How to Draw Manga Tutorials --> Drawing Basics --> Introduction: So You Want To Draw Manga Style?
I would put up what Rio wrote but there is a lot, and ypu probably dont care. But it just tells you about what the tutorials are for and the types of manga style...
SHOUNEN — Boy’s manga, usually action/adventure, are aimed at boys 8-18 years old.
SHOUJO — Girls’ manga are usually story-driven, less action-oriented, and romantic. Shoujo style manga is usually geared toward female readers ages 12-18.
SEINEN — Seinen manga are series aimed at male readers ages 18-30.
JOSEI — Womens comics aimed at young working women and housewives from ages 21-30. HENTAI — Literally “pervert” manga.
JIDAIGEKI — Historical manga, usually action-packed, and battle-oriented.
MECHA — Mecha manga refers to the “Giant Robot” They are usually action-oriented with big fights, lots of explosions, and tend to have some kind of “save the world” angle.
BISHOUJO — A very popular manga style, full of cute girls and/or funny animals.
BISHONEN — “Beautiful boy” stories — aimed at teenage girls, and featuring very pretty, almost effeminate looking heroes.
SHOUJO-AI — Literally means “girl’s love” and covers female-female relationships, usually on a romantical level (aka Yuri).
SHONEN-AI — Literally means “boy’s love”, with story covering male-male relationships, usually on a romantical level (aka Yaoi).
KODOMO — children’s manga, aimed at 6-10 year olds, an offshoot of Bishoujo, shounen, or shoujo styles. *(all credit to this goes to Rio, who wrote seems to be the person who wrote the tutorial)

How to Draw Manga Tutorials --> Drawing Basics --> The Path Of An Artist
Saying that dont jusmp the gun and stuff, This here is a very good indicator that if you can copy-draw a picture almost like the original, you’re ready to move on.
From this stage is several paths you can take.
The first path is not to move on anymore- happily content with just copy-drawing pictures. (What a waste, IMO!) (I think i can try that...)
The secondyou made up yourself, not by looking at a drawn picture as a source. (um...)
The third is just about drawing your own characters. (tryed, and tryed....)
ok well ill try the first today (8 november)
the second (9 november)
The third (10 Nov)
Start the next part and put up my art (11 Nov, which is a Thursday..)
Hope it turns out ok!
