| I'm practicing drawing fighting positions and stuff this month. Lineart:  Half finished CG (gave up on the highlights and shadows, since it's more time consuming with a mouse and I don't have my tablet):  (edited by Ramsus on 03-20-05 08:42 AM) |

| I'd say you're on a roll. The thick diagonal lines used for extra shading makes it look vintage. I like it! |

| Looks good! The guy's left foot looks a little weird in the CG, though. | |||

| Now I'll demonstrate the making of a short fight scene, starting with simply drafting the idea on paper: Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 It's hard to follow at first, but we'll fix that in the next step. Todo: - Add a setup shot that sets the location and the background - Add a panel before the last two that shows the blonde guy crashing into the girl. - Add a panel that shows the scarfed boy's hands inside the jackets of the two men as he grabs their guns. - Add dialog? Nah. - Clean up the panel layouts and add backgrounds. - Use a lot more motion lines to emphasize the speed of the scarfed boy's movements. EDIT: The next step is to make a rough draft showing the panel layouts and featuring better art. I went ahead and added some dialog plus some hints to a backstory in order to create interest. The first panel should be a forest road under a moonlit sky, but I was too lazy to finish adding detail.

Looks good! I like the 1st panel on page 3.  |

| That looks a lot better. That kid is scary! | |||

| Wow, cool work. I'm going to agree with the critique on the foot in the linework/CG, it seems a little... flat? I like the sketches for the fight scene, and the inkwork too. I'm not ambitious enough to try doing any manga with my artwork, so I commend you. |

| That's because the left leg is in an awkward position for supporting the body, and the left foot is disproportionate to everything else. Anyway, I added screen tones to the 3rd page to make it look better, but you have to see a black and white print at 600dpi for the full effect. EDIT: Second and third page:   (edited by Ramsus on 03-22-05 11:40 PM) |

| Wow you have some skill. Are you going to continue to draw after this month ends? I would really like to see you take this hobby and make a little something out of it. I think that you could do that pretty nicely. THe only party I don't like is the chibi effect on page 3 and how the kid was styled off of Naruto. But that is just my opinion. | |||

| That kid's been compared to several characters already by different people (including some eternal fighter or something from Suikoden and Naota from FLCL). I just like spiky hair and either big collars or scarfs, along with random humor and visual gags. Anyway, I'm starting to practice doing completely inked, toned, and ready-to-print comics this month as an exercise. I want to take my skills more seriously, but to do that I need to work hard. I'm going to be practicing every day, trying new things or perfecting current skills, until I can't draw anymore or I find a career that I really like. Just within a few months I should improve quite a bit, so this summer I'm planning on doing an entry for Tokyopop's next Rising Stars of Manga contest. |

| Now it looks even better... Am I the first person to notice the robot-like eye in panel 5, page 3? |

| No, but you're the first I've heard describe them as "robot-like." Anyway, I got some other ideas for things I'd like to try out, so I finished drafting the first 14 pages of this one for a friend and called it quits. (edited by Ramsus on 03-24-05 09:52 AM) |
