Amazing! Lots of great examples, value, inspiration, and growth. Ignore the people that say don't trace photos, that is very unrealistic thinking since professionals and animated movies do this all the time with photos they take on site to save money and meet deadlines.

[@gakuseimuto]

Thank you 🙏❤️

[@HTMangaka]

This is very true. I cannot count how many people praise Dandadan's background art, not realizing that 70% of them are photobashed. O_O

[@laylahk1018]

Thank you so much that was so helpful ❤

[@MEMEMEME-dl8ii]

Every time I look at background of manga it gives me goosebumps because no one even notices it but mangaka still draws them with such detail

[@gakuseimuto]

That's our job 🔥😤

[@MangakaSky]

Saving this for laterr!!!

[@gakuseimuto]

That's fire 🔥 good luck!

[@AllOut_100]

NOICE TUTORIAL BRUV, you should make another one about drawing crowds, WOULD REALLY HELP

[@gakuseimuto]

Sign up for the emailist, that's where am gonna talk about drawing crowd's of people in BGs

[@LoCoZappers]

I learned also that you can use the word ballon shape tool, change it to rectangle, and use it on the perspective ruler as well, since most buildings are squares/rectangles! The only difficulty is the multiple layers 😅 but just another technique in anyones toolset

[@gakuseimuto]

Oh yeah thank you!

[@AnoobishManga]

I started my journey to drawing a couple of years ago and recently started my mangaka journey and videos like these are truly inspirational and helpful. The funny thing is on my recent journey, I started with perspective, so this helps out greatly. Thank you for sharing!

[@gakuseimuto]

[@vansh9126]

Bro it’s truly a great tutorial can you make one for drawing body I mean like one piece where it has various design that’s literally hard I have been trying about a month but I don’t get the actual approach like character such as Franky( Bulky body or Sanji( Lean body) or black beard(a broad body) I hope you understand the problem as a artist.

In the thumbnail BG you made, is there a technique for making even windows? Or even a pattern in CSP I can get on the asset store? If not, I may make a png template for building windows.

[@gakuseimuto]

I drew them once and then started copying them. But making a Ong is smarter

Great video as always :) Silent Manga Audition results arrived yesterday. How did it go for you? For me it ended the same as always with a message about how they liked my entry and to watch more videos on their channel to try my luck for the next audition. It was my 10th entry xp.

[@gakuseimuto]

Thank you! It was actually my first time participating at the sma, I didn't win anything unfortunately, but this just gave me more motivation to get better and win next time, wish you luck too 🍀

[@RealJavierEscuella]

What if I draw on paper?

[@gakuseimuto]

U use the picture as a ref and then start from there

[@ch20_m95]

Hey with all due respect, I don't think it's a great idea just to go and tell people to just trace a photo that you found/took of a scene you like. I can appreciate that you did explain concepts like perspective but I dunno if tracing is the route to go. Your BG's are far better than whatever I could do before you did any tracing and mad respect for that but the tracing thing doesn't sit right with me.

[@zoro-i8u]

"Fake it till you make it."

[@gakuseimuto]

You do you bro. This is not THE way to draw manga backgrounds. It's just how I draw them. Feel free to draw backgrounds the way you like. Good luck 🍀

[@PinkLunatic]

A lot of Mangakas do this to save time due to tight deadlines
