Description
Working on a manga project with ~Aaureole-Complexion means we sort of have to learn each others' method of drawing.I scanned in some pictures for her as a step by step example of my drawing method.
Well, I thought since I've already scanned them why put them to waste right?
So here's my first shoddy attempt at a guide/tutorial. It's more just an outline of how I personally draw than a tutorial... but beginner anime artists may find it helpful...?
Anyway, I'm no professional so don't be too harsh on me... XD

I like the way you draw things out. When I draw I just use circles to create the body but I should try your way some time.

whoa, pretty cool guide, i might give it a go, been wanting to make some cool anime versions of my friends for a while but always sucked at the human form

ahhhh I suck! I can't even make the face shape. I'm having some serious difficulties, how did u start drawing anime?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I started by copying pictures of anime I liked. That's probably the best way to start and develop a style, simple straight copying and once you gain some confidence start doing your own thing.

ok thank you. That sounds good, I copied some eyes and they came out good. I gotta do some cool shiny hair lol

Tute is muchly appreciated 
Would it be possible sometime to do a tute on the style itself, rather than just drawing a figure? Figures I can do, but anime has always escaped me, and I don't know whether it's the different proportions, angles, lines or whatever.
I know a lot of other people struggle with it too, so if you ever find the time, a little guidance from one as skilled as yourself would go a long way to improving a lot of people
Just a suggestion of course! I realise you're a busy person

Haha... *feels flattered*
Well ok I suppose maybe I can do a tute on *my* anime style. There's lots of different ways to draw "anime" and mine is just one of them. I got my style just through experimentation and looking at other peoples' work and randomly taking bits and pieces that I like and using them.
