Hello everyone! I'm finally getting around to getting some stuff done after the holiday chaos and it's time to draw some Manga!

One of the most important things to know about drawing is that everything is made up of shapes. We all know that stick people are made up of a circle and some lines. Drawing realistic people is just a step away from that. Now obviously people aren't made of circles and squares, but every part of a person starts with a shape. For instance your arm. Your arm has two main parts and it has a hand attached to it. The two main parts of your arm an be drawn with ovals that overlap each other slightly, the palm of your hand is a circle, and you fingers are made of many ovals also. Drawing the basic shape of an entire person is just finding out what body part looks like what shape and adding the shapes together.

However, it's often easier said than done even if it's drawn out on front of you...

The next step in drawing is blending those shapes together to form a body, but I'll be saving that for another day. Remember practice makes perfect, and thanks for reading!
