it's not a "not good anything"... it was a good meme.

Helo Stan, thanks for everything you do for the art world. almost all of my anatomy studies are from your free youtube videos (i'm a broke b*tch). my question is abit out of topic but i'm really curious. Considering the rise of anime and manga lately, how come you never discuss about mangas / manga artists? people like Takehiko inoue, Yusuke Murata, Kohei Horikoshi are like one the best artists in the world. just thought it would be a fun discussion and wondering what your take is on mangas. if you read any XD.
thanks for the answer stan. I can't realy blame you. we all have our diferent taste. but one day when you have the time and or just bored. I think you would realy enjoy Vagabond. as for english speaking manga artists.... idk, man. they usually have a translater for foreign interviews.

The Ghost in the Shell manga is very different from the anime and has a comedic tone while also being as comprehensive about the way things work as Gene Roddenberry was with Star Trek.
I'm still exploring manga myself but it's one of my faves to study.
Dororo is also a GREAT addition to any lexicon as it's one of Osama Tezuka's best works and is a bridge point for cinematic storytelling through manga. It is VERY compelling to my tastes.
It will largely depend on your preferences but these are two of my favorites!
I usually tend to like almost any genre except romance (but even that have exceptions too). I'll read both of them since I heard they are very very good. especially ghost in the shell. Thanks for the recommendations

Asked for help
I think I'm finally starting to get it, but I'm not sure I'm marking the landmarks well enough.
very well done. but remember when you first draw/sketch the gesture to exagurate it abit more than you think is necessary. Because when you start putting in the details, it will stiffen up. I think stan said this himself.
I made this mistake when i started drawing from models and my friend told me that because I draw from models and focusing on the anatomy it looks stiff I forgot the gesture. and the line of action is soo straight. other than that i realy don't know what else to add. keep at it and good luck.

Jojo`s Bizarre Adventure, Berserk. These are the best when it comes to art. Berserk is extremely brutal though, do not recommend it to young people. If you are under 18 stay away from Berserk, it will mess with your mind.
I've read Berserk when I was... around 15 maybe. I'm 20 now so that was like what 5 chapters ago lol? it was when it's very popular so might aswell read it. at that age i already have a high tolerance for blood and gore so it doesn't bother me as much as it should have. when I was a (younger) kid I was so scared of blood that when i started to open myself to abit of horror I got very into it. For the artwork man Kentaro is like the Frank frazetta of manga. and as for Jojo the only experience I have with it is from the memes and their weird (?) over the top character designs. but I heard that the author is actualy a very talented mangaka so I should start reading em. Thanks for the recommendations.

Well, it depends on the genre you like.
In terms of drawings, the best mangaka, in my opinion, are Jirō Taniguchi, Takehiko Inoue, Hiroaki Samura (Blade of The Immortal is a masterpiece, as an illustrator I find him a bit disturbing), Naoki Urasawa (who like Taniguchi is also a spectacular writer), Kaoru Mori (if you like the historical genre), Kiyohiko Azuma with his very funny Yotsuba &!
There is also Kentaro Miura who is an excellent drawer, it's a pity that his Berserk over the years has become much worse in terms of story (and I say this as a fan).
that's alot of mangakas that i didn't know. Takehiko Inoue is on my radar for quite awhile now, his hit manga slam dunk is already on my list. Naoki Urasawa is a master mangaka I've read Billy bat and 20th century boys and they're top level stories. for Kentaro Miura i can see your point. I think he doesn't really know where he wants to take the story too. but atleast his the drawings kept getting better overtime unlike Vagabond :,). As for the others, they're pretty new to me so thanks for bringing them up to my attention. I should check them out soon.
