  Step-by-step instructions:
  Anime Art 
  Whether it is a dishevelled rocker or a nattily dressed type in a 
  suit, a laid-back surfer or a conceited glamour boy: no matter 
  who plays the principal role, everyday college life provides many 
  possibilities for a variety of stories and subjects. Our main figure 
  is a typical heartthrob – a mixture of a friendly sunny boy and 
  the cool macho type. the mischievous smile, a slightly arched 
  eyebrow and dark sunglasses give him a slightly arrogant air.  
  He likes to show off his sporty body. the many accessories show 
  that styling and appearance are very important to him. 
  What you will need:
  Anime Art Set College, ruler, sharpener, eraser, scissors,  
  2x A4 sheets of drawing paper, 2x A4 sheets of watercolour paper, 
  graphite paper

  laxed, therefore he is holding his head 
  at a slight angle and his right arm is 
  loosely resting on his hip.  
  His weight is resting on his left leg. 
  You can underline his sporty physique 
  with broad shoulders and an up-
  right torso. Your drawing should not 
  completely fill the A4 paper, because 
  otherwise there will not be enough 
  room for the background later on.
  To draw your figure, first make a 
  preliminary sketch on the A4 drawing 
  paper. it is best to start with a simple 
  stick figure and then add the joints 
  to it. this is important so that you 
  can work on an anatomically correct 
  bodily posture right from the start, 
  and one that is also appropriate for 
  the character. Our principal figure is 
  always at pains to look cool and re-

  meeting at one point. Also, you need 
  to consider how much volume the 
  arms and torso need in order to give 
  his stature the presence you want, but 
  without excessively falsifying the  
  correct proportions at the same time.
  now give your college boy a little 
  more plasticity by means of basic 
  geometrical shapes such as cylinders. 
  When doing this, make sure you 
  draw the proportions and the overlaps 
  so that there are not too many lines

  more athletic. if the new details give 
  rise to undesirable overlaps, you can 
  improve the position of the limbs a 
  little more at this point. 
  His hair and school bag, as well as 
  the trousers and jacket of his school 
  uniform, are drawn in a simplified 
  way. Also give a hint of a six-pack so 
  that your college boy will look even

  darker or lighter with the coloured 
  pencils in order to achieve a result 
  that is as plastic as possible. Also, you 
  will find it easy to experiment with 
  changing the facial expression of your 
  college boy by varying how he holds 
  his head or the shape of his eyebrows 
  and the corners of his mouth.
  In the next step, build up the figure 
  completely as shown in the picture. 
  now you have completed your pre-
  liminary sketch. this will help you to 
  be able to estimate the impact of the 
  small details more effectively. As a re-
  sult, it will be easier for you to decide 
  which areas should later be coloured

  and the folds of the material on his 
  sleeves have been made as realistic as 
  possible. Following this, use graphite 
  paper to transfer the subject to a sheet 
  of A4 watercolour paper.  
  Work over the lines again with a fine-
  liner pen and erase the pencil lines 
  that are still visible.
  You can make your final alterations to 
  the preliminary sketch. Our school-
  boy‘s head is now a little larger and 
  he has been made a bit more slender 
  in the waist so as to emphasise the 
  breadth of his shoulders and his 
  sporty stature more. Additionally, the 
  jacket of his school uniform above all 
  has been given more embellishments

  to give a greater impression of depth 
  and three-dimensionality, you can 
  reduce or increase the intensity of 
  colour application at particular points 
  in the picture. You can see the differ-
  ence in the application of colour on 
  the hair which is achieved by painting 
  over with a wet brush. this method 
  enables you to create various surface 
  structures.
  of the underlying surface (e.g. table 
  panel) from pressing through. On the 
  fineliner drawing, ground out the in-
  dividual surfaces using the Art GriP 
  watercolour pencils. When doing this, 
  hold the pencil as flat as possible and 
  stroke it carefully over the paper in 
  order to fill in the individual areas. 
  You should resharpen the pencil from 
  time to time if required.  
  We recommend placing your water-
  colour paper on an unused sheet of 
  paper. this will prevent the structure

  and plasticity. For example, you can 
  darken the pure yellow shade for the 
  lining of the jacket, thereby adapting 
  it to the other more natural shades 
  of the school uniform. the different 
  materials of the clothing and acces-
  sories can be indicated by different 
  colourings. 
  the next step is to colour in all the 
  elements of the figure as shown in the 
  illustration. Don‘t forget to vary the 
  intensity of colour application. the 
  ability to paint over Art GriP water-
  colour pencils with water means you 
  can blend the eight colours provided 
  to create many additional shades, and 
  in this way easily produce shadows

  shapes, of the kind you often see in 
  Japanese mangas or animes.  
  the urban scene is rounded off by a 
  dividing line of trees and a short wall.
  now draw in the background image, 
  once again by making a preliminary 
  sketch on a second sheet of A4 draw-
  ing paper. Use a grid to outline a 
  school building comprised of simple

  the shining colours give the impression 
  of a beautiful sunny day. then work 
  over the sun, bushes, window panes in 
  the building and the sky with a moist-
  ened brush.
  When you are satisfied with your 
  preliminary sketch, draw it out neatly 
  a second time on a new sheet of A4 
  watercolour paper. then ground out the 
  background according to the illustration 
  using the Art GriP watercolour pencils.

  Also draw in the shadows cast by the 
  school building. these colour applica-
  tions are not painted over with water.
  As soon as the background has dried, 
  apply additional details to the bushes 
  and firm out the outline of the sun.
