IT'S BEEN 1000 YEARS I missed you guys ; - ;)/
Miss u too!
LavenderTowne Miss u to love 😘
LavenderTowne I’VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH TOO!!! I’m so happy your back! 😁😊🥰
We miss you to lavender :D
Said “yay!” Out loud when I saw the notification! Xxx
The best part of these books is they’re like “draw a chin, we aren’t gonna show you tricks on how, just do it”
IKR I never understood why you'd put the lines in after drawing the head... I gave up on the book almost immediately.
_DEADASS i always needed help understanding with that but had nobody to ask_
Lol true that
That’s like Instagram tutorials ! Draw a line , draw another line , now you have a castle , congratulations !
There’s one book, ‘Draw Manga: The Complete Skills’ by Sonia Leong (I think?) and it’s actually really helpful. It goes quite in-depth on how to draw proportions of the face and drawing those of various races, composition of manga panels, etc, and it’s got QR codes that link to videos for visual learners instead of step-by-step learners, it’s really good and I highly recommend it! (This is from personal experience, my partner got it for me on Valentine’s Day, and I can never thank them enough for how useful the book is 😅)
Even as a child I felt I was "above" these How To Draw Anime books and instead took references exclusively from Naruto and Bleach.
Ah, a man of class
Probably wise.
ah two of my most fav anime's that really got me invested other than inuyasha, was my first one i watched but didn't really get invested in it due to how young i was when it came out even naruto when it first came out fillers kinda killed it for me for awhile until 2017 of July when i gave it another chance just finished in August of last year that show was long but really good, bleach am waiting to get back into when ttybw arc gets animated
When I was little I stumbled across Rosario + vampire and being the innocent bean I was completely missed the sexual harem aspect of it. Just drew all the characters from it because I thought they were so pretty and wanted to be just like the loIi bc she was so smart she was in HIGH SCHOOL even though she was 12!!!!! Lmao
Since I was/am a furry I'd just trace over Pokémon or look up manga animals on dragoart.com lol
Gotta love it when the "tutorial" doesn't give details just like..
1. Draw a circle
2. Add details
3. Done!
If I were to give a tutorial:
This line
Then this line
This shape thingy
Triangle-ish curvy shape
Wavy time
LiNe
LiNe
More lines
This squiggle
Done!
If you can't draw a circle, just do the whole drawing first then start erasing!
That's what l got when l googled how draw anime
@@gjk-arts5855 Fr explaining it is so hard and for what
basically: 1) draw a circle 2) draw the rest of the owl
Lavender to the book:
"We meet again at last. The circle is now complete. When i left you i was but the learner. Now i am the master."
Omg I love this comment
@@candiedrainbows-4107 same
This comment deserves more attention than it actually has
LavenderTowne: "I would say her _hairline_ is a real problem-"
Me, looking at her: Wait-
I love how this has no replys-
Sakura Clouds smh beans
I just noticed her hair line-
Forget the hair. WHERE ARE HER LEGS!?!?!?
The girl with the gun's hair looks SO much like her entire body was just scaled down in Photoshop and stuck underneath it. Hilarious
Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i see it now lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
omg I see it
Time stamp lmao?

If that was what actually happened, it's probably because she was drawn too big, but when she was scaled down, they forgot her hair. Lmao-

omg no cause that’s literally so true I started with anime LMAO
@@stellaanimals Same lol
Fax 💀
for real my art teacher hated the anime kids in class bc some of us couldn't draw anything but anime...but ultimately I'm glad that my teacher tried to force me out of my comfort zone and expand my abilities
I wouldn't say that for me specifically. Here are the biggest Fandoms I am in at the moment:
Pretty Cure (Japanese anime, biggest fandom)
Taylor Swift's Fandom (Real life person, middle fandom)
The Owl House (American animated TV show, last big fandom)
I don't want to Draw The Owl House a lot, and I cannot draw (a.k.a. trace and then show 6 people in detail about how it isn't my art) Taylor Swift without taking super long. Plus, Pretty Cure has so much fun with their designs! So for me, it's either Trace kinda terribly or draw in my Aristotle, which isn't anime but is also terrible.
Duh, guys. That wasnt hair, it was a helmet. That's why it was so big and didn't get affected by physics.

