I like this. When I first saw it I missed the face in the sky. But, after reading the comment, it makes alot more sense and I love the face of the sun-air. The only thing is they both look male to me. Is the water supposed to be female?

Just amazing KO. I really like those clouds, especially where it transitions from gray to peachy-yellow. I like how you drew his nose too : ]

If your heart is having trouble there's no hope for any of us. I'd travel many miles by bus to see an exhibition of your work. And I didn't go to see the Picasso in Vancouver, only 35 miles away. I did drive 1,000 to see the Chagall in San Francisco though...

Soldier Inuyasha

well. I hate this because you just made inuyasha worse. ;o

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!! ^_^

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 Little Challenge

nekodesu (Jun 24, 2005)

I'm just putting this in intermediate just so that I have space for later revisions. Anyways, this is a challenge for me since I never tried drawing an actual face in realism. I'm using a reference from a magazine. I'm trying to get it look as exact as possible but it's not going too well. =\ But let's see how this is going to turn out.

Coolness! youre' getting better and better and this realism gig :3

hideyourface (Jun 25, 2005)

lips are too big, and the nose should be getting thinnner upwards. The chin also looks kind of pointy. pretty good though.

HunterKiller_ (Jun 25, 2005)

Very good attempt. Doesn't quite look realistic, but i still dig look. =]

nekodesu (Jun 26, 2005)
drawn in 15 min

I think the nose is a little better but I made the shines on the lips even worse, oh yeah, the pale skin color is just perfect, and I am now finished with this.

mugennn

hideyourface (Jun 24, 2005)

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

An easy way to assess the level of your work is to simply look at the other works on that board. Take a look at the picture just below yours, does this look anything like that?
