I think my thread is gone so I decided to open a new one. (if the other thread is still roaming around... then plz close it. sorry for the trouble. Thnx)
Well... I'm sorry I couldn't keep my word about drawing people's RP characters. It's just that summer started and I was kinda busy. But now the summer is over I think I'm gonna start drawing again. (not RP characters, I hate breaking my promises) These are some of the "good-guy" characters I created. If you see any characters that look like some other characters from somewhere... please tell me. enjoy.

p.s. the second picture is just an experiement for my sig. I wish I can have my own sig. heh heh.

hmm not bad, not bad at all. i can't draw a lick so yeah that's me. but i think these are pretty good

Those are cool. It looks like they were draw in... Paint?

yup... there are created by Paint.

Sweet. No way they were drawn with a mouse, right? I want a Wacom tablet.. :sweat:

actually... I drew them with a mouse. But instead of using that pencil thingy I use the line tool. so... when I draw... it involves an ample amount of clicking.

Ah, I see. Yeah, I guess that'd work.

That's amazing! :eek:

I can't do anything on Piant... <_<

These are some of the old drawing request... and once again I am sorry for those who didn't get their characters drawn. oh and altron gundam for fun.

*is without speech*

ive seen cool stuff, but COLL STUFF WITH PAINT?!?!?!?!?

*is without speech*

this was done with paint... thats pretty impressive. and with a mouse, too!

:blink: wow...i could never do that in paint :mellow: *applauses*

It's... AMAZING! :coolies: And on paint! XD

Are you serious!?
Just with MSpaint!? That's awesome!
You made awesome art using a 'somewhat good' program. That's insane!
Keep up the craziness! lol

i...wow...i suck at drawing anything on paint...but you make it look so easy...
you make me feel kinda stupid...*said in a 'ha ha way' not the sad way*

Wow! Those are totally AWESOME! I do stuff in paint once and a while but nothing is even 1/100 as good as ours (I'm not sure how to say that so it will make sense).

Thanks everyone. I wish I can show you guys some of my pencil-and-paper drawing... but unfortunately I don't have a scanner. Perhaps I can take some digital pictures of them and post them up. (some people say that they are better than my computer drawing)

O_O Your computer drawings are better then what I can doo alot! And if your hand drawn pictures are better then that...

Thanks Everyone again! This was kinda like a request but not quite. Hehe. I just decided to try something different and drew 2-D from Gorillaz. I love their new album! Especially Oh Green World!

WOW!!! You're drawings are WAY....TOO GOOD....WITH ONLY PAINT!!! :blink:
You're one good,super,cool artist!!! B)

Finally... I found a place with a scanner and now I'm posting up some of my fan art. This was about 3-4 years ago and some quite new. You can kinda see my style of drawing in progress. Later I will post up some of my drawings. Tell me what you think of it. (Yes I was a big FF fan. And you might also wonder why I don't have any male characters drawn but I will change that the next time I post)

I like the Yuna one a lot! :lol:

I actually don't think your hand drawn are as good as the others you made in Paint. :unsure:

I agree, but the coloring for Yuna is excellent. :)

really?hmmm.. maybe I think it's better than my paint drawing 'cause it is easier. Well... here are some of my characters. The battle between a ninja and a dude is very recent compare to other ones. They are teenagers so they are not that buff. Oh and I accidently spilled something over "Janice Linely" so don't worry about it if you don't know what that yellow spot is. And I'm not good at drawing bodies.

the aerith and yuna ones are my faavourites, but they are all really really good!

wow. the rinoa one is pretty awesome, too.

O.K. Now I change my mind. :heh:

Your hand-drawn ones are better after your last post, because in the first set you gave us of your hand-drawn drawings, Aeris came out manly and Rinoa's face didn't come out very good.

But the last set was great! ^_^

*stabs marl for dissing rinoa pic*

I'm not dissing Rinoa, I'm just commentating on one of yellowmonkey121's drawings, not Rinoa herself. :heh:

the pic came out good, except for the her nose and mouth

They are Really good...Both paint and hand-drawn. Especially compared to mine....

i think we can all agree ymonkey has drawing skills, no?

yes, I believe we can....Especially compared to mine...

Awwhh... Such kind words. I miss the drawing days.

You dont draw anymore?

*Stabs Monkey*

SCREW YOU AND YOUR DRAWINGS!

