Step 1
Usually, manga is drawn on A4 sheets with margins. The inner frame is the main work area. However, some frames may go beyond it, which will make the composition more dynamic.

Don't make the lines too thick and bold to avoid unpleasant marks from them if you erase them.
Step 2
The manga has its own characteristics that must be observed. So the proportions of the human body are somewhat different from what we see in life. Rather, it is a metaphor for expressing dramatic or comic effects. Through the poses and made of the heroes, their character is revealed. You can draw some detail or part of the body in some of your own technique, this will give your work an individuality, but still you should not stray too far from the canons of the genre.
Step 3
Use thin auxiliary lines in your work. They will help to avoid asymmetry or arms and legs of different lengths.
Step 4
Start drawing with a free sketch, gradually filling it with details and new elements. If you start drawing details before you finish the character's face, then there is a possibility that in the end they will not fit into the overall picture, then you will have to get rid of them. If you find a mistake, then fix it immediately, do not put it on the back burner.
Step 5
Keep in mind that the characters should have significant differences in hairstyle, eyes, manner of dress, unless, of course, this is at odds with a specific storyline. It is also highly desirable that each character has an individual eye and face shape. All this helps to reveal the character of the heroes, which is very important.
Step 6
Show different tilts of the head and facial expressions of the characters, diversify their poses, but at the same time strive to ensure that both eyes of the hero are similar. Following these tips will maximize your drawing accuracy and efficiency.
