altuixde's learning to draw thread

<< < (15/20) > >>

altuixde:
Thanks, Grace! Any suggestions for improving Azusa? It's all pencil so I can still make changes.

Edit: I should also give credit to Christopher Hart's book, Manga for the Beginner. Azusa's pose is from an exercise in said book. Also, her clothes are from the Kagayaki no Mukougawa e! movie.

Amazing_Grace:
You're welcome! :)

Hm...the only thing I can think of is that her face looks a bit off, but I can't seem to pinpoint just what it is that makes me think that. It might be the mouth and nose; both are ever-so-slightly off-center from the chin. From personal experience, I've found that the mouth can be off-center without it looking bad, but the nose usually looks less out-of-place when it's lined up with the chin.

But, I've never used a drawing book as a reference, and am essentially self-taught, so I can't be sure that's the way it's actually supposed to be. ^^" Moving the nose might also make you have to move the eyes, which I think are perfect. So I could be WAY off.

altuixde:
I agree that her face looks a little off. When I compare my drawing to frames from the anime, it's apparent that I actually drew her eyes too big, or at least bigger than what the anime viewers are used to seeing. However, if I change her face, I think that I'm much more likely to redraw it worse than it is now than to redraw it with improvement, so I think I'll leave her face the way it is. I'll keep your suggestions in mind for future reference, though!

Okayu:
I think this image is useful.

altuixde:
Thanks, Okayu! I can't read the text on that image, though. :'(
