I was wondering knew of a place that showed you how to draw charecters from the "Wolf's Rain" anime series?? Any links or anything like that would be great!!
Also im getting photoshop and a graphics tablet in a couple weeks so any pointers on how to draw charecters from the series with those tools would be great also!!

my advice:
forget drawing other people's stuff.
where's the fun in that?
be creative do some original work. You'll be much more proud of characters you create yourself.
Develop your own style.
The more original the better.
trust me.

I can only offer this advice since I totally agree with Chazz: Do as I did at first. Trace. Trace like you would NOT BELIEVE. Then, slowly manipulate what thou didst traceth. Soon, you'll be able to draw complete pictures on your own that have the distinct style of the anime of your choice yet a little of your own style mixed in. Practice more and get good critisism. Change what needs to be changed and you'll be able to draw. Hey, my advice may be weird but that's how I did it and if you want just look at my pics. They're some under Character design and Other. But don't just copy. Start out that way but change it. Make it your own. I used to draw Utena Style, now I'm my own self! Copying's just that: copying. One's own style is art. (jeez, I'm starting to sound like someone I know...)

*Grabs stake from heart* GAH! Someone said TRACE! Double GAH!
Oh, that was too much. Well, I'm not one to support tracing at all, not if your going to wish to draw any character from any seriers in any other pose other then what your gonna find in screen shots and existing art. However, if your happy with it, well, then, not much i can say.
However, if your not, first off study the art like a madman, and learn what gives the show it's distinct style. How the eyes are drawn (Wolfs Rain tends to have wide big eyes), how different faces are shaped, different body types, how are clothes drawn, things like this. Then, try to mimic (Without tracing) any existing art you may find, and begin to train your eye and your pencil (or pen) strokes to flow in the same direction and line weight as the art you are studying. In time, you'll find yourself doing it naturally when you try to draw anything, but only if you are really committed.

I don't mean anything by this post, and apologize full heartedly if I offended you. Also, I don't think we've meet before, so I'm sorry again if I gave a bad first impression 
Hope were cool! 
God Bless,

*laughs* Oh Archan, don't stake me but I did trace stuff before.
Because I couldn't afford some colored Disney books and manga, I borrowed 'em from friends and traced them out for my future references. I could have photocopied them but I didn't want to bother my dad with that.
Tracing is OK with me if you're a beginner but I strongly advise you to start drawing your own stuff as soon as possible.
Whatever skills I have obtained today are simply due to a lot of practice and dedication. ^__^
