hand trembles while drawing.
- I have no idea where to start with storyboard composition.
This experience has made me respect every manga artist even more. They have to submit over a dozen pages of manuscript every week while maintaining a high standard... they really are superhumans.
Has anyone else tried drawing manga? Any advice for beginners?
