Over time, I notice that many readers of Suki Desu have a strong interest in learning how to draw anime and manga characters. Many visitors have purchased the drawing course by Mayara Rodrigues, and many had a positive experience. However, Mayara's course is a bit limited when it comes to creating your own manga and comic stories.
I was happy to learn that the team from the site Heróis no Papel created a course focused not only on teaching anyone without experience to draw, but the main objective is to help you create your own manga or comic book. Whether in Japanese or American style, you will learn to do everything and not just characters.
For those who don't know the site Heróis no Papel, it is a directory of manga and comics made for Brazilians. By accessing this site, you will find several works of Brazilian origin to read. This shows the strength of our market of artists, screenwriters, and illustrators from Brazil. In addition, the site offers many tips for illustrators.
The goal of the Heróis no Papel team is to increase the number of Brazilians who create their own works. Therefore, they created a course to raise the number of Brazilian quadrinhistas and mangakas called: ”Aprendendo a Desenhar do Básico Até Criar Sua Primeira História Em Quadrinhos”.

My friend Junior on the team still says more content is being made to add value and help people.

It's worth noting that anyone can be capable of drawing, but don't think it will be something simple; it requires dedication!

In the second module of the course, you will already learn to draw the characters and have a good understanding of human anatomy. You will be able to draw the face and create poses, which is often one of the most complicated things for those who try to draw their characters from mangas and animes.
