[animegurl]

this is really the only pic that I am proud of that i have on the computer... tell me what you think of it ^_^

[shindou501]

looks pretty good in my opinion ^_^ keep up the good work

[animegurl]

thanx bunches!

[Gejutsuka]

Very nice work animegurl. If you want to add some depth to those tresses in the hair, consider taking an eraser, and at the defined lines of each tress, swipe the eraser. This gives the illusion of depth and lustre as seen in natural hair.

Very serene look to the face.

[Cless158]

Hey thats really nice!

I suck at side view..;_;

[LadyAkuma]

I think the top of her head is kind of flat. Other than that, nice job.

[animegurl]

thanx I think that I'm better at the side veiw than n/e thing...here's another...

[silentwings]

Kool another animegurl!! You and anime gurl 24 7. >_< Your pictures are great, Love the hair. Keep up the good work. ^_^

[animegurl]

[Anime Gurl 24_7]

[LadyAkuma]

For the second one, same things as the first one, the back of her head seems flat/small.

[animegurl]

here is another...this one I did for my sister...she loves to play tennis

[Anime Gurl 24_7]

That is so cool, i suk at drawing trainers :P

[Foofaraw]

I suck at drawing people from the side. ><;;
The second picture has really good hair. ^^
Nice job.

[makoto-kun]

the only one i like is the tennis one cause it shows motion
the other two need improvement in proportion
thats easy to improve
keep up the good work and practice practice practice

[animegurl]

thanx here is somemore

[Kochou~no~Hime]

You are really good at drawing.. I suck..

[animegurl]

XD thanx but... i don't hink that i'm all that good...

[LadyAkuma]

I really like the tennis one. Action poses = awesome.

The perspective in the shoes one is off I think, but you can always work on that. At least you put backgrounds on your stuff. ^_^

[shindou501]

your not great, but your okay^_^ and if you keep practacing you will become good

[animegurl]

i know I did the left shoe last & it took like 30 mins to do the first one.... so I was just out of it...

[kyo koizumi]

good stuff, keep at it. ;)

[animegurl]

thanx guys!!!

[silentwings]

Pretty good horse. My friend always makes fun of me when I make horses, they always end up looking like a dog or something. Good Job!! Keep practicing!!

[animegurl]

thanx guys!

[animegurl]

here is one that i did just recently... for me & PG

[ChibiToaster]

Okay. First off, I want to say that you're doing a great job. Coloring is hard, and it shows dedication. Inking is a lot of work and it shows dedication. I see a lot of anime drawings here, and most are pencilled only, almost all of them are head shots, I'd say a good 80% of any given person's drawings look alike with the exception of the costume and hair, and yours are definitely different people. You have all that going for you.

But there are a couple of things that you could do to immediately improve. First off, you need to start your figures with a skeletal struction. I can tell that the tennis one has had more study than the standing figures. Believe me, from about 12 years of professional experience, I can safely say that one of the hardest things to believably draw is a person just standing there in front of the camera.

I can also tell that you're infatuated by the "anime style" of drawing. And that's fine for sketchbooks and throwaway things, but for anyone who wants to take comics, art, or animation as a future occupation/career, it's going to be a tremendous handicap. I'm working right now in one of my drawing classes, to try to get some of these kids to look at real facial structure and not base all their drawings on anime style. The sooner you do this, the sooner your anime style drawings will start getting better.

You have some pretty impressive strengths...

Oh, for the horse... look up Muybridge on google images. He was the first to do a full photo study of a horse, and has all of the horse's mid-gallop poses. ^_^

Good luck.

[shindou501]

looks pretty good, keep up the good work

[animegurl]

thanx.... here's another i did just recently...

[The-Pie-Guy]

GJ!!!!!! Keep it up! ^_^

[chaos link]

yo AG ^_^ listen, try shading it instead of coloring ^ ^ just try *nod* itle do good just watch ^ ^...

[LadyAkuma]

Keep working. Colored pencils are very fun to use, and shading will become easier as you use them. Don't forget you can use different colors to shade!

Also, I do like you art AG, just in case you got the impression otherwise. You remind me of myself, except you seem to experiment more.

[animegurl]

it's ok Akuma... i took it just fine... i did not think about meaness at all!!!
link~ i've tried to shade... me+shading=desaster...

[ChibiToaster]

it's ok Akuma... i took it just fine... i did not think about meaness at all!!!
link~ i've tried to shade... me+shading=desaster...


I'm going to tell you the one thing that my figure drawing teacher told me that changed my opinion on shading.

He said that every time there's a plane change, you do a value change. In other words, as a face goes from the front to the side, there should be a change in the darkness. Also where it goes from the eyebrow to the eyelid, it changes the plane's angle. And the underside of the nose, and the sides of the nose, etc.

You can't learn this by looking at anime art. Look at some American comic artists, or the masters from the renaissance, and they all do much better jobs at teaching shading.

