My local hobby lobby had advertisements for monthly "manga drawing tutorial" classes with examples from the instructor that were of roughly this quality.
I can just imagine the spergs that would convince their parents to spend their money on this shit.

I really want to start drawing animoo. How do I start drawfags?

>>121944130
Start drawing normal humans first.
>>121944130YoudrawAnd git gud. That's it.
Do it every day, you'll get better.
At least these books are honest about what your drawings will end up looking at.
>>121944130
What >>121944170 said. You need a strong foundation based on reality if you really want to know what you're doing.
Once you've got that, you can do whatever the fuck you want.

Dat essential tremor feel
I remember reading this "how to draw manga" book in the early 2000s. It was so dated compared to the style of the time, but it was actually pretty cool. It also gave my middle school-self boners in a couple of the sections.
>>121944815
out of curiosity, did it mention tezuka?
anyways, I can't imagine that someone who has the slightest clue about manga would be okay with that cover art.
>>121943231
I bought this at a school book fair back when I was in like middle school.
I'm 28 now so that gives you an idea how old this shit is. I also took an art class in school and had to turn in a 'friday sketch' so I would just trace shit from a random page of Newtype magazine and turn it in and would always get perfect credit.
>>121945046

>>121943608
Same. I drew the "chibis" from it and showed it to my friends in elementary school. My fucking school sold me this shit at a book fair.
>>121945131
How could they confuse manga to mean Japanese comics instead of Nigerian shadow puppets? I'm shocked.

>>121945131
That's the literal definition of manga you twat.
>>121945131
Manga are comics
You know, at least they show on par with what you'd be expected to draw after a week or two of effort.
It doesn't get peoples' hopes up too high.
>>121944618
Arina Tanemura has the prettiest art. Even if she draws sameface bugeyed stick insects, I love it. Pretty details and colors. Read her soap opera shoujoshit just for the artwork. Think I have her artbook downloaded somewhere actually.
What's wrong with it? Stupid fucking weaboos will buy anything. Not greenlighting it would be like throwing away shekels.
So how many of you faggots bought this at your middeschool book fair along with captain underpants?
>>121945404
>Captain Underpants
I bought book of the Deltora series.
>>121945404
How's the last couple books in Captain Underpants? I stopped reading years ago after he took that hiatus that would make Miura blush.
>>121945367
>Stupid fucking weaboos will buy anything
implying weeaboos would buy this, it's clearly aimed at parents who have no fucking clue what manga is. It's a scam, just like those asylum rip offs your grandma will buy.

I can even understand why this is made, kids make their parents buy stupid shit all the time, there's a whole industry based on it.
But why, and I mean WHY, would someone do basically the same thing aimed at people over 18 like pic related. That's the true mistery to me.
Don't even mention how the fuck do they turn a profit on it.
>>121946244
So basically there's people out there publishing books, working hard and pursuing their dreams, while a raving pack of /a/utistic faggots sits around talking shit about them?
Never would have guessed.

>>121946453

What's really stupid, but genius in its idea, are those Minecraft novels sold in stores. The genius part is that it's not some autistic preteen writing it but a middle aged man who can manipulate children to a T.

It's autistic as fuck, like they are trying to teach to 11yo.
Anyone who's past middle school should be annoyed to read something like it.
Not to mention that if you're trying to learn calculus and the such, you should read an actual fucking book, like a non-autistic person would.
Well, if a middle schooler is actually trying to learn calculus, then hats off to him.

I always thought that we westerners couldn't draw decent manga (usually) mostly because of our oversimplistic alphabet not giving us enough visual motor skills almost since birth.
Is there more to it or am I completely wrong and 'nippon is the masterrace, filthy gaijis go home'?
>>121948712
oh look, it's the uguu thing from card captor sakura and / or kamikaze jane. do those artist have no fucking shame?

I got a how to draw manga book from a store in the Japanese part of EPCOT. It was really technical and covered shit like placing screen-tones and whatnot. It seemed like it was translated from Japanese too. If I remember right, it was written by the guy who did "great teacher onizuka" and some other dude who did a fishing manga.

>>121948997
Searching for this
The worst part of these types of shitty how to draw books is that they don't even teach you anything other than maybe how to draw the specific exact thing as the guy who wrote it. It never has any general information about technique or anything which can by applied to original work, just like "step one, draw this circle. Step two, attach a square and two more circles. Step 3 holy shit now it has legs and arms and hair and clothes somehow. Step 4 add a face and now you have this one picture of naruto or some shit." The type of person who needs a drawing book like that can't just figure out how to get from the 3 circles stage to a full drawing without just tracing it.
>>121943231
The kind that likes money.

If you /a/nons didn't take Calculus back in high school, the time is now!!!
Learning hard math (it's not that it's "hard", that's just what it's called) while being calmed by the moe aesthetics makes learning calculus painless!

I hope they do re-release to keep it fresh.
The art is starting to look dated (it reeks 2000s Azumanga Daioh) and not moe enough for this and upcoming decade.

I actually draw little anime characters in my notes when I make special notes such as things not mentioned specifically in lecture that are important. Or when I feel something is important to know, I'll put it in a cute girl's chat bubble.
While I'm not artist, it adds some cuteness and enjoyment to my notes and I've had many bitches lust after them.
