Eh, I drew an attempted anime self portrait/caricature. It's not a *true* self portrait in that some things are exaggerated, so it's some kind of anime caricature thing more than anything.



Click on the image above to see the BIG version (warning, biiiig PNG file)

It's not perfect, but I'm happy with it anyways. Why? Because for once in my lazy life, I bothered to add FOLDS TO THE CLOTHING! Yaay me! They're not perfect folds, but they're folds, they're there, and I did them

Now I just have to KEEP ON DOING THEM! Then one day they might actually look decent

Weee.....

Woa. That is some nasty shit. Very very nicely done. You should make posters or try something not cute, like weapons, big swords, guythings

To keep up the constructive criticism spirit, eh, the glasses looks a bit crooked I think, maybe, who knows.

You should really implement that one in your layout

I know you don't take requests but, if you ever have an opening in your schedule, like, a free year or something and you need something to do, tell me

Hehe, I'm glad you two like it

Jizuko -- with the glasses, it wouldn't really matter if they were crooked. Those glasses have tiny titanium frames, they get tangled in my hair and wind up *really* (real life) crooked anyways (Sometimes they get stuck in my hair and I can't get them out ) Although I wasn't trying to make them crooked in the pic.

As for requests, I may think about it, but at the moment I've actually been going through a drawing slump of sorts where I haven't been finishing a lot of pics. I think it's cause my depression's been nasty lately and I just haven't felt up to drawing much.

Heh, and I'll try to draw something blokey later

Taryn...was this the one you've mentioned elsewhere? You said that there was one you were working on where you yourself actually liked it and I think you mentioned folds.

If it is then i can see why. My one attempt at trying folds left me bitter and eager to kill...

It's good.... The mouth lacks some depth, and it's kinda big. Try drawing one with the mouth closed. Other than that, I love it!

God I feel stupid for not remembering this question.


How long did it take to draw that, and would you mind if I stole your ability to draw?

Yeah, I rambled in my blog about it when it was still in the lineart phase of things. Since then I'm not as enthusiastic about it, having found flaws and stuff (those boobies really worry me ) but I'm still danged happy with me and my attempted folds

I think I'm getting better, I just need to control my urge to rush things and control my ability to get fed up and throw in the towel, so to speak.

Best thing I can suggest with folds is to go stand in front of a mirror with a piece of paper and pen and draw you (roughly) and your shirt (more detailed) and get a feel for how the fabric sits around the body.


EDIT:

Stealing is bad! Er... that took me a few hours to draw (um, about three, by the final revision of the sketch/linework) and a further three or four hours to color All done in Open Canvas 3.something

I blaim my lack of ability to draw that I don't have a wacom tablet .. or something like that. I have trouble drawing a straight line. And yet I have to give in a sketch sample to get into a gamedesign university

Btw, Taryn, if you ever have the freetime, here's two nuts in a crack, guyish and me

Oh that is so cute. ...which could be the way she's sitting or the mouth gaping open the way it is. XD I dunno...

...but regardless, it is really good, as always Taryn.

Yeah, I've been wearing my hair in two little pigtails a bit lately. It's just a *touch* too short to go into one ponytail, but I can get it into two little pigtails fine.

I like little pigtails too, they're kinda cute!

As for the mouth gaping open, eh... I tend to draw myself and my characters as pretty... happy. Not sure why, my only guess is that I'm NOT happy, so I pretend to be happy through my artwork. She's/I'm meant to have a big happy grin there

I don't understand why she wouldn't be happy. She's well drawn. What's to be upset about?

It's very neat, along with the page's Favicon it even fits better
I don't find any serious mistake in that image ... maybe the finger cups seem a little bit to sharp, but that's really only a small detail ^^

Other than that, very good drawing, nice work with the shadings about the clothes and a cute face

Nice, good job.
Are you actually that hot or is that one of the things you exagerated ?
