why don't you start with the basics shape out the character first then fleish em out and then cloth with your own design

yes anime is just besic shapes
crcals squers ect ( yes i cant spell i know) and be thes way is to do the jonts but do a stick body frist and then add the flesh kk ^^ try that it helped me ^^

hey have you heard of the book called the complete idiots guid to Manga Illistrated? it has helped me alot. oh and please dont think I am trying to call you an idiot because I am not.

You could also go to any book stores nearby where you live and look for a book called "How To Draw Manga" they have a series of the books that teach you how to draw the body in which you need help on and also other sections you might lack.

It takes lots of practice...practice that I seem to be lacking. I also have trouble with the bodies but maybe that's just because I have no patience. I guess I'll make use of some of these tips as well.

And shapes? That sounds so simple it might work O__o

Hi All

Thanx for the tips, I am sure to use them for my next picture,
on a side note when I scan the faces I have drawn I will send them to you for feed-back!
