Crockman’s Lair learn to draw manga

Welcome dudes !!!
Its has been four years since I first publish the page and there has been an
enourmous amount of support given to me for my crusade of giving away free drawing lessons .So for all those people who belived in the Lair….Thanks dudes !!!!!. I hope that this new update will be the beginning of a new era for the Lairman and his Lair. For beginning our manga classes all we need is a couple of pencils ( HB,2B ) a bunch of bond paper (newspaper is also good and cheaper or you can use any other) , a good eraser and lot of imagination. Later we will discuss what kind of brushes, inks and other things we will need to makereally neat manga drawings. For now consider this a place for sharing tips and technology about anything that has to do with drawing ,specially MANGA .

For our study we will divide our lessons in eight basic parts:

In the way we advance ,I will include things about Architecture, Animation,, Music, Movies ,Etc. All the information here is also available in Spanish so if you want to see them thejust hit the link .If you want to send me drawings ,or exchange information feel free to write me to :

Boys and girls It’s MECHA TIME !!!

If there is one thing that reminds me my childhood is when I see those old Mazinger Z ,Gundam and.Daitarn 3 shows.During those days I used to draw all those robots and spacecrafts every time I had a piece of paper and a pencil in my hands. Boys and girls It’s MECHA

TIME!!!

Let´s start with a little bullshit of how mechas are classified.According to the great Kahuna sage KaluwakuTorpedo ,Mechas can be classified as follow:

Batloids:Those that had the form of the function that they serve for

Zooids:Those who have shapes of animals

Boys and girls It’s MECHA TIME !!!When I told you that understanding the geometry of the human shape will help you to draw mechas this is what I mean:

Having the geometriced shape of a human ,you can create a mecha by simply changing the proportion and volume of certain parts of the anatomy and addingthings like cables,spikes,visible machinery and anything that looks mechanical or gives your mecha a MASIVE and HI-TECH look.See that a lot of the mechas you see in cartoons are a mix of armored europeans knights, samurai armored warriors and american football players.

Note also the fact that you have to add big shoulder pads to give them that a strong look and slim legs to give them agility…