Look up Hellboy. Talk about the leader in shading. It's either black or white with him (red, actually), but you can definitely see where the planes change and where the contours of the face are just by how it's shaded.

[animegurl]

THATS WHAT MY DAD WAS TRYIN' TO TELL ME!!!! n/e way thanx chibitoster! i'll try it....

[animegurl]

[Malchiel]

[Anime_Empress]

You have a really cute style. ^^

[Anime Gurl 24_7]

Ah! :w00t: its sooo cute!! :huggles:

I like the pictures b4, the bodies are well drawn and the horse is absolutely brill! the eyes are drawn almost like how i used to draw em, then i changed my style so my frend started to draw the eyes like i used to by copying em from my site <_< :lol:

Great job! ^_^

[animegurl]

ok newest of mine

[LadyAkuma]

Wow, I see some hardcore improvement in the faces. Love the eyes.

[animegurl]

kewl! thanks LA.

[animegurl]

okies.. This is the VERY NEWEST! please. I am open to critisism! ^_^

[Searching]

verry sad, i would hope the character realises such things are foolish to think of.

that and very well done :)

[animegurl]

lol.. thanks searching. ^_^

[animegurl]

Here is the creator of these pics.. lol :lol:

[animegurl]

ok, here is my newest.. I drew it for Stamp and AG's bar of crazyness. enjoy. ^_^

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c275/miniAG/bar.jpg

[Reidar.]

Haha that's awesome. Next time show Koala being eaten by someone. How long did that take you?

[animegurl]

:lol: umm.. it took me about 30 minutes.

[Reidar.]

Sure sure. You probably did draw him being eaten but then you erased it. Still, looks good. And so are your pictures that you posted, but that's nothing new haha.

[animegurl]

*softly giggles and smiles* thanks reidar. ^_^

[animegurl]

heres one I drew for saba. ^_^ lol


http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c275/miniAG/scan0002.jpg

and the revised pic for the bar. :lol:

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c275/miniAG/scan0003.jpg

and this one I'm going to enter in the fair.

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c275/miniAG/Navjo.jpg

[Japhyl]

Those are cool.

[animegurl]

I think I got the pespective wrong on this one...

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c275/miniAG/kiss.jpg

[Searching]

i think its very well done, you can see the heads tilted more with the boy and slightly with the girl... well i gotta say this makes my nose bleed so youv done a good job!

[animegurl]

haha. thanks searching. ^_^

[Reidar.]

That's really good because everything's at the right proportion. Nice drawing animegurl and keep it up.

[Japhyl]

Wow, that looks really nice.

[animegurl]

thanks, but I think it a little tweaked. I think his head is a little big heighth wise.

[LadyAkuma]

I like the last one. Her hair is so soft looking, and they look so cute. ;_;

[animegurl]

^_^ thanks Akuma-chan. my favorite part of that whole pic would be the girl. ^_^

[Searching]

mine too *blush*

[Achita]

a romantic one ^_^
very nice :D but few lil things I have to notice, I think her forehead has to be placed more in the front so that the distance between nose and forehead is a bit shorter(understand 0.o) the boys arm can have some more details too I think(muscles/ripples in clothes?)
oh and I LOVE the girls hair :D it looks very real for some reason =)

[animegurl]

YES! Fiannaly! Some critisim!

[animegurl]

here is my newest. I'll have one other later. ^^ btw, sorry about all the smudge marks, I didn't have an eraser. hehe

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c275/miniAG/scan0001.jpg

[TheDrizzle]

THeyre all really cool....i like the sheer bliss one a lot...

[kila]

Ag, the last two ones you posted are absoloutley b-e-a-utiful! I love the way you draw the hair and the eyes are uber pretty. Gotta be a critic: on the one w/ the guy and girl- you should tweak the expression so she doesn't look so sad, and perhaps if she leaned into the kiss a bit more. The guys height is a bit off, but it would look really good if you made it a full picture and he was holding her, then it would be good. But anyway, I love them, they're sooooo cute!

[Japhyl]

That looks really nice. ^_^

[manicmushroom]

wow, i love reading the whole of long threads, cause you can really see how much people have improved. these twoare no ecception.

last two ... *collapses*.. beautiful. i like the feather-decoration in the last one, you have faces to a T now

you should start colouring again...

"ow stupid collapsing at nice drawings..."

[animegurl]

okie-dokie, here is my newest picture. ^^ it's of myself in neko form. dun, dun, dun-dun!!! hope you like!

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c275/miniAG/nekogirl.jpg

[kila]

It's absoloutley adorable, AG, I love it to death- soooooo kawaii!!!! I'm actually doing a neko pic of myself but I don't know if I'm gonna post it.

[kt-san]

I watched as you improved all through your thread good job BFF!

[kila]

What kt and mm said- I love watching and seeing how much people improve, you're brilliant and you've gotten sooo much better from your first pics.

[Etchd]

I like the tail, really.

[animegurl]

[MirKz]

[Cute&evil-chan]
