Hey i was wondering if anyone could recommend a book the might have used to learn how to draw anime. I'd love to learn the techniques, and i want to buy a book, but i figure somebody here at the best anime site on the net can probably direct me to the better books out there. Thanks.

mmm, i don't know about books... but I can give you a link to a free web tutorial. When I started to learn how to draw, this tutorial help me a lot!!!.

I hope it works for you!!

instead of a book, i recommend tracing other people's work first. after you get the feel of the structure and porportion of the head, body, etc, you should be able to create something of your own style ^_^

Acually, I would recomend drawing from life rather than trasing Instead of creating your own style, you would end up with their style of art, unless you want to go for that. Good luck to you on your art!

Practice practice practice practice practice practice. No one book or site is going to make you draw like a master. You must love to draw and perfect your craft daily. Slowly but surely you will get better. Don't give up and don't let up the love!

I learned out of copying and modifiying, then after a year or so i became addicted to books ^_^
