  • yeah the style is over exagerated, they have a few books on it a good one is drawing in the manga style, I found that getting a wooden drawing figure is helpful, but by far one of the best books is a book called dynamic figure drawing, are you having a problem with proportion or just in the poses? as far as the eyes and hair go, you say they all look the same, well in most japanese style comics they do all look alike thats why they use vibrant colors for hair color like green and purple, are you having trouble with hair styles? let me know exactly what the problems you are having and I will see if I can help, I actually went to school for art and story telling, and have a degree in art education. a good rule to remember when drawing the body is that a character is 8 heads tall. take the length of there head (top to chin) and stack them 8 one on top of the next and thats really close to propotion. hope that was helopful
  • The best way to up your skill is going to be becoming more comfortable with other forms of drawing (real life) If you are only drawing manga because you can't draw anything else, then you cant expect to get too good at it- but if you can work on other expressions of drawing it can only make your manga better.
