Manga

[Batosi]

I've bought a few books on how to draw manga cause i really love anime and want to learn how to draw it on my own. Just wondering if anyone else does it, tried it, or know someone that does or tried and are not of asian background.

[Ganga]

are not of asian background.

So what's wrong with asian? hu They too smart for you ?:mad:

[Sum Yung Guy]

Im white, and I have How to Draw Manga: Basics and own tons of anime. Im not very good at drawing yet, still learning

[Titusfied]

Asians being smart is just a stereotype. Some are smart, but not the the general consensus.... :(

[Ganga]

Lets just say that Asians' school are stricter.

[Titusfied]

I don't doubt that. Just like Chinese gymnists lives are owned pretty much when they come out of their mother's womb. :(

[Senesia]

Lets just say that Asians' school are stricter.

I like the schools to be stricter though.

[Titusfied]

Wait until college, assuming you don't take a gravy major, like Business or something along those lines.

[Senesia]

I am in College.... :(

[Titusfied]

Major?

[Senesia]

Fine, I mean I like the High School to be stricter.

(I'm going to switch to Science next year)
(Just realize you get the Master Level)

(Shouldn't we be talking about Manga? ^_^)

[Titusfied]

Oh, I knew you meant that you liked high schools to be stricter, I was just wondering what your major was in college?

Don't take offense if you are Business. I'm Power and Control Systems Engineering, which is very tough, and one of my roommates is a Business major. We know that it isn't easy, per say, but it is in no way, shape or form comparable to the material I've covered thus far. I'm literally in a math equivalent of like Calculus 9. 1 problem is anywhere from 1-4 pages in length. Kinda crazy, but I'm used to it now... :(

EDIT: I don't even know what "Manga" is... :(

[Senesia]

It is similar to Information Technology, but not exactly. It turns out to be not what...the type of stuff I like.

[Ganga]

hehe, Manga It's like my sig or like senesia's sig. Oo senesia you got 2k posts.

[Titusfied]

What science are you picking up on then? Are you at least able to transfer some credits over?

[Senesia]

Chem, and Bio.
I can transfer Calc, Math, English over, I think. I sent the credit transferring request...the school is slow.

[Titusfied]

Gotcha, well, good luck, hope you like those better.

[Batosi]

Ummm....i initially started this post to be about manga. lol. and no i have nothing against asians. I just was curious to see what other people had done other than the people that origonated and are probably pretty good at drawing it. I'd like to develope some anime skills cause most american drawing sucks (except for good comic book illustrators like Stan Lee).

[Senesia]

Actually I don't think the Americans' drawing sucks, it is just a different style. While the drawing in Anime/Manga are cute/pretty (in most eyes), they are not as realistic.

[Eddie_Perez]

Nope not realistic at all, I dont like it. And the only reason is because I find japanese anime shows and stuff like that compleatly dumb. So I that just made me hate the whole thing all together...

[Batosi]

I think Anime is much more detailed and dynamic then most American animation. Sure its not as realistic but I think when it comes to Animation the more of a fantasy world the better. For me i watch anime to escape and relax from reality. I dont know maybe its just me.
