Eva's Drawings. ^^

[Kirei Shijin]

I'm a beginner at drawing (manga specifically) I'm used to drawing landscapes, animals and objects but I decided to try drawing people for a change. It's more difficult than I thought. But still, I'd appreciate it if you gave me some constructive criticism. It'll definitely help me out, thanks! Also, sorry for the bad quality. :P

1st manga drawing ever: (As you can probably already tell.) :P

Gaara from Naruto

Second attempt at drawing Gaara: (Ignore the coloring, my scanner really messed it up.)






Before Computer Editing:


After:


Ryoki and Hatsumi Narita from the manga Hot Gimmick.




Yamato & Honoka from Suzuka

[bee.]

the actual drawing is good so far, but
i'd recommend cleaning it up a little, the cleaner the better i think..
it looks grainy and the red cracky thingies don't make it look better, it takes away from the whole drawing
the nose looks a lil weird o.o
look up some tutorials for nose drawing, it's pretty tricky.

overall though, it's not bad, but theres room for improvement.

draw more !

ya i agree side cutting doesn't match to the shades and little more bright and sketch with light black not that dark it will be good then
keep drawing

[Kirei Shijin]

Thanks guys. Drawing a good nose has always been a problem for me but I'll work on it. Plus I need a scanner because the quality of this is so bad. lol

I Love the final version of it! You're a really good drawer! Draw more!

of course you will, with practice everything will come the big things are to never give up and never forget about the basics. What I mean is don't try to rush into to complicated a drawing before you are ready. i don't "draw" but I "design" which I guess you could say is drawing but in an entirely different style, and I did take some art lessons. If you want my critique i'd say you've got to work on your proportions, (I don't know exactly what they are for anime but i've seen enough anime to know that there are certain set proportions for certain anime styles) and work on your penstrokes (now a lot of that could be just from the scanning) They seem to be in general a bit too heavy. Please don't get discouraged, and it's just my opinion, but I look forward to seeing your progress

Thanks for the advice. It's true, I do draw a bit too heavy, I really like outlining everything a little more than necessary. xD But given time, I'm sure manga drawing won't be as difficult for me. Maybe I should stick to chibi for now, those do seem a bit easier to draw then go to the more difficult things.

The last one you drew was really an improvement Keep it up ^-^

[Kirei Shijin]

Thanks Kirako.

[LIGHTcameraACTION!]

Last one = MAJOR IMPROVEMENT. You should be very very proud of yourself. And from this point on you'll only get better. Remember that.

The second Gaara picture is wonderful by the way, too bad the colors seem off. Other than that body looks just about right. Face might be a little off though. Still love it, keep it up.
