To exercise my artistic muscles, I like to take a break from the norm and create art in different ways. I generally paint traditional or digital watercolors, but this time I created a manga-like character from a portrait using vector brushes. Since I like to draw in Fresco and I like to create and edit in Photoshop on the iPad, it seemed only natural to use both for my creation.
I decided to draw the character in Fresco because it is a drawing and painting app. Likewise, I thought it made sense to open my character in Photoshop on the iPad to create a background and then edit my character there. There are many different styles of anime and manga, from relatively realistic to highly stylized. I chose to make mine somewhere in the middle of the spectrum.

Before you start drawing or painting, you should decide which type of layers you want to create, pixel or vector. You can learn more about the types of layers and brushes here: Pixel brushes, Vector brushes, Live brushes, Erasers. To learn about importing and managing brushes read here: read here: Import and manage brushes. I decided to make a vector drawing, so I chose the third brush tool from the top.
NOTE: Manga characters typically have somewhat smaller bodies, chins, and mouths, but larger heads and eyes. I made these adjustments in my sketch. You can see that one of the main changes is that I lowered the eyes and made them much larger. You can learn more about drawing manga characters here:

There are several ways to produce shadows and highlights on a drawing. Painting and brightness/contrast adjustment layers are just two methods I chose to show you in this demo. You can also use other types of adjustment layers such as color balance, exposure, hue/saturation, levels, and vibrance. Hopefully this got your creativity flowing and you are ready to experiment in both Fresco and Photoshop on the iPad.

Itachi's hair has long, downward-pointing spikes. He wears the spiral-shaped Leaf Village symbol and a tall upturned collar. But his most striking features are the circles and spots of the Sharingan in his red eyes.
In manga, various shapes are used as visual clues to what a character is thinking or feeling. Using spirals in place of normal eyes is one such symbol. It communicates confusion, the receipt of mind-blowing information, or a paralyzing attack.

In this class she explained how to draw in the Chibi style; she covered Manga head design, eye design, hairstyles and expressions; she taught how to draw the anime figure, costume, hands and feet; and then delved into coloring techniques, action poses and drawing male characters. Overall, there are seven lessons that spanned about three hours.
The entire course began with a lesson in Chibi style. Chibi style is drawing with a series of circles and ovals, and was a great way to step into the anime genre. I learned the following techniques in this section:
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this class, and although it focused on anime illustration, I felt it gave a great overview of drawing characters in general, not just drawing anime style characters, so that was a nice bonus.
Not to mention that Cotty does a fantastic job of showing the viewer how to break down body components into shapes (making them easier to draw) and then pairs those suggestions with guidelines to pull together an expressive, cohesive character.
They draw anime characters in a way to make them look European, I don't have a problem with them looking European but it makes me wonder, is it because Japanese people wish that they could look a bit like Europeans? .... Hence that's why some of their females do eye surgery to have European looking eyes?
They want to make the characters look cute and attractive, hence they added the features that they consider cute or attractive.
The fact that those are Caucasian features or if the anime mimics Caucasian because Japanese wants to be want are rather Western interpretation.
A lot of mangaka actually do draw the characters in more "Japanese looking way", but it's not like all manga is about "average Japanese students" most of it very much fantasy and when you're drawing a blue-haired alien character, why don't make them any kind of features you like? Even if you draw a Japanese person, you just might want to make them stand out more with unusual hair/eyes, because it's a comic and you want people to differentiate characters better.
But then after WW2, Allied forces occupied Japan and brought over their influences. Osamu Tezuka, considered the father of Manga, watched a lot of Disney cartoons as a kid, which influenced him to draw characters with big eyes to emphasize expressions, leading to anime big eye.
Edit: I also think in some ways, we're evolved/ conditioned to find big eyes cute (babies, cats, and puppies), so the style stick. Japan is also heavily influenced by Western beauty standard, so I'm not surprised a lot of characters lean toward that end.
His stuff was extremely popular and every working artist had to copy him, even if they didn't want to, because it sold well. Since comics are written and drawn by fans who in turn create more artists who are fans, his DNA is always there in some capacity.
In the end the way a manga looks is largely determined by the fandom the artist came from, and the publishers's desire to pander to the limited tastes of their audience. Shojo romance books demand a certain look. Shonen fight books the same. Thankfully the audience has diversified enough that artists who do stand out can have a shot at making a career for themselves;
You are viewing the characters from a non-Japanese perspective, thus you are not going to code them as being Japanese. A Japanese person may see them as character that reflect their culture even if they have strange color hair and eyes.
I feel like a good comparison is Marge Simpson. She's doesn't look like a white person. Her hair is a weird color. And her eyes don't look anything like a real person. But we know she is White of French descent due to the context given within the show.
I remember reading a documentary somewhere that they were inspired by early Disney animations. The large eyes, over expressive emotions, and small features were added later on because it just got caught up with art aesthetics trends.
I used to live in Germany (nearly a half century ago) and while watching anime stories like Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Starblazzers, even Attack on Titan, D. Gray Man, and more there is a ton of corresponding material--names, costumes, military and social order, on and on.
Let me add, I saw a documentary on anime that mentioned when the Japanese manga/anime artist first were selling their works with their normal features--Asian eyes, hair, facial features, wouldn't you know, it was not accepted in the western world. However, I have seen works even anime, that have stayed true to their amazing appearance.
So in the same way as how in a Kabuki theatre performance, you're not meant to literally believe you're watching the story of people with enormous hair and white, black and red face paint who stomp and pose all the time, but a stylised performance, so in manga, you're not meant to believe that people create enormous drops of sweat from their heads when they're anxious, or that they're literally people with blue hair.
Eye and hair shape and colour tend to be stylistic representations of characters in anime. If you see a character with spikey, red hair and wide blue eyes, you can probably assume "this character is energetic and hot-headed, but has a childlike innocence", while a character with smaller, brown or black eyes and dark blue hair slicked down will probably be serious, mature and quiet.
In the same way as a stick figure represents a human, even though it's very distantly abstracted from what a human looks like, manga characters represent archetypes. by exaggerating traits to be larger than life. The bleached, spikey hair associated with delinquency or not fitting into mainstream Japanese society is exaggerated from the sort of red-brown colour it'd be in real life to bright blonde, or sometimes a ditzy character will just be drawn with blonde hair, because she's figuratively "blonde", not literally blonde. Meanwhile a character whose personality or outward persona is the traditional ideal of the "perfect Japanese woman" will nearly always have long, jet black (or blue-black or deep purple, which kind of represent pure raven black) hair (Komi from Komi Can't Communicate, Sailor Mars etc.) because she's representing something more than a literal person. 152ee80cbc
