After watching Heroes I thought I would quite like to be able to draw like Isaac's character (although obviously without the predicting the future bit)
For those who don’t watch Heroes Isaac draws/paints/sketches in a comic book / manga style.
I know that there are just some people who have a natural aptitude for it but I have never really tried to draw anything and want to get started on the basics and see if I am any good. My grandfather was a very talented artist; maybe I have some of his talent? I would just like to give it a go.
Does anyone know of any good books (or if you live in Surrey, UK do you know of any good local courses)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Barnes and Noble has a nice art section featuring many books on how to draw Manga. They start from easy, and then work there way up to the really hard stuff. I don't know if they have Barnes in the UK, but try their website

Take art courses at your local college. Once you learn more about art and drawing you will also no longer be as impressed by manga. Otherwise, buy cheap copy paper and copy the manga pictures you like.

Forbidden Planet (a.k.a Another World) U.K have a book that shows you how. Maybe get it from Amazon though...bet it's cheaper.

You would know by now. BUT it's never too late to find out. Try your local evening classes.

Cartoonist Christopher Hart's site is a good start, and his books are terrific

Practice, practice, practice. And develop your OWN style. Don't rip off someone elses!
