The observer (the person who set the task ot drawing the boxes) would be expecting only to see what was asked for, that is, a square box. Nos. 6 to 8 exceed these expectations. You cannot say that nos. 6 to 8 are mistakes. In fact, each one is an effective clue that shows individualistic interpretation.

It is invaluable to give the drawing an element of surprise and incorporate extra information into it that would make it morę interesting. Of course, to do this you need to be able to sketch. But on top of that, you must also come up with an ingenious theme, character pose and design.

Although the character in nos. 9 and 10 is one and the same, you can see how they differ not only in design but also in personality It is a subconscious prerequisite in the reader's mind for main anime and manga characters to be attractive. It is what is expected By adding depth to their attractiveness, we can surprise the reader by surpassing their expectations It marks the first step when someone says your drawing is "good," but a real beginning when they say it is "great."

You can also draw in accordance with reader's expectations like in the coterie magazines.

For instance, looking at the boxes on the previous page, although the animator can draw up to level 8, he or she doesn't because readers are expecting to see a level-6 drawing. Similarly, an animator, instead of drawing a realistic illustration, draws manga with simple strokes and creates suitable characters such as the Simple deformed(SD)
