Who do you think you are? Margaret Keane?

Yeah, manga/anime is more than just popping “big eyes” into an image. Looks weird doesn’t it? Too much egg nog.

A Milo Manara Christmas

I’m sure a lot of comic fans remember the stink over MM’s Spider Woman cover a few years back; well here’s a similar pose. Again, not why you…

Cut n’ chop

Earlier this month I posted an image about holding swords, and here is a similar pose to that one, but from a different angle.

Must go to St. Trinian’s!

Ok, another school girl outfit… what there is of it. There’s a lot of click bait out there, and sometimes I’ll grab shots just to practice stuff. I…

Slice n’ Dice

I’ve mentioned before how I hate it when people draw handles too thin, only way to fix that, is to practice it. Plus, who doesn’t like a classic…

Ink is the new black

Simple black and white, but working on the inking, never happy with it. 

Feels like the upper 80s in here

Well, ok maybe more like 81? Something about this screams like it needs floating triangles, a perspective grid, and neon lettering.

No personal calls!

I’m pretty sure I’ve drawn this image before, from one of my pose files. Again, every day actions, always a challenge. From holding the phone, wearing a jacket,…

You cold? I’m not…

It’s that time of year people start thinking of warmer places. Here’s a pose file pic, with some summer wear to warm you up. Trying out that whole…

Hate to see you leave–

But love to watch you go. Kind of like Thanksgiving, you know, the last one…period. A lot of people will only draw characters from the front, especially in…

I see the turkeys before me…

Well, the day is coming up. More pose file stuff–

They keep riding up

Another pose file image, from the section before all the fan service shots.

Tell me more about my eyes

Another pose file image, all about the hair, hat, and glasses

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…
