Learning to Draw Manga for Something Benefitial

I think this is one of those skills which I always wanted to learn. I don’t know how to properly draw manga as of yet. I do know how to draw cartoon. But that’s the only thing I know as of now. But I wish to learn more. I have managed to download some YouTube videos and tutorial eBooks. But manga drawing is not easy for me. Also I don’t have much time. You can see that there are plenty of artists with their own skills. And their own ways to draw things. It just that you have to come up with your own style while drawing. And that’s not an easy part. You may not be able to get it easily for sure. I have tried to get that part going on for some time. However I may write some manga shorts while learning to draw because I have some stories to share with the others as well.

Chubby Manga

I think I have followed artists who know how to draw the chuby drawing. And I also learned how to make the short funny stories out of that. But to be honest drawing chubby animals is lot easier than drawing the chubby humans. Because chubby humans expressing their emotions is not that easy. Also the amount of thinking that goes for the drawing, this just makes things harder for most of the part. I am learning here to draw and there are various things that we can look forward to for sure. I think chubby manga has lot to do but not good enough for the horror and the thriller story plots. So that’s out of my interests.

Story

Another thing about the manga is that it needs to have some story. You can’t just draw something random. You have to draw with some specific with the story. And that’s where most of our skills are coming along. I for one want to understand the story based art. Lack of story in the art makes it kind of harder to work with most of the time. I don’t think there are ways to manage the manga in proper direction. You should consider using the story in a way where you can build yourself proper manga. You may not find this in a good light but there are times when you should consider drawing manga with a story.

Publishing

I think another thing that may get in the way is publishing. Reaching more people is required. Otherwise that art has no value. And that art may not feed your stomach. You should consider having that art published in any way possible. Most likely this is very important step that almost everybody is missing. And it makes you wonder what you can do to make the publishing better. I am not sure about this considering I have not made much contacts and this is something I am struggling personally too.

That being said, it’d be interesting to see how the publishing of manga would go. And I wish to learn how to do that on everyday basis too.
