Nice! I think you're on the right track. Without sounding too much like a nitpicking ass-munch, here is a list of things you might consider before doing our collab, which will be on the Advanced board:

- Your facial proportions are pretty good overall but they could be better.
- The line work is a little scratchy and thick, consider tightening your line work a little.
- This portrait is sort of plain and lacks unique details, consider ref subjects with more form and expression in their faces.
- The canvas should be bigger, the height should be at least 550, I know, this one is just practice but keep that in mind for the Advanced collab.

I hope that helps and I hope I don't sound like a jerk.

Menyway (Jun 17, 2005)

No you don't sound like a jerk!!! Ok now i know what to look for in the refs.... thanks for more info Clox!!!!!

And the US army? >_>

He would definitly have to a get a haircut to be in the army.

Cordelia_Pink (Jun 25, 2005)

Looks good. The only thing that I'd complain about is the lips. I don't really like how thick it is. Nice background effect though.

Menyway (Jun 25, 2005)

Well.. i guess every artist is going to have at least 1 drawing that people dont really like!! Ohwell!! ^_^

Wow, this is way cool. I read your memo, I was too late it looks like but it looks like you're doing just fine, great work.

hideyourface (Jun 25, 2005)

really cool. although the colours and lines on the cup don't seem really finished, so it kind of interferes.

SC has some of the best facial expressions and fight scenes I've ever seen in anime, and incorporates parts of Japanese history into the stories in interesting ways.

edit: the voice acting in the dub on adult swim is terrible, though. find a sub.

hideyourface (edited Jun 25, 2005)

download a torrent of ittt. It's great. edo period in japan, with hip hop and other random things like graffiti and beat boxing samurai mixed in..

yeah, it's funny.

oh.. about facial expressions. I loove that part in the intro when mugen rubs his chin. It just looks really realistic and cool. And you all think Im crazy kthnx.

FLYING_SQUIRREL (Jun 25, 2005)

KENSHIN!!!! : O you havent seen samurai champloo!? its nly the coolest show eva any ways it plays on adult swim X3

Cliche

lycene (Jun 24, 2005)

Oi. Ok. Here it is, and then I'll shut up.

I don't generally like drawing anime. I find it far overdone and I think that people would be better off finding their own styles and developing them instead of just working in what's already done. Secondly, it is so sooo sooooo easy to fall into cliches (see drowning/lying down in pain and angst as above), and it is very difficult to do what has not been done before.

However, that said: I can and do admire some anime. There are some people who are so talented with the "formal" sort (I'm not sure what it really is called), who can get such depth and beauty detail into their art. Kudos to them.

Anyway, I'm going away tomorrow for three+ weeks and I wanted to do something before I left. This was quick and fairly easy (hate, hate hair), and I actually rather enjoyed it. Here is my (so far) list of cliches in this: 1. Pose (she's floating/drowning/lying down: note the hair, which brings me to) 2. Hair (spread out and curly behind her head like she has a stylist around everytime she falls down to help arrange it all) 3. Expression (closed eyes + open mouth = angst! angst! Or she's asleep. Something.) 4. The Necklace (why do so many anime characters have cross necklaces? Are they all devout Christians? Or is it just a trend?)

I plan on doing screentones later. Oh, and ignore the inking. I can't ink (among other things) to save my life.

Now with screentones!

Oh, and if this isn't Intermediate, please move it down to Beginner.

Please know that I am aware that there are different forms of anime, and that it is a huge collective term. But in general, I find that because it is so popular (and it is so for a reason--there are some very good examples of anime), people tend to just accept it instead of working on developing something of their own. It just seems to turn into a catchall sometimes. Hence, this.

HunterKiller_ (Jun 24, 2005)

Hideyourface: I will say something simple. In order to draw good cartoons, you must first learn the basics, and these basics include being able to draw the human form properlly.

hideyourface (edited Jun 25, 2005)

learning the proportions, and the basic body structure is needed, but I mean perfecting that, knowing the complete skeleton, and being able to draw all the facial features (being able to draw an actual real human in detail)

And again, all these people drawing other anime.. Since theres so many, do you really think they all actually want to be artists? It's mostly for fun.. And you're not likely going to be concerned about developing your own style when you're a beginner. for me, I tried/am trying to perfect masashi kishimoto's style, and then explore other styles. When I start displaying my stuff I'll try to distinguish myself from other artists.

I mean give the people a break.. most of the people drawing anime are beginners (and it's very easy to tell)

oikitsumaru (Aug 4, 2005)

sorry, I have no desire to join in the discussion about anime. XD Since its rather beside the point. But I would like to say that I really love the textures in your oekaki here. >_< I'm a nerd for texture since I don't know how to do them.

My hat's off to you
