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.

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.
