how to draw Anime-Style ?

[Tsubashi]

Thurosis-sama! You're back! We missed you!

Great Comic! I especially like "With whom am I talking?" ^__^

[Thurosis]

I missed you Tsubashi and everyone too ^^

Kami-Tux asked how Xp-tan can/could get out of the Monitor

Easy! Because the strange invention that i made (The Anime 3D Live Creator Device) if the thing got hit by this thing it is strechable ^^"

[C-Chan]

Gyaaaaaaaaaaah, that really does make her act a lot like Sakato.... ^^;

Anyway, you also said you wanted to continue.
Next art choice is yours, what particular thing would you be interested in trying out next?  If you recall, the last 3 chapters involved:

- Flat shading in Inkscape
- Simple Modeling in Inkscape
- Flat shading in Photoshop

Captain also promised a soft-shading in Photoshop tutorial, fyi.  -v-

Added after 2 minutes:

Oh, and just to be on the safe side,...
You've read this already, no?  ^^'

Cant' risk having you emo just cause you like to skip stuff.  ^___^;

[infinity_zero]

Good work for your cartoon. ^^

[zjhentohlauedy]

kekeke! lots of people want to eat c-chan. but who will succeed?

Welcome back thurosis! ;010

[Thurosis]

i would choose

- Simple Modeling in Inkscape (because we need that for the m-ova) ^^

i saw that ^^ so i will continue making this comic ! ^_^

[C-Chan]

Hehe,... actually, those were just recaps not choices.  ^^'

You can look at Chapter 2 here in case you missed it:

http://ostan-collections.net/post-18936.html#18936

But true, that chapter was about designing a simple abstract object in Inkscape, so I guess I should build on that by introducing step-by-step character modeling in Inkscape.  ^__^

You got it, then!  Chapter 4 will be posted within the next coming days!  ^__~

However, since you're not accustomed to the program yet, we should start with someone simpler than XP-tan.

By any chance, are you familiar with this particular munchkin?  ^__^

[NejinOniwa]

Hmm...Chiyo-chan, ne-ssu?

you right c-chan something simpler than xp-tan will/would be better ^^

but i don'T know how and why but i know i got a "deep" again!
I just can't get motivated to do something right now -.-

[95Direct]

I myself have been wanting to draw in anime/manga style. Insted of starting a new thread, I'd figure I use this thread insted .

Are there any tutorials on how to draw anime/manga style?

[Thurosis]

If you want to learn Anime-Cell-Style ask C-Chan he have a lot more experience than i have in that. (and he do this with inkscape)

But if you want to learn to draw manga, you can ask me for some ideas or tricks!

But don't ask me to teach you because everyone must find their own style!
(btw i'm bad at teaching... ^^")

[C-Chan]

Thank you Thurosis.  ^^

In any case, my dear 95Direct (cool Neptune avi, btw), this thread does contain a few walkthroughs on some rendering techniques, and was eventually going to detail the subject matter a little further.  But alas, time and Thurosis' fortunate "coming to his senses" has cut the tutorial series short, and I'm not particularly looking forward to restarting it unless I really really REALLY have to.  ^__^'
(not that I want to help, but I'm really pressed for time at the moment. -.-)

Fortunately, that is not a topic that is poorly documented... if you follow this walkthrough here, you should be able to learn the fundamentals of Anime Cel-shading without spending money on those "How to Draw..." books:

Remember, manga is inherently more detailed than anime-style, since Anime is meant exclusively for animation (hence, unless you have a HUGE budget, you as a producer would be crazy to animate the entire movie in manga-quality artwork... ^.^;).  That being said, a few questions right back at ya....

What would you like to draw, what experience do you have drawing (or sculpting, 3D editing, etc), and what medium are you interested in learning (pen on paper, or digital art programs)?

If i have the time i would do that even it would take years!!

But when i finished the training as a Hotel specialist (in 1 1/2 year) I will start to study at a University
(then I will have enough time to do the things that i want(ed)  ;010  (maybe then  ;010 )

I'd really love to draw a good *-Tan... I think it'll be difficult, but i'll try my best!!!

[C-Chan]

Not difficult at all if you have the right strategy.  ^__^
Any questions, please let us know. ^.^
