Tsubaki Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Wow! Thats really good for a first time drawing! When I first started drawing manga style, it was a horrible mess and everything I drew looked crazy but over the years I've improved lots. So you can only get better with practice; there is no way to get worse! Also if there is a style you really like, try getting some tracing paper and try tracing over the picture, that way you can quickly pick up a style you like! Once you get the hang of it then you can go on to developing your own style~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icedragonair Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Not bad at all, especially for starters. If you enjoy it just keep drawing. You'll get better and better with practice. Don't quit just because your first drawing isn't perfect, no ones is, Rome wasn't built in a day. I've been drawing for years and I'm still iffy about some of my work. But I AM better than I was before, just go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emberskiez Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I really need to learn how to draw cartoon bodies better, I think manga books help with that a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4t4713 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Keep up the hard work! I would be very interested in update photos to see what your drawings look like now ;3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadey Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Definitely go on with Manga! If this is your first attempt at Manga, it's excellent. Definitely have a look at lots of art books and DeviantArt has some great tutorials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Warblers Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Drawing is not always about how good you are. It's about how good it makes you feel. So, yah, go ahead & go on. Your drawing is very nice & much better than me anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamentis12 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Of the drawing you showed in the initial post. I voted it's pretty good, go on. I would say that it looks like your lines around the face are a little uncertain, But faces aren't easy. ;) I personally think you did AWESOME on the hair though. (I hate drawing hair. LOL) I'm not art major, just an amateur/hobbyist with an eye and knowing what I like, and I like your sketch. Proportions look pretty solid too. Anime/Manga styles can be a good way to start out, get the proportions down and all, and they can be pretty awesome to look at. ;) I do a fair few pics, or what I call "redraws" that are anime based. A redraw is basically a screenshot of a scene I print out and then I redraw it. NO TRACING ALLOWED. lol ;) After all, that would take away the fun, and the occassional frustation. ~_^ I also enjoy doing non-anime redraws. But anyway, I save the redrawing for when I get stuck on an original sketch, or if I'm simply OUT of ideas of what to draw. Redrawing helps keep my practice sessions going as I try to discover my own style. Realism or Anime/manga have the proportions and fundamentals pretty dead on IMHO, but if you want to develop your own style, instead of being strictly one or the other, or both, I'd suggest you look somewhere in-between the two. At least that's what I try to do. Each artist has their own way of getting to their peak. I'm still looking for mine, good luck with your's! I think that you've got a really good start! ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
