To begin this manga lessons set, I’d like to give a short introduction to this art form of Illustrating manga.
Manga was started from Japan. It is the static (comic book) cousin of anime, the animated version of manga.
The word “manga” literally translate to “bizarre pictures.” These absurd pictures makes for a terrific story telling resource.

Part of the reason manga art has become so fashionable among artists, even traditional figure Drawing artists, is that it permits for incredible creative expressions. It’s wild and whimsical style also makes for some ravishing art works.
It’saffects are felt in hit movies like Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away (2001) and even in movies based on Frank Miller’s work (the renounced author of “300″ and “Sin City”)
The sister form of manga, amine, has also become hugely popular around the world. These TV shows and movies and become very popular, especially among youth. It seems that it is nearly impossible to avoid some sort of reference to manga when you watch TV or go to the movies.
