In my first one shot manga, which took me a month to complete only the production part, as I didn’t understand perspective, I used 3D models of the backgrounds I needed, and while I eventually could finish it and feel like I did well overall, maybe the fact that I didn’t understand perspective well led to some perspective errors by myself. So now I've been learning perspective specially to improve the bodies I draw, and despite in my big manga project I'm still going to use 3D models for backgrounds in order to save time, now I feel like I'll do better next time, and hopefully faster.
@@RegularGuy101 Thanks for the interest! 😃 My big manga project is called Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Kokoro no Kagami, and it's a manga that I aim to publish so it gets an anime adaptation someday. It's about a girl called Hitomi, who has heterochromia but due to her past the public mustn't know about the nature of her eyes. One day a genetic research company called Nakatomi Labs performs an experiment that affects most of the girls living in the city including herself, gaining powers related to the eyes and the mind called Ophthalmos, but this company refuses to give the reasons behind the experiment. With the help of Ai, a woman that appears inside her eyes, she will find a way to make Nakatomi Labs confess why they did what they did and how it is related with her past.
@@RegularGuy101 And as for the one shot manga, it's called Mirror of the Soul, Otherwordly Gate, an Azur Lane themed manga starred by Ibuki from that game. I would love to share the link for this one but I'm not sure if this is the appropiate place to do so.
Quick tip that most will scoff at .... If your story is based on a place you can go to or can get photos of use to place everything... Like dont hard trace them that will look odd but make simple versions of everything and just drop your character in (assuming your doing digital) saves a ton of time
Backgrounds scares me as an artist because I barely draw the characters properly now adding backgrounds just made it more difficult, but this is really helpful!
Just wanted to say THANK YOU. this is the best channel for manga I have found yet . Just found you yesterday and I LOVE .Just what I was looking for, it your videos are super helpful and fun and easy to watch . So . THANK YOU! Keep it up !
If you want to make it easier, there’s a function on Clip Paint Studio that can easily generate these guidelines for you. 😊 Other drawing programs may have them too. You can just try to Google/research.
Im sure you hear this a lot but thank you for these awesome tips you post. With every tip, i feel i come a little closer to making the story idea inside my head a reality one day. And backgrounds are definitely an achilles heel for me that i am gonna try to work on.
A lot of modern manga uses photos and 3D nowadays and it saves a lot of time and looks just as good to if you know what your doing. The biggest mistake is leaving 3DS and photos as is with the built in filtering tools. Sure they're getting better but manual tracing and hatching/screentones is still needed to make it look more traditional.
I give this props I at first I thought it would be some tutorial about cheaping out by using blender and other 3D assets. Yet instead I was surprised to see a back to basics approach. People seem to focus on their OC's but forget that backgrounds are characters too! Each building, street, layout, tree, plant ,flower, cars, mountain is a character with it's own unique story and personality. It's a part of world building. Anyway good to see people using perspective and studying building blocks and actually drawing rather than tracing. Great video!
For perspective i also recommend to study object tilting. Use the same horizon but you tilt the vanishing point. Imagine a street with a lot of car parked on the side of the road, but there is one car moving out from the parking lane.
My process is that I first model and render backgrounds in Blender and then just trace them to make it fit my art style. That way I don't have to deal with perspective (unless I need to do foreshortening on the character itself).
the problem with backgrounds is that they can be either incredibly easy to make on one panel and ridiculously difficult and complex on another panel. Say a forest background is easy to make. while drawing an overview of a city can break your mind. You also have to be very organised if you work on digital projects because one mistake can take hours to fix or work around
@@aphlearntodrawmanga The problem, for me, is probably perspective and detail No matter how hard I try, my brain CANNOT place correct looking things where I want them to be
I started art seriously with the intent of doing environment concept art for games, especially backgrounds. This helped me so much with my understanding of perspective and drawing things aside from humans or animals and I especially love drawing+designing props or interiors! But I am having a hard time putting characters into scenes, they look very stiff but that might be because I have avoided getting better at dawing figures for a long time. Do you have any recommendations for drawing scenes with characters or ressources for that? I would appreciate a video too, though... :D I especially love the background techniques and images of Inio Asano, Kentarô Miura, Yana Toboso or Naoki Urasawa! Keep going
It’s great that you’re self-aware about your own weaknesses and you know what you need to work on. Keep practicing your backgrounds! 🙌 We also suggest checking out this video: #1 MISTAKE Beginner Mangakas Make (according to PRO Japanese Mangakas) ruclips.net/video/gQLZMmrXz9M/видео.html
I got 3/3 Also, this is why I started practicing perspective since a lot of my drawings are flat and 2D. I do believe that once you get a hang of perspective, drawing backgrounds won't be a pain. They'll actually be fun to draw. That's just me though
For the guessing of where the horizon line is, i got it right for the first two images but got it wrong for the last image !!😂 I didn't know that a horizon line could be outside the frame tho
I like that video most, but, I have some problem. Can you solve these, plz? 1. One point perspective is easy, but how can we use one point perspective in a single small panel of manga ( traditional artists) 2. We can use cubes for buildings. But how to draw different different buildings? 3. How to draw any background in Three point perspective? Last.... 4. How to draw backgrounds through of imagination? Plz tell my answers 😢😢😢😢😢🙏🏻😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My favorite mangaka Inoi Asano use real life picture (or game software unreal engine models) and edit it to look like manga background with filter and editing.
i am in 9th grade and i have been wanting to make a manga since 6th grade...i also practiced a liitle bit of art for a few months but i am still scared

Can you help? I struggle drawing grass, water and environment etc and how to draw architectures from imagination. By the way its the best video so far and so much understandable thanks for teaching us for free🧶

It gets less hard if we study hard and practice more.
