Because your perspective and your vanishing points (no matter how many perspectives you want) resolve around your horizon line - so get familiar with it first~ <br />The practice: As everything goes with drawing, you need to practice a lot, (and i mean a lot!) to be good at it~ so keep drawing, build up your mileage, try go outside and draw an actual scenery, print out photos and analyze - find out their horizon line, their vanishing points etc. and then... keep drawing~ <br /><br />That is why~ you need to love drawing backgrounds to begin with~ ;)<br />Hope this helps~ Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16871989585951243711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665808626690235353.post-73865820252699297182013-11-15T14:51:29.560+08:002013-11-15T14:51:29.560+08:00Hey Wilson.

Although, I'm still young, so I there's still plenty of thinking abour this.<br />I'm struggling with backgrounds because I don't really know how to draw them (especially perspective, aaaarrgghh), do you perhaps have any tips?"Mikasa"noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665808626690235353.post-85222491223772799122013-09-11T00:36:54.256+08:002013-09-11T00:36:54.256+08:00Hello Indra,
Before i go into any details i'd...Hello Indra, <br />Before i go into any details i'd like you to know that Mangaka is in fact a profession that requires a lot of knowledge from drawing to story telling, creating thumbnails, studying of body language, world building etc. <br />I'd like to suggest you to read up Scott McCloud's book: Making Comics, that'll give you a lot of in-depth look on what mangaka or comic artist is all about. <br /><br />But back to your question, the most direct approach to become a comic artist would be: <br />1) draw a comic, then send to comic books publisher, tell them you wish to become a comic artist and they'll guide you to the rest of the process. <br />2) Or you could just draw your own comic then publish it on blog or your own webpage, that way you don't have to pay a crap to other people's critiques or comments~ (if all you wish to do is expressing yourself through comics y'know~)<br /><br />So approaching the comic books publishers or webpage, simple~ Don't do self publishing and printing, it's too time consuming, too much spending and too little profits~ <br /><br />Hope this'll answer your question~Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16871989585951243711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665808626690235353.post-17219245646411393122013-09-07T15:01:25.246+08:002013-09-07T15:01:25.246+08:00G'day bro I was only just bored minutes ago wh...G'day bro I was only just bored minutes ago when I saw a link to his page and so I was just wondering if you know any certain way(s) to become a mangaka, manga artist etc. because I have always loved my art and you should be able to see in the link to the page that I provided next to my name where it'll show some parts of my life from the last 4 or so years, because ever since I was ill in 2009 I've tried my best to figure how to become one....Indra DBBJ Alfonsihttp://indraisawesome.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665808626690235353.post-24632972893983824692012-08-03T01:40:57.265+08:002012-08-03T01:40:57.265+08:00I wanna say, I love your page.
