Right now I'm working on a 2D fighting game, and am drawing some characters in the anime style.I'm just beginning this, but I thought this tutorial was especially helpful, and could benefit some others around also.

Well, I'm sort of a 2D fighter fan .
Um, before I comment, are you a good artist, and what experience do you have previous with anime style? I'm not an artist myself but I know people who are and they all love anime. Believe me, they've been pluggen away at anime for many years and they still think they stink. However, I'm not an artist myself, and do not understand why they criticize themselves so much (especially since one of them is a professional photographer and portrate painter).

Good luck with the fighting game.

Thanks CraZemon, hopefully I will complete this project.

My experience as drawing anime is about 2 months(lolL), but the drawings are at least half-decent for what I need
(though there's room for improvement, heheh)
it'll be very interesting to see how everything turns out.

I've been drawing in the anime style for about 2 years and I still feel that it just dosn't have the look that it should. I think one of the troubles could be that it is very precise. Unlike other types of art which can be drawn freehand, this style requires a great deal of planning. Or at least it does if you want it to look right. Personally I have never really been happy with my drawings, except on the odd occasion when I feel them to be exemplary to any of my other efforts.

Here is a site dedicated to drawing in the anime style!
[href]www.howtodrawmanga.com[/href]
It contains a free tutorial which I found incredibly helpful myself, as well as books that cover everything you'd ever need to know about this style!

I've been drawing manga, not anime, over two years now and are planing to to do my first shortmovie. Sorry but I'm a little sensitive when people say that they are drawing anime. Anime is short for animation. Sorry about that folks. I'm usally at another forum where we talk about 3d and 2d and uasally post our pics there.

Anime is French for Animation. It isn't a "short" version of it.

My friend Astra has been drawing Manga for many years now, and my games will feature it, luckily enough. ^-^ Gawd...her skill could easily compare to anime professional work. *drools*

Well, Cya.

For some tutorials, go to http://www.bakaneko.com/. It's where I got a tutorial sample which I used for the base as one of the main characters in the Darkside of the Cresent Moon series.
