First of all, unlike publishers who might simply be tapping into the “how to draw manga” market because it’s popular right now, we really care about anime and manga and want to present truly useful information and insights to our readers.

We will be approaching anime/manga drawing techniques from a working professional’s viewpoint, but providing information and exercises for both novices and intermediate level artists that will help develop and improve their skills.

In addition to providing quality examples, we’ll mention various anime and manga by name so that the reader can refer to them for additional real-world examples of the concepts and techniques being discussed

The goals of this site include the following:

• Teach in-depth, step-by-step, real-world techniques for drawing in the anime/manga style
• Offer interaction with working professionals in the art and anime fields
• Focus on information and insight that is difficult to find in English
• Provide a solid reference of Japanese industry terms for anime/manga materials and techniques
• Make use of video and animation to show how artists create a sketch and develop it into finished artwork.
• Bring attention to common mistakes made when learning to draw and how to correct them
• Provide unique and interesting exclusive goods and content
• Have fun!
