How to be a manga artist

[IshiharaNiaoka]

Pls any YouTubers or any tips I can follow. Because I feel I'm doing something wrong.

Like gosh japanese manga artist are one of the best of seen, followed by Korean. And most who draw these mangas are mostly young around 20-40. Do they draw by themselves? Or they gain help because I can't help but adore their art. Especially this manga I saw.

It is my dream to draw like this one day for my novels. I need to know what courses they take to learn all these forms of art. Because it's rare to see japensebart courses that covers everything that needs to be on a manga. Especially fight scenes.

It's the same as writing, the more you draw, the more you will get better at it.
I don't really know about it, so I won't be of any help to you. I've found one youtuber that you can try looking at, the name is Draw like a Sir.

Maybe what you can do is drawing some scene of a manga you like or if you want to diversified it, try drawing character design from different manga. (Bleach, magi or even manwha, manhua...)

I must know
I shall make my own manga one-day! Paying someone is too expensive. I ain't rich

 

[RepresentingWrath]

I must know

You should draw each and every day for at least 4-6 hours a day for more than 5 years in a row. That's how you become an amateur manga artist, or comic artist, or webtoon artist, whatever you decide to draw.

There are a few channel that go in depth on what to expect as a manga artist.. I was very into it half a decade ago but I didn't find any practicality as a profession.. if your trying for a profession in this industry Definitely check out YouTube and others sources. Some go really in depth. Like panneling, layering , colours , Shadows, line art etc all that good stuff on YouTube.

Also, those who are getting paid for this have either assistants or it's whole studios drawing stuff.

I knew it. But I'm broke mate. So might as well do it myself. And I don't think a manga publishing company can accept my work because I live half a worl away from them.

It takes 10 years of dedicated learning to master anything, is a figure that's often thrown around. And from what I know, most manga artists have assistants, and both manga artists and assistants are woefully underpaid for how many hours they work.

Now, within this highly competitive and specialized field, you've been drawn to a certain artist because their manga speaks to you and stands out as the best to you, so they're probably a master at certain things.

If you wanna climb that mountain, you gotta draw a ton without drawing so much you hurt yourself.

I wouldn't recommend it if you only want it because you want art in your novel, and your novel is the thing you're really interested in, but if you're truly interested in creating visual art yourself, go for it. Start drawing a ton!

But if it's just a means to an end and you don't have any particular interest and/or skill in creating art so far, you'd probably be better off devoting your time to becoming really good in a more lucrative field, and making enough money that you can hire people to create the art you want.

Indeed. Thank you for the advice. I plan to choose art as my carrier in the university. I plan to do architecture, Robotics, and coding. So I was hoping the better I get an artist it could help me in achitecture. And architecture can help me get better at drawing back grounds. I love the idea of designing houses with unique style, with the aid of technology.

Okay, awesome!

Those are very good reasons to do Visual Arts.

Architecture should also help you with visual arts in understanding how 3d objects look in space, I'd imagine~

Most manga artists went to school for it, or apprenticed, usually both. Then afterwards, they keep on drawing, living in dormitories for artists and so on. They're essentially living art, that's why they improve so fast even if they're young. My guess is that most of their learnings are in apprenticeships, so I'm not sure where we can get materials on that.

 

[tiaf]

Doing apprenticeships is like the bootcamp of gaining and putting theoretical knowledge into practice. Why not start with the basics aka anatomy? (Unless you have a mindblowing plot that makes people overlook subpar art like attack on titan).

The art that you admire requires anatomy, perspective, and paneeling/layout knowhow. I see Proko on youtube being recommended by many people for anatomy.

As for typical manga hatching, there are a lot of how to draw books about that. But since you are broke, look on pinterest.
