Another manga study:

I started on another drawing. I really like using pencil better. I also like realism better than manga… I guess because I find it more satisfying with the results. Anyway, here is nothing in particular other than a picture I found that I thought would look good drawn. Pencil and sketch pad about 30 mintues worth of work so far.

TASP - Thanks. It started to be just a doodle but I just continued to chip away at it and now I am going to finish it out or quit when I get bored with it.
I am drawing in the ocean landscape and I never drawn water before. Any suggestions?
hey aggie, long time no see.
New piece is comin out strong,dont quit on it. Keep at it :banghead: this might end up being one of those pieces whee you level up 
an update: I think I have the head too large. I will work on this a little. Let me know what y’all think.

Hey Aggie
I really love your drawings. Your doing great. I can really see the progress. What a wonderful journey this art is :). I guess I should pluck up some courage and start a sketchbook thread. You wouldn’t believe how intimidated I feel though lol.
Manaia - I appreciate the kind words. But do not be intimidated, that is what these forums are designed for. If you could only see my earlier posts when I got started back after years of nothing since high school art. I started posting and trying the challenges in these forums and the feedback has helped so much. Start your sketchbook thread and you will see the help come through. Also, do not get discouraged if you do not hear from anyone in a few days or weeks. It has been slow on this thread. everyone must be busy.
Later!
nWOW, I haven’t posted in 6 months. Well another semester of doctorate school went by. Ugh. Well as a stress reliever I drew!
It is called “Art to Life” Traditional Pencil.

awesome progress here. On your last post, check where her left breast begins up by her shoulder. You may want to move it down a bit. Check out characterdesings.com. There you’ll find tons of photosets. It’s great resource site.
Thanks Vicmonty. I will look at that. I am still working on it but may be too far into it now.
WIP
adding background

that’s right, call it when you feel it’s right and grab another subject. Check out characterdesigns.com for ref. I use their photosets often.
