[Koiya]

Wow thats very good... more like awsome i wish i was that good
um if i had to crit something (really dont want to cause you draw way better then me) probably sesshomaru's face is a bit out of shape cant really tell though it's only minor the one of inuyasha is perfect though
It really looks professional im really amazed, if your drawing as a hobbie i suggest you get into it as a job!! your really good

[L.S.N MANGA FREAK GIRL]

thats very good what did you use ballpen pencil or the computer. it would be very nice and wounderful if you can draw some more i would be very greatful to see your other drawings
when did you start learning to draw?

[MS_Yumiko]

Thank you very much! I used markers and black ink pens! I'll try to get the names of the markers and pens for you guys and gals! I'll even try to put the picture that I used to draw it.
Thank You!:

Issuing a Challenge!
To: Anyone viewing this site!
This is not really a challenge but a way to make this site fun and to help me with inspiration. If anyone would like a particular picture drawn, please ask me, post the picture and I will try to the best of my ability for you. The picture must be pertaining to anime/manga.
The reason for this challenge because I'm bored with the usual pictures that I draw and I want to expand my horizons. I thought this might be fun and interactive! Any problems let me know.
Thank you!

You're not ctictizing but giving helpful advise! you are so right about sesshamarou's face. I think I'll try to draw him over but being extra careful with his face. I don't think the inuyasha is perfect though, aroud the mouth needs some adjustment.
Thank You though!

alright...i'll reply to both the criticizing part and ur challenge ^^

for inuyasha: the dark, thick looking line in the middle of his face should be used with a thin tipped pen and spread apart, so it won't bunch and make it look like a deformed scar. The shadows on his hair is too jagged. The shadows should conform to the angle the hair is drawn in, no extra weird lines, unless you are drawing in little pieces of hair, then i would suggest using the thin tipped pen again. The eyes are slightly crooked, maybe draw a line for where the eyes should go before drawing the eyes out. The mouth is also crooked, but i think in this case it is less noticeable because of the shadow beside the mouth. But the putting the shadow too close makes it look bad as well. try leaving more space and making the shadow smaller/lighter. Otherwise, you have very good sense for lighting and working with black and white and pens was it?
for sesshoumaru: the face is crooked. try adjusting the eyes once again. The hair shouldn't be shaded in too much, a good idea would be just taking a thick tipped pen to make the lines thicker. the fur is nicely done however, more detail could be added in with the pen. The pattern on his shirt should probably be colored in in some parts, to give a more balanced and nicer looking image. That or use thicker lines to make them stand out.

Now for your challenge, when you mention anime/manga, do you want fanart or official images posted?
anyways, here's a semi-decent Itachi image: http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...achiuchiha.jpg

Seriously......an essay! lol.
Thanks for the tip and the challenge. any sugestion for what type and brand of pens i should used because i just use regular markers and black ink pens nothing fancy or professional. just normal black ink pens or CD pens or permanent markers.

lol i'm used to writing whole essays...5 years in highschool with more than 3 art classes each year and some kind of paragraph to write explaining and critiquing art does that to ppl. >_>"

lol i use the same kind of pens too!^^ XD tho i think i like the oil based markers, ones that don't dissolve or smudge... reminds me that i gotta buy some more of those. well, the most that i want out of the pens is that it doesnt leak or smudge/dissolve... well dissolve only when i'm doing a wash of a sort. then i might use india ink and a pen, even tho it's harder to control, but it makes nice textures. sharpies are really good as they can bleed. i use pentel hybrid technica black gel pens for thin lines and just all around outlining but i also use paper mate thin fine liners, but those smudge and dissolve, so i usually replace that with the oil based markers. and that would be a japanese product...and i can't tell you the brand..it didnt say. i find calligraphy pens to be nice to use from time to time as you can change the tip to different patterns. the uni-ball deluxe micro is really great for thin lines too (its thinner than the pentel one) and dries faster.
