Happy Saturday 🙂
Let me start my day talking about “manga drawing” then later on more on “language” xD

Yesterday I decided flat-out I would work on my drawing, since it’s just another skill I’m determined to learn! I was using online YouTube videos and tutorials from DeviantArt (well, not really tutorials but just looking at talented people’s drawings! hehe)
So let me start off with the positive – as in “what I can draw without crying my eyeballs out”
1. I can draw a really strong and neat jaw line. You know in anime the characters always have definitive jaw lines that are visible. And I’ve been reading (yes) that the jaw line really plays a part in the facial expressions.
2. I can always draw one eye, but then when it comes to the other side I totally mess it up. (?) confusing actually.
Now onto the stuff I really need to improve on –
1. Hair. Anime/Manga hair is killer insane difficult to draw, you look at it and it looks so “easy-peasy” just try to it’s not so easy-peasy anymore :/
2. I can’t draw a body. It seems odd but really I can’t – well not yet ^^
Like everything else I learn I think I need a “book” – so I’m actually going to buy an Anime/Manga drawing book – the ones that teach you how to develop your own characters because I really can’t think clearly enough to come up with a “character” image in my mind – Like I’m brain dead lol x.x
No actually I see an image but it’s not what comes up on paper. Guess everything is about trial and error before you can get it right 🙂 I got time and won’t give up.
