oh hey, a rare non-"anime" post from me.
doodled in pencil while waiting for work to be over.


Also, what everyone else was saying, absolutely study and learn human anatomy before trying anything cartoonish.

i got you guys covered

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS THOUGH, if you want to be able to draw in one single style, then practice that style until you nail it.

If you wanna be a bit more flexible or use fun angles when drawing, then anime is basically just geometric forms that are sometimes offset for reasons (silly tradition or in the case of 3/4 angles having more face than in reality, faces being an important part of the medium)

Also to draw really good anime eyes, just draw a shiny crystal egg and fill it with space and nebulas

edit: what I'm trying to say is that the first step I'm outlining here is to draw a slightly moomin-cheeked clay shape. when you extrapolate anime, it's all simple shapes like that with decoration on top. If you're having trouble drawing a believable ball with shading or a cube that makes sense geometrically, start there. Human brains are already wired to be good with faces, so try to draw geometry objectively well, and then apply the human face magic on that and it'll be all good

Just about right!

Excellent sketches Rakugaki-Otoko. Keep at it rj™.

Here are some fixes I made to my piece.

Hey Nu-Type, I like it! However, there's a few things that struck my eye in the proportions. Mainly, it looks like this guy has definitely not been skipping leg day, so his arms could be beefier as well. Here's a quick fix I did:



In addition to the arms and torso, I made his head a bit bigger and moved his pecs up. What do you think?

Hey man, glad you liked it! However, that isn't a man, it's a woman. But with your edits, you've truly turned her into a man LOL. It was a conscious decision to make her slightly androgynous, but I think I made her way too much. Back to the drawing board!

hey ya know when quotin' big old images it'd be nice if y'all could shrink the pics so that folks dont have to scroll past em twice!

Some art from a game I'm currently working on.

I can shrink them with the post tools? How?

Code:

[img width=880]image url[/url]

880 is the maximum image width for the forum before u get horizontal scroll bars

Code:

[img width=880]image url[/url]

880 is the maximum image width for the forum before u get horizontal scroll bars

Ah nice using img width I can control the scale, even if the image is larger through my image tag or link. Excellent. Thanks.

edit: Here is the fixed version, this should do the trick.

Speaking of anime though


Also thank you, Nu-type for the compliment!
I have to ask (and hopefully it hasnt been mentioned and I just missed it) Is your portrait you're working Metal Gear inspired? It looks like it could be something right out of an info-graphic or official art from the game! Also, it could be me, but the pupils look a tad close together to me.
Also, I would have thought people would know she was female by the name you gave before:

Name - Izabela Irakov

Thanks Rakugaki-Otoko! Yes, its very Metal Gear inspired. Its part of a project called N9NEHART im designing and developing into several media (mainly videogame, graphic novel/motion comic and film). Other influences include The Terminator, Universal Soldier and Robocop. You can check my blogspot where I make posts on art and ideas behind N9NEHART. n9nehart.blogspot.com

On the eyes, its possible. I'll have to keep an eye (no pun intended) on that detail in future pieces regarding her.

By the way, your art rocks, you got some excellent stuff going on in this thread.

Cow That study looks great!
Cristiano Vitorino Cool!
Pol Nice promo! I like the blasted white effect.
zomboko Quite the moody concept, looks very good! Is the game Horror or Thriller/Suspense?

Here is a little something different, a Phantasy Star III fan-art. Its a paint over, using one of Jessica Prescott's aka Faestock, stock photo. This is the final artwork and the process.

Cristiano Vitorino Cool!

Thank you sir!

Cool style you have there! Physical paint-brush?
