The question is, How else do you make anime without drawing it? -.-

it's a mixture of drawing by hand and computer (effects, lip movement, etc.)

Anime stands for animation and animation is drawn, so no, you can't.


Technically you can....if you spend hours in photoshop, you can make an anime drawing move. XD

In art class at school I mostly did anime related things and so did a few of my classmates.

Technically "anime" has movement while manga is still, so maybe not but most people call it "anime" anyway.

Here's how you make anime :
  1. Make a drawing or sketch of a character ( either hand drawn or digital illustration )
  2. Use some professional software to turn that drawing into vector graphics
  3. Use that vector drawing to make the character movements and render each frame

In modern anime most of the backgrounds are mostly done in 3DCG. They just place the anime character frames over it.

That's how you make anime! ( I never did it myself )

No, unless tracing something counts, I can copy something I'm looking at but I can't just create something by randomly drawing.

How do you think the studios/artists design their character?

Your question has too many possible meanings.
1) Yes, anime is indeed drawn. Somewhere in Japan, lots of people sit around painstakingly drawing anime. So the phrase "draw anime" is valid.
2) A lot of people can draw anime-style. I can show you some of my works, but they suck.
3) Anybody has legal right to make animation. The maker can even profit from it in some way. If you plan to make some intellectual property into anime, you have to get the owner's approval first. Of course, you can always break the law and make it anyway, and the owners are likely to overlook it in a lot of cases.
4) If you are not making animation in Japan, it doesn't count as anime. Even if it is really similar in a lot of aspects, like Avatar the Last Airbender.

Well, I can do it - draw randomly and end up with a character.

With some high-end expensive computer software for animators.
