Another diversion....this time anime

[simdel1]

Well, you see, i've never tried drawing people because i was convinced i would be crap. But lately iv been wanting to have people standing next to my car designs and anime seemed like the perfect style. So this is my first attempt to draw a person. I decided to try and do it as a self portait (although i didnt expect it to be as close as it was). I did the 'flesh form' first (as per a tutorial i found) and then put me in a race suit with boots and helmet (I race a 115cc racing kart). Notice how i have dodged having to do hands . It was coloured using a combination of mask tool and airbrush tool in photshop. The helmet has come out really crap .

anyway, let me know what you think.

Wow... that's pretty good for a first time drawing. Im not too good at drawing people either, i guess ill just stick to cars... hehe. Good job on the drawing though.

i think almost everyone on the whole forum thinks they cant draw people at all, me for sure... but that is good. i like the puma shoes, haha, my friend has some like that...its good, i would have trouble with the hands too

your lucky you get to race carts and your luckey your so good at drawing people...like you said...the helmet didnt turn out to good bu i love the race suit

[KustmAce]

ya the suit looks good, i dunno bout the face though, but i understand its your first one, and faces are like, extremely hard...so ill say good job and shut up now cuz i cant do any better

[Zcaithaca]

[KustmAce]

It looks great. You did very well on the proportions.

[KARTOONZ]

I really like the style ... kind of a japan anim. style .COOL bud, i cant draw peps worth a crap lol dont know why always seem to mess up the noses lol .

The drawing is pretty nice the hair is throwing me off. Drawing people IMO is much easier than cars, the faces are what will give you the problems. Some simple proportions that will help draw faces are roughly: a) top of the ears line up with eyebrows b) bottom of ear line up with nose

If you want to have people next to your car designs you can trace them in or make them very simple as not to take away from the car.

in what way? my hair is actually bleached on the top but not on the sides. i think its fairly accurate (if exagerated) approximation of my real hair
