Bring it, Bond!

Bah dah, buuuuum, bah dah, buuuuum– bah dah, bah, bah, dah!

I don’t do windows, or carry heavy crap!

They call this “heavy lifting” in acting…

Did you pinch my…

Another waitress image from a. pose file.

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…

Veteran’s Day

Well, it’s military related, what with the gear and all, so here’s an image from another Japanese pose file reference. I always fight to make helmets look like…

Kiss my grits!

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…

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?

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.

I admit, I like this one better converted to grayscale. Maybe this time it’s because of her outfit? Here’s how it looked originally.

Washi you were here

This was originally a blue image, but I liked it more converted to gray. That might be because it was a pain, and I redrew it multiple times….

Black is the new blue

Pulled out a marker for this one. It was a blue line, but haven’t inked on paper in a while. Nothing special.

Blue right down my shirt

Based on a photo book. Not sure if she was just putting the sweater on, taking it off, looking for crumbs, checking for spiders … who knows? Still…
