But you can get better. So, the more many years you practice, the better you will improve in you drawing and sketches. "The key to mastering anime drawing is to practice. Draw as much as you can. Don't be discouraged if your work doesn't turn out the way you want it to initially. Keep trying and practice precision." So, mostly saying, to practice. To take each step at a time. Even though your drawing does not appear at how you want it to be, don't be a fret. Within time it will become better. With practice, and encouragement, also drawing as much as possibly as you can. This form of art is everywhere---in comic books, in cartoon movies, and books as well.

Cichetti, Joanne. "How to Draw Anime & Manga Faces." //eHow.com//.,13 January 2011. Web. 2 May 2011.

The site was created by a journalist named Joanne Cichetti who studies the art of facial manga drawing, in her perspective. I know most of the information already written down, because it was taught to me by my 8th grade art teacher. This website mainly describes the steps of how to draw a Manga face. It describes the importance on taking each and every step, carefully.Making sure that in order for you to make a manga face look somewhat professional, you need to follow most of the steps required. This site also explains that when drawing you should already know what you would like to draw. Or have a very specific idea as to what you are drawing. Because with no idea in mind you will not know exactly what you are drawing. So, what I'm basically saying is the more specific and detailed your idea is, the more you'll know what to draw. Once you've become professional enough, you may exaggerate with the detailing.

This site mostly tells that when you draw a manga face, it depends on what kind of manga face you'd like to draw. It also explains the importance of practicing a lot! The main the detail in to practice a lot. I already know that in order to get better, you need to practice. In this web I learned the different head shapes for certain age groups in manga. But, for the most part is practicing a lot. This site seems adequately fine to trust, if you haven't taken any art classes of any such sort.