*steals a bottle of Monkey skilz*

Now I can finaly draw stick people!^.^

~

Really though, your skills are far better then what ive seen. You have a distinctive style too, I can see it.

You dont draw anymore?

*Stabs Monkey*

SCREW YOU AND YOUR DRAWINGS!

Now I can finaly draw stick people!^.^

ROFLMAO

Why don't you draw anymore?

Well... I started drawing ever since I watched evangelion.... and I just can't imagine coming up with a robot design like evangelion. Besides I've been drawing, serioulsy, about 5 years. Before that I just drew for fun so I had a good run. And also... I don't even know if my drawing style is something people would like in animes.

I would

I wouldnt mind! People like One Peice, and the art is as good as a 3 year old!

The only problem with your art style being in an anime is it is very detailed, so frame by frame by frame, all done by hands...Computer made frames are hard to do already! I would know, I make cartoons..

They are only detailed because they are "still" drawing... such as posters or wallpapers.

yeeeesshhh..... how much patience did you have? before i had PS i used paint, and did things entirely out of them too.... ^^; but they not so good, nor as detailed.... XD

but i noticed that with most of your drawings...... the hands are a bit small.

Haha.. yeah. Maybe it's just me... or is drawing hand the most difficult part or what?

i get lotsa trouble with drawing hands too, so dont worry. Its a common difficulty XD

My goal in drawing was to draw a full characters without having to use an eraser. And now that I almost got to that point I'm pretty content.

wow.... how long have you been doing oaekaki, anway?

what's oaekaki?

oaekaki is basically art done by MS paint, or a oaekaki board, such as pbbs paint

I don't think I've ever done that... unless you're talking about the Paint Program that comes in standard with every computer. I have no board... I draw them with my mouse.

edit: I think we should just PM each other rather than wasting up these spaces. I think there was a rule about this. no? If not then continue away!

i dont think its spam or anything... we are sticking to the topic, arent we? :mellow:

so... how long have you done this? do you use the curve tool alot? I also did one oekaki :P Not as detailed as yours tho

Well... I started off just copying something. Like these dragonball z drawings. One's on September 10 2001 and other one on April 6 2002.

PS. Oh and I use the line tool the most... I also use curve tool from time to time

ahhh.... wow..... but how did you manage to do the writing in the first one?

With a mouse... and a constant Ctrl+Z (undo) lol. Yeah it was pretty frustrating.

haha yea.... i think you should get photoshop! its alot different to paint, but im sure you can do really well with it as well! :)

I wonder if there is any place where I can get the photoshop for free, since I do feel like drawing again.

2 words, TEACH ME!! Seriously youve got skill, its nice to see drawings like yours.

About the PS thing: You could always try The Gimp, its free.
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/

There are lots of sites outhere for tuts (but im guessing after you get used to the tools you wont need any) if you have any problems you could post in the help with gimp thread by Crimson (I dont think he would mind)

Or PM me, Marlon, Septer, and Sondagger (again im only asuming he wouldnt mind)
So... When are we gonna get a new set?

I wonder if there is any place where I can get the photoshop for free, since I do feel like drawing again.

You can't (unless you get it illegally which is, well, illegal and we don't talk about such things on this forum =p ). You could try the Gimp though (gimp.org) which is a similar program, but unlike Photoshop, it's free.

Haha.. yeah. Maybe it's just me... or is drawing hand the most difficult part or what?

I HATE drawing hands! It's WAAAAY too dificult for me. But I'm really glad I saw your pics! They rock so hard! They're awesome! I've never seen anything like them! I wish I could draw as well as you!

I remember drawing on paint one time, and coloring it. It came out pretty good and I didn't use the line tool so it was hell, but fun. Good job! I like your work, a lot.

Yeah, your pics are awesome--I can't believe they've been done solely on paint...I used to scan some in grade four-five-ish and colour them in in paint by only using the paintbrush tool, blending colours, etc., it was crazy and took a ton of time, so I just find it amazing u actually started the pics from scratch! :heh:

If you can draw it in paint then it is a lot easier to color it.

Well... apperently this korean soap opera called "궁" <--- "Goong" is really popular in Korea. Now I know this because I've visited Korea for 2 weeks and it's been about 6 to 7 years since I was there. "Goong" is I guess.... "Palace" in English. They also have an anime series for this particular one and the drawing wasn't so bad. Out of curiosity... I wondered how I would draw these characters from the Korea soap opera and this is what I got. I don't have a scanner so I took a picture.^_^
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/Jiehoon/MyPics001.jpg

*jaw drops*

It is so well-drawn!

