Ready for my close up!

More from one of the “How to” manga books. You may recognize the model from a previous post, but this time she’s just a reference, as they didn’t…

Stop screening your drawings!

Hitting back to the first volume for this one, so no alternate angles this time.Their pic–Their more realistic version– Their manga style– And my shot–

I’m only afraid of the move you practiced a million times

Bruce Lee said something like that, and practice does make perfect… or at least gets you closer to it. Drawing, like the martial arts, is a perishable skill….

Please hang up, and draw again.

Sketches from the other manga instruction book I’ve been working from lately. The photoTheir direct shot– Their manga version– And my direct rendering– Their alternate angle photo–And my…

You see what I’m seeing?

More alternate image sketching, but from the other volume. Here is the first pose from the reference volume, and you can see that they even include the center…

I think I’m turning… you know.

Well only if you’re old enough, probably. Anyway, working from another Japanese “How to draw manga” book, and as before, I can’t tell if it’s a Japanese publication,…

Willy Wonky Work in Progress

Been sketching from a “How to” book on drawing manga. This is one I found online, but I can’t tell if it’s a Japanese book that was published…

Baby steps… in tiny little geta.

All the images this week were done on the same day within an hour or so. I’ve presented them in the order they were drawn, to show the…

More sketches based on the “Costume Pose File-04”, my sketch, followed by ref.

Still working on getting heads right when it comes to manga styled images. I’ve been looking at multiple artists, various “how to” books, and no matter how they…

Need me some non-slip school slippers

Girls in anime/manga sure do fall down a lot. You’d think they’d wear more safety gear?

Sumo do, sumo don’t

Wait, that’s already the name of a show isn’t it? Nevermind. You gotta practice right? I mean Scandal (Japan) could call and ask me to draw their latest…

Man, oh man, oh manga

Yeah, still working on stuff out of the pose book.

Konnichiwa!

Yep, at it again. Was flipping thru an old pose file, may as well practice. 

Kamen Rider Toriniku!

A very quick sketch for a friend who sends me insane stuff— The obligatory – Toriniku Kick! With tamago timer belt!

Don’t JAKQ me around!

Some of the most confusing costume choices ever, are in the tokusatsu show JAKQ. Mostly that silly jacket for the first commander, and the all white costume that…

Rule the ring, Asuka!

A friend is a huge Asuka the wrestler fan. I did this drawing, and there is an inked version, but of course I prefer pencils. I did bump…

A little more Amabie for good luck!

The Amabie image I posted yesterday was actually the second version I did, and (I think) the better of the two, but here’s the first one. I’m doubling…

Amabie wishes everyone the best of luck!

I love Japanese folklore, with all the ghosts (yurei), monsters (yokai), paranormal stuff (like ikiryo), but I also consider kaiju to be a modern day addition to all…
