An experimental game.
The rules are as follows:
One person posts details, quotes, etc. from another person, without revealing who they are.
Two details at least MUST be provided (ie, one quote, one detail, etc.).
After that, people must guess who it is. Whoever gets it right gets to start the next round. If they fail to do so within 72 hours, then the person who led the last round may go, and so on. If nobody guesses, then the person adds more clues. YOU CANNOT GUESS YOURSELF!
No inappropriate details, etc.
I'll start.
Indeed, "how to draw manga" -books are often very misleading, because once again, they show the style of one, usually very mainstream manga artist. Learning from one-two such books is practically the same as copying other person's style and then calling it your own (though the mainstream western manga is basically just that). Therefore it's best to try to learn from as many different sources (if you want to draw exactly manga; overall, the best thing would of course be learning real anatomy and realistic style, which you could then use to create your own style of art), that'd teach you different way to approach things, and also give perspective to the style aswell.
My friend who started as a pretty untalented mainstream-"manga"-drawer had a pretty interesting way to learn drawing anatomically perfect people. In addition to just studying anatomy hard and drawing all the time, he started to form sort of a 'skeleton' that he used as a basis for every person he drew. That's quite usual thing to do, but it was very amusing to watch how the base skeleton evolved as he learned more; so he basically changed the outlook of this skeleton every time he noticed there's something anatomically wrong, and little by little he learned the relations and anatomics so well that he didn't need the skeleton anymore. Oh weh, why did I say this?
