Thread: Good manga/anime artists to watch on YouTube?

I want to get back into drawing again. I got a new drawing tablet a few weeks ago and I want to pull inspiration from other artists. I love manga/anime style art so I want to get better at that. I started drawing things of this nature from a young age starting with Pokemon and then eventually drawing things from Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, and other anime series that became popular in the US in the late '90s and early '00s.

Does anyone know of some good artists to follow and watch on YouTube that show their process?

This is a great channel.



In this video a guy is using a graphics tablet. These days, the better software options come with brushes and modes that make digital art look remarkably similar to traditional. So maybe if you learn digital you won't find yourself returning to traditional so often. I know there 's still people who don't like it but creating digital art saves on time, money and storage space. So I doubt I'll return to traditional.

With all the guides and software around these days it's harder to draw characters off-model!

Thanks for sharing this. I will watch it later. I am trying to compile a playlist of things to watch. I know using references helps develop your skills which is why I want to see how things are drawn by various people. I have some sketches of body poses, hands, eyes, hair, and general shapes for referencing but I still need to work on things.
