Problems Drawing Anime/Manga?!
Question: I am into drawing anime and manga, but I have hit an impass in trying to get my character's hair to look right. I tried looking up techiques in Google, but so far I haven't found anything particularly useful. Can anyone reccomend some good books or websites to help with this. I don't need any begining technique sites or books. It just this agrivating problem with drawing hair that I need help with.

For the manga books, I would recommend the following:
? ULTIMATE MANGA LESSONS Vol. 1: Drawing Made Easy
? ULTIMATE MANGA LESSONS Vol. 3: ULTIMATE MANGA LESSONS

I found the how to draw manga books useful.
I usually practise by trying to copy the style of manga artists I really like. The more you do it the better you'll become.
Also at the beginning its best not to try to put too much detail and lines in the hair drawings. It can make it look crowded. I only started to add more detail recently once I knew how to do it correctly.
