Drawing Miki Falls

[tasblue]

Hello Mark, ever since I found out about you and Miki Falls I have been obsessed, printing some of your images out cos they look awesome! Told all my friends about you Going to buy all 4 of the Miki Falls books (asked my mum to get the 3 for Christmas) Ill buy Winter myself sometime.

But...what I came to speak to you about was drawing, I was trying to find out what style of drawing 'manga' was then I found out my friends at school liked it I was so shocked. Since that day I have been addicted to manga, but I'm not the best person for drawing it. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do to learn how to draw manga better? Because one day I would love to publish my own series of books like yours. Thanks

Hey tasblue, thanks for the post. And thanks in advance for getting the Miki Falls books; I appreciate the support and really hope you enjoy them.

All my advice about drawing manga will eventually be in my Youtube vids, but in the meantime I'd say just make sure you practice a lot every single day and do lots of studies/copies of work by artists you admire.

Thanks for getting in touch!

Thankyou Mark, I copied your male eyes from your latest video on youtube and 0.o i was shocked because usually i do my lines slowly, but this time i did them quick (like notes) later on I thickened the lines added detail...and the notes turned into my best drawing of eyes ever!!! Thankyou for all of your help Mark good luck with Miki Falls!
