EDIT: Someday... someday, I'm going to do a better anime tutorial since this one is so ugly. D:

Okay, so I wanted to do this for a while, and I finally ended up doing it. It started off good and then I kind of just got lazy at the end. It took me while, nevertheless. I put it under the digital art category merely because I drew it in Photoshop CS2, but you can use this for traditional drawings tool. Some of the drawings I really don't like, but I'm not going to spend more time on it when it already took me a few hours to do. Also, if I add more information to the tutorial, it'll be WAY too long. Therefore, I hope it's helpful the way it is.

Ha ha, it all depends on what job it is if I'm able to get one. xD Maybe I could do both--the job and then the tutorial in my free time. We'll have to seeee~!

It's only easy because I had copy and paste. 8D Ha ha, but it's really not. Even I still have trouble every now and then, even though I've been practicing for so long. You could say I'm a slow learner. :/

Thanks umm, got any tips? I'm not very good at all, but i'm really trying to get into anime. So I'm trying to find anyone that might be able to help. I've tried a few people, but so far, no luck

ember-snow In reply to bubblesthelight [2011-03-11 21:40:14 +0000 UTC]

Tips, hm?? Well, let's see. First of all, guidelines actually do help a lot when you're trying to figure out how to draw a face. My manga tutorial in the description of this deviation should show you how to use them. Also, it helps if you understand proportions and study actual photographs of people so that you can see how things are arranges on the body. Same with folds in clothing and drawing the body (such as hands and feet and so forth)--study real-life photos and then adapt a style to your drawings once you are ready. Lastly, practice, practice, practice. I'm still practicing. You can never stop improving. C:

Alright. Sounds great I'll try to practice a bunch and I'll show you my progress sometime (lol if you don't mind) Uhh, I saw your journal too, and I dunno how old your last entry is, but if it's recent, Good Luck on your Finals!
