Step 2
Next, draw the facial features. like the eyes, nose and mouth
Step 3
Now you must draw the face shape. You can rub out the bottom part of the circle now
Step 4
Now time for the hair! slap in some ears and do the fringey part of the hair before the top bit.
Step 5
Draw the top part of the hair but make sure theres a gap between it and the original circle seeing
as your hair isnt totally flat. Add in a neck and the hair under under the ears. keep in mind this
depends on the hair cut of your character..
Step 6
Now all that's left is to rub out any random lines that aren't wanted. And there we have it! a manga
face!

Step 1
First you need to pick a reference picture. Make sure to pick something that interests you so you
don't get bored while drawing it.
Step 2
-Haha. xP It looks so funny.- Next, just do a realllyy rough sketch. Don't spend too long on it. I
used the pen tool, but you can pretty much use anything you want.
Step 3
Add a new layer. On this layer do a more clean sketch. You can do it in color or just black again.
It's not going to be the final lineart. Again, I used the pen tool, but you can use anything you want.
Step 4
Add a new layer. On this layer you do the skin. First, I just did a light yellow fill with the pen tool.
Then, I used the airbrush for the pink shadows and the blend tool to make it smooth. Then, back
to pen tool for the lineart. Last, just add the nose and mouth.
Step 5
Add a new layer. On this layer do the clothes. Do it pretty much just like the skin. Do the main
color fill with pen, shadows and highlights with airbrush, blend where neccessary, and back to
pen for the outline.
Step 6
Add a new layer. Here I just did a quick sketch for the eyes since I didn't do it above.
Step 7
Add a new layer. Here do the actual eyes. I used pen tool for all of it.
Step 8
Add a new layer. Do the hair. This was the hardest part for me, definitely. I just did the light blue
fill and then did the shadows. All with pen tool. Then used the blend tool where neccessary.
Step 9
New Layer. Eybrows. ^^ Self explanatory.
Step 10
New layer. Add the highlight. For the highlight I used white and made the layer on low opacity.
Maybe add a border and signature. Then you are finished. :)

Step 3
Get the colors from your reference picture ( I use the eyedropper tool on Paint).
Step 4
Always start with you background first. Disregard the areas where the character will obscure the
background.
Shades of blue done with spraypaint.
Clouds done with line tool.
Shadows in clouds done with fill tool at 12.
Step 5
Add lines.
Try to use the undo button to get rid of your mistakes, instead of covering them up. It saves a lot
of ink.
Step 6
Color first. Draw what will be covered, like a 1st layer.
Step 7
Draw the face and the shadows the hair makes.
Step 8
Draw the hair.
Step 9
Add whatever else is in the picture. In this case, his guns, hands, and rings.
Step 10
Add lines...
Step 11
And you're done!
