Frustrating Things About Drawing Manga - Page 7

Mostly just hands, feet and perspective can get to me. Clothes and hair for some reason have always come naturally to me. Oh yeah, glasses too. Characters w/ glasses for somereason I can't ever seen to get them to look right.

I wear glasses myself, so when I draw my character, I try to add them in, but it looks weird. So I'm just like, "My anime character just had Lasic surgery."

lol.
i hav glasses too.
eyes are always going to be different. right eyes, and left eyes.
nothings can be perfect.
i had such a problem with the hands , the hair, and then the feet. but parctice does make perfect.
so now i can do a full body character.

usually, when you draw glasses on your character, you want to make the the glasses half moon shaped, but only show the sides, not the lens

I remember reading that you should do the half moon thing from a manga book. I do that a lot. But if i can leave them out I do. Less work for me. LOL Hoorah for the blind peeps with contacs or glasses! Whoot!

Drawing Manga? I'll admit, I haven't been able to draw anything for a while since school started. I do get Art Studio next semester, I'll do as much as I can then. I have to make it count b/c I'm a senior in H.S.

i couldnt find any insperation for the past summer. so i havent drawn for a few months. i am a sophmore!

during school people ask to draw them things. and then i end up giving away all my good art. so i started to make copies of them to give away

sakari09 · (#70 (**permalink**))

I get that a lot too. I regret giving them away. *cry* I thought about making my own art business, but it would depend on how much I charge per drawing. Whether it's in ink or pencil...I don't think I would do any paintings.
