Good job. Yes; good job on copying someone elses artistic style. While the art style copy itself is good, I can't give you any positive feedback, mainly because the whole point of even being an artist is to demonstarte your own skill with character design and creation, which you, unfortunately, have not done. Instead, you took the anime artists' art styles, and used them to produce near perfect reconstructions of the characters using that art style. Congradulations. Congradulations on being unoriginal.
Trust me; I'm not saying because I abhore the anime something awful, or because I want to be different and not like everyone else that posted here; I'm stating a rather obvious fact that really needs to be said. I'd like to see some of your original art, with your original style. and maybe even original characters (not required). Until then, I have nothing more to say.
Gilbertman said:yes i understand, i know, yes the style isnt the most original and im working on that, i still consider myself an ameteur, as ive only been doing art now for a little over 2 years, so i got a long way to go, and as for original characters thats a little ironic cuz just a couple weeks ago i started a projesct and will be doing original characters every week, and as for the program thier neighther photoshoped, gimped, what have you the lineart as well as the coloring is done in MS Paint, while resizing of the pic is done in Ultimate Paint to get the lines to look smooth, and the background is done in ULead PhotoImpact which my free trail fo rthat will only last 8 more days so yeah, but i do appreciate your critizism, its becuz of people like you that i do keep inproving, so well i started today working on new lineart stragedies, and here is a little experiement
n, so im trying differnt lineart tell me which one looks better:
the lineart for the 2nd one isnt all the way complete, and i took off thier heads not to spoil what they look like, so tell me if the one on the right is good or the idea is good or what, and perhaps you guys can give me suggestions on how i can make the drawings more my own cuz im stumped cuz i still wanna make em look like the anime but with a personalized touch so yeah
