Fruity Insanity Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) So much fail. ;~; >Was trying to copy this, but ended up doing something very different... Whoa, the image is reversed... So the kanji for manga look weird... >_< EDIT: Maybe I should have put this on the "Creative" board rather than in FFTF...

Caster Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 If there is yuri it will turn out great no matter what.But really, I'd say not that bad for a first attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esme Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 No worries; it's not that great now, but just keep practicing and you'll slowly and surely perfect your SKILLZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's not my first attempt in that I tried doodling manga before, but yeah it's my first time I actually sat down with the purpose of drawing manga... No worries; it's not that great now, but just keep practicing and you'll slowly and surely perfect your SKILLZ. I must perfect my SKILLZ. I just don't have the TIMEZ. Hm, I know~! I know a girl who's really good at drawing manga... I'D BETTER ASK HER TO TEACH ME! Edited September 19, 2013 by Fruit Ninja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Wright Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 tbh it's not bad. especially since this is your first focused piece of art. i like the hair the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blyegg Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The little ^@*&^(#^)*@^#)*%^$)_@&+)!(!#&(). How dare he?! I guess. Better then ANYTHING I can do, so congratz, though~ ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 While it is in fact easily better than anything I can and likely will ever do, dear God those eyes need to be like 30% their current size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Better than what I can draw, I really want to draw manga, but I suck at it. I'm much better at still images and scenes, and things where I don't have to draw people. It's not bad, I actually kind of like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Better than Fayt's avatar. That was the first thing that ran through my mind, too If you want to improve, find an art book. It should help you with things like proportion (which I STILL can't do). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleph Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I attempted to recreate the original image, despite that the source you've linked is not loading and I therefore was forced to use your own drawing as a guide instead, to demonstrate how little you have to worry about. Notice the lack of quality of the drawing and how I completely failed to replicate your much better skill with drawing hair. Also note that I used a pen so that I couldn't hide my utter lack of finesse with an eraser. Do you feel better now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Well, it's not my first attempt in that I tried doodling manga before, but yeah it's my first time I actually sat down with the purpose of drawing manga... I must perfect my SKILLZ. I just don't have the TIMEZ. Hm, I know~! I know a girl who's really good at drawing manga... I'D BETTER ASK HER TO TEACH ME! i should totally follow the last bit. since i know one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djeets Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 that's...far much better than my 1st attempt drawing manga.. here's some tips: the angle of the eye can determine how good the face expression is, in your case neal, both of the eyes was at the same angle, and same size, that's probably the only fail point compared to the video one... but the hair and the body was nice~ 8/10 over all: 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Just keep practicing. Nobody becomes good at draws with only one picture and yours is certainly not a bad start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau of Isaac Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) I am not much of an artist but I would recommend learning the simple basics and then later in add a manga style. Get the basics down before running off into another genre, I guess. Otherwise you get this: Damn man Paint's come a long way I mean it's still cringe-inducing but I remember trying to draw with a mouse when I was a little kid and wanting to kill Bill Gates.

Thor Odinson Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 ^that is good advice, right there. Learning proportions, anatomy, and perspective is all pretty important and then you can adapt that to a style you want. http://referencesforartists.tumblr.com/ (NSFW for artistic nudity/anatomies) is a good reference blog I like, and may be of use to you.

Just not good. :P But yeah, I wanna learn how to draw better... that's...far much better than my 1st attempt drawing manga.. here's some tips: the angle of the eye can determine how good the face expression is, in your case neal, both of the eyes was at the same angle, and same size, that's probably the only fail point compared to the video one... but the hair and the body was nice~ 8/10 over all: 7/10 Thanks. ^^ Just keep practicing.
