Hello! I am someone who aspires to some day make my own drawings for my LN I am creating. I intend to one day make it into a primary manga setting, and until then I am just tracing. I am starting with tracing due to the lack of artistic knowledge I have and the willingness to learn anatomy and physiology of character drawing later on. Here is my process of learning for now:
-Tracing (Completely outlining in a way)
-Sketch Tracing (Tracing without outlining/ looking at the picture instead)
-Sketching (Recreating the scene/ picture without looking at the picture.)
-Fan recreation (Recreating a character using their or my style)
-O.C. (When I actually can make my manga without help of others)

I use Clip Art Studio, and I do not have a pen (Meaning I use the mouse instead.)
Also, more personal, Becoming an electrical engineer in 2021!
Finally, trying to slowly learn Japanese.
