I'm learning to too. My instructor says to focus on the basic shapes and practice just them until u can consistantly get them right, doing one shape at a time. After u've mastered all the shapes, work on the details, like the added lines where clothing folds, lighting, and shading. Don't try to learn it all at once. not sure if that'll help u, but it worked well for me.
i think u should draw it ur own way, doing it step por step doesnt always work, it suks wen i try, dats y i do it my style, i start from hair, antro, den go down, u can try doin it da way u feel comfy wit
When drawing charecters that are standing strait, take the measurement of the head and measure it agaist the body. mangá charectors are normally five 'heads' tall and real people are about seven and a half heads tall.
What I do is to first look at one of my favourite animes or mangas, and practise their drawing style(eyes, nose, body anatomy, etc). It isn't wrong to use other people's styles.
Watch video's on youtube for example, and look how they do it. One secret to learn is to copy.
Once you've mastered their style, make your own style so you aren't stealing.
Don't draw your eyes too detailed, it takes too much time. Add detail, but not so much that it's too realistic. And remember: watch your head size! I'll turn out like a chibi (unless that's what you're going for, of course!)!
Try taking a character from your favourite show or manga. Learn his/her face, clothes, body shape and then try to draw him/her. When you think you've mastered everything, try changing his/her face and anything else you want to make your own character. It's easier this way because, after you learn how to draw, your hand gets used to it and then it's easier to see the mistakes. Believe me, it is! That's how i learnt to draw!
