Aeki Rading manga is even better- you can acctually study each picture, and there is much more work put into the art 3nodding i agree |

If anything, I think trying to learn how to draw from anime will actually make you a worse artist than if you studied from life. You learn the style, but nothing else.
And learning style without structure is absolutely worthless. If you study the human figure from life and draw enough, you'll develop your own style. |

rstemshorn yeah, it wouldn't help me draw any better watching it, but it's still fun to watch ;D I definitely think it would help you draw better. By watching the characters on the screen, you are observing their general shape, ect. I've picked up TONS of influence from comics like VG Cats just by reading them. Whether you know it or not, you are becoming more attuned to the nuances of a style just by observing it. |

When I look at art, for 10 minutes to half an hour, and draw directly after, my drawings noticeably look better than when I just randomly decide to draw. If when you are watching the anime, you are looking at the way the artist did certain things, and if it is indeed anime that you are trying to draw, then I think it does help you improve, but perhaps only if you put what you've observed to the test before you forget. If you just watch it you won't improve, but watching before drawing might speed up the learning process. ...Just what I think. |

ilikemuggles If anything, I think trying to learn how to draw from anime will actually make you a worse artist than if you studied from life. You learn the style, but nothing else. And learning style without structure is absolutely worthless. If you study the human figure from life and draw enough, you'll develop your own style. This is my main issue. I don't want to necessarily draw anime..I don't care what style it fits into, as long as what I draw looks good. The problem is, all I can draw is anime, and it doesn't even necessarily look good. It looks best if I use references, which I hate doing because it just makes me feel like I am less capable, since I know the drawing would look worse without one. |
