For thoughs who doesnt know what it is, its a picture of Sakura and Sasuke from Naruto. This picture took a half of my day to draw.I kinda fixed it after i scaned it but this is the basic thing.


Thanks to those who help!

Nice ~ You should get someone to colour it in PhotoShop or seomthing if you're scared of ruining it.

hey lol nice idea :lol: i never thought of it that way. but i still want to try something new with my drawings

hmmmmm you dont draw alot do you. go for shading. i used to think that shading will always ruin my pic but it doesnt. just keep in mind that its art so dont rush it otherwise it will ruin it. i normally spend 4 hours on a picture and sometimes it still doesnt come out good. its a mixture of skill luck and mood. oh yea and tools ^_^

so go for it jus try shading it in

alright! thanks ill keep that in mind.

if you're afraid of ruining your picture, just make random drawings. Doesn't necessarily have to be superly sophisticated. Just decent enough where u can just practice shading on those

Yea, practice shading first, or study anime pictures to see how they shade... and while you're shading, imagine how the light would bounce off your character and where the light wouldn't hit.

Couldn't you photocopy it, then do experiments with it?

i would photo copy but i dont have a scaner or printer. but i like all of your guy's ideas, thanks a lot.

You already have this image on your computer, send it to yourself via email and find a friend who has a printer. Then ask for permission to use it. Use their computer, open the email that was sent to yourself and print the image several times to experiment with shading, etc. :boo:

What Sarkurah said. Do ask a friend and stuff, I'd like to see how far you can take this drawing. Not a bad job there, Mei Yi. =P

OT: Traditional? Well, I have the same surname, but I tend to use Simplified. =P

thanks everyone! im going to try your ideas over this weekend!

Mei Yi? is that how you spell it?! nah ah!...and all this time thinking to myself "maiy", but thanks for telling me the right way. ^_^