I feel like everyone remembers those books from their childhood even though they never actually bought them
my school had some how to draw animals books which i remember using. it didn't make my art better, though
I own 5 Christopher Hart How to draw Manga books.....
I had the book for comic strips and it was pretty okay and was more his forte than books like the manga stuff.
For some reason, I remember this book
I bought some at the Scholastic book fair. yeah, any American kids remember that? lmaoooo
BRO THAT BOOK WAS AT MY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
I WAS REVERED AS THE ART KING BECAUSE I TRACED OVER EVERYTHING
BR U H \

That book is in the library at my school right now. I took it off the shelf actually thinking it was going to be helpful. I was greatly disappointed, to say the very least.
Keebo!!!
BRUH I JUST CHANGED MY PFP FROM KOKICHI LMAO
nish
There’s a lot of danganronpa here, huh
I’m just gonna mention just two things:
1. I’m not sure if this was on purpose or not, but you forgot the crown in the second drawing.
2. Can we just talk about the legs of the third drawing in the book?
You did a great job! I just wasn’t sure if you forgot to draw the crown or not since you didn’t mention not drawing it {on purpose}!
H O T D O G L E G S :'D
L e g n u b s
she originally made a sketch of the crown but decided not to put it in if you look at it
I thought they were just trying to make a smaller picture, but the outlined curve on the bottom makes me think otherwise. It makes it look like she's an amputee.
For the third one in the book, my mind registers it perfectly fine because of the simpler style... at a glance
But then it looks like someone trying to escape a hospital after a surgery went wrong and she's mad-
“The realm of manga, which allows for such things as Yu-Gi-Oh characters”
I love you girl, please never change.
I've never been so offended by something I 100% agree with
Lavender stop dissing the hair, they're obviously wearing specialized helmets to protect their microscopic heads.

Okay but can we all take a moment to appreciate how wholesome and sweet the princess looks? Like ma'am, you said you wanted to give her a personality and you have succeeded.
i liked that one too! she looks like she would be a very sweet, kind ruler. i can imagine her strolling around on some days taking time to chat with some of her people in her spare time
@@vonKasa yes, I liked that drawing

S N to be fair, he has gotten a lot better. I have one of his newer books, ‘Drawing Anime - Amazing Girls’ and it has helped me develop my more anime-esque style (ignore the pfp lol, that’s an alt style of mine). I think he was just barely maturing in the ‘How to draw’ bit at the time of making the book, and possibly still a beginner at more anime styles at the time (which I can’t fault him for) and possibly just had more experience in western styles, hence why his newer work is much more advanced in terms of anime/manga styling lol
@@chloescreations8410 fair enough, I guess. Though I've heard that those drawings are actually from other artists? I don't really know though, I'm not particularly invested in Chris Hart lore

He’s just a troll lol
@@trol_8889 :>
Maybe he was trying to simplify his art so it's easier for kids to draw...?
@@sunset.magician Oh yeeeeaaaaaah uwu
Stephanie Hart Those amazing ones are drawn by other artists
Why does everything in the book look out of proportion yet it’s trying to help you with proportion?🤣🤣
artssy chu I agree, though it’ll probably take a little longer since she works as a freelance artist. But I would loved to see a how to draw book by her
thats what i was thinking
why sell a misleading book?
Perhaps they sold them to be purposely disproportional so that when a kid realizes “yo why my art look wack??” They just buy another book from the same company.
It was probably made to be a base for young artists to work with, but it ended up being worse quality than the emoji movie
Thats so ironic. I think its really supposed to be like coz if u look at distorted art, ur own art becomes less distorted lmao
I’m kind of confused to how I thought those books were like masterpieces when I was little, it made learning art kind of difficult for a while tbh because I thought this book was like FACT because “why would a book lie to me this is how to draw anime people”
same! I was just thinking that. I can't believe I tried to learn how to draw from those things. It is so apparent that they have no idea how to draw. especially the last one. The hands are terrible, the feet are straight up not there. The hair is laughable. Like, why publish a book on drawing if you are not good at drawing???
Our perception of art grows over time. Pieces that we once admired and inspired us to be better suddenly aren’t as great as we thought after we learned and our own style progressed.
@@kimchi8022 right? I thought this piece of art I saved a while ago was so good, but a couple months later when I came back to it for inspiration I realised I’d already progressed past it
6:15:
"...I don't know what happened with that girl's skirt, but... she really... has no pelvis..."
I think I'm good at drawing and then I see lavendertowne and think "In the next 15 minutes I have to be as good as her or else my career as a artist is never gonna happen"
no one:

