Description I know how many webcomicers out there that will say if you wait months just to upload a redone version of the first page, you'll go nowhere.

Well, I know. XD But maybe, just maybe, we'll actually get to a second page!

And chances are I can't shade every comic, either. All under my realization. I was just experimenting. The best I could hope for around this time is 1 a week, I'd be surprised if I even did that.

But I redid page 2 because it wasn't the proper way to introduce a comic. >> Not that this is either.

And I might even change the title of RV to something else. I don't know what something else is.

Go ahead. Butcher it.

Oh, and anyone who says I can't call this manga, the only reason this isn't under cartoons because it fits that category even less.

Everything RV (c) me, forever.

Here on your request from the hospital.

I take care of most of the comic request, since your request relate to a comic/manga, here i am.

To draw people in different angle... that practice actually has little to do with anatomy or real life figure. Figure drawing will train you to draw details of a human figure more accurately... but comic art is really "shape based"

In order to turn your characters around and start drawing them in different angle, try doing this excerise:

[link]


Draw A very cartoony Mr. Smily first, remember he's just circles with tubes, and do him in all sort of dramatic actions you want your characters to do. Practice a few rounds until it looks right.

Remember only ONE rule, anything that's closer to the camera, is bigger, and parts of the body that's further is smaller.

Use that to practice for a while, then try to use more complicated shapes on the Mr. Smily, with the same dynamic poses you drew before in practice.... then practice until you see it makes sense.

Then finally, when you are confident enough and feel you can grasp the shape, move on to try to put your characters into that model you already practiced with.

You may see more problems when you first introduced your characters to it. Their face may warp, their hairline may not be in the right place.

If you continue to have that trouble, I suggest you go to take an egg from the fridge, literally draw marker mark over it to show the hairline, eyes, nose and mouth, and use THAT as your reference when you draw the face turning.

An anime/manga style face still have more details than an egg, but an actual egg can give you good clues on how to execute your figures.

^____________^ Thank you so much! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time for this. I'll definately get those exercises done. I'm pretty sure I'll look a little funny drawing eggs, but I'm certain you're not telling my to do it just because it looks silly. XD
