How to BAM's video: Difference Between A Pro Artist And Me - HTB MAILBAG

There are many really good artists on places like Deviantart, but how do you get to that level? Find out the answers from Mustayaki and our special guest of this week: Jamie Lynn Lano, - she's been the mangaka assistant of Konomi Takeshi and worked on the Prince of Tennis. Click here for the full episode: (still uploading) New to How to BAM's: 'MAILBAG!' ?? Mailbag is the weekly show where we answer the questions from our viewers about making manga. This week we answered the following mangaka questions: Stefan Wacker writes: Hey How to Bam, I just recognized that you uploaded a lot of videos and I decided to watch all of them soon :) What I´d like to ask is whether there is something like a difference in how easy people learn to draw :) I´m 17 and I spend quite a lot of time on studying (and drawing after) anatomy books and manga as well as reality, and I end up drawing for a good hour in average each day. However, looking at all those people on Deviantart and Co makes me a little sad since many out of there are out of my league. Akito from (Bakuman) once said: "I´m a man and I want to make it big." I can pretty much identify with him so I´m quite frustrated that I cannot surpass the Others... So my question is: Where´s the difference between those people and me? What can I do to raise the speed of the learning process? I never believed in something like a genius but now I´m asking myself whether there are some of them. I hope you are able to understand this e-mail since English isn´t my mother tongue :D I´m grateful to you sacrificing your time to read my question :) Anyways, keep up the awesome work. I´m now looking forward to a nice video each week ;) Greetings from Germany Stefan If you also have a question about making manga, you can send it to: info@howtobam.com (Try to keep it to one question bammers ;-) ) HTB YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/how2bam HTB TWITTER: @How2bam https://twitter.com/How2bam HTB FACEBOOK: /Howtobam https://facebook.com/Howtobam HTB OFFICIAL WEBSITE: http://www.howtobam.com MUSTAYAKI TWITTER: @Mustayaki https://twitter.com/Mustayaki JAMIE LYNN LANO WEBSITE: http://www.jamieism.com JAMIE TWITTER: @jamieism https://twitter.com/jamieism JAMIE FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/jamie.lynn.lano