O_O OH. MY. GOD. that is soooo cool!!!! -squeals and bows down- your drawings are just soo good!!

how long you been drawing for?

That drawing was very, very good! Especially the faces and the hair! And the necks, too - hardly anyone knows how to draw necks. :lol: Keep it up!

Wow. Thats really good. I like how you kept the drawing soft looking.

*thumbs up*

HmMmMmMmMm....????there must be trick to doing it.....
very well done...:shifty:

Use a soft pencil of course.

Question for you guys: You think the picture will look better if I add shades and lights? The problem with that is... I can't draw shades and stuff. Are there any tips in doing that?

My teacher says do is really lightly and a light pencil at first...

First try cell shading. Make out areas that you think would be shaded and shade them with a colour you think fits.

After you can do that get a good pencil blender (its like a roll of cardboard you sharpen to a point). You can blend your shadings with just one pencil type with one of them so its a bit easier. You can also use it to blend two pencil types together.

Experiment.

If I were you I would make another drawing to practice one, I'd hate for something so nice to get messed up cause you messed up somehow.

It might well ruin the image though. some pictures are at their best without shading or wotsnot. On the other hand, it could be a very good learning item.

just getting ready for the competition.

you like them huh.... well i got more coming so stay tuned... or not.

they're awesome!! <3
wanna see more :)

Yes, I want to see more too!

well.... it's been awhile but i've managed to draw some more. i have three for you guys and i tried drawing my girlfriend since i recently got one (it's crazy i tell ya). she may look too much like an anime character in the pic but she is scottish-ukrainian mongolian-japanese. she somewhat looks like the picture i drew but her smile is so much prettier. she's the last one by the way.

is that chaekyung and shin?
cos' Yul had a softer chin and face~

i'm not quite sure Eternal.

Looks like Tifa offa FFVII, but that's my opinion, that's all that comes up when I see that drawing.

nice... i like tifa. but then again who doesn't?

i like a lot. i like the eyes the best. mya!

I think they're Squall and Rinoa during the ballroom scene of FFVIII, but that's just me. XD

I really like your drawings Monkey!
They are all so lovely.
Do you take requests at the moment?

I really like your drawings Monkey!

Do you take requests at the moment?

oh geez... i tried this once or twice and i failed pretty miserably.

ummm.... yeah. let's get it on. I'll try to do it whenever i have time. i'm pretty busy with work, school, family, friends, girlfriend and such. (sometimes composing music.... shhh...!)

here is the rule though:
1 request at a time
no one requests until i'm done with the last one
first come first serve
only hand drawn
i'm only gonna draw waist and up (so if you want me to draw legs... be creative i guess)
be very descriptive (pose, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hair, clothes, etc)
no color
no background
only partial nudity
no gay stuff
2 characters max in one drawing
and don't get mad at me for delaying

if you can follow those rules (<- i don't really like that word though) i think we got something going.

okok

I'd like a drawing of Aoi from Gazette based on the individual photo of him in the official site:
http://www.pscompany.co.jp/gazette/

It's rather small though, hope you don't mind. You don't have to draw exactly like the picture and you can add/remove details as you deem fit. I want it large though.

Thanks. ^^

Ok. My bad for the late reply but when Eis-jisuk asked me to draw this certain character, which was pretty hard since it was small. So i was a little bummed but now I remember I can draw however I wish so I drew the character... long story short... I did it.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/Jiehoon/Aoi2.jpg
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/Jiehoon/Aoi.jpg

These are some of my characters that I've been developing. I'm hoping people will like it. Naming the characters is pretty tough but it's fun yah?

Vosmal

Vosmal close up
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/Jiehoon/Vosmal3.jpg

Izzi's very cute, and would make a good character, in my opinion. The ninja guy is too generic though, I think, to be anything but henchman.

Very good work on Izzi though! :)

He looks a bit like Kakashi doesn't he? lol

Very nice art sketches though Yellow, much better than what I can do I can tell you that.

He looks a bit like Kakashi doesn't he?

I was just thinking that very same thing! :lol: Very very good nonetheless.

Thanks guys. I like Kakashi but I like my character better. (but then again who doesn't like his/her own character) Here is more. hope you guys like my style.

