Use tools which will help you draw better...

Working on Shonen Jump Manga competition.

Here's the link if you don't already know it... mangaaward.shonenjump.com/en - the dateline is Oct 1st.

The page you're looking at is the Na-Me (sketch page), so it's not a final drawing. It's my way of laying out a story to see if it works, and if it doesn't, I change it... The little pink mannequin is something my mentor gave me as a souvenir from Japan. It's tiny (8½cm tall when standing up)... but more useful than I'd ever imagine. You can pose it so much better than the wooden mannequin I have (32½cm tall).
