It looks to me like she is about to pwn someone and she knows it.
Very tomboyish.

by Guest Sat Jul 18, 2009 2:13 am

That is awesome work, Xieg. Can't wait to see the colored version.

by Kaotic Sat Jul 18, 2009 3:51 am

You know what beats me, how simple they are to draw, yet how much i suck at them.. i am talking about drawing hands, and skulls...
However you mastered that one with ease.. this time I think the hammer behind the body looks cool, but then maybe a little bit more shading on that hand, to show it is behind, drawn those skulls beautifully, the shoulder looks right, and so does the head, so well done on that one!

I would (Now this is a challenge) I would like to see you draw the first chaos lord! Escherion*

*Don't know how to spell that!

Here, I present you, Kaotic's Death Harbinger (Kao's DH)

Kaotic, you liar you! You said you couldn't draw, yet I can clearly see proof against it in Kaos DH. Don't doubt yourself!

Xieg, that is your best drawing yet. I love your manga style much more than most mangas I've seen. Don't give up!

I said I suck at drawing hands and skulls, not at 'drawing' xD

by Xieg Sat Jul 18, 2009 8:13 am

@kao

Is that a request?..
if it is then post in my request shop...

although I already know it will suck I might give it a try...

also the wep looks wicked but I think it still needs more defining of how the flame embraces the wep and what the wep looks like...

by Kaotic Sat Jul 18, 2009 8:40 am

Yeh, probably, but also, as I said, it looks a lot weirder on comp, their actually vines.. growing up the blade, now Xieg, you can critiscise on this:
It is my first Manga, I was looking at Poke'mon because it is the only manga book i have lol, and I drew these two, remember, it is my first drawing of Manga:

First off the 1st drawing..
The body composition seems not balanced I suggest you use a body outline to fix this and not only that it will fix it, It will make it look better trust me...
The head seems alittle too high it looks like its stretching its neck so I think that needs to be lowered down(outline can fix this)...
The hair seems to undefined I suggest starting with a normal hair before going to spikey ones...
The hand I think is the hardest thing to draw its needs to be well defined interms of posing and making a hand movement like drawing so I suggest you work on that..
Lastly I think the box you used as the chair needs more defining onto how the person in your drawing sits cause it seem too irregular to me that it doesn't connect to how the person on the drawing sits..

Onto the 2nd drawing..
I think you did pretty great on this one I can find only a two flaws so far I think the fluffy thing you used for the coat needs fixing(the one below not on the hands or neck) I only suggest taking on more manga like women drawings and looking for more poses...
that's the only things I find that needs improvement here...

Anyways Good work onto your manga drawings...
If you ask me what I started out drawing manga with its "Dragon Ball"
loved that series...

by Kaotic Sat Jul 18, 2009 9:05 am

Thanks, so i see, outline helps a lot, and he may look a little lop-sided because I didn't put the piece of paper in 'straight' on the scanner, so yeh, thanks!
Also, what does a 'normal' hairstyle look like xD

by Xieg Sat Jul 18, 2009 9:30 am

Still I think its still slanted..(the chair you used <.<)
also what I mean to say with "normal" hairstyle is that don't make use of too many spikes use natural looking hair that looks awesome and cool for the meantime...

by **Charon** Sat Jul 18, 2009 9:55 am

Very nice for a first attempt, Kao. I can't believe that you don't think you can draw! These two are very good. Now, a body outline works for some people, but definitely not for everyone. If you have trouble using one, just go for it freestyle. Thats what I usually do.

Anyway, please keep drawing! I like your style, and I'd love to see your skills flourish.

by Xieg Sat Jul 18, 2009 11:34 am

Actually I suggest using it till you are used to how to maintaining a fixed body sizes for drawings

by Kaotic Sat Jul 18, 2009 12:59 pm

flourish, heheh, what a word, well here are the others.
I love drawing, its just, sometimes they turn out great, they turn out crap or sometimes they turn out great.. except for one thing, and this thing, was the right hand, lol, it looks so weird!!

Ok, so I think cynthia and lucia have been my best so far, i stuffed up volknar because, well, my first one, and Gardiena's hand isn't human..

by **Charon** Sat Jul 18, 2009 1:26 pm

I think you'll be ready to draw something that you aren't looking at very soon at the rate your going Kao.

by **Rage** Sat Jul 18, 2009 2:14 pm

Don't be so sure, Charon. It's a great leap from drawing from the what is seen to what is seen from the mind's eye. Heck, I'm still in that transition.

Kao (and Xieg as well), might I suggest using a light blue colored pencil for early sketching? When used lightly, the color appears slowly on a white sheet of paper and can be drawn over by another tool, such as a pencil or pen.

Plus, as an added bonus, the blue markings don't show up after the image is photocopied, or they can be removed in PS.

by Xieg Sat Jul 18, 2009 2:42 pm

D: I never knew that..

so what kind of light blue pencil do I use?
wait.. I use mechanical pencil due to the fact that I hate using the sharpiner every 10mins or so..
is there a lead that's sky blue? :3

by Kaotic Sat Jul 18, 2009 4:04 pm

Hey, cool, good idea, and I know how you remove the blue, thanks for the tip!

Also, my next two drawings is a female custom hairstyle (my first custom)
and a Insomina princess.. heheh

by **Charon** Sat Jul 18, 2009 4:12 pm

My bad Rage. It is different for everyone though, and I think Kao could do it soon. I'm not saying perfectly, but thats a given.

by **Rage** Sun Jul 19, 2009 1:15 am

I wouldn't suggest going with a mechanical pencil for the blue outline. The lead in the mechanical versions is usually very slick, leading to lines becoming slippery on paper (especially printer paper >.<). A sky-blue pencil out of a coloring set would be optimal.

Oh, one more thing. Have you guys thought about getting a bigger canvas? If so, get Newsprint paper for now. It's the cheapest, lol!

I just use huge pads of paper that we get for free, an then rub out the pencil, then brighten it in Photoshop..
