Many aspiring artists worry too much about art supplies. There almost seems to be the belief that buying the right stuff is the single most important key to creating great art, but thats like thinking youll be able to swim as fast as Olympic gold medalists do by wearing the right swimsuit. It doesnt work that way.
What really matters is not the pencil but the brain of the person holding it. Experiment to find the size, styles and brands you like best. If it feels right to you, thats all that matters.
I almost want to cry when I see that someone has put hours and hours of work into a drawing on a piece of loose-leaf notebook paper. Do yourself a favor and get a pad of smooth bristol. Its thick and sturdy, and can hold up to repeated erasing.
Pencils come down to personal preference. Perfect for me may be too hard or soft for you. I like a simple no. 2 pencil like the sort we all grew up with, but there are pencils of all kinds of hardness and quality. Try some out to see what kind of marks they make. The softer the lead, the more it may smear.
Get a good permanent-ink pen at an art store, one that wont fade or bleed over time. Dont confine yourself to super-fine tips. Have a variety of pens with different tip widths for the various lines you need.
Get yourself a nice, clear plastic ruler so that you can see the art as you make lines. A 15-inch (38cm) ruler is good for even some of the longest lines.
These big soft erasers, available in art stores, are great for erasing huge areas without leaving tons of pink dust behind. However, they arent always precise, so feel free to use them in combination with a regular pencil eraser.
Ive come to prefer a simple hand-held disposable sharpener over an electric one. Youll get the best use out of it while the blade is perfectly sharp.
Lets get started with a warm-up exercise. Heres a step-by-step demonstration that will get you used to the process well be using. Eyes are a great place to begin drawing as they are key to the characters, simple yet even if youve never drawn before.
bristol board
clear plastic ruler
kneaded eraser
no. 2 pencil
pencil sharpener
pens in a variety of tip thicknesses
Pencil in two horizontal lines 1 inch (25mm) apart. Connect them with four vertical lines, each an equal distance apart. The three shapes that result should be slightly taller than they are wide.
Draw the eyebrows, and upper and lower lash lines. The angle of each line tilts up slightly toward the center of the drawing. The upper eyelashes curves are more pronounced. Your guidelines help get the proper distances for the lash lines, but for the eyebrows you need to use your judgment to get the correct space between each line and the lash lines below.
Add the iris of each eye, leaving a small white circle at the top for the highlight.
Place an oval behind the highlight within each iris. Add a smaller loop within each of those ovals to indicate the pupils. Extra credit if you replicate the slight flattening of the bottom of the ovals as they near the lower eyelashes. Add two curving lines above each eye for the eyelid folds.
Use your pen of choice to ink. If youve been careful, you now know exactly where to put the heavy black lines.
Once the ink dries, erase all the pencilled guidelines.
The pencil lines in the step-by-step lessons of this book appear darker for clarity, but youll want to keep them quite light in your own drawings. Pencil lines need to be erased after inking.
Note that each head has as its base a circle at the top with intersecting lines in it. This is a great starting point because its the same every time. The dead center of a circle doesnt change. Once I have the circle, I add intersecting lines. The rest of the face can be built once you see where the lines should fall to produce the type of face you want.
This face falls so close to true human anatomy it almost doesnt qualify as manga. On a real human face, the eyes are much smaller, and the nose and mouth far more prominent. The ears are at the same level as the eyes.
This facial construction is what you might see in boys action-oriented manga. The eyes get bigger, and the nose and mouth become less detailed. However, the distance between the eyes and the tip of the nose is still pretty close to real anatomy.
