One of my goals this winter is to try to learn to draw this fascinating genre. Like every other creative endeavour it takes skill and practice. As drawing people is way outside my normal subject area, it is going to take a lot of work!
Using a "how-to" guide from one of the above communities, I have been trying my hand at some Anime heads. However, I CAN'T FIND THE CUTE! So many of the Anime characters are cute - I think it is the eyes - but I know my drawings fall way short.

I admit that I haven't spent much time yet on this challenge but I will keep at it over the next few months and I will keep you up-dated too!
They look really good Val :) There are really good sources of information on Pinterest. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila, I am just getting used to Pinterest so I haven't looked there yet for references but I will now - thanks for the info.
DeleteThey look great, but mostly, good for you for going outside of your comfort zone. That's the way to grow in art. It's about taking risks and not being afraid! Your work is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the compliment on my art Laurie. The great thing about comfort zones is that they can change - the more you try the more the comfort zone grows. I remember when I started with acrylics - I hated it but kept going and now it is in the zone. Thanks again and have a great day!
Deletedo draw these yourself and how can i learn...this is some cool art man
ReplyDeleteHI Richard. I agree that Anime and Manga are 'cool' art. I will continue to practise using books and samples off the internet. I think most people can learn whatever they want if they try and keep trying. I hope you checked out the community links in the blog. Thanks for commenting.
