This is a beginners guide to every equipment needed to start drawing manga right away!</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><br /> <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">&nbsp; 1. First thing first of course, you will need some paper (no surprises there) but not those A4 Reflex printing paper. I will suggest you buy a <i>Visual Diary</i> such as the one below because it has good quality, it is thick (which ensures that you did not trace the manga/anime) and of course you do not need to buy a folder to put your work in as it is a binder book already (so that you won't loose your hard work). But this is completely up to you as the price of an A4 Visual Diary may be a bit expensive.</div><br /> <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jDfFqzT_0hA/SVdotCuEsYI/AAAAAAAAAPE/1UDrvEbWm5w/s1600-h/visual-diary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jDfFqzT_0hA/SVdotCuEsYI/AAAAAAAAAPE/1UDrvEbWm5w/s200/visual-diary.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;&nbsp; 2. The next most important piece of equipment is the Pencil/Mechanical Pencil with the 2B lead. It is not essential but it is good to have a set of pencils ranging from H~6B for better shading.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jDfFqzT_0hA/SVdot8HeZhI/AAAAAAAAAPM/ZWluyglEy1o/s1600-h/pencil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jDfFqzT_0hA/SVdot8HeZhI/AAAAAAAAAPM/ZWluyglEy1o/s200/pencil.jpg" /></a><br /> <br /> <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &nbsp; 3. A good eraser is vital to drawing as some cheap rubbers may smudge or even wear away paper damaging the look of your art. Therefor i suggest you through away those erasers which keep on smudge on paper and buy a good quality one such as: Faber-Castell,<span style="font-size: small;">Mitsubishi Boxy (recommended) and more.</span></div><br /> <div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"></div><br><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jDfFqzT_0hA/SVdovM4TQ2I/AAAAAAAAAPU/ZCEcxImqD6c/s1600-h/mitsubishi_ep-60bx.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jDfFqzT_0hA/SVdovM4TQ2I/AAAAAAAAAPU/ZCEcxImqD6c/s200/mitsubishi_ep-60bx.jpg" /></a></br><br /> <br /> <br>For the time being as Beginners you're good to go! What's needed now is motivation, time, patience, and practice!</br><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6225216466570944055-2114829398116493058?l=how2drawmanga.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HowToDrawManga/~4/hF8D-P--jWg" height="1" width="1"/>m.zhangnoreply@blogger.com0http://how2drawmanga.blogspot.com/2008/12/beginners-equipment-guide-to-manga_28.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6225216466570944055.post-87910469825276336582008-12-27T23:20:00.000-08:002008-12-27T23:50:13.354-08:002008-12-27T23:50:13.354-08:00<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is essential for How2DrawManga readers to subscribe to this blog as you will receive latest updates and alerts by E-mail!<br /> <br /> <br /> Advantages:<br /> &gt;Allows you to know instantly if the blog is updated<br /> &gt;No need to check the blog everyday for updates/latest posts<br /> <br /> Disadvantages:<br /> &gt;Takes about 1 minute to subscribe (wait a minute...I think that's an advantage)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Just take the following easy steps to Subscribe NOW!<br /> <br /> Step 1) Click on either subscribe to post/comment on the top-right corner</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284738999067848914" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jDfFqzT_0hA/SVcqHrIXsNI/AAAAAAAAAOc/wWliKLBjyNY/s400/subscribe.jpg" style="display: block; height: 39px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /><img />&nbsp;</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /> Step 2) You will enter a new page and click on <i>"Get How To Draw Manga delivered by email"</i><br /> <i>&nbsp;</i> </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284739666358974594" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jDfFqzT_0hA/SVcqug--OII/AAAAAAAAAOk/LxtKgRb6x9A/s400/subscribe2.jpg" style="display: block; height: 278px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /><br /> Step 3) In the pop up, enter your E-mail address so that you can be notified immediately if a new article/tutorial has been posted</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And your DONE!
