    How do people get the shading right?
    Community Answer
    Focus on where the light will be coming from. For example, if the light is coming from the left, the shading would be on the right. If the light is in front, there would be a shadow behind him. It also depends on the angles.

    Which type of coloring method (colored pencils?) should I use?

    Community Answer
    Prismacolor is a very good brand for colored pencils, and a colorless pencil can be used as a blender. Typically, when drawing like this, you can use markers for the shadows and highlight effects. It is a good idea to get accustomed to using all kinds of material such as pastels and maybe even digital design.

    Community Answer
    In order to position your figure in a certain stance, get used to structure models (generally stick figure lines) for a basic foundation. If you are drawing manga, the muscles are more symmetrical than in real life. Hence, the limbs and such will be much easier to position.

    Start by drawing a frown wrinkle where the center of his eyes will be. From there, add angled eyebrows that extend from each side of the wrinkle. Make the pupils of his eyes below the eyebrows and then draw the bottom and side of his eyes. Just below the frown wrinkle, add a small nose. Then, add a crooked smile for Goku's mouth directly below the nose.

    Start by drawing Goku's face so you can have a focal point to work from. Then, use lines to outline his face and his distinctive hair. From there, you can add his neck and shoulders and his large muscles in the center of his chest. Add lines for his vest and the top of his shirt, then work to fill in his dark hair.

    Goku's symbol is the personal emblem of Kaio, which is the King of Worlds. It's a combination of two kanji: one that means "World" and another that means "King." The 2 symbols are squished together vertically to create 1 image.
