Drawing a line may sound like a basic skill, but it can make a difference in the quality of your illustrations.

●Mastering the basics will help you draw manga characters!
Once you complete all basic exercises, you will find worksheets with parts of manga characters, such as the outline, eyes, hairstyles and more. Once again you will start by tracing the guides and then proceed to draw yourself. At the end, you will draw a full-body illustration of a character.
