These are two of my Manga drawings, I have more...

Hmm, manga=comic, so maybe you should just call them drawings?

Yes, they're vharacters from my comic serires, look it up on Google, it's called, Total Action manga

the one single result I got from google for "Total Action manga" was a porn site.

Oh, well in your sentence you're using manga as a modifier, making me thing that you are classifying the drawings as manga. Maybe you should word your sentences better next time to avoid misunderstandings. :3 I searched your comic on Google and only got unrelated results ^^;

Also, maybe you should improve a bit before thinking about making comics? o.o

@Ana-hime: Aw, don't be so discouraging. D: Let the girl be.
Drawing comics, or pretty much drawing the same figures over and over again, is a great way to improve your skills. <3
Good luck with the comic series! :D

Hmm, I have to agree with you there xiang, it's good practice to draw the same character in different poses... Well, what I have to say about her art is that she draws the features well, but she places them incorrectly within her art, making them unpleasing to the eye.

Tai Chi, what I suggest you do is that you look at yourself in the mirror and see how the features are arranged. You are drawing the eyes too close together, and the nose and mouth are supposed to be aligned with the chin.

In the first drawing the neck is too long, and in my opinion, too fleshy for your style. The eyes are too dark for the rest of the lineart, and the breasts are reminiscent of Madonna. I do like how you drew the hair though, better than myself. xD

In the second drawing, the arm is off, the lengths of the arm segments are different. Notice how both of your arm segments are equal in length. The paw is too small, unless you are drawing the head bigger on purpose, the hands are about as big as the face is.

I definately think you should be trying to improve a lot more before actually making manga.
Your pictures, honestly, frighten me ~_~; I'm sorry. I shuddered.

but! That doesn't mean you can't improve :0 just keep drawing, eventually, you'll get much better.

lmao Mai!

OH man. We should all find something we drew when were would like... in 5th Grade, and post 'em here. It'll be so hilarious! =D

I'm curious as to how elementary school doodles looked from you guys. =]

Thank you for the NICE comments!! (E.g xia, <3) But please let alone the nasty comments, (such as Maiko and so on) I've only just started drawing, and a few friends DID tell me that drawings comics would help me... So is there anythign else you'd like to complain about before I leave?

my 5th grade drawings of donald duck and batman would ROCK YOUR SOCKS.

Oh yeah, redpanda, umm, my site is NOT a porn site!

I shuddered.

Ditto.

Um..not to sound rude, but trying to accept some of these so called 'bad comments" could actually help you in your drawing. However, the only way of improving is to keep practising, and I'm glad that you're willing to practise so that you can draw better.

But I do have to agree with some parts of what Mai said, you do have to improve your drawing before you start your own manga. Drawing manga actually takes a lot of hard work, you not only have to have a good story, you'll need nice artwork to keep your readers interested. *I'm not saying your artwork is bad, it's just not up to par for you to make a manga yet* That's really all I had to say, and I hope that this made sense, since I don't know if I really am just babbling >.>

OH man. We should all find something we drew when were would like... in 5th Grade, and post 'em here.

Indeed >3 *whips out all my old Detective Conan imitations* I can't believe I was so proud of this crap when I was 12! XD

I made an OC when I was 12. Sarianna Talon. The pictures? We won't mention the pictures... *pulls out a Zippo*

See? We've all got to start from somewhere. :D
Nobody's born and immediatly good at anything.

random pic from 02'. I had NO grasp on anatomy. ~_~;

something I drew in 03' >_>; I went from simple to OVERDECORATED.

I've changed styles like, a million times.

Well, To start you off, the atonomy is really off, Their eyes are scary, the shading is very unacurate, and they just look plain freaky. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, either. Also, To have a good manga, you need a decent plot. Do you even have that yet?

My pictures from when I was 12? Meaning last year?

I don't know about you guys, but I think I rocked pretty dang hard.

I hope you enjoyed laughing at my expense.

=0 tai chi, don't take it too harshy, you're not a horridly bad bad artist, you could improve alot on things, but so do i.. x3 drawing comics will HELP alot! but it takes so much time and concentration, *shurgs* i can't seem to do it, at all ;_;

2004 drawing(pencil, pen and colouring pencils, which i hate...)
2004 CG

yehhh, i haven't gotten all that better, and i kinda don't have any of my drawings from years back :] *good thing too*

My drawings from when I was in 5th grade were SCARY, man. They had huge heads with big plate eyes and no forehead; they were round AND pointy at the same time. O_O

I'm gonna go scan some of them now. xD

edit: I found something better! My 3rd grade drawings!

Ph33r!

I think some of my older drawings on here are proof enough. x_o

I should delete them, they make my eyes hurt.

These are from 2004 and they are one of my first drawings I've drawn (ever):

As you can see, we all have to start somewhere. You just have to work at it with pictures after pictures and listen and consider the critiques that people give you and try working on improving your art.

lol nekodesu, those are pretty awesome!

if i had scanner i would post old drawings...hahah

My 5th grade drawings? Oh man, they were terrible....
What's funny is to think that people actually thought I was an artist back then with those horrid drawings....yikes :P.

Haha ure lucky, noone thought I was an artist back then, only me XD

When I started out, evryone thought my drawings were horrible, and I thought they were great. Looking back I realize that the really WERE horrible.

i'd scan mine o_O but i'm too >_> uhhhh lazy to =)

those are really good compared to my 5th grade drawings Xd.....

When I started out, evryone thought my drawings were horrible, and I thought they were great. Looking back I realize that the really WERE horrible

xD haha, yeah :) same thing as what i said :P

My classmates made fun of my drawings, and i was heartbroken because I was so proud of them. Just another factor leading up to the way I am now. xD;;

Hey Nekodesu.. the guy you drew looks a lot like Stallion

Ok.. I guess the nasty comments have helped me.. Now look at what I can do on the computer:

http://cellosoft.com/2draw/view/72740/

I still think I'm better on paper.. But my scanner's broken!! T.T

Ok this was all a long time ago and it seems no one will actually care but:
Maiko drawded SEPHIROTH awesomely! _crap i sound like a fangirl.
and nekodesu, you may have had a better warning saying "CAUTION: MAY CAUSE LAUGHING UNTILL YOUR STOMACH EXPLODES."
the first ones supposed to be a guy?LOL
