I once met a young girl at the local academy once (at the time, she was about your age too) who was the best artist in the whole class. She was always copying from her anime cartoon books on a pad of paper. And it looked quite good, if I can judge.
visit website .com and and search, and do not forget to click on the links available on these sites. I hope you will find what you need
Oh bleh. I posted one whole long answer on this before, now I’ll have to dig it up again. Please hold on a moment.
Ahha, found them. Here’s a compilation of all my answers so far.
This is one of my best answers to this kind of question.
My personal opinion on drawing manga-style is that you have to be patient and take the time to develop your personal style.
For me, I bought about five manga books (the actual comic books, not how-to-draw) in the genres that I was interested in and after reading them, tried to imitate some of the drawings. I know you don’t want to copy other people’s characters, but it is a start.
Alternatively you can try going onto deviantART (http://www.deviantart.com) and browsing under the Anime section. Try looking in Top Favorites and then when you find some pieces and styles you like, try to come up with any random character design you can think of, then try fusing some of those styles together.
How-to-draw manga tutorials only teach you how to copy the other artist’s style–but that said they can be very useful for beginners. You can try PolyKarbon (http://www.polykarbon.com) which I’m not really a fan of, but hey. Alternatively there are some people who make boatloads of money out of the manga/anime trend by writing books on tutorials, but as I said earlier they only teach you to draw in their style, not yours.
I started drawing anime/manga style in mid-2004 and it’s been 2 years since I started. I now do digital art (CG) for my drawings and I think I’ve improved a lot. I mean A LOT.
Don’t be frustrated if you can’t draw very well at first–as all things are, drawing manga requires patience and practice. Doodle whenever you can, and take note of what you like.
And the other one.
Drawing in the cute anime style actually requires a lot of practice, easy as it may seem to beginners.
Most cute anime style drawings have eyes that are large and the character is almost always happy.
Tutorials to teach you how to draw anime style on the web or in books are not good in my opinion–they only teach you how to draw in the other artist’s style. But they are a good start.
Draw realism first and learn the fundamentals in art. Stylization will follow. Most anime tutorial are not good because they don’t teach you proper anatomy or the illustrated samples are not done well. Anime, like all cartoons, are simplified/stylized versions of reality. Trust me, you won’t go very far on anime alone. It may seem boring, but by learning human proportions and anatomy, it will make your transition to anime much easier and allows you to more easily put your personal flare in it. Masamune Shirow and Hyung Tae-Kim have strong background in realism and it shows their manga-style illustrations.
