Drawing Manga Characters from Scratch

“We have reached the end of the course! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn manga illustration techniques with us. We hope you had fun and acquired new skills and ideas to incorporate into your own work. We hope that this is just the first step in a long dialogue about manga-style illustration. Classes are over, but not learning. We hope that you continue on the design path and that you train a lot. The journey is hard, but rewarding and reserves good surprises for those who work hard. Now, below, you will see some steps of our creation process. Once we have planned the path we have decided to follow, we put the body to work. We studied the proportions of the human body, the physical variations by gender and age, we saw how the body behaves in movement and the importance of this for applying clothing, light or heavy.

And finally, we study the elements of the face, the facial expressions to be able to finish the assembly of our character. This is the cycle of building our character through a model sheet. Now it's your turn! Share your process and experiences on the forum so we can see your project. Your work will inspire more people in the community! Also share your future work here in the Domestika creative community. Seeing the process of creating other people enables us to learn more and learn about other ways of thinking about the composition of an illustration. Important: everyone is invited to give feedback on community work! We will be attentive to the messages and ask for patience if at some point we take a while to respond, we will try to reconcile with our work schedule whenever possible. Keep practicing and see you soon! ”
