Description
Following my initial sketch, I have altered the outfit slightly and tried to adjust the area the gaze is located to try and prevent it being a straight copy from the source linked below.This is a first piece done using Copics and, although I can see errors, I am ultimately happy with the result for a first attempt.

I like how you shade and how you used monotone colors for this particular piece. I especially like the dagger since the shading and coloring are really great. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="
Here is a list of things you can improve on:
- I think the eyes should be wider apart (like an eye's length apart) because it's would be more realistically proportional.
- The thumb looks out of place. It should be wrapped around the fingers so that it won't look unnatural.
- Nitpicky Misc: Ears should be more symmetrical, the hand should be bigger, and basically almost everything is unsymmetrical. (Like the shoulders, mask, etc.)
Sorry, I had to be nitpicky on this but I hope this helps! :>

Nit picky is fine by me
I agree on the eyes definitely, I initially started out with a full eyes space between the two, but saw I needed to increase them. What I mustn't have done however is move them to the side to accomodate!
At first, I didn't agree with the thumb common, but on looking to my own hand as a clenched fist, I can see what you mean, so duly noted there.
Ear-wise, I don't necessarily agree as it's not intended to be a 100% front on view, his head is tilted marginally, so the ear would be slightly smaller (unless that's not what you meant?)

Hello! I found this piece through Project Comment, and I've been meaning to critique it. To start, I really like the clean coloring and shading. Despite the slight graininess that is expected with any traditional art, it is very smooth and very well done! The lines are also something I'd like to comment on. They are almost expertly done, the only thing I'd say is to vary the line thickness to add interest to the picture. The flaw with this picture are minimal, but common mistakes. There are slight anatomy errors, such as in the jaw, pinky, and the size of the nose (which is a bit too small). The whole picture seems to be leaning a bit, which can usually be fixed by paying attention to specifically that aspect or having someone else look at it for the purpose of spotting that. Others said that you forgot his sharingan, but it isn't really noticeable unless you're looking for it. The last bit of advice I'd like to give is to create your own image, though I haven't taken a thorough look through the rest of your gallery so I don't know if this was just a "for fun" drawing which you only did once or twice. That's it, this is honestly a great drawing, and your Copic technique is very good!

Thank you for the compliments
I actually saw a video regarding varying thickness in the line art after I'd set this down and started colouring it, so I'll be looking at that for my next piece
Strangely, I found a lot of people seem to be commening that the colouring is smooth, yet this is what I find to be weakest when I look back at it, as it appears patchy to me and I can see it glaring at me! It was however my first time ever using Copics.
Making my own physical artwork is something that's eluded me thus far as I can never get it right. I can take an image in most mediums and replicate it to some level, if not as well, but making my own from it I seem to fall apart before I've even begun...
That said, I've been forcing myself to learn actual anatomy and as a result I'm making headway on a Hisoka image I am doing while on lunch at work. The image itself is taken from a screenshot, but as a new step for me, I am drawing it entirely from memory, the only time I've looked at a source image was to see roughly how high above his hairline his hair actually peaks.
It's not a perfect image, but as it's the first time in over a decade even attempting something from memory, (and only having drawn his face once before) I am quite pleased! I'll be putting that up soon as a WIP.

If you're looking at drawing your own original figures, looking at guidelines for people and stock images are the best way to do so. Rough sketches are a good way to quickly practice anatomy, and to get something anatomically correct can be as easy as just doing a sketchy outline. Also, sketching people and trying to get their pose sketched correctly before they move is a fun exercise to help improve speed once you've got the basics down. I'd also recommend getting a few how to draw books that have step-by-step processes starting from the guidelines. I'm sure if I thought for a long time I could come up with more tips for faster improvement, but that's all I can come up with off the top of my head! Thanks for the reply, and have a nice evening! (It's about 6 pm here so, sorry if you aren't in the same timezone)

Heh, at the time it was midnight here
I think for my next piece I am going to start with a 'wire' frame of the pose I want and try building upwards from basic shapes from there and see how I get on.
I have a few anatomy books, but none for people. I use online tutorials atm. Planning on sorting that though

IT'S KAKASHI!!! >w<
Hiyas! I found your art through ProjectComment ~
Kakashi is probably my second-favourite Naruto character, after Sasuke, but who doesn't love Sasuke?
I'm sure it's no surprise that some of the proportions are off. Don't worry too much; it happens to everyone. The big one is the hand; I would suggest doing some anatomy studies on hands to get them more accurate, and use plenty of references, like the picture you based this on. Also, keep in mind the fact that, in general, a hand is just smaller than the face.
In contrast, that kunai is freaking awesome! It's remarkably straight for a traditional drawing; I envy your ability to draw straight lines. XD
The nose could be done a little better, but all things considered, it's pretty good; I didn't even notice it at first. Of course, I was distracted by the hand, but you know.
Overall, you did a fantastic job, and you've got plenty of space for improvement, so keep working at it!

