affectionately known as Toons. She’s been drawing
cartoons since she has been walking, and has spent
her life mastering different cartoon styles; from Disney

the web. Malane Newman has demonstrated boundless
imagination and has had experience drawing in various
styles for many of these mediums throughout her
professional career.

Malane Newman has extreme passion for cartooning

and teaches cartooning at a local art school in San
Diego. To share some of her passion for cartooning with

lessons from her Famous Character Drawing Classes.
They are available, free of charge, as online and
downloadable drawing tutorials and famous character

Manga
Proportions -
Body
Proportions for
a Standard
Character
Body proportions for a
standard character
P. Stone, licensed to
About.com, Inc.
This tutorial will show
you how to structure
and outline a basic
manga character. Using
a wireframe figure, you
can get the main parts
of the pose correct and
in proportion before
adding detail.

When drawing a manga

character, the right
proportions are
important. You are
about 7.5 heads tall.
Manga action heroes
tend to have more
elongated proportions,
at least 8 heads tall,
often taller. The
comparatively small
head heightens the
dramatic effect of a low
viewpoint in the
towering ‘hero’ stance.
This is a very different
look to the big-headed
style of cartoon.

Otherwise body
proportions are pretty
much standard: your
shoulder to your elbow
is roughly the same
length as your elbow to
your wrist. The same
goes for the hip to the
knee and knee to the
ankle. I generally like to
begin the wireframe
figure by placing (not
finishing) the head, then
going into the rest of
the wireframe, because
the head usually guides
the body. The detail is
developed along with
the rest of the figure,
not finished first.

Using a Basic
Wireframe to
Structure a
Manga
Character

A simple wireframe base

for a character drawing
P. Stone, licensed to
About.com, Inc.
We're going to start
drawing a character
using a simple
wireframe. For this
example, we'll use a
basic, standing pose so
you can see how it
works.
Copy the wireframe
man, adding circles and
ovals (as shown in the
picture to the left)
between the joints
where muscles should
go. Make them slender
for a lean character like
this one, or thicker for a
bulkier build. Keep in
mind that you still want
to practice all types of
builds in order to
improve at the art style,
and that anime
characters don’t tend to
be as muscular as
western cartoon
characters. The forearm
and calf muscles don’t
continue all the way to
the wrists and ankles,
because the limbs
narrow towards those
joints.

Next draw the outline -
curvy, quite continuous
lines that defines the
character. The gradual
curve of these lines is
very important. Sharp
corners on a figure tend
to look mechanical
rather than organic, and
so look wrong.

Cleaning Up the
Outline

A simple outline ready for

to be turned into a
character
P. Stone, licensed to
About.com, Inc.
As you can see, the
figure I’ve drawn here is
male. Aside from having
breasts, females will
have wider hips and
thinner waists, giving
the “hourglass” shape.
Manga style dictates
that their shoulders are
less broad than men,
and their necks more
slender. Often artists
draw women in a stance
such that their feet are
touching to further
enhance the hourglass
shape.

Next go ahead and

erase the guidelines
within the outline. Make
any corrections to things
that don’t look quite
right. Now you have a
basic figure ready to
add detail.

Posing
Characters with
a Wireframe

Sketching character poses

in wireframe
P. Stone, licensed to
About.com, Inc.
The wire-and-ball
approach is a common
one for drawing figures,
and is a useful place to
start. Once you’re
confident, you’ll find
that you’ll often use just
a suggestion of a
framework, sometimes
skipping straight to the
outline. This is a simple
character to begin with.
The wireframe method
is useful for working out
quick poses, too.

Try roughing out some

character ideas using
the wireframe method.
See if you can copy
poses from photographs
of athletes and martial
arts exponents, or use a
wooden artist's manikin
to set up a pose.

Meet Vin. Vin is a

character that I intend
to animate, and as a
result I’ve done a
character
sheet/character
breakdown for him.
Character sheets let you
create a reference for
your character, covering
the basic views and
making sure that your
proportions match from
drawing to drawing. It’s
good practice for
keeping things in
proportion (even if your
proportions include a
tendency to freakishly
long limbs, like mine)
and getting used to
drawing your character’s
facial expressions.

