Go to the library and pick up some of the many books on drawing anime and cartoon characters.





As to the shaking... quit drinking? :}





...You'll just have to practice.How to draw a body like anime figure?
First off, all my drawing instructers at the art college I go to tell me to first, learn how to draw the ACTUAL proportions of the human figure first, before you can learn to distort them.


Learning to draw the human figure will later help you know what to distort and exaggerate (for example: if you're trying to make an anime character)


It's very important and there's many books in the library to assist you.


And to answer your question:


Anime characters tend to have longer torsos and longer, slimmer legs than actual proportions.





As for shaking, don't try to draw clutching the pencil and drawing tight lines. It's easier to draw loose strokes coming from dropping the shoulder


And try using basic shapes to draw better hands and feet


(ex: the foot is made up of a rectangular block and a cylinder for the ankle..)


and if still confused...books always helped me
U justzzz stay relaxxx n concentrate,than u think about that body do u want 2 draw.I'm also like 2 draw 2,i dont know 2 draw face... only body.Ualso can try 2 listen 2 music n draw.Can i know how old are you??? i'm 13.Good luck ;D
I too am an amateur at drawing, but I have some experience with anime/manga.





Let's see.





1. For the shakiness of your hands, it could be because you are gripping the pencil too tightly or at an uncomfortable position. Try different grips and try loosening your hold.





2. For destroying the paper, I'd say that you're pressing down much too hard. To be honest, it's usually more beneficial to draw lightly with loose strokes. Don't mind too much if the picture comes across as sketchy. Invest in some good pens to ink in the best parts of the picture. The picture can be cleaned up very nicely, so long as you use light pencil strokes.





3. For the body, I'd recommend reference books, like many of the other users have. Considering you're asking for anime like figures, I'd recommend either buying or borrowing the How to Draw Manga series. The books usually cost between $18.00 - $30.00 depending on the bookstore or company that's selling them. It might be best to borrow them from a library or a friend if possible.





If you hope to draw the female figure well, then they have many books that can help. However, they only have one book that specializes in the male figure.





-Bishoujo: Pretty Girls, basically young women





-Bishoujo Around the World: How to show ethnic differences in young women





-Male Characters: The only book in the series dedicated to drawing men/boys.





Other than books, you can search online for how to draw manga or how to draw anime tutorials. You'd be surprised at how many people would go so far as to post instructions on line. The thing is finding good tutorials. Some you may wish to consider looking into are jdillon's tutorials at the manga university website, bakaneko's tutorials, and a few others that would take to long to list.





4. As for drawing feet, I myself am trying to improve that particular skill. Again, it's best to work from references. If you can just find a lot of pictures of feet (all taken from different angles) and practice drawing them. Having some one model for you in real life really helps to. Basically, anime/manga like distortions are drawn from real life figures/proportions.





Well, I hope that helps. All you can do now is try out our suggestions and just keep practicing.





Good Luck!
