If you have a link to a toon or anime tutorial you think others would find useful please share it here!

http://demented3d.com/tutorial/ My own site.

First off,

for learning to draw Manga-style, then head over here for some free tutorials
from Manga University

drawing tutorials index

----

The following tutorials are in Japanese, but you could use an online translation tool such as Altavista's Babel Fish

Now the tutorials!

Katakata

This one is not so much of a tutorial but a amusing discussion with 3 anime characters and how the company, AIC created and rendered characters for Battle Athletes using Animation Master

And last but not least, (for now) two .pdf tutorials from YB's Factory Garden

AS these are PDF's you wont be able to directly translate them with the normal Acrobat Reader.

Blue Tone - a toon rendering tutorial

Red Tone - modeling a character


Good luck!

Oh yeah,

Also you would want some modeling sheets if you do not wish to draw your own rotoscopes.

Anime Model Sheets

wow thnx! you rock!

that second link looks really good for beginners

I don't think I rock mate

But thanks for saying that anyway - i still like that stormtrooper avatar hehe
Its Gold!

Oh, another manga drawing tutorial website


www.polykarbon.com

This guy has a very nice website with lots of interesting stuff!

see ya

Thanks! It's a clone trooper, by the way.

I like Clone Troopers... you modeled any of them yet?

Yes, that's how I made this avatar. I rendered the helmet then did some stuff in PS.

anyone got a japaneese transelator?

I'm a Japanese translator...

I'm not that good though. Just run a google search. I've seen tons form those.

Here is another HTDM site I like:

www.baka-neko.com
MASSIVE FORUMS!

www.mangatutorials.com
AWESOME SITE.

Can we get the Toon-tutorials from:

http://www.skz.or.jp/yb/


somewhere in English please?

They seem to be very interesting....

;>) Jake

i always get error messanges trying to read the pdf files.

Frank,

Which version of Adobe reader are you using?

You need to install the Japanese language support which the program SHOULD advise before you attempt to view those .PDF's.

See ya

solved the problem, thank you.

It would seem the Blue Tone and Red Tone links are broken

Hi Idgilman,

It seems the website was updated since i posted the links so I here are the new links:


Red Tone

http://aerial.iobb.net/~gardenz/public/techlib/Red_Tones.htm

Blue Tone

http://aerial.iobb.net/~gardenz/public/tec.../Blue_Tones.htm

IF you click on the first link, which is DOWNLOAD, you get the all the pages as one PDF as opposed to downloading each page which the 'thumbnails / images" portray.

If you want to have a look at the other tips, go to the main page:

http://aerial.iobb.net/~gardenz/

and click on the second link on the side bar.

Hope that works.

Go to: http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr

It will translate whole sites if you want it to.

these sites aren't working for me.

Well, they were posted over a year ago...
