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.

This tutorial is what made me kick myself and say, "YOU. Start drawing. You can do this." And so I did. Thank you for the motivation!

Hair can be pretty hard. Maybe my newer tutorial can help you draw it a slightly different way...? It's still old, and I would love to do a new one if I had time.

you don't have to necessarily draw ear lobes because I don't have earlobes. i was just born without earlobes

ember-snow In reply to NaokoInou [2011-02-06 23:43:17 +0000 UTC]

I suppose not. But most people have them, and most drawings include them. So I just do too.

You draw anime so well~! Especially the face! X3 (Sorry if that sounded strange, I just have a weird obsession with drawing faces. and failed at doing so. XD)
Two questions... what program do you use and how can I get it? XD (I only have paint, sooo~)

ember-snow In reply to nekos4lifeandever [2011-02-06 23:45:00 +0000 UTC]

This is soooo old. xD; I really should make a new tutorial, but they're so time-consuming and are a lot of work. Nah, it didn't sound strange. My favorite part is drawing the face too.
In this tutorial, I used Photoshop CS2. My dad downloaded it from somewhere, so I don't know. I guess you'd have to buy it or figure out how to download it.

Really? If you're any better than this, I think... I'll explode. It's too GOOD! DX

Ah, I see. ^.^ I guess I'll just have to wait- my dad's going to get photoshop. sometime. Probably not soon, though. DX

This is three years old. I would hope I've improved since then! Ha ha.

Ooh, well, that will be fun!

nekos4lifeandever In reply to ember-snow [2011-02-06 23:55:32 +0000 UTC]

Woah! I have to look at some of your newer art, then! ^.^

Yeah, it will be! ^.^ I love drawing using computer programs, but I swear MS paint WANTS to annoy me. DX

ember-snow In reply to nekos4lifeandever [2011-02-07 00:21:30 +0000 UTC]

They are pretty nice to use. I'm not a big fan of drawing in MS Paint either, ha ha. Nowadays, I use Paint Tool SAI instead of Photoshop, though.

ember-snow In reply to Jet4321 [2011-02-04 06:34:58 +0000 UTC]

It takes a lot of practice. I find realism harder, myself.

Thank you. I've been drawing for fourteen years. It took me a long time to get to the point where I considered my stuff to be decent enough to display here. It's all about practice and determination.

Pocky profile picture? I didn't have a profile picture with pocky in it. If you're talking about my previous dA icon, I replaced it with a custom icon made by a friend.
