first ever attempt at anime

ladies and gentlemen, what you are about to see may shock and/or horrify you.

hmmm...looks good--a correction, if I may;

The right side of her face is too far over--from the perspective you have, it should hug the features of the face, the eyes and the mouth, and not portrude as far out. (this is HER right side, left if you're looking at it). If you'd like, I could sketch something really quickly to better demonstrate what I mean...

Other than that, everything looks really well done. Her left eye might be a little too far to the left (our right...), and I would add some semblence of a jawline (thats just me mind you), but the hair, eyes, and overall face is very well done, it has all the characteristics of an anime face, which is what you were going for, so GOOD JOB.

*thumbs up*

her right eye (our left) is a bit wonky, i've noticed. thanks for the crit; i'd love if you could do a sketch for me. i've been wanting to try anime for some time now, but i don't have photoshop nor a scanner, so i'm stuck with pencils and crayons (yes, crayons.)

Crayons rock, man! Hunter got all I noticed- that's freakin awesome if it's your first try! Man, that's better than I did on my tenth try lol.

the two kings of anime like my work! yay! *happy dance*

i can't seem to do bodies- does anyone know a site where i can copy some? or, better yet a site with guidelines on how to draw them?

Yes, its called real life.
You can get them 24/7, even from a mirror!

Or... www.saveloomis.org
there was a site that had different nude poses everyday, perhaps that would work, try googling it.

Oh hey, another thing--her ear's way too low....the ears line up with the eyes....here I'll sketch this real quicjk to show you...

here go....a few rules though:

1) no compraing the two.
2) No commenting on mine, this is Harley's thread.
3) this took five minutes, don't be mad cuz it sucks.



In case y'all can't read my bad handwriting, here's what it says, counte clockwise from top.

Harley's Girl (Hunter Syle)
Indent @ eye
Cheekbone!
Indent @ mouth
Pointy chin (for girls and girly guys)
Partial Jawline (for girls)
My art signature

Hunter I love your handwriting lol. Anyway, are you serious this is your first attempt, Harley?? My gosh, I STILL can't draw like that and I've been trying for months lol! Great job.

WOW! Harley that's awesome!! Your colouring's good!

yes and in real life our legs are perfectly straight and our eyes are bigger than our mouths.

thanks for your help, hunter. i want to draw slightly rounder faces, though, like this:



i love the art in that show; they have great hair and clothes

Oh I see what you're doing...okay then--my mistake

Also hunter, in your sketch that you did, it shows the face slightly facing up, which means you should see less of a pointy chin, and more of the underside of the jaw.

That Cardcaptors oh well good, better than i can all i ever draw is Knights an Swords, especially Swords.

Yeah but weapons are easy, I mean, metal of a stick.

Knights would be tougher.
