Off Topic Forum: My Naruto fanart, how is it?

Gothic YuKai: My Naruto fanart, how is it? - Oct 18th 2006, 4:10AM Link | Report
Man, most of my recent drawings are of Naruto! But oh well, I'm a fan anyway. So, how is it? If you go to my gallery, it's not hard to miss.

Ok, right now I want to take a moment to say that the internet does not convey tone at all, so please, when reading this, keep in mind that I mean it all in a peer-to-peer conversation. I'm going to say what is good, and what needs work. I am not going to pick on you. Ok, now read-

Looks like you're on your way to developing your own style, I can look at your gallery and tell consistantly that it is you. That's a good thing.

Your anatomy is off (but most of us, myself included, suffer from this problem) so I would recomend getting yourself some "How to Draw" books for poses and referance. Now please understand that I am not saying you need to 'learn how to draw' You obviously know how to do that. The trick now is learning how to make your drawing consistantly physically believable. If you have a camera, get your friends to do poses for you and take their picture from several angles to get an idea about how the body works.

A teacher once told me that when you can visualize the picture in your head, and how it relates to the 3D world, then you're set, all you have to do after that is practice making your hands put onto paper what you see in your head.

So that said, my recomendation is to 1) Continue to feel out your own art style, so far, so good. 2) Get referances for your drawings (people, pictures, whatever) and 3) Practice. Practice like heck. The biggest leap in my improvements as an artist have been made when I spent HOURS drawing every day. I've talked with people from Dark Horse, Marvel, DC- they draw 2 hours every day just to maintain/improve their skills.

Hope that was helpful.
