I agree with everything in this video, but a word on tracing, I will say that as long as you are not passing it as your work, tracing can be very informative, when I was first learning how to draw as a kid way back in the '80s, I would do exactly what this video suggested and draw from my favorite comic books (we didn't have manga widely available yet) and it got me to put pencil to paper and I would draw and draw and draw with some improvement here and there, but one day I got my hands on some tracing paper and started to trace a character and all of a sudden all of the things I wasn't seeing when just referencing started to fall into place, certain shapes, anatomy sizes, line quality, and when it came to the artist who were more stylistic like mangaka I didn't realize how afraid I was to draw in such an exaggerated way, it took me beyond my boundaries and my regular drawing improved a lot after that. Just wanted to put that out from my own experiences. Great video by the way!😊

Master studies are valuable. Many have done it. Kentaro Miura’s Berserk is like a mash of Go Nagai’s Devilman, Fist of the North Star, and the horror movie Hellraiser (Godhand=Cenobites). The late great Akira Toriyama was a big fan of Osamu Tezuka and the influence can be seen from Astro Boy and other Tezuka works. Look at Goku’s and Astro Boy’s hair profiles. He changed it enough to make it his own. Point being, it is good to master studies if you can identify what you like in the artist.

[@NelsonWin]

Don't forget The Evil Dead also influenced Berserk. "Groovy"

I have the entirety of my story planned out every single thing basically but whenever I read manga I see that it’s so bad compared to the manga so this really helped to know that other people suffer from this aswell

[@littleskatey577]

Actually, I think its a good thing to trace! It trains line confidence, hand-eye coordination, and you still gain the benefits of copying though theyre arguably lesser. And make sure you dont try to pass off your traced artwork as your own lol

[@aphlearntodrawmanga]

Good points. Tracing definitely has its benefits but like you said, you shouldn’t try to pass it off as your own.

[@okaberintorouwithagun]

I went to an art school my Junior and Seniro year, i still to this day have no idea how i made it in as i was really bad at Art. I made some progress but nothing life changing in my art. After i graduated i started to really miss doing art every single day. So i started unintentionally doing a master study. I would draw pictures i really liked and i didn't see myself improving in terms of being able to go off on my own but instead i saw that i was getting faster. I would take upwards of an hour on one sketch of a character but now i could do one in 10 minutes or less. I eventually reached a point where i thought i wasn't gaining any progress and it bummed me out so hard i stopped practicing, I'd still draw here and there but it wasn't consistent. Your video reinspired me to continue my practice, im currently developing a game and one thing I've been dreading is the art so i hope it turns out well. Thank you for re igniting my passion fot art as its I've always dreamed of making amazing things

[@SMW51411]

I am rn trying to improve my art skills and without even knowing PewDiePie did the same method as me I started to draw scenes from my fav manga in my math notebook in class. For example, in math class i decided to try to draw a scene from chapter 165/165.5 of One Punch Man when garou used Nuclear Vision and It actually turned out good. So far I am able to draw saitama and garous head shapes well but not facial features (Trying to improve on that at the moment) .

Elder sister my future is on your hand please don't stop teaching 😢🙏🇮🇳 Because no one to teach me in our country.

[@dreamingacacia]

Not related to manga but this video sparked some thoughts in me. I'd been thinking why do my artworks only have one but not other. For example, whenever I drew characters, no matter how much action or atmosphere I tried to put in, I feels no soul in it. Everyone else including several professional artists also said the same. But whenever I just vent my emotions by painting abstract artworks, they're full of souls but lacking in tangible substances. Not to mention right now I barely have emotions because I kinda numbed from all the stuffs happening and experienced, so I can't paint those stuffs anymore. One of my teachers said that I'm an impressive talented abstract expressionist artist. But if that's something I wish to be, then I wouldn't suffer right? I'm more ambitious than that. Still, I painted just to vent my overflowing emotions to the point that it's consumed my mind for a period of time....right now though I'm trying to find the souls that I lost. There are something that I couldn't understand myself and there are reasons that I'm not inspired by other stuffs. I have the urge to create. I wrote and publish a couple of novels. I wish I could make my own manga or at least one shot then publish somewhere. I'm currently developing videogame so that I could publish on steam someday...but there is no souls. I couldn't feel anything that I wanted to "share" to others. It's like I only bear the embodiment of creation but I don't have materials to create. Maybe this example will make it simpler to understand. Everyone in my class have girlfriends, so I want to have a girlfriend too. Therefore I went ahead and find someone that'd willing to be my girlfriend. But when I got my own girlfriend, it's not as happy as how others portrayed. I tried to do everything as others said they'd been doing for their girlfriends, but I felt empty. I don't know if this example is relatable but I think this is as clear as I could explain. Though about the girlfriend is factual, but it's also the same for the urge to create stuffs. Back then I even wanted to make variety shows, documentaries, films, series, animations, etc. I don't know...seriously. Maybe I'm the lost soul that I'd been seeking but couldn't redeem myself. That's why I just posted here.

[@ItzCosmic2664]

I can make manga but with stickmans.. BUT THE EFFECT ARE marvelous 👌

[@isaacthewebcomiccreator9750]

I admit that I enjoy harem manga with monster girls, and a few isekai anime with a similar cast of characters. But other than that, I’m mostly prefer some very retro or vintage science fiction manga, like Astro Boy or Captain Harlock for example. Do you know what I mean?

[@stationmasterkuma]

I'm an aspiring artist, though the only things I can do are music, voice acting, and 3D and LEGO creations. But hey, best to be gooda at multiple, right? I've watched and read a few stories and the visual style I imagine in my head is a mix of all of those influences (Faces from Haikyuu, especially Furudate-sensei's early artstyle, bodies from JJK, poses from JJBA, et cetera), so I'm hoping thess videos will help me put it on paper! Right now, I'm drawing panels from Haikyuu and JJK, but with time I will be drawing more than just those two.

[@animesenpai9478]

I think this video has spark something in me

[@keybladeapologist.1131]

by the way if anyone was wondering what the show was about the blue haired boy trying to draw, it;s Bakumon and I cannot recommend it enough its is absolutely fantastic!

[@user-km6sc9nb9s]

For everyone that thinks that their not good at drawing. Look at the starter art of the creator of one punch man.

[@DarkTider]

Perfect timing for my current burnout from the exact reason at the start of the video; "its not good enough." But forced myself to start since else it would never get made, and remind myself that one punch man and attack on Titan succeeded in spite of their air, hunterxhunter still has fans in spite of its art. And readers actually tend to enjoy watching an art style grow as they read. So get going. As Lars Lilholt would say: "A dream that stays a dream is a lie"