This one is my favorite because even the rough draft looks pretty good to me so i can't even imagine the final draft. I like it and I hope everyone else likes it too. I call this drawing "The Stand"


From the furthest to the closest: Shap, Ester, Izzi, Sara, Janice

[gratuitous praise]

Your drawings are absolutely amazing. Keep it up.

[/gratuitous praise]

my goodness thats a good drawing! Keep up the great work.

Amazing...
Teach me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

xD

I see Quistis Trepe (http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/5480/8quistiscum1.jpg)!

WOW!!!! .... it's sooo good
Continue the awesome work.... :)

Lol panda girl or doggy at bottom left, you don't see those every day lol... nice one. Good sketch, I can see you can really make a good picture in your mind and transfer it to a piece of paper very well... You have much talent, might I ask how much exp. you have?

Seriously can you teach me? I've been trying FOREVER to learn to draw good but all the tutorials are designed around drawing one object from one angle...><

I luv ur drawing style! its really good! keep up the good work.

your style is awesome! keep it up, i'm looking forward to seeing more :)

I shall reply to this thread every single day until you teach me...

And if you do this without Monkey's approval, you will quickly be banned.

Yeah that would be a problem wouldn't it...lol

Well... I don't know how to teach you but I can tell you how I learned to draw. I started drawing when Neon Genesis Evangelion was popular and I just watched anime and read manga and started to draw characters from Evangelion, Dragonball Z, Bubble Gum Crisis and Pokemon. Yeah... I like girls so I draw them a lot. and if you see my drawings I only got few angles down: front, side, 45degree left and right and maybe angle from below. I still got to work on the bodies and stuff but long story short you just gotta keep on drawing. since I can't teach you everything it'll be better if you ask me specific question

Specific? How do you draw hair like that? o.O

Check here, this is a very good site on how to start out with the basics in anime/manga art.... I found it very helpful, and to this day use it as a sort of guide...

http://www.cablenet.ne.jp/~japanime/tutorial/hair1.html

And here's some other stuff that'll teach you how to draw different parts of the character anatomy in animes and mangas...

http://www.howtodrawmanga.com/tutorial.html

Monkey, this'll is a good place to start working on body work and different angles as well, just something to get you started is all... Though this site may be very, very old, it has been proved useful to many artists on this forum... I think... for me at least...

:D Wow Crimson. You're awesome.
Any tips for coloring?

My first tip for coloring would be to learn how to draw before worrying about coloring. ;P

Well that depends, there are a vast different styles of coloring... there's penciled coloring, markers, painting, digital coloring, and etc.... Anyone in particular?

Lol

@ Hopeless
I just got PWNT

@ Crimson
Gawd I wish I could say all of the above but I'm going with pencil coloring :O

<3 Thx We're wayyy off topic btw. We're suppose to be talking about how awesome/weird monkey's drawings are xD

don't mind me... I'll let you know when if things bother me. I want to learn about pencil coloring too.

Hey sorry for the delay, I've found a bit of tips...

http://drawsketch.about.com/cs/animemanga/a/color_anime.htm

I have a book on it by Shojo beat... Though some people may not like it, it gives pretty good tips and that's where most of my skills come from. They give some specifics about pencil and ink coloring on there... I'll try and post a scan of it asap...

thanks for the site... but i think i'm more of a visual learner. I've read it but I got to see the drawings... or.... maybe i'm just lazy. I know I draw girls alot but I think I can draw guys too... and i think dudes are easier to draw don't you think? Girl.... whatever they do they are friggin' complicated! But hey that's what the guys are for... to simplify their lives. lol


Vosmal's Father
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/Jiehoon/VosmalsFather.jpg

Vosmal has a father? wow!..... cool
Hehe, his father doesn't look too happy there
Hey, i just noticed that Vosmal and his father have similar outfits
Good Work, Monkey!!!

Lol I agree as well, girls are pretty hard to draw... Though, I've gotten a bit better at the facial views. Just need to work more on the bodies now.

That's a good drawing too, nice shading. :P

hope she looks japanese.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/Jiehoon/Japan.jpg

Looks really good. I want to say the face could use a tiiiiiiiiiiny tiny tiny adjustment but I can't tell what kind, so I'll just shut up. ^_^

Yeah! Once again, awesome work!!! :thumb:
I really like her outfit and how you drew those lines on the kimono, made it look so realistic
Hmmmm, i agree with Nate River about the tiiiiiiiiiiny tiny tiny adjustment.... but i also dont know what it is, so i guess i should keep quiet too :sweat:

Her right cheek looks slightly out of alignment with her left - like she has one cheekbone that's higher than the other - that's the only tiny tiny thing I can notice, lol. But sooooooooooo pretty!

