Here is a great master at work. I love how he does backgrounds and for those who are not the best artists this should help.
You cannot draw but want to make a manga or anime?
Well why not try doing things the old fashioned way? By tracing. What tracing? That is horrible! Why would I trace someone elses work?
You don’t have to do that silly. You can trace using references you create. There are many programs you could use to setup a shot and then trace it.
You can make your own characters in 3d and then use them to trace.
Here is an example of creating your own characters.
If you ever wanted to make cool 3d cinematics this will show you a few tricks and tips. This is how they work!

This one qualifies.
Michel Victor has some cool work.
He has extensive tutorials on how to add animation to a still drawing. You don’t have to make the whole anime frame by frame. Why not do a manga with a little bit of pizzaz to it.
