I made my first attempt at a kissing pic in a Avatar fanart [link] not very convincing but it's a start

not that bad actually, i assume you majorly do computer peices, which I'll admit isn't my forte, Personally I would suggest looking through some stock photo's ( at your own preference, lord knows some can get a little...risque...) or, go through some Doujinshi scans particularly of the H-variety.. those usually have like ninty million different variations, and if you want and are willing to spend 20$ get Graphic-Sha's "How to Draw Manga: Couples.. its one of my most used references when dealing with kisses.... Give me a bit to see what Else I can think up ^^

Funny you mention the How To Draw Manga book about couples, I went out and made myself a gift of it I guess I'll start improving on that theme now. I tried to Google 'couples kissing' but predictably most of what I got was more than a little 'risque' And I learned how to cg color because I too often trashed a drawing by coloring it by hand. I'm not that good with color theory and beeing able to change colors at will was really appealing.

Well I have a varitable cornacopia of referance images just by entering the following keywords right here in DeviantArt

Kissing
Passion
Love

stuff like that. I'd do up a tutorial but in honesty I've never really done one, and I do all my work with traditional mediums (or a mix i.e.- the crappy two digital colorings of hand drawn images) however, if you want you can send me previews of your roughs and I'll give you some suggestions. another good thing to do is listen to music pertaining to the topic at hand. Me I draw a lot of angsty stuff so i listen to a lot of stuff that makes me depressed..(not that I need help with that, just between you and me.) but anyway. take this into consideration. i'll be on for a while so i'll do what I can. ok?

I replied to this yesterday but DA is doing funny things lately. I'll either send you or post in scraps my next attempt of a couple kissing to get your feedback, thank you again for the help, it's truly appreciated.

I also like to listen to music appropriate to the mood of what I'm drawing. For romantic pieces I often play Suteki Da Ne. It's the theme song of Final Fantasy X, and even though I don't understand Japanese, I've read translations and the music is beautiful. I used to draw/write angsty stuff, but now I rather cheer myself up

My usual inspriation in the J-music section comes from "Drakengard-Growing Wings (Japanese)" Man it was hard to track down... And since I've heard the original, I know how the song goes.

But anyway, You're very welcome. I try to help in anyway I can. Don't hesitate to ask if you need help in other areas, If I can i will help ( but heck even i don't know everything but who does ^^ )

I'll be waiting to see what you come up with. ^^
