NickelbackLuver · April 2008

I believe I have improoved since the last time I posted a pick on here, but, I'm still not that great >.< Anyway, anything that could possibly help, will be greatly appreciated ^^ You can tell me its terrible, so long as you give me a reason why, and suggestions

*pops in* I was lazy to type. xD <img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc278/Skaitie/nickel2.png"; alt="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc278/Skaitie/nickel2.png"; class="bb-image" /> Please tell me you can read my aweful writing. I am a lefty so I smear stuff. xD And my markers were drying out.

It looks good so far Nickel! And the paper cut off on the left. It says, "Whoop! That's All!" Tehe *pops out*

Thanks Tarn

I'll try to fix those things. :P With everything pointed out, I notice it a little more XD

Tarn,compared to my handwriting,yours is fancy >.> Sometimes I cant even read it

Colored the eyes& hair now. I also need help with coloring...especially on the hair XD

UnknownDreamland · April 2008

Ooh! What program are you using? I'm not a big one for hair, but I love my smudge tool. What I'd do, is do many strokes with a thin brush, then smudge it with a thin brush in strokes. That's just my view. I don't like to cell shade, if that's what you want. If it is what you'd want, I'd go on dA and look. ^^

NickelbackLuver · April 2008

Im using Corel. Ive looked up tutorials for hair coloring on DA, but they all look like they take a lot of time XD So, when I have a better picture someday, I'll try one...but I didnt want to waste my time on something Im not too proud of :P Because, there is a really good one on there, but it takes many layers/concentration. That, and I have to use a mouse :? Which makes things difficult XD I'll try what you do though, and see if I can figure it out. Thanks for the suggestion

She's lovely overall...I just had to tweak her a bit... :twisted: <img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i136/oh_hi/OutlineAnime1.jpg"; alt="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i136/oh_hi/OutlineAnime1.jpg"; class="bb-image" />

NickelbackLuver · April 2008

lol, funny editing XD I totally agree with everything you've said

I tried to fix the hair a little bit when I colored it, but...eh. I'll just practice drawing hair maybe? :P The way you parted the hair was nice, I'll definatly keep that in mind. Lol, the body thing XD It does look goofy, but... Im not moving onto drawing a body until I can draw a head decently

Next time I'll add shoulders at least, so it doesnt look...weird. Thank you very much

â™¥Andreaâ™¥ · April 2008

No problemo...she's very good, you just need to practice a bit, it's much better than my first few tries...

PishPosh · April 2008

*not trying to sound like i'm all that xD* But they definitely need some work, and to help you go to any tutorials online and study the facials. Once you think you got the basics, draw a manga and compare it to the others, if you think it looks weird compared to the others, try to find mistakes.

Goldy · April 2008

do you use references? i've learned to not be ashamed that i use references for most everything i draw, because it really helps to learn how to draw things correctly. if you go ahead and draw things how you think they are, then you'll never know how to draw them how they actually are. if that makes sense, haha

<img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/lakeowl/AASHAY.jpg"; alt="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/lakeowl/AASHAY.jpg"; class="bb-image" /> Well like I said you are getting the Anime style just need a few improvments. I am not the best nor worse at drawing Anime but with the pointers I said I think you will do just fine. Just draw heads, eyes, and diffrent styles till you find one that you work with. Have fun!

NickelbackLuver · April 2008

I drew another one, I'll have to upload it...because it looks much better than this one, after I took all of your advice, and studied Bleach a little *though it looks nothing like any of the bleach characters, so dont ask how I came up with it xD* I'll try to post it later tonight :P Thank you all very much for the advice. Im not exactly a good artist, but at least I'm trying?

Young_Native · April 2008

Yeop atleast you are trying and if this is your first time drawing anime then it looks pretty good! I started drawing since I was like 5 and watched pokemon lol. Can't wait to see the improvments :]

TMgirl · April 2008

She is gorgeous! I can't wait to see the finished product!

NickelbackLuver · April 2008

New One completed ^.^

Young_Native · April 2008

Wow that is a big good improvement Nickel

. The hair looks much better and nicer. The ears can do some improvment but hey I am not good at ears either XD. Your nose looks better in my opinion also. The face is slightly long but with a few touch ups that can be changed good. Neck looks better too

Overall I see very good improvments. If you want I can help somehow with Anime drawings, you can view my post a little. I am not the best like I said but if it helps to look how i draw then thats great!

Good work Nickel, good work!

Hehe, me again, with my fun little way of editing [and the color was actually working on paint this time so I could do it ion red] <img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i136/oh_hi/lineartsketch2.png"; alt="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i136/oh_hi/lineartsketch2.png"; class="bb-image" />

NickelbackLuver · April 2008

Always helpful

Heh, yes... I was afraid of the ears, and if her hair wasnt put up, I would have definatly made it so I didnt have to draw them xD Body...was simply put there...because I didnt want a floating head xD. But, I guess its good I put it there, because I'd have to do it at some point. Your suggestions will definatly be helpful, and when I either edit this one (which will be much easier to edit than the other one, so I probably will), or draw another one, they will be taken into consideration

Thank you very much, its appreciated :P

Howdy, Stranger!
