previous lesson: Inspiration

The Manga style enhances eyes overall but, in we can find "manga-touches" in different parts of the body. Those "manga-touches" are different depending on each arist and their Particular Manga Style (what many times is their Trademark); for example:

• Akira Toriyama:

• CLAMP:
  Clover
  Card Captor Sakura
  Link to Google search "CLAMP manga"

• Rumiko Takahashi:
  Ranma 1/2
  Inuyasha
  Yu Yu Hakusho

Just by calling their names, a particular manga style comes to our minds!: elaborated and big eyes, fluid hair, curved lines on bodies, male-like bodies, simple clothing, simple forms, elaborated poses and different kind of characters.... every style is like a different world itself. And that's really great, but all of them have in common that they belong to the 'mother' style: MANGA STYLE.

I won't be emphatic about Manga style History, wich is interesting by the way, but if you wanna know more about it I'll just give you some links:

• MANGA HISTORY LINK

So well friends, this is just a little introduction to Manga Style. I'll say again that in this very site I don't pretend to impose any particular manga style (in fact I've already said it in the Site's introduction, but is good to remember: all of you can create your own particular manga style!! )

Of course that professional and famous artist can influence you, but in the end you allways end up adding your touch to your pictures ;]

Piking up the previ9ous recomendations given in the previous tutorials (Basic steps and Inspiration) we should be ready to give our first ateps on Drawing Manga style...

Are you ready friends? Then here we go!!
