Description
Just something I threw together with this Ichigo/Rukia pic I've been working on. I tried to make it as authentic as possible to the actual manga covers (Japanese version, 'cause it's easier
) Does it work? D: I was never good with desktop publishing...As for the pic~ gaahh... hakamas (is that what Ichigo's wearing?) are hard to draw. =__= I had outlined the whole thing before actually researching hakamas on the internet, and found out there were specific details on them, i.e. number of folds in the pants DX Too late! Deal with it, perfectionist peoplez~ Bwaha...
And I was surprised how much those anatomy studies paid off =O Don't think I could've drew Ichigo's torso without them!
Sank yuu, George Bridgeman :3Oh yesh~ don't forget to FULL VIEW! Details, details, details....

This is a criiiiime to not fav. ;O; The anatomy is awesomely done, and I love how Rukia turned out on so many levels. The shading and the poses is impeccable, and the only thing I can find that needs a little tweaking would be Ichigo's face. The nose is just a tad too long-- that's all I could find in the entire thing that bothered me. xD You're so good! Wonderful work! You make me wish I had no homework so I could draw. XD This works very well as a manga cover. <3 Lovely!

I think the reason that the artist doesn't like whatever they make is because they see it through the entire process. xD If just one little swipe of the digital paintbrush goes astray... XD
I need to take some life drawing classes. :0! Being self taught is sort of hard. XD

yeah...hakamas are japanese (ie - v. symbolic and...somewhat meticulous)
but otherwise this picture is sooo accurate and so cool! *squeals like a little girl*
hm. perhaps you can gather that...i like it!!!

Awesome work. Perfect poses and clarity for a manga cover. Don't worry about the hakama; they look just fine. I think pleat counts and etc. are mostly ignored when drawing for the manga, anyhow. I really like Rukia's hair and eyes, but my favorite part is the inclusion of the red spirit thread. I think her outfit might be a bit too brown, though...

Omg,that guy has got ABS O____O
You always draw such dificult positions. I cant believe how you manige to draw them at all. You are really good
I like the lady and her outfit. She's very cute ^^
I love the shadows beneath them.

For once in 2 months, I actually checked my DevAlerts and your pictures were on top. XD yey~
I have never seen/read Bleach, but it seems to be everywhere and seems to star a guy with bright orange hair? 
That aside, this is an awesome picture with pretty shadows, folds and motion everywhere. I can't explain why, but I really like the curve of the red ribbon relative to the girl's pose. It's like an...awesome red ribbon whip weapon WHAMSMACK. O_O
Nice~ XD

Ichigo's nose looks a bit weird to me, but his torso is definetely incredible! *_* Rukia r00cks! She looks so nice! ^___^

Nose? o.o *looks closer* Can you be more specific? Is it the shape, the shading? I really appreciate it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I suppose it's both, but specially the shape. His nose looks to flat, while I've always remembered Ichigo's nose as a bit pointy and angular ^^u
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahhh? Really? o_o Well, I did try to draw his nose more realistic, maybe that's why ^^

Ichigo and Rukia! It's nice to see your style of them. And of course Ichigo (look at them abs) is hot. I really like it!

ummm ... knowing you have your own style and all ... isnt quite working for ol' ichigo here. everything looks very not fluid and stiff, almost like wooden mannequins. their expressions are very stiff, like something totally different from the manga style. my advice would be to redraw this again and throw some perspective to it to 'kick-it-up-a-knotch'. if you look at the linework made for bleach, or any monga, you can see there's some fluid position in body posture (contrapassoto?) to give life in the drawings. also, play with clothing fold dynamics, that'll totally bring more life to this drawing. i know you prob spend tons of time on this drawing already and would rather never do it again, but for educational sake, do it again and keep learning! even if its not your style, you can always pick up something that you can use later in the future. whelp, enough of my boring typey-type, keep up the good work! d ~ _^

Ah, thanks for the crit
"For educational sake", I'll take your advice into consideration and try to incorporate it in my other pics, but I don't think I'll be redoing this pic again
