I unfortunately (or fortunately) am aware of the weirdness of his chest and hair. That's what I get for doing this when I should be sleeping, and for not watching close enough.

Yes...I'm well aware she's "Half Bat" I was too lazy to draw in the wings.

Ok. To be honest, a lot of things are wrong here. Your proportions are off(compare the head to the body). The eye and lips are also extremely large. But seeing as this is anime inspired that's to be expected to a point.

The pose is dull(very stiff) and a lot of the body is hidden. I'm not aware of your habits but try drawing as much of the body as you can. That will help you with proportions as well. Also the ear in the background is very high making it off perspective.

The muscles on the stomach need shading as they come off as undefined. You're coloring looks rushed and messy.

Now don't take all that the wrong way, you're still ahead of a lot of other people. My advice is when doing character designs, draw the entire body. Even if the focus is just the face. As you get more comfortable with that try new poses. Find a method to your art, it seems you just kinda draw without worrying about measurements or perspective. Even if these aren't your strong suit, understanding them always make a better picture.

Don't worry about color right now, just shade with a pencil(or pen) so you can get use to values.

It was a quick sketch, and this was just Practice anyway. But I'll try to keep all that stuff in mind.

>>6442

Never, ever, EVER use that as an excuse. It's insulting to the people who actually work hard to improve their art and to the people who take the time to critique. If it's truly just a quick sketch, don't put it up for critique, goddamn.

>>6443

More of an Insult to myself than to them. It is a quick sketch yes, but I need to find out what wrong with my sketches, before I put up something big. I know what I'm doing

MOAR LIKE THIS PLZ

Was drawing Trencher...

Meh, last one.

Interesting. I think your decision to simplify the faces take a lot away from the art. The bodies come off as being a bit more detailed while the faces are overly simple. Try finding a middle ground. I really think if you lower the detail on the bodies you'll get a smoother result. But experiment! Detailing the faces could give you more expression without having to clutter up the picture.

All in all its pretty good stuff, just tweak it a bit. You should try doing short comic scripts to put the style into action. You'll find that any style is put to a test when you have to draw using a degree of poses, expressions, and perspectives to tell a story. Even if it is just 1 to 3 panels.

You SHOULD adjust the levels next time.

Feels like, Tintin gone manga. It's fresh, mystifying, it makes me confused, it makes me hard, I feel like a 13 year old schoolboy again, fapping for reasons unknown. In short; I like it

You need to work on your poses. Often times the feet seem off or something just looks way too funky.

>>6417
Noted. Will play around with detail levels. I really like the faces how they are, mostly because with faces, I have a HUGE consistency problem if there's too many details to work with, thus the simplified, exagerrated details.

>>6419
Ok.

>>6420
I'll just pretend I didn't read the fapping part and say thanks. Glad you dig it.

>>6422
I know I have problems with feet, especially at odd angles...do you have any suggestions of practices or references to look at? I try to just keep the details in there, but the foot isn't really something I can look at from a 3rd person perspective on myself, so I can't really get a good idea of how to do the initial shape when sketching the pose...I understand where the ankle goes and that it's essentially a triangle/pyramid coming from there, but I'm trying my HARDEST to not resort to Rob Liefield feet...cause his feet are retardedly gay and I'd like to think even my mis-shapen feet are better than his shit. :)

you tried so hard and got so far, but you're still a westerner attempting to draw japanese art

Arms and hands are to thin/small/short.

Ok, this isn't all bad. You did do some good things here. You have potential, you should just work on anatomy. Nix the fancy perspectives and start with the basics. Try this website to pick up some early tips:

And remember kids, anime/manga isn't the best art style in the world. Try drawing in the style you're most comfortable with first. you'll have a much bigger payoff in the end.

HER LEGS ON FIRE!!

Those are some nice clouds.

Your values are pretty good, but your lineart could use some work. Was this drawn from reference?

Ranma-chans breast are drawn a little bit too high, but expect of that i think there's nothing that should be changed.Impressive.

nice

Whoops, sorry.

Was testing something, but I forgot my deletion password.

Bah.

Scanner made me lose like all the really light shading I did. Was a bit better on paper, I swear.

Here's another.

Pretty much the same story. Took a long time, problems with values. It's a little worse compared tot he last one, the face is pretty different so it ends up not looking like her at all. The expression is totally off.

Even so, I'm pretty satisfied, the patterning on the shirt tried my patience quite a bit so I'm glad to get it over with.