Whilst the overall drawing is awesome, she doesn't look totally Japanese in my opinion...

in that case i'm gonna try one more time to see if she looks more japanese

I think it may be partially the eyes - because they look more western-shaped than Asian.

I still couldn't figure out what about the face didn't fit with me so I did something I probably shouldn't have done and fiddled with it a bit in MS paint. The changes I made were very very subtle but they seem to fit in a little better to me. First off, I brought in her right jawbone a bit and added a bit of a cheekbone on the same side. Second, I shortened the bridge of the nose and made the eyes a teeny tiny bit smaller while extending the outside corner of her left eye a bit. Lastly I brought the mouth and ear closer to the inside of the face by about two or three pixels.

If you'd like to see what I ended up with and promise not to murder me for mutilating your beautiful drawing, open the spoiler. :P

Before:
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b87/leonotis/monkeysbefore.jpg

After:
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b87/leonotis/monkeys.jpg

Yes, I agree, but, still trying to fufill the promise as much as I can... It could still be a bit better. What seems to be a bit wierd to me is that she has more of a manly facial stature... I believe that she should have a more curved, rounded face. The current stature just doesn't go well with the body... not to be mean or demanding to the art, just sharing my personal opinion is all.

Oh my god! Oo
You can't be jealos, cause I AM jealous!
Those pictures are miraculous ^.^
I am not able to draw with pencils... But I also have to say that we draw completly different. My style is more... 'comic-like' and yours is more realistic :)
I mean... I just draw since I was 11 or 12, so ca. 3 years...
Your characters are so... live... They seem as if you took a photo, when they moved^^ I have problems with such things^^'
May you tell me how long you are working for one sketch?
I luv your pics :wub: :)

Beautiful...and is that a marijuana leaf on her fan?

XD Unfortunately, the edges of marijuana leaves are more jagged. Very nice picture by the way.

The only thing I didn't like about this pic was the hand. Maybe the fingernail is a bit small? I agree the eyes look more western >_< For some reason looking at her eyes makes me think "NARUTO" lmao. Don't ask me why, it's too early.

Remember Shap? Yeah... she's pretty messed up. and thanks for all the good and bad things about my works. i'll try to work on the stuff you guys and girls suggested. i do gotta say i've got a lot better since those final fantasy drawings :sweat:

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/Jiehoon/Shap-1.jpg

Wow, that's awesome. You have some real skill.
I'd love to CG one! Very inspirational indeed!!
Great work ~

Interesting pose, and pretty cool foreshortening on her right arm. I'm not really believing her stance though; with that broken looking leg of hers, coupled with the way she's leaning over, she'd almost surely fall down methinks.
If she's on the verge of collapsing, and that's what you were going for, then nevermind my comment. However, it looks to me like you wanted her to be heroically keeping her ground despite her injuries - and she looks like she's about to lose her ground...or rather, find it with her face. X3

Still a cool drawing though. It's nice to see you trying these tougher poses. It's a sign that you'll definitely get better and better very quickly.
Also, you have a pretty sweet signature. Do you practice it or something? My signature looks like crap, so I just print out my name on all my drawings, hahah. :heh:

Then again, I use my tablet for basically all my finished works, so it's pretty impossible for me to sign my on that thing anyway. Too much lag, heh.

awesome job there!!!
it looks really cool!!! ^_^
Just want to add on to what HopelessComposer said :D
Yeah... i guess if you want her to look a bit stronger... maybe you would like her feet to look a bit more strong like a bit firm on the ground... especially her right, wait no left, no no it's right.. yup! it's right.. her right feet to be a bit more firm on the ground cos it looks like she's gonna lose balance!! and maybe have her looking forward-uppish (is uppish even a word? lol! :sweat:)... instead of looking down... but if that wasn't your intention... then!! :heh:

OH OH!!! you're signature is really cool too!!! it's sooo well, COOL!!! ^_^

... you did a really good job!!
it looks really good and your awesome signature just makes it look even better!!!

Well... it's good that you guys see it that way. it's a little on and off project but hopefully i can finish. knowing me it'll take forever to finish though heh. Meanwhile, Shap is in trouble.
