Description I-haven't-updated-in-a-long-time...*dies*Gomen gomen
Finished this like last week, but no time to upload...

I may get cat flu*sniff* Marble, a kitten that I helped to take care of, caught a cold. She sneezed and sprayed her mucus at my face. Ugh...

Loki from Loki Ragnarok mythical detective. Found this in my old books collection and drew and extended it out from the manga's cover page.

I have not bought any manga for a long time~~ Only watch anime most of the time... Even my friends say I have too little contact with manga...

lol you need more contrast. your shadings not nice cos its almost the same shade for everything

Agreed. Partially because my skills using traditional media isn't that up to mark...(and 2b mechanic pencil doesn't really go too dark) But I would say too high of a contrast would give it a hard overall feeling, won't it? Cos I'm actually aiming for a softer feel...(not sure since most of the stuff I know are all self learned)

contrast is always better. soft feel just makes your pics boring. well thats what i think

Yes, but it's always good to strike a balance, soft brings out a more soothing and natural feel, while contrast gives the picture a powerful look, I think

I really like this picture! The shading was pretty smooth and I also like the expression on this face and his eyes.
But just a suggestion, maybe you should also shade the clothing folds to make them stand out and look more realistic. Anyway, great job!

Haha this was just practicing copying pictures, Its a kind of training as well. I can't really shade as freely using mechanical pencils, they look rough everytime I try, probably I used too much strength. So I didn't shade that much for this picture. Plus lazy lazyXP

trainingartist In reply to hikarinosekai [2008-08-07 10:22:55 +0000 UTC]

Next time, you might want to use some napkins or tissue papers to smudge it to make the shading smoother, but I usually go for shading a smaller image since I'm also quite rough when I shade with mechanical pencils.
(Or maybe its because I'm also lazy, thats why I shade a smaller picture...)

Too lazy, I use my thumbXD And according to some of the tutorials and books I read, tissues shouldn't be used to smudge ur pictures but should be placed under your hand to prevent the sweat from hands to make unnecessary smudges on ur drawing^^

vivianfantasy [2008-04-19 14:39:37 +0000 UTC]

maybe the hand s a little too small?
and greater contrasts would be a bonus..
the soft shading is good, matches with his expression

K... Sorry^^ Didn't check properly and ya I did draw the hand too small I'll try my best to get the proportions right next time!;w00t!:

hikarinosekai In reply to vivianfantasy [2008-04-19 15:04:51 +0000 UTC]

Maybe, but it's the size is as it is in the picture
Yep, there should be a greater contrast, I'm just too lazy, cos like I only got time to shade a bit during class and before dinner everyday
Then the author did well then

Yep I screwed up the eye But it can't be helped. I used pen already and to me using correction fluid when drawing is a big no-no

It's hard to see them when they are printed or when they are scanned into the com. But I feel that I wanted to throw that art away if I use correction fluid on the original