Have you ever considered making a "how-to-draw" book? I personally think that'd be a pretty swish thing to see if that's something you'd want to do
Didn't Jazza do that?
@@pikapower_kirby but what if they eant one with haleys style
@@pikapower_kirby yeah? a lot of artists make how to draw books, why is it suddenly like only Jazza can do that?
@@pastelokami I wasn't trying to imply that. I was asking about it more so because it's really cool to me when passionate creators can pass on what they've learned to others. Tone is near impossible to convey through text, so I'm sorry if it seemed like I was implying Hayley couldn't make one.
@@kittenmimi5326 Sorry for not replying sooner- CZcams notifications are dumb, I guess. I think Hayley making a how-to-draw book with her style would be pretty neat, since she tends to draw less realistically and bends rules in ways other artists may want to learn to do themselves. I never meant to imply Hayley couldn't make one just because Jazza did, and if it came across that way then I'm sorry. I guess I wanted to mention another art CZcamsr who has created a how-to-draw book in case another artist here in the comments may have wanted something like that.

@animal800 You can watch the entire original series on Netflix, and also on yugioh.com (which is completely free with less ads than Crunchyroll). Yugioh.com also has GX, 5Ds, and Zexal, and Arc V is on Netflix. Yugioh.com claims to have Vrains as well but I can’t find it there. My favorite character is Mai, she’s just such a badass!
I never actually started out by an art book, I slowly grew to love it as time went on.
And when I was 11 in Christmas my gran gave me manga supplies where I tried to copy the anime artstyle on it and it grew into my art style today.
(It also taught me to draw hands)
When i was younger my Opa gave me a how to draw manga book out of the blue and that really improved my art skill and helped me learn to draw hands. though I never copied from it i read it from front to back like 40 times.

I can honestly say Hart has improved spectacularly from this in my own experience with his stuff
I literally have that exact same book on my bookshelf, and I remember when I was younger treating it like it was the best art in the world and trying to basically copy all of my artwork from it.
3:02
Me: "Those look like my shoulders."
LavenderTowne: "Shoulders like a linebacker."
Chris Hart’s drawing books are an absolute fail, even now. I remember reading a book he made on how to make and draw anime characters and it was honestly awful. For the school genre (which is really the only genre he properly touched on) he basically just gave you a set of cliche characters and acted as if that was a guide on how to create a school setting story. He also gave you a little thing for body proportions which was okay if it wasn’t literally just a template telling people to redraw the same body and face with nothing but height differences. It can be helpful to newer artists and definitely inspire some young artists into the world of oc making and creating stories it really isn’t good information especially for a £20/26$ book. I’m not sure about the other newer books, but I can’t imagine them being good.
The newer ones are kinda better I guess I bought one at micheal’s
26$ book...?
i learned how to draw people out of a fashion template how-to from five below...
The only sorta decent books he has are the ones that are about anatomy and generally have a more western style
Some one I knew let me borrow one because they thought my art was bad because they were comparing it to the book, even me at nine years old could tell that they were really bad.
@@novimamovies1268 that moment when the bar is set so low the standards get reversed
When you’ve read “every” manga how to draw book to the TEA but draw semi realism 🙋♀️👌
I draw semi-realism and realism (not hyper realism, just moderate realism)
But sAME
I remember seeing these books when I was young and I loved them and they helped me. Then I gave up on art moved to a small town met my friends they got me into art again and I started to notice how trash I was then I got better and fixed a lot over like the coarse of 3 years, ahh good times...

Im glad the 'how to draw manga' book that inspired me when I was younger didn't look like that, damn
same. I had a later edition of a Chris Hart book that looks *vastly* different to the older ones I’m seeing people trash. When I first watched this video, I was confused on why those books were considered suspicious...and then I saw the art 💀
me too, thank god..i got psicom's anime tutorial drawing books....as a filipino.
I remember I originally started drawing on my own without any books. Then I discovered a book very similar to this and tried to use it, but then my art actually just got worse. :') It hadn't exactly been good before, either, but I eventually improved.
I spent a lot of time staring at anime screenshots on Google Images back after that, I think that that contributed to both my drawing style and the fact that I am now a hopeless weeb.

