How do I improve my skills when it comes to drawing manga?

Question

I'm a inspiring manga artist and draw alot I have several storylines that I find entertaining but when I draw they don't come out right. This causes me to stop and really hurts my courage. I feel like I don't improve and get discouraged I enjoy the art very good but there is just no improving.

Answer 1

I know how you feel, when you look at others art you feel kind of intimidated at how good they are and get discouraged.
Practice, I know you have probably heard this answer many times, but it really does work.
Don't try so hard and make sure you are not trying to draw like someone else, when you draw your own art the way you want to you will be surprised at how amazing you artwork will look like.

Answer 2

Draw for fun.

Draw everywhere. Draw all the time. Don't be discouraged when something comes out wrong. Practice drawing it 20 times over again, like a face or something. Notice what your doing wrong, if you have lots of copies and you have realized that there's one mistake in all of them, then practice on that.

Drawing IS hard. It's not supposed to be easy. Keep your drawings, and you WILL notice that your improving.

Realize that SOME people reach a limit of their abilities. That's ok, too.

Keep enjoying it!

Answer 3

practice practice practice, you'll only develop your skills if you use them constantly. get a bunch of sketch books and fill them up with as much as possible. old sketch books are always great resouces. get comics and just copy what you see. it can help you get used to the style of drawing. and maybe you can start developing your own characters.

good luck and try not to get discouraged...
