A Question ?

What is manga ?

Many of you would wonder what the hell is this manga? Is it those fancy Japanese cartoons or is those those big eyed dudes and beautiful girls? Manga is none of these still all of these....... Confused, eh?

Manga is a form of art originated in Japan. Manga is basically a comic, or to be more precise a Japanese  comic. We do not learn how to draw manga but how to draw the components of a manga- The characters, faces, eyes, etc. But for the sake of convenience we say 'we want to learn to draw manga' . 

Drawing is a journey, Every drawing is a journey whose Final destination is same which is different for everyone. Manga is just a path which one can take to reach that destination.

Simple as that, huh?

EYES TUTORIAL PART 2-HOW TO DRAW

EYES (FEMALE)

HEROINE TYPE FEMALE EYE

BASIC SHAPE OF FEMALE EYE

• In the above figure There is a heroine type female eye Because this eye reflects beauty and softness which is the main feature of female heroine eyes. Drawing a female eye is much more complicated then a male eye because female's eyes are more watery and their eyelashes are longer.
• The basic shape of a female eye is also a hexagon but larger as shown in figure above, So the first step to draw a eye is to draw a hexagon.
• In next step you draw the iris. The iris of female is much more complicated than that of male. The iris of female covers the whole eye, So the shape of iris is as same as of shape of the eye. 
• The trick to make girl eyes more beautiful is to make more watery. You can see above that in the iris a larger portion is left white. And once again the rest of the eye depends on your creativity. But the point to note is : The eye lashes of girl eyes are longer, The Eyebrows of girl eye is thinner and short, The eyes of female are much larger than of males.

• In step 2 the difference is between the jaw. Here you can see that jaw is not made of two sharp lines but a single curve. A curve is used to make the jaw of female to show softness instead of muscularity. You can also see that this time the chin is a single point K (not like in male where chin is a line) to again show softness.
• The ears are placed at same place as in males, There is no difference. However there is a major difference in neck, You can see in female the neck is long and thin. This is to show beauty and softness.
