my family is against me becoming an anime artist, but i'm shooting for it.
may i ask, why you find it interesting?

If an anime artist is what you want to do, go for it girl. Its your life.
Now if they tell you not to do drugs or get really drunk the night before an exam or something like that.. well, I'd listen to them. ^_^

i liked the line work you did on her hair and pigtails.
If you want to do anime, remember that the style is based on realism, so maybe try and get some practice with that. you can just do sketches of people in magazines, etc. That'll help you develop your anime style and take it to the next level...

i like their use of colour. but for hellobaby, i like the elegant flowing style. why?
I just wanted to see where you wanted to get to or what you're going to be. Those artists don't incorporate a lot of realism like this artist [link] whose anime work i look at; so i wasn't sure what kinda artist you want to evolve into.

cool.
i can sort of see similarities in body shape between your work and claparo-sans' and how he may have influenced it.
For me though, my biggest influene is traditional paintings (oil paintings). i spent half an hour staring at one artwork in the gallery

I don't look at claprao sans for inspiration, they're just an artist i follow. I really don't pay much attention to anime artists in genneral, I don't particularly like the style...
oil is a great medium to manipulate, many artists over the years have done amazing work with oil.

haha, i guess i'm drawing connections where there are none ^__^
the anime style captures my interest because of the sheer amount of expression and variation that you are able to imbue the artwork with - you can see the character's personality on the page.
unfortunately i'm not allowed near oil due to the sheer amount of mess i make. so i'll bide my time and stick with acrylic and water-colour.

well you do pretty well with digital. why not just stick with that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^_^ People just don't seem as impressed by my digital artwork - my paintings on the otherhand are loved. Plus I love doing them. It's a cool feeling having a painting that takes up a square meter so that you can be envelopped in that world. And also the feeling of smearing the paint is fun.
Plus my art teacher thinks I'm better at painting and I'll take her word for it. Unfortunately I can only paint at school. How dull 
but I'm glad to know you think I do well with digital. ^_^

traditional is a great medium to use. I never learned any painting techniques other than markers and colored pencil, so digital has been good because I'm a real neophyte when it comes to coloring...
I think digital can be just easier because you can create things in a variety of mediums, without actually needing to buy the supplies and learn the mediums.

i was never really taught how to paint or anything, i just decided to paint after having seen my friend do it. and i found it was awesome. so i'm a real ameteur - but that isn't any different to anything else i produce, so i'm okay with being an ameteur painter. and i get what you mean about colour. i really only draw with pencil, and that's about it.
There's no denying that mucking around with the mediums is fun. and i love the fact that you can duplicate things as well. ctrl z has become my favourite thing too. it provides less stress, knowing that a mistake won't waste any supplies.
What I find with painting though, is that it does help you to get a grasp on colour as you are forced to define shapes using shade.

definitely not having that background makes me a tad uneasy when it comes to coloring in general. I learn via playing around a lot, but with color there is almost too much to do, an inordinate number of directions to go...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, i play around a lot, and when i'm stuck i either draw the same picture over and over, or do a tutorial. the pure freedom of having so many directions to go is thrilling though and knowing there is so much unexplored ground.

and at times it can be death by choice. so many options you don't know where to start...

and this is why a lot of people never get past the basics in art.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the irony of that? you can do a ton just with the basics. some of the best artists i know only do one thing...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
mmm, but what i meant by that was that most people rarely get past a certain point.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well yeah, but that's due to drive and motivation...