Thanks for the critique
Hands are one of my banes lol, I always struggle there. But then, I was previously struggling with the facial feature alignments etc and am showing improvements there, so I am happy with that at least!
I have only started doing manga style art in the past few months so things like the shading on noses is something I am still trying to get right
Problem with the Kunai is I can see the lining beneath the shading
Regarding the show, honestly, I've never seen it (I know, I'll hang my head in shame). I've only recently gotten in to Anime after watching Death Note, so know nothing of the characters. I did this as a character study as a friend requested a piece done of him, so I wanted to get a feel for it

Ooohhh... I see. I actually haven't watched it either; I read the manga. XD I always prefer the manga to the anime, because I read faster than typical anime pacing. But if you enjoyed Death Note, I have a feeling you'll like Naruto; it has a lot of dark elements that you might miss on the first pass. Especially considering (not-so spoiler) Naruto's parents are dead, and it constantly comes back to that fact. It's a really good story, though, and once you get into it, if you ever do, you'll understand why I love Kakashi so much~

It's on the list

Haha! Well, from what little I remember of what I've read of Bleach, you picked a good one. I would go back and read it properly from beginning to end, buutttt.... I like yaoi too much. >w<

overall this is a very nice drawing,
i love the coloring, especially in the kunai, the contrast in there with the darker colors and the bright highlight lookt awesome!
there are some little errors in the sizing, for example how his right iris is bigger than his left, also this pinky gets real narrow shouldve been a little wider,
and his collar is thicker on his right side, since it a front view they should be the same size.
other then that this is a great drawing.
a good overall look
keep up the good work!
oh and he doesnt have his sharingan e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/f… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Thank you
I'll be honest with you, I have never actually watched Naruto. A friend wanted a picture of Kakashi done and I was using this as a sort of trial run. That said, I have no idea what a sharingan is!
I tried to angle it so it looked more like he was slightly angled backwards (guess that didn't work out though lol), so had a slightly smaller section on the collar and tried to put a slightly darker shade on the right section of the chest. But as it's my first time with Copics, I realised that getting smooth coverage on larger, open areas is actually quite tricky!
Thank you for the information though and I'll look to improving on it next time

haha the sharingan is the eye he posesses its red with 3 teardrops in it.
and i can see where u were goin with the angle, i think making the farther shoulder a little shorter wouldve fixed it.
but deffenitely good coloring for first time with copics i know how tricky it is to get a smooth coverage with them.
im not really good with copics

quick question. do you rotate your page when you draw? or do you keep it straight up? some people tend to draw lines at certain angles a bit more skew. This only goes away with practice and control. so most people that draw skew lines like the ones I see in this picture tend to keep the page straight up. When you draw lines straight down you tend to bend them towards your left, which in turn makes the whole pose look like it's leaning towards the left of frame in the bottom half and some top parts. You have talent, But talent can only become a great talent with practice.

Normally I rotate as I work to make it more comfortable. Regarding the tilt, it's likely how I hold whatever I am using as even practicing a motion without a pen in my hand, I can feel myself pull to the left when I finish a downstroke!
I hadn't even clicked on that before you said, so thanks
What would you say makes the best form of practice? Simply doing over and over, or getting some form of mentoring? Most of what I have learnt has been through tutorials and trial and error. I guess there has to come a point when you can't really improve naturally without some form of outside advice?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would say the best way to straighten out your form and line work is just watch tutorials on poses and dynamic figures. Be sure to grab a pencil and do quick sketches of the poses shown in those tutorials. Another question. How fast do you create lines? Do you use strokes or move more slowly? If you use strokes more often, then practice slow line work and vise versa. Here is another great way to improve. "HANDS" they are pretty damn hard and are good practice for line work of all kinds. Here is a nice tutorial.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the link and certainly something I can use with the Hisoka WIP I have atm!
I tend to use a mix of single strokes and multiple. I will typically sketch out an under image with very rough linework to get the shape and once I feel I have that, I will put it in place more heavily or with ink. Lately I have been trying to train my ability to put a straighter single stroke down.
