Redirect to original
Description
finally my really favourite character from claymore, Galateai was eager to draw her for so long now finally, although, even these 3 drawings of her are not enough
i recently found out about Paint SAI and i must say it is perfect program for making linearts
photoshop (drawing) + paint sai(some lines (like hair)), no textures (cloth texture is all brush so its drawed), manga used as reference, i added some minor details but didnt change much, also didnt add facial details where it was not originally - i didnt want to get this out of hand, i spent enough time on it - about 10 hours
also - the eyes are full detail... she is blind...
also i dont trace! its pure me, just imitating..
i like the result, it could be much better though, more of a learning again so no point going for details, i studied the way it is originally drawed and tried to recreate it in my own way, check out some brushes and so
Galatea is well, awesome (it is claymore so it must be ), very strong and formidable, high in rank, one of those few intelligent ones, has sence of humour, is incredibly beautiful and to top it all off she deserted the organization and gave up on being a warrior - it may seem contradicting- saying it is good, but now she is something else something more than just regular claymore (and yes i hope she was secretely training her yoki perception/manipulation so she will kick some serious ass in the future)
also the hair is amazing + she gives us incredible poses on every possible occasion
edit: added scarring on eyes

Yes badass nun Galatea. Even after years without training she's still even with Miata in a battle. AND can prevent herself from getting eaten by a Awakened One.

i have a bad habit of keeping close to the original (even though im drawing everything, if you like poses (or getup) go thank to original creator yagi, i didnt do much, i think i should add the scarring though, good catch

Keeping close to the original isn't abad habit at all. It's great art.

well but capturing the original and imitating it are two different things, it is good when it looks great but i dont want my art to be lifeless copy, unfortunately in this case i have to say it is a bit

Lifeless copy? This is wonderful art, don't sell yourself short.

really? im glad you think so, but i think i totally lack originality or something, when i was doing some lines for this piece ( i had original picture next to the canvas so i draw it good) my friend next to me asked me: why do you draw like this? i told him to get better, imitating someone else's art makes it possible for me to analyze it and figure out ways of drawing, but i think the real reason is that otherwise im unable to come up with something as good - im pissed at myself for this and i constantly find drawing with reference more and more as a cheating, therefore drawing something original is so much more rewarding to me

This looks great, man, I'm telling you. Yagi is one of the best shonen artists out there, and being able to draw as well as he draws is an achievement in its own.

appreciate the compliment, yet i still think you think too high of me this drawing was like this: draw simple sketch, create lines that would be too hard to draw by hand, go over it with some brushes to achieve the effects, done... it was simple if i wanted to create something like this on my own i would have hard time creating just the sketch - pure anatomy skills is just the beginning of all the problems artist like me faces
i like the outcome i think its very good , but i dont think it reflects my drawing abilities and that bothers me

Well, I'm no artist, so I guess I can't give it a professional evaluation- but I like it a lot nonetheless.
