I draw ok. I'm actually thinkin about doing my own manga. :D

nyrf!

Hardly! Pretty much because I'm playing guitar more nowadays. But keep on doing your thing!

Bah... I've been doing it for some years (3, almost 4 years) and I still think my manga art is 1/2 decent. But I'm drawing some manga stories dispite this, mainly for practice and a hobby.

I've got a long ways to go, but I may enter a Rising Star of Manga comp next year, if they have one.

No, to tell the truth I'll probably never be able to draw good enough on my own and claim that it's my own manga. I can draw ok with frontview of an anime character but not from angles. The only I'm good at would be drawing shoujo faces. -_-

yeah i guess so- but lacks technique and originality.. ^_^'

Yup. =D

yeah i guess...i like my style of drawing but is a problem ...i'm very lazy :S and i think of one idea of the manga, but after i get another..and another one...and i dont know how i pick lol ^^U

Yeah i can, infact i just started on one about a week ago. Untill yesterday it was just plainning and such. Still i don't have a full grasp on what i'm gonna do with the comic but aleast i'm doing something.

Maybe...I just need to learn a few things and how to make backgrounds.

many people say I can start but I say I need a lil more practice but at least I have done one oneshot!

hahaz... i draw for the fun of it... never really gave serious thought of creating my own manga, i'm terrible at creating stories anyway... all the best to those who want to create their own manga...

I'm decent in drawing but not as good. I wish I could draw like some of those manga artists but I'm going to need a lot of practice until I reach it. I've been drawing sketches and I've started some manga of my own. Even though my art is decent and a little rusty, it helps me practice and it's a hobby that I really enjoy. :)

I am good at drawing but I cant draw hands or feet T.T... I am also good at creating stories, but since I cant draw some parts of the body, I dont finish the "manga" I started ^^ so... I cant draw manga even if I want to T.T

hehe HELL NO. which is y i try and copy other peoples work caus i cant draw ne other poses than standing. Even then i cant draw the same character the same over and over. mad props to all those who can actually draw em yea.

I would say go for it since its worth trying to do. Im not a good artist or anything but its good to try

I think i draw good enough to please myself. and i have taken my work to other people and they've liked it but really depends on if you think it's good enough to make into a manga.

Well, personally, I feel that cultivating narrative or storytelling technique is more important to the creation of a manga than drawing ability. Being able to draw well isn't going to make a successful manga alone. (It definitely helps though!) A manga artist has to be skilled in both visual skills AND storytelling. (As a suggestion, it's a good idea to think of manga in terms of film. Watching and analyzing movies will help you learn how to compose scenes more interestingly in your manga.) That aside, I, too, have deeply ponder making my own manga. (Gee, can you tell? XD)

I agree, elledies. Nobody can create a good manga if they can only draw well.

yea, i culd if i wanted, but ill still practice my art for some years before i start 1 of my own, a few people have seen it, because im not willing to show just anyone, but from what iv been told, yea, 'they say im pretty awesome' seeing as i pretty much have the art down, all i need now is to come up with a good enough story and il b ready

practice practice is what i need..............

Umm, I think I'm a good artist, but I don't think I'd manage to pull off making a manga. Reason is, I lack the originality and time I s'pose. Maybe after a couple of more years of working hard, I could make a manga. .::shrugs::.

Erm,well I think my skills are quite good and I draw my own manga but due to the everchanging skills of mine,I was never able to keep the same characters look the same so I think a few more years of hard work will help..

umu... 2 be honest... i am a bad motherf------ when it comes 2 drawing males and cityscapes, houses, exterior, furniture--i suck. i only nature backgrounds and girls. X-O
