How to Draw a Manga Character

Not so long ago, the team of Easydrawingart.com taught you how to draw an anime, and today we will show you how to draw a manga character.

In fact, both of these genres differ little from each other, because anime is animated manga.

Step 1

So, let’s start with the skeleton of the manga character. The head, chest, and pelvis are depicted in the form of ovals, and the spine and limbs in the form of simple lines.

Step 2

Next, create the lines on the head that will help to depict the details of the face. Create a neck and connect the chest and pelvis creating the torso.

Step 3

Let’s move on to the limbs now. The shoulder, elbow and knee joints look like balls, and the arms and legs are in the form of simple cylinders.

Step 4

Remember the lines on the head from the second stage? So now we need them. With the help of them, depict all the details as the artists of Easydrawingart.com did in the sketch below.

Step 5

Now, with a large number of short and straight lines, depict hair. By the way, in the instruction on how to draw anime hair, you will learn more about this.

Step 6

Let’s add some details now. Create cuffs on the neck and arms. Next, go to the pants and depict the texture, as did the artists of Easydrawingart.com.

Step 7

Let’s finish sketching the manga character’s head. Depict the jaw as the artists of Easydrawingart.com did or come up with a different shape. Depict eyebrows and remove all guidelines from the head.

Step 8

Now let’s move on to the upper body. Use the eraser to clean the torso and arms from the guidelines. Add the creases to the sweater as the artists of the Easydrawingart.com did.

Step 9

Now let’s move on to the lower body, erasing all unnecessary lines from the legs. Similarly, use darker lines to darken the pants and depict some folds.

Step 10

Manga is black and white or color. So you can leave your manga drawing either as in the previous stage or paint the manga with colored pencils or paints.

We very smoothly but quickly got to the end of the instruction on how to draw a manga character. The team of Easydrawingart.com is very fond of anime and manga, and so we created a whole category under the same name. There you will find everything that will be needed for lovers of Japanese animation.