This character sheet is a

simplified breakdown of
more detailed character
concept art; you need to
reduce your character to
as few lines as possible.
For an idea of how to do
that and why it’s
necessary, take a look
at the lesson on building
an animation-ready
character from the
ground up.

This is just a basic

example character
sheet, with the very
minimum for the sake of
demonstration. Before
animating, you should
try to build a larger
sheet with more detail
for your character.

In the next few steps,

we’ll take a closer look
at the various
breakdown poses.

The side view is the

easiest to draw – for
me, anyway. You only
have to worry about one
of each limb, and the
side view usually lets
me get down the
positions of the facial
features relative to each
other.

If your character has

distinguishing markings
on one side or another
that causes him or her
to look different from
either side, you’ll want
to do two side views to
illustrate the difference.

While we’re looking at

this, take a look at
those lines that I’ve
drawn behind each view.
You’ll notice that save
for minute shifts due to
pose, those lines join
corresponding places on
each pose: the top of
the head, the
waist/elbows, fingertips,
pelvis, knees, shoulders.

After drawing the first

view, it’s usually a good
idea to pick your major
points and use a ruler to
draw lines from those
major points and across
the entire sheet, before
sketching over them for
the other views. This
way you’ll have
reference to make sure
that you’re drawing
everything to scale.

For your front view, try

to draw your character
standing straight, legs
together or at least not
too far apart, hands
hanging at his or her
sides with little
deviation, face turned
straight forward. You
can save the attitude
poses for later; right
now you just want to
get the basic details
down and clearly in
sight, and the front view
generally proves the
best view of the major
character points.

There’s nothing wrong
with cheating a little for
the rear view and just
retracing your front view
with a few details
changed. Don’t forget
that if anything is
oriented to a specific
side, it’s going to
reverse on the rear
view. (Example above:
the part in Vin’s hair, the
slant of his belt.)

Most of the time you

won’t be drawing your
character straight-on,
either from the front or
from the side. A 3/4
view is one of the most
common angles that
you’ll draw your
character at, so you’ll
definitely need to
include one of these in
your character sheet.
You can be a bit more
free with the pose here;
try to capture your
character’s expression
and attitude.
Along with the 3/4 shot,
you should also draw
some action shots –
various poses caught
mid-motion, detailing
how clothing or hair
might move.

You’ll see that the

various key reference
points don’t perfectly
line up with the
guidelines anymore,
because of the angle.
Instead they should
cross right at the
midsection of the point
being measured - for
instance, the one
shoulder would be
above the line marking
the default height for
them, while the other
shoulder would be
below. The hollow of the
throat, a midpoint for
the shoulders, should
rest almost exactly on
the guideline.

I like to color my 3/4

view, just to get a look
at how my character will
look in color – and so I’ll
have those colors
available later, as I
prefer to color my
animations digitally and
my character sheet now
has all the default
character colors I need,
just an eyedropper
selection away. I try to
keep my colors to as
few as possible - mostly
just a solid color and a
shadow color for each
section, although in
some cases I will include
a highlight color.
Shadows and highlights
can be difficult to
animate because they
don't have solidly drawn
boundaries that carry
over to the final
artwork, so they should
be done as simply as
possible.

Lastly, you should try to

draw a detailed close-up
of your character’s face,
as it can tend to get
minimized and a little
sloppy in full-body
shots. (You should draw
close-ups of any other
important parts, too –
like perhaps an
engraved pendant,
tattoo, or other marking
that might normally be
drawn without details in
full-body shots. Don’t
forget to draw ears.
Ears get overlooked
quite often. See above.
I’m guessing Vin looks
so aghast because he’s
missing an ear; that
looks painful.)

I only have two facial

expressions drawn here
for example, but you
should draw at least ten
of the most common
expressions for your
character – whether he
or she is generally
smug, fearful, excited,
happy, angry, etc. Keep
drawing until you think
you’ve covered their
entire range of
emotions.
