Hello, Im not a forum regular but when I passed by I saw that a lot of people here draw, and I just wondered if I could ask for some tips or comments, since I wanna be a mangaka.. Heres a sample, please dont be too hard its my 1st time to use photoshop and I just doodled for a few minutes..

Overall i would have to say that it's not too bad at all ... ^__^

You seem to have a fairly good grasp of the whole "head/face" region so i will not comment on that at all ...

The main criticism i would have is that the hands are just too small ... they are drawn relatively well they just need to be bigger ... I used to do the same thing ... the main thing to remember is how big someone's hand is compared to their face/head ... I mean it's honestly about the same size ... so just keep that in mind and keep drawing you defnintely have lots of potential Very Happy

Actually thats a bad face I have drawn, since Face/Eyes have been my strong point and yes, you got me, Hands and Feet have always been my weakness sir.. I have trouble drawing fingers.. And I dont have much access to anime and I have to practice on my own.. Thanks for the comments Ill try harder and post some work here, thank you.. Smile

Heres another, I didnt color it yet so you may see the drawing more clearly.. I think the hands are okay, but still a little too small?

Start out drawing them big at first (a la Megaman X style) --- trust me. Once you can grasp the anatomy of a bigger hand, shrinking it to a slender one turns out to be surprisingly easy. I think the face looks a bit awkward, but overall, this stuff has definately got some potential. Keep it up.

Legs no good. Need better facial expression.

I must say, the color is well done but the scale of the character really need to put more research on the actual human figure.. Try to redraw few manga character from any manga with good character figure, u'll eventually find out the way, make sure both side of the half body equal in scale. Smile

Actually I would say the body would have to be a little bit bigger, (Yep, you can complain to me all about it, I made my head too big... all the time. Or sometimes hilariously too small.) I am having amazing trouble with drawing hands, so... eh a tutorial would really be really helpful.

i believe if the body was a little bigger or maybe buffer the pic would look better, but its my opinion so u dont have to listen to it
