How do you draw a good original manga character?

Have you watched the anime series Naruto, db, dbz, dbgt, and ruroni kenshin? Think on those original characters and think how that will benefit for you. You know, combine all of them and think up a good character, describe his life, and whatever is about him. Hope this helped you.

Nah, don't listen to that guy...

Forget everything you have ever seen in manga, think of a character from the ground up. What time period does he live in? Where was he born? What kind of place did he grow up in? How does he deal with adversity? By the time you think of all these things in detail, you'll find you already know what he looks like. Now it's just time to draw him in manga style.

Drawing Manga

First Answer: Manga is a form of cariacture that evolved in Japan. Normally, they have big eyes, and spiky hair.

Second Answer:

The previous answer is true, but it's also a stereotype. Manga refers to Japanese comics; each country has its own variation of drawing styles because the people and cultures in each country are different. Japanese have strait hair, when drawn it may look 'spiky,' and large eyes are an archetype for cuteness.

The best way to learn how to draw in the manga style is to

look for sites online with tutorials (example: http://www.mangarevolution.com/tutorials.php),

read and examine the manga in a local book store,

go on online art websites (such as http://www.deviantart.com/ or http://www.ratemydrawings.com/topdrawings/manga/),

or you can read webcomics drawn in the manga style (some popular ones include: http://www.drowtales.com/index.php, http://www.megatokyo.com/, http://www.seraph-inn.com/, http://www.earthsongsaga.com/index.html).
