What annoys me about this topic?

The fact that everyone keeps calling it anime, when anime is in fact ANIMATED.
What you're drawing is manga, and since manga actually means "comic" in Japanese, it's not even that. It's more like what many mangas generally look like. But believe me, there is a lot of manga that doesn't look like this at all.

However, manga is a generally accepted term for this "style", so I guess you should call it that. Just please learn to separate manga and anime.

Manga and anime both have the same characters. Just one is animated and the other isn't. This is essetially just a character. If you want to call it either, there would have to be more than just a drawing. So technically, it's neither; it's a drawing of an anime, manga character.

No. If it's a drawing of a manga/anime character, the character has to exist and be featured in a manga/anime show.

No. There are mangas without animes and vice versa. The one isn't always based on the other. If it's the style you're talking about, then as I've said before, style varies at least as much in anime as it does in western animation.
Also, for something to be qualified as anime it HAS to be animated, 'cuz that's what anime is all about. One could, for the same reason, argue that for something to be called Manga, it would have to be a comic. They would be right. However, for the sake of simplicity, manga is an accepted term for this style. If it wasn't we'd have to say, "I drew this picture in a style that resembles the style seen in many Japanese comics" instead of just saying "I drew me some manga".

As said before, you have talent, but color, detail, and maybe a zoomed out portrait would make this look awesome. Perhaps you could even add a subtle background, to give it more character.

You know, I'm not sure I get your definition of manga style.
In Japan manga would be anything related to comics, what-so-ever. Even Donald Duck.
In the west we tend to define manga as any comic from Japan.
Defining it like that would mean that if a drawing somehow resembles any Japanese comic, it would be manga style.
The sense of what is manga style would hugely depend on which series a person has read and what style of artwork he/she fancies.

Post by: Sabata on June 05, 2009, 05:51:09
And the key word here is majority. Just because it doesn't particularly seem to be stylized towards the mainstream, stereotyped kind of 'manga,' doesn't mean that it can't be called manga in itself. 'Manga' is just the Japanese word for 'comics,' and there is nothing in any definition that specifies how an image must look to be considered manga. It's up to the artist to decide that for themselves.

I really don't think we should be arguing about this. It's supposed to be a thread for discussion about Evil's piece (as well as comments on others, if they are posted, I guess. But Evil started the thread)

Evil, yours looks pretty good (the eye perspective especially). The only things that bug me are the lineart's random thickness (if you're drawing with a mouse or mouse pad, try using the pen tool for lineart, it works really well), and the width of the neck. If you're trying for an anime style, they generally tend to have small necks. Also, work on the hair physics - the bangs are going right while the rest of her hair is pointed towards the right. Oh, and if you have illustrator, you can get brush sets from deviantArt and other sites that will be thicker in the middle, like an actual stroke, without needing a tablet of some sort.

I'd also suggest looking at the various tutorials on deviantArt (http://www.deviantart.com) as well as people's various images. That can help to get body structure correct, which I tend to have some trouble with. I also have a relatively small imagination for character design, but I'm trying to open up from that particular problem. :P

Of course, you should work on detail, coloring, and shading as well.

LightningEagle, I like yours a lot; there's nothing I can pick out that I really don't like about it. The mood shows that there's a good deal of plot behind the image; is it based on something from Square Enix, maybe?

I'm used to drawing using only the mouse pad, ever since my tablet broke.
And I'm too lazy to color on illustrator. D:
Title: Re: Attempt at drawing anime
Post by: Sabata on June 18, 2009, 16:22:46
Have you tried live painting? You could scan in a hand-drawn image, ink it with the pen, and then color it with the live paint tool. It works really well. :D

The image I attached was done all in illustrator with the live paint and pen tools, in about 10 minutes. ( The eyes were what I put the most effort into, the mouth is horrible. XD ) Live Paint's really nice if you want some simple artwork with coloring, without using a tablet. The gradients are a bit tougher to use than in Photoshop, though; the interface is a lot different.

Also, like LightningEagle said, you're pretty good at doing perspective with those eyes. They look great. :D

I find it a terrible calamity for the mankind that people want to draw manga. I always find it a bit weird to copy someone else's style and not look for your own. Especially when there are also people who think manga as "a way of making ugly drawings seem reasonable" (not that this would be happening here, referring to some things at DA). :( But I guess that can't be helped, so go on. I hope drawing "anime" will teach you things you can use later on to create your own distinct style. Sorry for the rant-like post; draw as much as possible and whatever you want, but in the end, try to search for your own way of drawing!

Evil: I fear that this may come out as ranty-sounding or useless or evil or something like that, but indeed, in drawing the most important thing is just to draw constantly and as often as possible, just to make yourself better at it. People that have got a good grasp of drawing/painting may draw/paint very cool characters/scenes even without knowing anatomy or perspective or such. The examples you've shown here don't really show how well you've got hang on drawing (they look nice, but they're quite simplistic) so it isn't easy to say anything about what to do next or how the pictures actually look. I think it might be best to just draw a lot in different styles instead of trying to start using a special style, it'd be a very good way to learn eye for design.

Didriking: You seem to have somewhat of hold of the face, apart from the eyes - the sketches look fine. I suggest you start next learning some more body anatomy; when drawing full characters, it comes in really handy. Also you might enjoy trying a bit more natural and smaller eyes? They're currently quite big compared to the other face.

EDIT: Oh, and looks like the definition of "what's anime & manga" was argued and then described rather well. Cheers!

Even though Salmoneus' slight rudeness isn't very polite (rudeness isn't polite, am I clever or what), I must agree that they're both far from perfect and need a lot of work.

It strikes me strange that people try to draw something as hard as manga and some of them actually think that it'd be 'easier' than aiming for a realistic look.

Hmm. Rudeness. It seems even here it cannot be avoided


Anyway, you bring up a lot of valid points, Hempuli. Why do so many call their art style Manga? And for that matter, what exactly is Manga? In Japan, it simply means comic, or something along those lines. Even Donald Duck is considered Manga there.
In the west, however, Manga is associated with the art style that we see in comics or cartoons originally from Japan. Sadly, we also take that to mean big eyes, no nose and really, really spiky hair, even though that's does not all properly describe many of the works within the term Manga.
Truth is, the western term manga applies to a very broad scene of sub-styles, so to speak. It's like how two bands can be labelled under the same musical genre, yet still sound vastly different.
And then there's personal thoughts on the matter. I, for one, do not consider this latest piece of mine (http://fav.me/d2c7h90) ( :P ) manga, even though I do consider most of my work fitting under that category. I do however figure, that some people would think of it as manga, even if I don't.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, so what if some people draw so called "manga"? Maybe that is their personal style. As long as they enjoy doing it, and are not obviously ripping off someone else work, there's no harm done.
