Drawing people can be difficult, but the best way to learn to draw cartoons and have them look awesome is to start by learning to draw things realistically!. Try taking a figure drawing class at a local community college!. There you will learn about foreshortening, creating volume and weight and all of the fun stuff that great artists can do!. I guess another option would be to follow some how to guide on the internet about drawing anime characters, but then you'll always be relying on someone else's formula for drawing bodies really well and you'll never develop your own style!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes anime bodies can be difficult considering that sum artists draw them a bit disproportional!. Try lines!.!.!. Ex!. to make sure ur legs have the same length put a line where the knees and ankles will be!. And if you want, you can use the same measurements for arms and legs, like using the lower part of ur arm the same size for the thighs!. I hope my tips make sense and help u!. Plz do contact me, since i luv 2 draw anime as well!. ;]Www@QuestionHome@Com
