If it wasn't for manga, I wouldn't have started to draw people and begin an interest in anatomy. I went from stick figures, to badly drawn anime style, to somewhat better drawn anime style, and now I find I'm drifting more into realism. When I draw anime style, it looks flat and 2-D and tends to come out awkward. I think I need to explore realistic drawings more, find out how to draw 3-D and eventually settle into my own style. Maybe I'll go back to anime, maybe I'll find something that incorporates both anime and realism. But for now... back to the sketchbook.
