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?

As a fan creator, drawing manga really takes time to accumulate. I suggest starting with tracing; first learn to imitate the art style of the manga artists you like, and then slowly develop your own style. Don't be impatient!

Although both manga and anime are "drawings," their techniques are completely different. Manga relies on paneling to guide the reader's eye, and this technique is truly difficult. I recommend reading instructional manga like "Manga Classroom."

I recommend Clip Studio Paint! It's better suited for drawing manga than Procreate, featuring paneling tools and a massive library of assets. The iPad version is also great to use, and the monthly subscription isn't expensive.
