My wife brought treasure back from the Philippines for my kids and me. She spent over a thousand Filipino pesos at a book store over there and apparently bought out the store’s entire supply of “How-to-Draw-Manga/Anime” (though the amount she spent is not so impressive when you realize the exchange rate for a Filipino peso is .025 of an American dollar). Anyway, I happen to love the Japanese anime-style cartoons. I have since I was a kid in the 60’s watching Astroboy in black and white on the old Motorola TV set. So, just as you would expect, I had to go on a drawing binge, copying ideas from the books, but putting my own spin on them.
It is not the first time I have gone on anime-drawing binges. Let me provide some proof of that from past posts;
So, there’s my original content for today. The day after the 4th of July, I am celebrating one of the ways that Japan conquered the United States after World War II. Yes, manga-style cartoons have far more kids carefully copying a cartoon style with big, cute eyes than probably ever tried to draw like Walt Kelly or Al Capp.

Oh, this are nice!
I do Manga drawing for years too.
Just for fun and usually in journals and diaries as practise.
Now, most of the times I do chibis because they are small & cute.
Lovely.
I am so glad you like like my little Paffooney babies. I like to draw chibis too, and I guess I will have to do a post about them too. I’ll get working on them right away!

Here’s an interesting old post that I can re-use to give myself a bit of a blogging break today.
