Mark the Echidna Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Hmm... Looking good. But I think his eyes are too big, even for anime. And he has no eyebrows or ears... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 On the sword, neck, and beneath the arms, i guess i should have put a bit more work into that, 'cause i did it in about 10 minutes -Flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 It's cute. Mainly because of the huge eyes. ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null1024 Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I like how big the sword is. And how cute the pic is. Yay for happy anime!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone2040 Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Hrmm... I really wouldn't say it's 'Anime' style. Big eyes don't automatically make it anime. Most styles would be more proportionate and accurate to how humans actually look. It's probably what you were going for, but it just seems a bit lacking, and you could make it look a whole lot better if there was some good shading on the unshaded parts like the hair, the face, the pants, shoes. Also improving the shading on the shirt and sword at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 The eyes are too big and don't look anime-esque at all. Take a look at a picture for reference next time. The hair looks like plastic, though I can't really put my finger on what's wrong. The head is huge, and lacks the proper shape for a head. Other than that, this isn't bad (better than I can do, anyway.) I'd just recommend looking at a reference next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hRook Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Consider elbows. Also, human bodies aren't straight vertical lines. The face looks more like American cartooning than anime. The inking is incredibly sloppy, needs touching up. Put a lot more effort into shading. Forehead needs to be larger, as the hairline (part where the frontmost bangs grow from) is far too close to the eyes. And, give the guy some eyebrows. Also, considering the size of his hands, he's not going to be able to grip that sword hilt at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terid Kane Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 This is the closest to anime style your character gets. It's good for a start, but you should try to copy something from an anime magazine to improve your style. This one is very old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
