Alright, if anyone has been wanting to know how to draw anime

___________________________________________
The Layout
-------------------------------------------------

This is how you will layout your character. Basic circles and lines.

Now, Your figures head is used to make everything else in proportion. Without Making your guy proportional. He will look like crap. look below for proportions.

Chest, 1 head wide.(horizontal)

Arm, 1 head tall, starts at the top of the shoulder, to the top elbow.

Forearm, 1 head tall, starts at the top of the elbow, to the top of the hand.

Hands, 1/2 head tall.

Chest down to crotch, about 2 heads tall.

Thigh, 1 1/2 heads tall.

Shin, 1 1/2 heads tall.

Feet, About 1 head long.

__________________________________________________ _
Construction your character
----------------------------------------------------------

Add Some Circles and lines in, These lines are called construction lines.

Note The circles i put on the shoulders, Forearms, and Calves.

All i did was darken the shoulder circles from the layout.
For the forearms, i put a circle there to make it easier to draw the muscle,
same for the calve.

I also used a circle for the heel, to give the foot a better shape.

Look at the chest, i put in a cross type shape to define the muscles in that area. And i added in hands.

When your drawing hands, draw the fingers as rectangles at first, untill you get the hang of it. Then go over it with better detail.

Outline Him!

Make a outline of the character, start to define the muscles in the arms and legs. Basically all your doing here is outlining your construction lines.

__________________________________________________ ____
Add a little detail
--------------------------------------------------------------

Add muscle detail, Add in a collar bone. Draw in the face, and hair.

If your having trouble with arms, look at your own arm in the mirror, to figure out its shape.

__________________________________________________ ____
Clothes!
--------------------------------------------------------------

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h102/animeaid/5tut.png

put some clothes on him. He will look better if you add some creases in the clothes.

__________________________________________________ ____
Color him or shade him

Your Finished!!!!!!!

Lmao, did you somehow take this from one of those "teach yourself how to draw beautiful male manga books" ? ^_^

Your anime basics are so off, try reading more.
You included nothing about eyes, mouth, nose, hair, basically head features. The fingers/toes aren't even included. The body and atnatomy is like he came out of a streaching torture machine ripping his arms and legs to tramendous lengths. And work on your clothing. They are skin tight cotten he is wearing.

Why do people that can't draw this for shit make tutorials on it? From what I've seen Miphisto is in only person on this forum that can draw anime.
