Hi people, I have a bit of a dilemma here...
I'm starting my first serious manga comic thingy and one of my characters in gonna be in a wheelchair, but I can't find any good references on the Internet. I can find some okay pictures, but I don't want it to look too "real", you know? And the pictures are really complicated... I can't find any good refs that are actually drawn/manga-tized, which would be easier. Can anybody help me at all?

Thanks

well I would not suggest finding a manga-style reference, since you'll just copy it. it is good practice to look at real photos of the things you want to draw, then use your own imagination to simplify it into a style you can draw easily/quickly for your manga.

To find a reference, I highly recommend starting with a simple google search:

Yeah, that's where I tried before, and I found one the other day I think I might use. That's a good point about copying, though. Thanks Marcello, and wish me luck!
