Micki!'s manga drawings (and non manga if i feel like it)
« on: February 01, 2007, 03:08:10 PM »
Since my old thread disappeared, i repost my thread, witha a slightly different name (this time i will probably show other things than just my manga stuff)

Anyways, i'm too lazy to put all my stuff in here just now, so i'll post only one drawing for now


It's excel, drawn in free hand using my (cheap, veeeery cheap) tablet for drawing... made in MS Paint with the pencil tool only...

It would most probably have looked much more detailed on paper :o

Pretty good, I can see the roots of being designed from the earlier volumes of the series (more like middle actually) but I can't figure out what she is doing... the egyptian? balanceing on one leg?? Kung Fu fighting???

Need i say again that it was a cheap piece of junk i used to draw with..? :Ecry:

That said, that is why it would most probably look so much better on paper, so don't mind the quality on this one... i fully agree with anyone here, that her proportions look a little strange, her pose wierd, and other stuff... Please don't mind that, it's just a cheap-tablet drawing in MS Paint...

The tablet was bought for 299 DKK (that is about 52 dollars) it was with an optical mouse (bleh, won't use it) and 3 software CD's
It was more or less woth the money, but i only got it because i wanted to know how tablets are like before i got a good one (though, it's hard to judge with this one... especially because it's so tiny)

About her pose, she's running off, while saluting to the viewers

Anyways, here's some paper stuff

I posted this one last time too, i'll repost some of my earlier stuff hre as it got lost
Yes, i know her waist is too small, her face looks inaccurate, shading looks strange, eyes are too close to each others etc... it's the first manga drawing i made where i bothered using shading


Alien form the movie Alien
I draw these creatures alot too

Haha, I like it. Your pencil work, that is. Plenty fun to look at. I perceive a future manga-ka in the making.

However, I noticed a couple things I thought I should tell you. I really like the first pencil image compilation of Excel, Hyatt, Menchi and Rikudo. I did notice, however, that Excel's bodily proportions are a bit off. For example, the large image of Excel with her right arm out. The arm is a little short compared to her body structure. Secondly, her torso-to-waist formation is awkward. Her hips should be a little teeny-tiny-bit higher. Third, her left hand should normally be resting upon the hip, not higher (unless you were intentionally putting her hand higher, which is unnatural); and it appears her hand is resting on the fabric of her shorts, where it should be resting upon her hips, the fabric pulled in.

The rest I would mention are just little things. I love the artwork, a pleasure to look at. I especially enjoy Excel reaching for Menchi (hence the intentional super-deformed structure of the image).

If you want to study anatomy, there's a pretty good book out by Graphic-Sha about bodies and anatomy. Also, are you using the traditional stick-figure body format? From what I can tell, it doesn't appear that way.

Sure.  Just tell your friends you couldn't cook Menchi because you were too busy getting high.  They'll understand.

Thank you..!

The stuff you mention is stuff i'm already aware of i'm affraid... (proportions and stuff) i have a clear image in my head of how exactly it should be... i have photographic memory (it's part of some symtoms i have, but that's irrelevant to the subject :o)
I have a really bad habit (this is true, it's a real-life bad habit) in realizing my mistakes, first when i'm near done with my stuff... i always refuse to edit it, as i have already come so far
I also hate using time on drawings, so i often rush when doing pretty much anyhting

I vary in using techniques... the stick/line method you mentioned was not used with this one...
I use it sometimes, i'm not used to it like any professionals do though, so that's why i only do it sometimes... i'm not familar enough with it to use it always...
My ways of drawing is quite (almost even too ordinary) simple...
I use normal paper of any kind i find, mostly just A4 papers for printers etc... i could use thicker papers or stuff, but for me it really doesn't matter much
I never use different kinds of pencils either... i feel uneasy with them, as i have no idea how to use them properly
Therefor i always use the regular pencil kind (i think it's called H2)

since i have never learned, or been educated in the ways of art, anything i do is stuff i have learned to do myself... Since i've come so far as i have now, i'm simply not used to use any existing techniques (or equipment), that is why i only try them out sometimes

I realize it will be of great help to learn at least basics of these methods, and i don't know really why i don't try and learn them... i guess i never really pull my act together to make it happen

Anyways, having said all this, i'm still glad that you like it... means alot to me... maybe i should really try doing the stick-character thing more often... the times i've been using it i haven't had as many flaws as when i didn't use it

Wow!  I'm jealous now!  I really like that pencil drawing with Excel and Hyatt and the drawing you just posted is awesome!  
I wish I could draw like that. :Ecry:

This would be why HA1L :P

And that tree girl seemed interesting, reminded me of Slayers (I guess the earrings did) and Osaka was pretty good but her face seemed a bit long

Are you planning to go professional and make some sort of living out of this?

I'm trying to get a job by drawing stuff, but i don't know what i'll be drawing
I'm either trying to be concept artist, or Comic Book artist...

I don't know how i'll manage to be either of both, i really wish ways to do it were easier for me (need some help, or knowledge i guess... who the hell should i contact for instance)

I would mostly want to be comic book artist, because everyone could see my work then... Being concept artist dopesn't really influence people around me the same way, i'd rather want to be known as a person who made people happy with what i made...

That said, yeah, i'm trying... :)

I'm telling stories again, better keep on topic:
Here's the first stage of the girl i posted here earlier... before i decided how her clothes should look like...

SHE'S NOT NAKED!!! :Eangry:
