Chopstick Hairpiece Contest [CLOSED]

[AhGwee]

Not sure if I can help you with human anatomy Shiki but I used to use a book called Dynamic Anatomy by Burne Hogarth for reference. It has many different postures when drawing the human body though its different for drawing anime characters.

All in all I think that's a really well drawn piece of work.

 

[renano]

Thinking too much will hinder your drawing...

Go back to the drawing once you feel more relaxed.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm i think the anatomy is passable... legs are better now anyway xD

 

[Shir0]

mmmh...the only part i am so-so satisfied with is the head.

@ rena. i know what you mean with that. letting the lines "flow" and stuff by applying less pressure.

@ saint. thanks. at least others find this ok.

@ sam. that stuff behind the sleeves...well, its some kimono-esque thing.

wrinkles and shadow. id like to be able to do that myself...of course i look at other images to see how its done (since i cant do it myself xD), but somehow...i dont have the motivation, since its a ~hassle~ (i use this word too often...)

and in anime some just have their feet facing that way (such an "inverted" manner...dunno)

background is even more work XDDDD ... <.< ... D:



edit: since its just an omake for the lulz anyways, ill probably leave it as it is. probably wont work any further on this :/
feel like drawing other stuff anways...

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Lol yes i know its some kimono thing (spent who knows how long examining them) but so far it seems a bit forced and out of place~

 

[renano]

Background and coloring... my least favorite.

My 'perfect' senses allow me to take up to days then weeks and then months just for one piece.

There's a way to look 'appealing' without adding much detail, wrinkles, or whatnot.

If you ever read CLAMP manga, all their drawings are actually simple. Just a few lines here and there with subtle detail and movement. I'm mostly referring to their 90s manga.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm clamp xD Havent poked that for a while~

 

[Shir0]

haha :D

just did those sleeves. it was forced XD

clamp manga...not sure if i know that or not~

 

[renano]

CLAMP's current manga aren't as good as their previous works... just decent.

I dislike most of the anime adaptations.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Lol the forced stuff would show through ;p

Hmm imm going to assume cardcaptor sakura is one of the more known clamp works? xD

 

[AhGwee]

Cardcaptors anime was great~

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm yes it was quite fun to watch~

 

[renano]

The older adaptations were fine... I applaud them for the CCS movies and introducing me to Sakura Tange and Junko Iwao.

Of course the other seiyuu were great too.

CLAMP just needs to stop a bit with their cross-overs... It's quite repetitive.

 

[Decalcomania]

-Don't know what's going on-

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

You mean like the tsubasa and xxxholic thing?

 

[AhGwee]

Which crossovers did CLAMP do besides Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles?

 

[renano]

Angelic Layer crossovered or inspired Chobits...

CCS, Chobits, MKR, Angelic Layer, X, Legal Drug, Clamp School Detectives, Dukylon, Tokyo Babylon and a few more were crossovered into Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles and xxxHolic.

This then lead them to use references and all those cross-overs into Kobato.

It's like one cross-over atop another, atop another, and atop another.

I forgot Miyuki-chan, but meh...

They keep incorporating their previous series into their newer works.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

O.o you know a lot about this xD I have no idea what most of those are lol~

 

[Decalcomania]

I love Chobits :3 And I still need to watch the last episode after so many years...

 

[AhGwee]

I liked the Angel Layer opening theme :3

 

[renano]

I've been following CLAMP since the late 90s. Bought the manga, anime, artbooks etc.

I'm a 'fan'.

RG veda is their first work.

X is their 'ongoing' semi-incomplete work that has gained much attention.

Gate 7 is their current work.

Atsuko Enomoto did a great job singing the OP. It was her first debut into the seiyuu industry as Misaki (the main girl of the series).

I 'hate' the ending or last-half of the Angelic Layer series and the pairings in the anime adaptation.

 

[Decalcomania]

I only know Cardcaptor Sakura and Chobits...

 

[AhGwee]

So...what topic should we go into now?

 

[Decalcomania]

Something that we all know. Like the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything, which is the number 42.

 

[renano]

Let's eat cheese!
