DWI – Drawing while indecisive

Started out as a standard non-life drawing, then shifted into manga practice. I decided to give the model a more anime looking face, and changed the extended hand…

It’s called clubbing, not “swording”!

I think you got the outfit rocking for a night of clubbing, but your choice in accessories is a bit off.  

Not everything is the Mona Lisa

‘Cause not every drawing is a success. Here’s one that I felt I never got the face right. The reason I picked this shot from a Japanese magazine…

What a life… drawing.

More photo based “life” drawing. No hero assignment, just trying to get things to look right. Her hair was just draped in the photo, so I added some…

Jumping for Jubilee!

More non-life, life drawing. A lot of the mega volume comics in Japan (Shonen Weekly, Big Comic, etc…) will have a couple of pages with pretty girls at…

Baby, if you ever wondered… Wonderland became of me!

One more image based on Yugo Ishikawa‘s Wonderland manga published in the States by Seven Seas.

It’s the most Wonderland time, of the year!

Another sketch based on Yugo Ishikawa‘s Wonderland the manga from Seven Seas. Also, last chance to get on my pre-show list for Baltimore Con which happens this weekend (Oct 18-20)!…

Through the looking glass… and fork.

I’ve really been into the manga series “Wonderland” by Yugo Ishikawa (who also did a really cute/odd  series called “Kappa no Kaikata/How to Breed Kappa” – you can find…

Comic art appreciation in public? Obviously, NOT here!

I saw this over on the Anime News Network website, and it’s not only interesting, but shows how much more respect the Japanese have for comics as an…

More anime, manga, or whatever… sketching.

It is what it is, but I’m still playing with the style. I found a model sheet, (now I can’t remember from what or where), and I liked…

Playing around w/ manga styles

Just playing with the idea of screens and scrapping in whites— meh. Needs more practice. 

Anime & Manga styles

As I was talking about in my last post, it’s odd, but when sketching from life, I feel I’m missing the opportunity to practice my craft, if I’m…

Interviews with Monster Girls

I like the manga, but only found out recently there was an anime version. Enjoy. 

Manga Wednesday

Yeah, “manga wednesday” isn’t really a thing, but here’s a sketch based on Mardock Scramble. I loved Yoshitoki Oima’s “A Silent Voice”, so I bought some other works;…

More manga style…

Here’s Rock & Roll, but sans a lot of his gear. He’s obviously bitter about that. He’ll get over it.

Playing with style…

The new Joe book reminds me of Appleseed, or Ghost in the Shell. I’ve always enjoyed those, so I thought I’d play with the style a little. It’s…

Mo manga!

Still working on this! I got some great reference books thru a family friend who made a recent trip to Japan; so thanks Liu! Here are a few…

Man, oh man, oh Manga

Another manga school girl— careful with that. And for those in the the know… Ta-To-Ba! TaToBa!

Playing with Manga… not the program, just the style

Considering a change, but it’s a bit elusive. Based on Altar Girl, web comic by Kata Kane. First try… meh, and I forgot the spats. If you read…
