design your own anime character

Here's how to make your own anime/manga character!

1. Make sure you have a quiet work environment your favorite music or movie and lots of pencils erasers and lead.
2. Decide whether you want your character to be a boy or a girl.
3. Decide if you want them to have long hair or short hair, spiky or comfortable, wavy, curly, or straight, or maybe just plain unique!
4. Create a personal storyline to go with it. Or you could insert the character into a certain Manga you enjoy, that would then be a Rpc (role-playing-character). When making your own story, be sure to be as imaginative as you want!
5. Draw them! Make unique hair and clothes, have them have lots of charms, bracelets, piercings, tattoos, or lots of weapons hanging out of their pockets. They should have a theme. The first character I made up was named Kika Yugami, she was Jungle Girl. Her theme was wild and sassy. She had lots of ties on her arms and legs, a tank top and short skirt, long boots, and enormous swords. Be creative! A good website for drawing anime tutorials is MangaUniversity.com
6. Get them some personal information. They should have a name, age, theme, position in anime, favorite color/person/book/music/anime, etc., hair color, crush/boyfriend/girlfriend, best friend, birthday, prissy/tomboy/punk/emo/Gothic/sporty status, and blood type. (the types and meanings are listed below) All this information will pay off if you choose to make an anime series or something later.
7. Check out these blood types and meanings:
* O - Happy, open, caring, and energetic
* A - Chilled out, cool, caring, positive attitude
* B - Chilled out, cool, mean, negative attitude with an occasional glimpse of happiness
* AB - hyper! funny, positive thinking, energetic, cool, overall great person!
8. Choose their talents! They could be sporty, artistic, famous, wannabe, or whatever you want them to be. They could be a ballerina, like Mint Aizawa in Tokyo Mew Mew; they could be a rich, famous, over-all superstar like Zakuro Fujiwara, who's also from Tokyo Mew Mew, or they could be just plain weird like Spongebob Squarepants!
