Hello everyone! My name is Josh and I am 15 years old. I just recently fell in love with anime like three days ago so, yeah.... I'm a newb XD I am trying to learn how to draw manga but it really isn't working out so well well besides that, I am glad I found this place.

Hi : D!

Welcome~~
look ups some tuts and post some art then people can show you pointers and stuff... :>

Oh believe me my drawings is nowhere near good enough to post it to this website.... I would get so embarrassed lol. I mean honestly, I don't even know how to get the face shape right.... :p i know pretty pathetic huh lol

hahaha everyone needs to start somewhere right?
No one is born with talent, they make it themself : D

Well look up tuts, practice hard and then post... i'm not gonna force ya
people are nice here, i post silly stuff (i should be more serieous OTL )

Another Josh?

tsk, no.

-stabs other Josh-

Welcome to Mt. As for the basic shape of the body, I would say to work on drawing shapes like spheres, cubes, that sort of stuff. Anatomy would also be advisable.

lol i don't see anything wrong with being silly Byakuran XD and yes there is another Josh, and that's me.... so if you don't like it Josh, you can change your name XD lol jk. And thanks brain, appreciate it

I think you should get Olimar as your avatar. What do you think? ;p

Anyways, welcome to the site! And wow, you really are new into the whole anime and manga thing huh? What got you into it, may I ask?

Well one of my friends is a diehard fan of anime and i never really understood why. i kept saying, "what's so great about anime?" she then sent me a show called Shakugan no Shana then before i knew it, I fell in love with that show and anime lol. & she also made me realize that without me even knowing, I have always loved anime. for example, my favorite game series is harvest moon and that series is really anime. favorite TV show is Pokemon (now shakugan no shana lol) and pokemon is really anime. But i don't really know, it kind of snuck up on me and now its growing really fast :p lol Thanks for the warm welcome though

It's great being new to anime and manga, as far as improvement goes there's really nowhere to go but up.
So many Joshes..... O_o

I got a couple questions. 1) Does anyone have any drawing tips for me? i try over and over and over again and i still cant get the face to look right.... 2) I seen people post there drawings on this site. how in the world do they do that!?!?!?!?!?!?! I mean, was it on normal paper before? how did they get it on the pc?!

1) When drawing faces, it's best to use guidelines until you're comfortable enough to begin not using them. Guidelines help place and space parts of the face such as the eyes, nose, and so on. Did you check out the anatomy tutorials at the main site?

As for number 2...
There are three ways to get drawings online. The first way to to use a scanner to scan physical drawings. The other is to take a digital photo of it. The last is to draw directly on a graphic software program like Photoshop, GIMP, MS Paint, and so on. Either one of these will work though a scanner is better than taking a digital photo.

From there, all you have to do is save it in a site like imageshack and post the url like this:
...and you've just posted your artwork!
