Well, I don't want to really knock this off topic, but if someone could just explain what Haruhiism is that would be helpful.

EtherealByte · Jan 19, 2007, 08:27 PM // 20:27

The wallpapers/keychains e.t.c. are from an anime called the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya. Funny show... i guess haruhi lovers have a religion of their own called haruhiism?

Mikuru ftw!

He said he would stop commisions at page 10, it's highly likely that will be ignored.

Wow, your a really great drawer. Do you know of any websites that have some tips on how to draw? And how did you learn to draw, did you just keep practicing sketching things whenever you could? Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, I'm just interesting in becoming a better drawer myself. Anyway, keep up the great work!

Mistical miss · Jan 21, 2007, 08:48 AM // 08:48

I'm a bit of an artist myself as well, and I can tell you this:

If you want to do a good drawing you have to get the anatomy right (or atleast the way u like to have it)...

To do that, its pretty easy to use urself as the object.

First picture the pose, then go stand in that pose yourself, see where ur knees are, where ur arms end and stuff like that...

Arms are longer than most ppl think, so are legs

For a more realistic style, measure ur head (about 1.5 spreaded hand if u have long fingers) then measure ur body in the same way... then project that information on your drawing.

For the hands, hold your own hand like in the pose your drawing and look at it (if possible)
Look where the fingers end up, which are longer from which view, and is the tumb on the backside or on the front? (Seen some ppl make that mistake)

If you go for a somewhat more Eggy-style...
Then the head is somewhat bigger,breasts somewhat higher, legs longer and thinner, and the lines are much different from realistic style.

For instance, the way Eggy draws a head, they have a very pointed chin most often (which looks great in that style)..

The most difficult part is the pose, by far (which eggy does really really well *jealous*)

Some hints on poses: Don't make the character have a straight back, it usually makes them look like they are frozen solid..

Draw the S curve of a woman's back early in your drawing, it makes it easier to draw the rest right (shoulders/arms/head/legs) as then you have something to hold on to..

If u try a view from the side, don't place one leg exactly behind the other, try to show both arms or it might look like something is missing..

Don't start with hard angles early on, not a good plan

A womans upper legs are fatter and longer than you think

A person with arms stretched by the side, go down to half the upper legs.. (nearly at the knees), this is LONG

If u draw women, draw hips (or they look like men)

Hands are big

I can't do feet so I won't tell u anything about feet

I hope this helps......

Btw Eggy, very very nice drawings, like nearly all of them especially the more swingy poses

Mistical Miss,
As I have not yet found any mistakes on egnik's drawings, wich I think are great btw ( I only don't order one because I myself have no money). I think those tips will be useful for many other people who aspire to be great drawers like me. I'm fourteen years old and everybody I personally know say I'm a great drawer ( for my age, of course), I've realized I have a problem with poses. My pictures all seem static and frozen. I've been trying to supress that problem but it hasn't been working out.

Egnik, keep drawing, your works are really masterpieces. When I get one platinum, I'll order a picture of a paragon. I don't want to fill you up with work, though.

Okkayy.. hes not taking any more commissions! lol

The Thing · Jan 21, 2007, 01:41 PM // 13:41

Really awesome artwork! Hmm...I'd like to give you a little constructive critisism, but there isn't really anything to say.

Keep it up!

And by the way, maybe you should add in something into the thread title, to indicate you aren't taking any new commissions at the moment?

Jeff Highwind · Jan 21, 2007, 04:48 PM // 16:48

Yea, CLEARLY No one is listening that COMISSIONS ARE LOCKED AT PAGE 10!
