How To Draw Yaoi Manga

Well, I am submitting a lesson on a very provocative drawing on characters that are part of the manga world. The tutorial that I will be putting up was done out of request and even though the characters are both male and they are both “together”, they came out pretty cool on the art aspect of their creation. I will now show you “how to draw Yaoi Manga step by step”. Now, I don't know too much about this manga category so I will not give you a detailed description for the first time ever. All I can tell you is that Yaoi is also called Shōnen-ai or in Japan as “Boys' Love” or “BL”. The concept was created by female authors and the reading was supposed to be for female readers. The lesson is laid out with multiple poses and positions. I know the very last one may be a bit uncomfortable for some of you but, that is what Yaoi is. I do apologize in advance if any of you feel offended in any way, shape, or form. When you learn “how to draw Yaoi manga step by step”, you will also be learning “how to draw manga drawing Yaoi”. Have a good time and remember, it's only art.

STEP 1.

Before we take a leap forward into the actual aspect of manga yaoi, we must learn the basics. The first rule is being aware of the different styles of mouths. There are numerous anime mouth styles. Pick one that most suits your taste and we’ll move on forward. My taste in mouths is the more realistic ones.

STEP 5.

In a common Yaoi story, there’s a male that’s shy and a male that’s aggressive and romantic. The aggressive male always makes the first move. The shy one is always the one that gets taken advantaged of. But, like I said, those characteristics are in the common Yaoi stories. Some artists make both characters aggressive and hardcore (Naruto and Sasuke.)