The thing is, she's wearing a skirt, as a princess.

For her skirt to be that skinny with padding, the would have to have literally a stick.

Unrelated, but wow. Even between your art in your videos a few years ago and now, there's been a lot of improvement in how you make your lineart and your color choices! I had a few different how to draw manga books as a kid, too - I've been wanting to revisit some of the old lessons, so I hope my Mom's kept them around somewhere. Here's hoping, lmao. This is awesome!
Damn, I remember when I was younger, in like 4 grade I was trying to learn how to draw and my mom got me a Christopher hart book. I treated this book like it was the Bible followed it to the end. Even though I think the book is terrible I still think it influenced my art a lot and I still use a couple of the techniques.
I think I know what one your talking about! I had it in 5th grade and it didn’t really help me at all. and it’s comng apart really easily for how much it cost
*I remember these- Everyone wanted one*
Ok I must know if the movie she watch was a portrait of a lady on fire
A movie set in France in the 1700???? That’s a portrait of a lady on fireeee. I need to see itttt
I think so! And you definitely should see it, I saw it just the other day and it was AMAZING
Amanda B. I would see it but I’m not old enough -^- I really want to see it xd
you guessed it!!!
@@LavenderTowne I knew it!
3:30 that’s jimmy neutron’s ancestor! Show her some respect!
Oh my god I have this book! It was the first how-to draw book I ever bought (I have many but I never use them lol). I used to look at the illustrations and tell myself “one day I’ll be this good”: I was like 10 so the drawings in the book were very fascinating to me and much higher than my level. I would say my drawing level’s increased a lot since then and I probably draw much better now but I felt very nostalgic when I saw this video since I remember using this book a lot when I was young XD
The nostalgia is coming back from when I started drawing, it’s awesome to know that someone else started from a tutorial book as well. I love your channel Lav, 💕💕
"in which case. Dang girl, that's a thicc head!"
😂🤣 I loved that part! ❤️
Also Lavender idk if you'll ever see this, But if you do. I just want you to know that you are one of my biggest inspirations! And every time I see you post a video of you drawing I get SUPER inspired!
YOU. ARE. ABSOLUTELY. AMAZING.
I remember buying that book when I was younger! The good old days lol.
Yes
I remember learning to draw using those old Christopher Hart books. I know the art style was already out of date when I was able to get ahold of the books, but I think the simplistic art was a pretty good place to start. I went from drawing stick people to drawing stick-shaped humanoids. :')
Why do I feel that Haley's voice is SOOOOO calming? I sound creepy, but when I watch her vids before bed, I sleep right away. It's just a nice sound to listen to. (This is so unrelated.)
I love how the princess ones head looks like an upside down egg
I think it was drawn by somebody who heard of the description "heart shaped face" and ran with it without double checking or thinking.
Chris Hart's later how to draw books are sooo much better, obviously. I love how even professional, published artists had to start somewhere and improve!
most of the art isn't his, it's drawn by other artists. He has improved, but a lot of the art in his later books are outsourced
All the beautiful actually competent art in his books are outsourced. Theres usually a credits list at the end detailing the artist and the page of the art...at least it used to be like that I havent touched one of these books since 2OO7
Yeah I have one of the 2018 books and judging from his youtube, none of the art is his. It's a good enough book tho
@@hhh-bu3qj oh wow! I had no idea. That's pretty disappointing!
nobody:
these girls' hair: *I will define the laws of gravity*
This video reminded me why I love LT's videos--it's like each one is a trip down memory lane on how I (and perhaps most of us) started out drawing and the hobbies we had, like the text adventure games we played and the anime and shows we watched growing up.
3:26 That large hairstyle could actually have some historical roots in the wigs popular during renaissance/baroque era. You can see it in a lot of this in european fairy tale inspired movies, heck even Disney's Mallificent (when she was old/ was the antagonist) had this hairstyle. But maybe I'm overthinking this. I probably am.
i love how she laughs when she reads the weird patreon names :))
