Perspective Method - 1-point Perspective18:42
apply one-point perspective by setting the eye level, establishing a vanishing point and perspective lines to render characters and rooms, including furniture and boxes, on a unified horizon.
Perspective Method - 2-point Perspective19:35
Master two-point perspective for manga by placing left and right vanishing points, aligning with eye level, and learning why vanishing points must sit outside the paper to avoid distortion.
Perspective Method - 3-point Perspective9:22
Learn to extend the two-point perspective with a third vanishing point to master three-point perspective, revealing tall buildings narrowing with height and looking up or down.
Perspective Method - Circular Perspective11:39
Learn the four-point perspective method, its vanishing points and eye level, and how to combine it with one-, two-, and three-point views for dynamic manga drawings.

Character Perspective - Eye Level9:11

What is mangAnime おひさま塾 (Ohisama Juku)?

mangAnime おひさま塾 provides learn-anywhere video courses around the clock; where you can learn Manga and Anime drawing techniques from Japanese professionals.

Japan is one of the handful of biggest producers of animation in the world; about 60% of the all animations broadcasted in the world are made in Japan. Anime became greatly popular around the world.

Most Japanese anime series have recognizable traits and use various storytelling tropes associated with their genre. In storytelling, it is essential to explain the five Ws: who, what, when, where and why. Novelists do this with words. Manga Artists or Animators, however, can use background illustrations to tell much of the story. Understanding perspective is essential when drawing backgrounds. The correct use of perspective is very important as it can make a flat image appear to have depth and volume.

Let our professional Japanese animator, Kimiharu Obata-sensei, guide you from the basics, right though to the skills you will need to draw your own anime heads from scratch.

Obata-sensei will illustrate the basics of perspective drawing, perspective when drawing characters, and explain how these are applied in drawing manga and anime.

Whether you’re a complete beginner, or intermediate at Manga & Anime drawing, you’ll learn things you never knew you never knew.

All videos are subtitled.
