Kuroshitsuji

Steps

1. 1
   Get plenty of drawing supplies (pencils, erasers, paper), and a flat surface in a relaxed, quiet area where you can concentrate.
   
   
2. Choose a gender for your character.
3. Decide what kind of personality your character will have. This will model his or her appearance and add a twist to their personality to make them more interesting. Punk, perky, selfish, sensitive, or peppy are some ideas. If you can't decide, make flashcards with different personality traits written on them and pick one randomly.
4. Decide if you want them to have long hair or short hair, spiky or comfortable, wavy, curly, or straight, or maybe just plain unique!
5. Create a personal storyline to go with it. Or you could insert the character into a certain Manga you enjoy, that would then be a RPC (role-playing-character). When making your own story, be sure to be as imaginative as you want!
6. Draw them! Make unique hair and clothes, have them have lots of charms, bracelets, piercings, tattoos, or lots of weapons hanging out of their pockets. They should have a theme. Pick clothes that fit the personality you decided on, e.g. "Jungle Girl" would be wild and sassy. She might have lots of ties on her arms and legs, a tank top and short skirt, long boots, and enormous swords. If peppy, maybe a cute pink t-shirt with a short skirt and sandals. A punk may wear black shirts and blue jeans with roller blades. Be creative! A good website for drawing anime tutorials is MangaUniversity.com
7. Get them some personal information. They should have a name, age, theme, position in anime, favorite color/person/book/music/anime, etc., hair color, crush/boyfriend/girlfriend, best friend, magical powers (optional), birthday, prissy/tomboy/punk/emo/Gothic/sporty status, and blood type. (The types and meanings are listed below.) All this information will pay off if you choose to make an anime series or something later.
8. Check out these blood types and meanings:
   • O - Happy, open, caring, and energetic
   • A - Chilled out, cool, caring, positive attitude
   • B - Chilled out, cool, negative attitude with an occasional glimpse of happiness
   • AB - hyper! funny, positive thinking, energetic, cool, overall great person!
9. The character needs a history. He was born somewhere, has a family, or a trauma that you can use in your story. You don't have to write a biography for every character you create, but if you are planning to do something serious with the character (like a manga, or anime, or simply a long story) you might get confused. A lot of famous artists have made simple mistakes, like
   • The character's father dies at the start of the story, then after like 25 chapters his father visits him, and everybody acts like nothing is happened (The author forgot that he was dead).
   • The main character is born in France, but then he decides to visit his town and goes somewhere in Syrya.
10. Choose their talents! They could be sporty, artistic, famous, wannabe, or whatever you want them to be. They could be a ballerina, like Mint Aizawa in Tokyo Mew Mew; they could be a rich, famous, over-all superstar like Zakuro Fujiwara, who's also from Tokyo Mew Mew, or they could be just plain weird like Spongebob Squarepants

Tips

• When designing what your character looks like, don't go overboard with the special effects. You don't want 3 cool belts, 5 cute bracelets, and 8 weapons! Just go easy on it. Remember, a little individuality can go a long way!
• Even if you don't think you can draw, you can! You probably just have a low self esteem. Practice on other anime or manga you see on shows if you aren't creative. People will still love your art even if it isn't original--it's called fanart. If you keep practicing you will get better and more creative. It doesn't matter if you're good or bad you just need to start. If people critique your art badly then just keep trying. They will like it a little more each time.
• If the character seems too bland, that's okay! Get some peer critique from peers or people of the same interest, or if you're creating a character for a published work, get feedback from your audience. Remember, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but also is harsh criticism!
• Try drawing your character again and again until you get a perfect idea and know what you want your character to look like. It also can make your drawings better over time, so don't worry about your art looking awkward or strange the first time. You just need to get to know your character and draw them again and again. (This has also kind of been pointed out in the previous tips hasn't it?)
• After drawing your charater, darken the lines so you can see better and make sure it's on the lines. Sometimes when you draw lightly and finish your drawing, other people couldn't see your drawing lightly. So just dark the lines after you draw your charater light.
• Hope you'll be the greatest manga artist ever!

Warnings

• Draw your lines lightly or you won't be able to erase them.
• Don't let it bother you when some people don't like your art.
• Don't make their weapons huge! You don't want your character to be carrying around five feet wide swords all the time! Make it simple. Just make it big enough so they can defend themselves well.
• Manga won't make you friends. In fact, connecting to a fantasy world tends to drive us away from real social interaction. Many people will start running at the first sign of interest in trivial hobbies. Just keep in touch with reality though and your art will at least attract some conversations!
• Make sure your ideas are not plagiarizing another anime or manga.

Things You'll Need

• Paper
• Pen
• Pencil
• Eraser (to alter your character's appearance when you get some cool ideas)

Drawing Tips and Trick-Check Them Out !

Drawing tips and tricks....check them out...

1 - When drawing or painting two people in a portrait always have one person higher than the other and when drawing three people always have the person in the middle a little higher or lower than the two outer portraits instead of having them all the same height.

2 - When drawing a portrait try not to concentrate too much on a likeness, just concentrate on the structure and form of the face and a likeness will come.
 

3 - The best angle for a portrait is a three quarter view, that is in between a profile (side view) and a straight on view.
 

4 - Unless your drawing or painting a full portrait it is best to leave the background simple or with no background at all, simplicity is the key to successful portraiture.

5 - If your drawing or painting a dog remember that the dog's nose protrudes more than the rest of the face so use your strongest darks, lights and colours there to bring it out more than the rest of the dog's face to achieve depth. See a pastel painting of a dog video excerpt 6 mins (Windows media player needed)

6 - When you are painting and you cant make out the overhaul colour of something, cut out a grey 6"x4" card and make a round hole in it about the size of a one pence piece or a dime and hold it out in front of you against the colour. Because of the grey neutral colour of the card and the small hole you will be able to see colours and tones better through the hole without other details distracting you.

7 - When drawing or painting a head and shoulders portrait make the features (eyes, nose, mouth) slightly darker than the rest of the portrait especially the eyes, after all these are the most important parts of the portrait.

8 - To make eyes liquid looking put the main highlights in and then put a secondary highlight in but a bit fainter just at the top of the bottom lid of the eye

9 - To put life and vitality into a drawing or painting one quick deft stroke can and will make all the difference.

10 - Always make dark people cooler and a shade lighter than what they look otherwise they can look too brown and dark. See video excerpt 3 mins (Windows media player needed)

11 - Generally shadows are cool so exaggerate this blueness to make the features stand out more but on occasion shadows are warm (Reds) don't exaggerate warm shadows otherwise they wont look like shadows.

12 - Have you ever seen an head and shoulders portrait where the head looks too big for the shoulders this is because you haven't drawn the shoulders wide enough, this is a common mistake, make sure the proportions are correct.
