Female Manga faces

Continueing on the faces theme I have been working on quick doodles of female manga faces. I really suck at hair so I left that part out for now as I would rather save that for a post of it's own.

I have been studying from a book called "The art of drawing manga" Very useful book.

Anyway here is my work.

Think I will work on hair next.

Manga face practice 3/4 view

Just a quick update today. Quick faces as I was struggling with shading. Will try to get substantial content next post.

Will put source of my studies tomorrow.

Lines are looking better. I feel more confident with shading as well. Need to study planes.

jimquisition fan art

Well I have been working on various projects but I have just finished a quick speed paint of Jim Sterling from the Jimquisition. Not too pleased with the sword but I really dont feel like going back and re drawing the whole thing.

As per usual Here is the final piece along with The workings.
Thank God For Jim XD

So I definatly need to work on shading and perspective.

Manga Hands.

AKA I'M BACK BABY!!!
Greetings manga art lovers of all ages.

So after yesterdays mediocre performance I decided to hit the books so to speak. I am yet again  studying my weak areas. Today it is hands. I really need to grow a pair when it comes to attacking this subject. Naturally I used my own hands as ref. the first attempt was ok. Again it fell at the shading part. The more complex second image actually proved to be my more successful rendering.

Areas to work on!

• shading and planes (they both do hand in hand)
• Line confidence

Right I best be off and get more drawing done. If I am ever gonna go pro I need to get my ass into gear.

COME ON, HAVE AT YOU!

Messed this one up :(

So I was working on a pin up. Guess my hearts not in it today as I ended up messing this piece up.
It was rushed, sloppy and not to a good standard. It was supposed to be some fan art of Flammy from TOME,

Meh. We all have off days. I belive I will post some studies up tomorrow. I have not done hands in a long time.
